At this rate in a few months the Vita might get something!

That's nice.

Europe has a strange way to calculate percentages. 100% off= free no?
Maybe for europe. US one has seen better months but I won't complain about getting an easy trophy game like Trine 2. It even has a platinum!
I might finally bite on Rayman Origins too for that price.

It sounds like House of tr Dead Overkill is going to be available for download. Good, let me complete the trifecta.

They aren't allowed to all it "free" because you pay for subscription. I think i saw some Playstation person say that, anywya

I was critic of the PS+ program early in its life, but I gotta say it's really looking better these days. They are offering free games that are actually desirable with greater frequency it seems.
They're free for PS+
But now they're free.

Makes sense. Something isn't free if you are paying for it.
I'm seriously thinking of getting PS+. I don't always have money to buy new games, and getting a free supply every month will more than make up for that.
The only thing I'm not sure about it the discounts... I know it a better deal for people who actively buy games, and I don't really do that. I rarely buy games on PSN, and I always prefer to buy a physical copy for full games. $15 is amazing for Rayman, but I'd still prefer to buy a physical copy that costs 15 pounds from Zavvi.
The US one is generally better than the European right? Anyone still selling the Target cards for cheap?

Not bad by any means but no free PS3 game? All the free games are PSN. I already have Trine 2 and Symphony of the Night.
Still love PSN+, free crap is amazing, but there have been better months in my opinion. Last month was pretty nice, Need for Speed Shift 2 and Shank 2.

Nope it's locked until you resub. But if you purchase anything with a PS+ discount it's yours forever.
or until Sony releases PS4 with 0 backwards compatibility
Not for games.
The promise of PS+ was always 1 PSN game, 1 PS1 game, and 1 PS mini game a month. It just so happened that some of the PSN games were PS3 games.

PS+ has gone from completely lackluster, to surprising me more and more every month.

Silent Hill and Max Payne free?!
I think it's time to renew my PS+ membership.

Not a PS+ member but that looks pretty good. I hope this is the model Sony carry over into the PS4 instead of going down the pay for online route. Most of the people on my FL are PS+ subscribers so I gather it's pretty popular and Sony must be making a nice bit of cash out of it.

Is it really a deal if you're paying money to get discounts?
Thanks for sharing?

You can always get the three month membership, but I don't know how much that costs in the U.S.

Wow, Rayman for $15? If Steam doesn't match it this month, I may have to jump on that.

Same here, even though they have some things offerings every now and then I still won't pay a dime for this.

let's say I download Symphony of the Night next month as a PS+ subscriber... if I'm still a PS+ member, can I play it the month after that?

They can't say free because the games aren't free. You're essentially renting them from Sony.
Is Costco a deal if you're paying for membership?
If sony ever wonders why there might be a slump in game sales they should look no further than playstation plus.
When I consider spending more money on a new game I tend to take a quick look at my backlog of free games I have yet to play.
Shank 2 just recently, FarCry 2, inFamous 2 I got for free from the subway website game and a bunch of minis and ps1 games.
A long list of PS1 games. (Just waiting on that vita patch for ps1 games sony)
Even super stardust delta I got free from att for my vita is keeping me from spending money on new games.
Throw in a backlog of purchased games and god forbid your a multplatform gamer and it's hard to justify new purchases.
Playstation plus is excellent for the budget family with younger kids. The $50 a year gives the kids free games every month to play, its new to them even if we've played some of them.
