Did I say anything was directly wrong with it? Nope. Only stated that it's silly to say that the PS4 doesn't have the content on it they could show when really it's because they don't have to to try and push the service (mostly because they are already forcing it on anyone that wants to play multiplayer).

Sure thing but why are they so generous on the 2 other platforms? When I got my Vita I got like 6 or 7 games to download for free. PS4, well, hmmm...
I really am glad it's gonna be a PS+ game. I gave up on this years FIFA after getting my tenth offside call in a match when I was just trying to make a good run.
My gf gave me Gravity Rush as a birthday present last week, so I don't really need PS+ for that. Wipeout, yeah, I want to play it, but I figure I can grab it along with other actually good games on some month in the future.

Wasn't Puppeteer already on PS+?? How do I already own it?

I'm pretty sure I'm done buying PSN games, at least first party
Bought Puppeteer for $7 and still haven't played it :/

Skullgirls and Vita games this month for me.
That's not uncommon. When is Tearaway or Guacamelee coming?

Just saw Surge Deluxe... meh... I got better stuff to play.
fair enough though I'd argue it's because people are willing to actually buy games on PS4 because they are starved for content whereas on PS3/vita they'll just take whatever is thrown their way on PS+
I'm not sure how much of a factor the multiplayer ps+ requirement factors into it
No. You must have bought it.

That could very well be as well.

Tearaway probably never or as a replacement for the IGC at E3.
Guacamelee is going to get released soon on PS4/Xbone so there's zero chance of it beeing free anytime soon.
Because, at least in North America, Sony's still in "DEAR GOD PLEASE BUY THIS THING" mode. Hell, are the rumors of that PS4/Vita pack-in still salient? PS3 just has a lot of stuff that is it's optimal sales timeline and at least gets exposure plus a nice sony payout for going up on PS+.
No reason to do ANY of that with the PS4, especially after this month where the PS4 is finally getting it's next round of interesting exclusives.

Because there were no free PS+ Vita games at the launch of the Vita. And obviously no PS3 games at PS3 launch. PS4 is the first time they are offering free games at launch. And go figure, there are fewer freebies per month as a result.
Hoho! My years and years of hovering over the 'buy' option on Limbo but never pulling the trigger have paid off!
(Though I'm sure I actually already have it 10 times over on PC via Humble Bundles and such)

They've had NBA Jam and NFL Blitz in the past.

I believe this is the first annualized sports games. They've done the reboots of both NBA Jam and NFL Blitz before.

The PS3 lineup is great! And another game for my future PS4 isn't bad either.
Nice, will be a great addition to my collection!

I didn't want to say anything to tip Sony off so they decide to bring down the quality of Plus because of my statements alone
, but here goes
I've bought PS1, 2 , and 3 all Day 1, but I've been trying hard to hold off on getting a PS4 until Black Friday or Christmas for those holiday bundles / deals.
PS Plus helps with that A LOT. PS Plus along with cheap 360/PS3 goty editions of games I missed and gog gives me a healthy backlog to play through until I finally bite.
I almost cracked with Infamous though, so I don't know if I'll last after what we see at E3.

Announce Dark Souls 2 PS4 version or even better that Demon's Souls sequel/spinoff and you'll have me instantly.
Yes! In for Limbo and Stick it to the Man.
Might be relevant to some people, but if you want it on PC, Skullgirls is 50% off on Steam as a daily sale http://store.steampowered.com/app/245170/?snr=1_4_4__43

You can't waste money on Puppeteer. It's an amazing game, would benefit greatly from a PS4 release...

ME TOOOO! ; ;
Oh well. More time to finish Persona 4 Golden.
Excited for Skullgirls and Stick It To the Man!. A kind of meh month for me personally because I own most everything else, but that's not Sony's fault. Service is still paying dividends.

Not sure what Stick it to the Man is but I'll check it out, along with Skullgirls.
Really hated Puppeteer from the time I spent with it. It'll be nice to have Limbo on Vita.

Whoa, pes 2014 BOMBA. I know it must do poorly compared to how it used to but that's surprising to me.
us euros got the superior 2013 edition not too long ago. Not trying to rub it in, but the new engine caused a lot of problems with gameplay. 2013 was the culmination of a change in approach that began in 2011. 2014 is really disappointing but for no extra cost someone may quite enjoy it.
