Whoa, ok, super-glad to be wrong. The way I thought he said it at the conference was "PS+ is also coming to Vita, and will be available for 49.99," which I took to mean "buy this thing." Did they say anything like "no additional charge to existing subscribers of PS+" during the conference? If they did and I missed it, my bad. If not; they should have.
This is rad. I'm stunned.

Goddamn, that's not a sustainable business model, but who the f' cares...brand new game this month and one in October?
Hell yes.
Yep, glad they finally have official Vita support. I will be happy if they give us Vita freebies to make up for the so called disappointment that I am experiencing this summer.
I hope you're also complaining on the blog.
Any NA PS+ people thinking of jumping over to EU PS+ once their subscription is over?
Oh please please please do this. I will have so much fun laughing at people when the pendulum inevitably swings back to other way again.
Really happy with Walking Dead ep 1 and 2 but I'm fairly sure that Sideway is the worst sidecroller I've played in a long time. It's got some decent licensed songs and the art design isn't super bad but the gameplay is terrible. Very poor level design/language and the framerate makes this game frustrating.
It's really that bad? I saw a trailer of it and it seemed cool. Just havent tried it. I heard the Steam version is FPS capped too, so that's a bummer. I have both versions thanks to indie bundles and Plus
Sideways had so much potential...but it controlled horribly to me.
I really doubt SCEA is going to step it up with their offerings. It's a shame too because when PS+ first started, SCEA was the one offering all the great deals but once Europeans complained about SCEE's crap, SCEA downgraded what they offered with the service and haven't really recovered since.

I didn't find it that bad and 100% it. It's not a long game either.

Hot Shots Golf is all but certain to be one of the rental titles, if they follow the same template as the triple Plus.
UNIT 13 might also make an appearance at some point, as might Little Deviants and Reality Fighters.
I'm assuming it'll be a lot of PS1 and PSP titles.
Yeah, I'm thinking PSP titles to start off. Which I'm actually ok with, and would be incredibly happy if Sony were to somehow get trophy functionality into them. That would actually be rad.
Oh, and Escape Plan seems like something that'd get in quickly too.
I'm assuming Vita isn't getting an IGC like the PS3 and PS+ on Vita will just be discounts.
Never heard of Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit but the super colourful trailer I just found makes me want it.
It's not that bad for free but it's not good at all. The poor framerate and hard to understand design language killed it for me. Even if the music was decent it became really irritating to hear the same Mr. Lif song looped like 4 times in a single level.
We already get that in the EU. That would really stink.
And would make perfect sense coming from Sony. So you're probably right.

You crazy. Sideway is awesome.
Nope. Just going to let mine run out. I may re-up when more quality content goes live in the US.

I think it could be awesome, as I've sunk a decent amount of time into it, going a few bosses and areas in, but the framerate being variable and constantly sub-30 really hurts the presentation and playability when the input timing and what you see happening on-screen seems pretty negatively affected. It's still playable, but man does the inconsistent choppiness really detract. Otherwise, it's like they stole every notable mechanic from the 2D platformer handbook and stuffed it into one game, and it works well aside from possibly being overcomplicated by using every button on the controller.
Already have 3 of those. I actually wouldn't mind Little Deviants or Modnation Racers. Those are games I'd never buy.

Quite a bit of new titles too. Goddamn.
Wow, is this a new practice in which they're announcing things way in advance? Probably a new practice in response to people who are bummed about buying games just a week before it becomes free.
Pretty interesting mixed bag there. Pretty happy about Machinarium and Red Dead. Couldn't care less about Dead Rabbit. Complete waste of a Game of The Month in my opinion.
Where's your source btw? I haven't heard about most of those.

Combine the info there and you get that list.

It ran surprisingly well on every game I threw at it but Tekken Tag Tournament. Which ran lower than 5fps.
I think you still have to buy PS plus subscription, but you don't have to buy for PS3 and vita separately.

Correct. Once you're Plus, you're Plus on both systems.
Wow, really impressive list. If we get even half that in the US, I'll be very happy.
That comment is not me taking a shot, I'm being sincere. I'm very happy with the offerings in the US.
Very cool stuff.
Expecting a lot of negativity regarding Dead Rabbit though. Seems like a big drop in quality compared to what we've been previously getting.

Really? That games received a lot of praise so far and it looks beautiful.

That makes the list half as good.
Looks like a Flash game to me. :/
At what point did everyone decide that motion-tweened animation is beautiful? I hear it all the time, but I just don't see it.
Its a brand new game so that makes up for not being a retail title

The fact that it will be brand new makes it worth it. The games of the month so far have either been new or over a year old and popular but very high quality.

I wonder if the NA release of Machinarium is far behind EU's date.
Ordinarily I'd agree, but this really doesn't look great.
I'd much sooner have something like Walking Dead 1 & 2. That's probably worth more also.
It's your save game data + profile data if the game uses that. The 4 Assassin's Creed games for example use up a total of almost 18MB combined because of save + profile data. Hell, Beyond Good & Evil HD uses more than 8MB per save game and that's not even looking at something stupid like what Afrika uses. 150MB is nothing.
