PlayStation Plus official blog

So only BioShock 2 added to the instant game collection so far. Hopefully there'll be more to come in the coming weeks.

I have a feeling there will be more. A while back they had a poll on the playstation blog and the results seemed to indicate that readers wanted weekly posts about what was new for plus instead of monthly posts. Also, I thought RE5 expires tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it does.

It already is a weekly post. They post every Monday about what is new for the week. What people wanted was a post at the start of the month telling what will be available that month, AND a weekly reminder. The poll is at the bottom of this blog post.

So when things expire you can never play them again. If I signed up in 2 days I couldn't then play RE5, not that I would but is that correct?

@Nightriff: I don't think I get what you're saying. Once you get a free game, it's yours as long as you are subscribed. What's expiring is its status as "free" from the PSN Store.

@FluxWaveZ: So if I signed up today I could get "x" game, if it expires tomorrow and I sign up the next day i will not be able to get "x" game. Now I understand how PS+ works...I think. Thanks Fluxwavez

The Brits got the better line up this month.

They got everything announced at once, though. We don't know what's coming next for North America.

On the blog, the PR dude states:

Stay tuned to these updates throughout the month, and I think you’ll find that we’ll have plenty of content to match EU this December!

@FluxWaveZ: We'll see then, but as it stands right now I'd rather Batman:AC, Vanquish or Limbo over Bioshock 2.

Aww evil automatic resub is screwing me, I actually own Bioshock 2 (though who knows if I'll ever take it out of the shrinkwrap). RE5 is at least pretty fun to play through with default weapons to unlock the DLC and Mercenaries Reunion.

I never did get to play through Minerva's Den. Maybe I should download Bioshock 2 and then buy it.

Yeah, I think that's the only reason I'll bother downloading BioShock 2. I've heard some good things about that DLC.

I'd really love it if they gave us calender of what is coming out each week. I'm kind of an impatient person so I get anxious waiting until Monday to see what's coming out that week.

I already played through Bioshock 2 on PC and didn't really care for it so PS+ is kind of a bust for me this week. Knowing that we're getting another full game (I assume that's the case since they say we'll have plenty to match EU this month) gives me hope.

It kinda sucks that I re-bought SSF4AE for the PS3 2 weeks ago... Oh well at least I don't have to put the disc in anymore lol.

Yeah, this is one the first "Aw, I just bought that like a month ago" moments I've had with Plus, most of the time the stuff I already own is pretty minor. Not too stoked about Rochard, but its something.

I downloaded Bioshock 2, but I haven't even played the first one yet. I've heard they're only loosely connected so I'm curious if this could be like a Terminator 2 - Terminator 1 situation, where you might feel different about them depending what order you saw them but you still get the same kick out of it.

Pretty much this.

Super Street Fighter 4 is 18 gigs; kind of enormous especially considering King of Fighters is like 2.5, and really in general the only games I can think of that large are MGS4 and MMOs.

Huge is right. I can't believe it's that big.

EU gets Vanquish? I need to relocate; I've been wanting that one for a while.

All these games are free? Jesus christ PS+ is nuts!

SSFIV just finished downloading. Now I have to play it.

Infamous 2 is 15 gigs, believe it or not. I guess PS3 has the advantage of no compression.

@IrrelevantJohn: Yeah 15 gigs is around the high end for standard games; believe Witcher 2 is around that. But 15 is not 18 and Infamous 2 is a large open world game; Street Fighter is a fighting game with limited assets, how many graphics could they possibly be stacking on a 2.5D screen at once, it's not UMVC3 with all of that weirdness so I'm just curious what makes it so enormous.

@Fredchuckdave: The Steam version of the game is 9GB, so it might have something to do with optimization?

I think I finally get PS+ its like a cable subscription when you get to watch movies for free a while after they came out. tempted to get a Vita just so I can get PS+, but does anyone know if you can store psp vita games on your PC so you can easily transfer them

@Bourbon_Warrior: You have to download the games to the Vita or a PS3, but you can back them up to a PC from the Vita using the Content Manager application.

That's awesome. Never played BioShock 2 and should be good to catch up on it before Infinite.

@Fredchuckdave: Well Skyrim is a large open world game but can you explain why it can all fit in one 360 disc?

Awesome, was going to grab uncharted with the PSP Vita but saw you can get it on Plus so it's really a no-brainer to get it. Does the PSP Vita have any inbuilt storage? How many GB's is Uncharted?

@Bourbon_Warrior: Keep in mind too that you don't have to keep your free games on your Vita or PS3 if space is a concern. You can just click "purchase," cancel the download, then download them whenever you want (as long as your PS+ membership is still active, of course).

@Bourbon_Warrior: No, the only internal storage on the Vita is for the OS, so you'll need a memory card. Most bundles include a 4 GB one however. And Uncharted: Golden Abyss requires 3.3 GB says the PSN store.

Can someone please tell me why it won't let me download the 18 GB SSFIV, saying "There is not enough free space on the system storage", when I have 30 GB free?

@FluxWaveZ said:

Well it needs 18GB for the file itself and then it needs to install that 18GB game so, 18 +18 = 36GB required. After the installation it will free 18GB of the 36GB being used during that process.

Start deleting shit.

Aw, what the fuck. I deleted all I wanted to, but now I'll have to delete things I'll need to get back. Pain in the ass.

So this game I've never heard of is the free game for this week:

Also, the "Holiday Essential Sale" has started. There are some good deals in there:

Glad I'm not the only one who has never heard of it. I feel like for me to not know about a game it needs to be big enough to not be indie and small enough to not have a PR/marketing plan.

This month is not that bad, Retro City Rampage is now on the Instant Game Collection.

Eh, I was kinda expecting a bit more. The discounts are cool, though.
