News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

I've recently joined PlayStation Plus, therefore I'm actually paying attention to the monthly deals. This April looks incredible. Members of Sony's premium service have all sorts of downloadable goodness heading their way. Fans of shooters will be granted early access to the Ghost Recon Future Soldier beta. Action game aficionados will get Shank 2 for FREE. Racing fans will be able to pick up Shift 2: Unleashed for the low, low price of zero dollars. There's a little something for everyone.

Plus members will see an assortment of games, avatars, themes, minis, and full game trials. Notable co-op games available for the trial treatment include Saints Row: The Third, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, and The Cursed Crusade. There's even an early demo for House of the Dead 4, so I can finally use my PS Move Shooting Attachments. Oh, happy day!

PS is such a good deal and I sometimes wonder why Sony offers it. I buy less PSN content than I normally would because there is a good chance I will get it for free down the road.

Ghost Recon Beta! That game has been a long time coming.

PS is a great value. The last few months have been excellent for Plus freebies (Far Cry 2, The Simpsons...) I have been waiting for a discount on Episodes from Liberty City, and soon it will be mine.

Yeah, there's been plenty of games I've purchased that have eventually gone free, which made me sad. I am definitely a lot less likely to purchase downloadable games now unless they are something that I'm really looking forward to. Either it goes free or gets a hefty discount within a few months of release.

I'm looking forward to Shank 2. Loved the first and held off on the second waiting for a 50% discount, but free is definitely better!

They also posted a huge UBI sale on Tom Clancy titles this week. GRAW2 $5, R6V $5, R6V2 $9 and all of the others are $5-10.

I think my Plus membership paid for itself in about a month. Pretty smooth deal if you own a PS3.

Silent Hill! Woah...i can finally play it. I should get the HD collection afterwards.

I mean sure, they'll be free, but only for a month. Just wait for the discounts.

I can see why you're complaining, if say, you have the 1-year membership.

Aracnox - they are free as long as you continue to subscribe to ps plus. You just have one month to download the game.
