Gone last week I believe. Or maybe this week. Think you just missed it.

I'm not sure if you guys are still doing the trophy thing, but MLB 13 Home Run Derby Edition has 4 easy trophies. Three of them are gold which have you hit a homerun in left, center, and right field. It's free on the PSN store.

Thanks for the heads up. Last I saw they wanted 4.99 or 5.99 for it.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

None of the pre-order games were released at midnight. We'll have to wait later today for them.


News found:

If you were planning to get Tomb Raider on sale later today for $22.49/✚$20.24, be aware that Amazon is selling the Bluray version of it for $20 right now as well. This may be a better deal for you, depending on whether or not you care about the extras in the PSN bundle or you have to pay state tax and shipping on Amazon orders.

Heads up:
The upcoming Vita game BreakQuest: Extra Evolution is a "freemium" game. According to them, you can only use 33 balls in the free version. After that you'll have to buy more balls, or pay $6.99 for infinite balls, which is similar to paying for a full version. Unless those 33 balls can be given back after a set amount of time, this sounds more like a demo + unlock game, except for temporary balls available at a cheaper price.
This game is already out in the EU region. Can anyone with an EU account confirm all that?

The free PS+ games for September in the EU region will be revealed next week.
Hotline Miami will not be one of the free September PS+ games.

For PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, the third set of costumes for Dante, Raiden, Heihachi, and Big Daddy will be available as a free download on August 27 in the NA region, next day August 28 in the EU region.
Also coming as a free download are Zeus and Issac's third costumes, coming this fall along with the upcoming balance patch.

The Vita AR puzzle game Open Me! will come out this week in the EU region.

Download version of Killer is Dead "won't be too far behind" says someone from XSeed on PS Blog.

Puppeteer + Theatrical Pack is available for pre-order in the EU region for £24.99/€39.99/AU$49.95, to be released on September 10/11/13, depending on where you live. The bundle included the game, soundtrack, dynamic theme, and 3 avatars.

Devolver Digital teased a Vita version of Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition on Twitter.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Anyone have any suggestions on any good f2p MMOesque type games on PS3?

Other than DCUO (already have that and dont really want to get insanely caught up in it again).

Are there even any other multiplayer games that are f2p on the PS3?

I have this blazing fast connection now and I want to download some games and try them out.

[Eton Rifles]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

maybe try Dust 514?

[Boltman]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

maybe try Dust 514?

Yea I'm definitely gonna give it a go, downloading it tomorrow.

Thanks.

[Phobia]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Hey guys, check it out.

I threw my 360 up on eBay to sell. I had a broken PS3 in my closest which had a bad hard drive. I then had a broken laptop. I pulled the 40gig hard drive out the laptop last night, threw it in the PS3, reformatted the drive and BAM free working PS3.

I did this because since I'm going PS4 in November, I don't want to carry two online subscriptions like Xbox Live Gold and PS+. This way I have a PS+ subscription and it works with both PS3 and PS4.

So my question is this.

What free games will I have access today if I open a PS+ subscription?? Is it these games only?

[mestevo]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Yeah, and they're continually added/subtracted. September is kind of a dud to me unless they add more.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/29/playstation-plus-septembers-instant-game-collection/

For September, Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection is leading the charge, so you can break out your PlayStation Move Controllers (yes, regular controllers work too) and start destroying zombies. Later this month you’ll get the HD-remastered version of iconic PS2 classic ICO, one of Rockstar’s awesome portable versions of Grand Theft Auto (in this case, GTA: Liberty City Stories), Ubisoft’s loveable platformer Rayman Origins for PS Vita and the classic arcade shooter Galaga Legions DX.

[Trapper700]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Those September games are pretty good. Rayman Origins might be the best game on Vita that's not P4G, and Ico is a classic.
