It’s starting to happen. PlayStation Plus subscribers are finally getting more than just pushed content they may or may not actually want. PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap will be available to (US) PlayStation Plusites a full two weeks before their mere mortal PSN user counterparts from tomorrow. Subscribers to the book/digital club will also get 25% off the price of the game. ($6.99)
Don’t worry, there’s still some good news for all. Existing Racers owners will be able to avail of this new download for the grand old price of nada. Can’t argue with that.
No news of this scenario extending to Europe, but we’ll drop Q-Games’ Dylan Cuthbert a mail and see if he can comment at this point.
PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap adds trophies, leader-boards and a ghost-car, as well as a whole new difficulty setting. Even more good news is that it does not overwrite your existing version. Happy days for all the masochists out there who prefer the more gruelling of racing punishments and want to stick with the original version.
Here’s a look at what’s coming:
Update: Dylan has got back to us and stated: “I haven’t heard anything yet about Europe PS+.” Note the word “yet”. Fingers crossed.

I do hope we end up getting it early/at discount, I love the original.

I’m tempted by this. It reminds me of Super Sprint which was always fun. :)
