We mentioned it when the US blog announced the deal and people started yelling about the yanks getting preferential treatment. We asked Dylan himself and he frankly wasn’t sure. Well, rest assured people, EU PS+ users will also be getting access to PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap a full two weeks before it’s available to all. Just like our American friends. There, equality. Isn’t it great?
Here’s the official update from our good friend Mike over on the EU blog.
“UPDATE: I’ve just been given the information about a new addition for PlayStation Plus today; Plus subscribers will have two week’s early access to PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap and have a 20% discount on it, too. However, if you already own PixelJunk Racers then 2nd Lap is free.”
You may put down your pitch-forks and stop eying US cities maniacally, dreams of conquest and glory duly quelled … for now.

So does this include the first game? Or if we buy it is it a stand-alone package? Would I be better buying the first one and getting the update or doesn’t it work like that? I’m a little confused.

It’s a standalone thing that comes up as free if you have the first one on your system. I presume they have something in place that tells them when you originally purchased the first one which means that any bought today or later won’t count for the freeness. Maybe. I dunno.
