The mountainous array of free PlayStation Plus goodness is now live in Europe for your downloading delights. Phone your ISP and tell them to turn your knob up to 11.
Well, free if you’re a Plus subscribers, but for a few quid a month you’re getting access to some seriously top tier games – LittleBigPlanet 2 is massive, but there’s loads of good stuff if you’ve already got Sackboy’s second PS3 adventure.
What else is there? We’ll tell you.
- Game of the month: Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. This’ll be rotated out at the end of the month.
- Games catalogue: Warhammer 40,000, Chime Super Deluxe, Darksiders, Renegade Ops, Outland, Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath HD. Warhammer and Chime will vanish mid July, Darksiders and Renegade Ops the month after and the last two in September. Each time two games go, another two will appear.
- Always available: inFamous 2, MotorStorm Apocalypse, LittleBigPlanet 2. These will remain constant over the year.
Suitably epic, we’re sure you’ll agree. Unless you’ve already got everything, in which case you can delete it all, throw your Blu-rays in a bonfire and download it all again. If that’s not a hidden treat you weren’t expecting on a Wednesday then you’re no friend of ours.

Anyone know if the disc based games and the download games share the same SKU?
Will games saves from one work on the other? I know it didn’t work like that for Infamous1 when I got that for free as a download.

downloading now, just reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllly slowly. ^_^
i guess the download servers are getting hammered right now.
i just wish i had space for all of the games instead of just a few.
they’re all on my download list now though so i can download them later.
i really need a bigger hard drive.

I only had Outland on the HDD.
The other 9 games? About 51GB. I’ll see them sometime around Christmas.

motorstorm and renegade ops have downloaded but still got the rest to go. its going to be an all nighter i think.

i didn’t think sony would ever convince me to sign up for plus in a million years.
downloading all the games right now. i used to have LBP2 and i regret trading it in, so i’m glad i get a chance to play it again.
i don’t have enough space on my HD like everyone else, i guess it’s time to install ME2 and DCUO…
good thing they stay on the download list so you can just swap games out when your done..too bad they don’t have a sorting system. =/

This is actually a really good point that I think a lot of people miss, so I’ll shout it for fellow TSA’ers.
**** IMPORTANT TIP ****
Even though some of these games will disappear in a month (or two or three) you don’t have to download them all to your HDD now in order to not miss out.
So long as you have started the download once, the game (or DLC or whatever) will always be in your download list (on the PS Store) and can be re-downloaded later, even if you cancelled the download immediately after starting it.
SO… for those of you PLUS’ers tight on HDD space or monthly download quota – just start the download of one of these games, wait for the download to start, then cancel. Rinse repeat for everything on the list. Now check your download list and you should see them all in there ready for you to download at your leisure in future.
**** END IMPORTANT TIP ;) ****

Well highlighted – was about to do the same myself but you’ve beaten me to it.

You don’t even have to start the download. As long as you add it to your basket and ‘buy’ the items you can download them at a later date. Even if you let your sub run out and start it up later.

next gen sony really need to have content ready to run as soon as you download it.
small stuff is annoying to install, but taking twenty minutes + to install multi gigabyte files is just ridiculous.

the space marine install was at 7% when i wrote that.
nearly half an hour later it’s on 63%
infamous 3’ll be out before i get infamous 2 installed. O_O
hazelam
finally, after an hour, it’s finished.
thank god for the install then shutdown option, because i think i’m probably going to have to leave infamous installing overnight, of course it’s got to finish downloading first.

Your download speeds must be quite good! I’ve managed in about 3 hours to download 44% of Space Marines.

Lbp2, virtua fighter, warhammer, outland, apocalypse (I traded it) darksiders (worth a revisit) KER-CHING… LOVE PS+
Sitorimon
I have all the ones I wanted already but I agree this is fantastic. May grab strangers wrath though. I really like to actually buy my games though so that when the ps4 kicks in, I still have my games should the psn work differently.

So glad that PS Plus have some epic free games now! However i only have a 120GB HDD and it’s almost full, to make it worse i’m a bum and have no money to upgrade it :(
