Hi Guys, I’m pleased to tell you that today sees the start of the biggest Plus month yet in terms of the content on offer. Check it all out below and, including the mid month treats, this is by far the highest value and newest content we have offered in one month.
In April alone the content and discounts are worth around a whopping £67, that’s almost the value of 2 years Plus membership, in just one month! And that’s not all; over half of that value is related to brand new content.
And that’s not all: because we wanted to truly make this the biggest month ever on Plus, we are bringing back the 15 month for the price of 12 offer for this month only*. You won’t miss out on this if you are an existing member because we have enabled subscription stacking, so you can buy a new subscription before your current one ends. When you purchase your new Plus subscription, you will be charged immediately but your existing subscription will continue till the end of its current period and then lapse. Your new subscription will take over and will renew in accordance with the Terms of Service and User Agreement.
Before I cover off the content list, I just wanted to let you know a couple of the extra special pieces of content this month.
First of all, you have been asking for discounts on new content; well how’s this? 100% off a fantastic, brand new game – Red Faction: Battlefields. This is the one of the biggest games we have given away in Plus so make the most of it!
Sticking with new games, we have also managed to secure a special deal with Ubisoft during April and May. Plus members are getting exclusive day one discounts on three brand new Ubisoft titles – Clash of Heroes, Outland and Beyond Good & Evil. Clash of Heroes hits the Store on the 14th April, Outland on the 28th and Beyond Good & Evil in May.
Also, as you may have seen a few weeks back, the limited release inFAMOUS 2 UGC beta will be coming exclusively to PS Plus on 12th April. See more details elsewhere on PlayStation.Blog.
Here’s the list of content that is available to Plus members from April 6th – May 4th:
PSN:
- Red Factions: Battlegrounds – Brand New title at no extra cost.
- Sonic The Hedgehog 2 – brand new and two weeks exclusive to Plus.
PS One:
- Prince of Persia Classic
- Creatures 3: Raised in Space

*brand new minis and 2 weeks exclusive for Plus*
Exclusive Discounts:

- Precipice of Darkness Episodes 1 &2 – 75%
- Dungeon Hunter: Alliance – 25% (ends on 20th April)
- MotorStorm Apocalypse: Supercar Elite – 20% (13 – 27 April)
- Outland – 20% Day 1 discount (from 28th April – 4th May)
- PlayTV Live Chat – 25% off – valid until 6th July 2011
Game Add-ons:
- Killzone3: Steel Rain pack
Beta Trial:
- inFAMOUS 2 UGC beta: Emails, containing voucher codes to download the beta from the Store will be sent to selected PS Plus users on 12th April and again on 19th. Users have been selected based on a few criteria including what inFamous trophies they achieved in the original game.
Please remember that not all of you will be able to access the beta at this time, though we will try and open it up as wide as possible – as soon as possible. Also, the beta will be in English only at this stage.
Dynamic themes:
- Exclusive Growing Garden Theme
- Exclusive Abstract Art Theme
Premium Avatars:
- MotorStorm Apocalypse Burning Avatar
- MotorStorm Apocalypse Urban Avatar
And here is some of what you can expect to see from 4th May – June 1st:
PSN:
- Streets of Rage 2
PS One:

minis:
- Babel, the King of the Blocks
- The 2D Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character – brand new minis and 2 weeks exclusive for Plus.
Full Game Trial:

- Beyond Good & Evil – 20%
- PlayTV Live Chat – 25% off – valid until 6th July 2011
Dynamic themes:
- Exclusive City Dynamic Theme

There will of course be more content and discounts in May, plus the usual mid month treats to make sure there is plenty to keep you busy.
Hopefully you will enjoy all this content; as always we have been basing the content on your requests and also trying to get you as much new content as possible. There is plenty more to come.
*This Offer is available between 6/04/2011 and 3/05/2011. You need to be aged 18 or over and resident in a participating country. Full Terms and Conditions can be found at eu.playstation.com/legal.

doesn’t this version of sonic 2 have online multiplayer? i’m sure i read that somewhere, on this very blog possibly.
great content this month, just one thing that looks inaccurate, the prince of persia game doesn’t seem to be a ps1 game, as it is listed, but an actual ps3 version.
not that i’m complaining mind.
i’m so looking forward to streets of rage next month, one of my all time favourite games, of all time. ^_^
funny thing, i just started playing infamous again yesterday.
i’m hoping i get a beta code because that creator thing looks really cool.

Well that’s just f… up… I thought we plus users were going to have access to exclusive Beta’s, and now I read that’s even exclusive to those who’ve gain certain InFamous trophies and will be selected. Yeah my arse … I never get selected by SCEE ^x^
Other then that, great update! Except ass kick those retarded hackers so I can have access again to PSN

Prince of Persia Classic isn’t a PSOne title.

Day 1 discounts are really cool, but it really helps if they have a day one demo, because even a discounted purchase is a waste if you do not like the game. I’ve been stung too many times by games that didn’t live up to how they seemed from videos.
Maybe hold off on these Plus exclusive discounts until games get demos?
Oh, and Siren Blood Curse for a PSN game suggestion. All chapters please.

Also gonna have to make a complaint about the beta access. Beta access without needing hunt for codes was a big draw to Plus for me, I was a bit concerned though since beta sizes are limited usually and as the Plus membership grows surely how could everyone keep being included?
…and now that fear is a reality, new beta and too many Plus members so it is a draw, this is not what I agreed to when joining Plus.

Like the way the infamous developers have picked the chosen beta players based on logical criteria i.e. trophies. It just makes sense.
I have the plat, cause it`s just a great game. Hope my plat gets me in. Also an editor nut – 16 maps made on farcry 2.

a big update, Yes
A good Update. For some
just had the unfortunate experience of trying to play red faction online. Gave up after 15 minutes of searching for a game, finding out the game no longer exists or waiting in a lobby for the game to start.
Uninstalled straight away. As for the rest of the plus ” freebies” they won’t be downloaded.
don’t think i will extend my subscription as i mentioned above, the content is vast and really good for most/some folk but it just hasn’t been good for me and Im not fussy gamer I own over 50 games. the content just hasn’t been to my taste.
would like to see discounts on some of the add on pack for the big shooters. Black ops. Battlefield or medal of honor.

Please James could you help me with a question I have ? I saw that the criteria to select winners for the inFAMOUS 2 Beta is based on getting some specific trophies…I have only subscribed to Plus 2 days ago, but I have the Platinum Trophy for a long time now. Do I still get the chance to be selected, or is the selection process over, as of now ?

I haven’t heard anything of the inFamous 2 beta in a while. I got platinum too for inFamous like most everyone else, still think its one of the best games out for PS3, despite being older now. Just thought I’d put a mention out for myself, lol. Don’t want to go under the radar for a second wave of codes. Also does anyone know the full list of criteria for selection in the beta, or, is it basically rumoured speculation?

Posted on 18 April, 2011 at 3:59 pm by DeathAngelLU12
Can I request Metal Gear Solid or the Final Fantasy games as possible PS1 classics? And is Sonic 06 with trophy support still on the horizon James? I was actually kinda let down with it being replaced by Sonic 1 for March’s content so I’m hoping it’s still a possibiility. Anyhoo, some nice content there, enjoying the Red Faction Battlegrounds and looking forward to anything you have planned in the future!
