Hi everyone! It’s that time of the month again where we update you on all the new PlayStation Plus updates coming your way in March.
There are three new PS3 game and two for PS Vita in the line-up for March, as well as awesome titles such as F1 Race Stars, Quantum Conundrum and Wipeout 2048 that are already available.
Coming soon on PlayStation 3
We are very happy to announce that as of 6th March, for one month only, you can download acclaimed action RPG Mass Effect 3 as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription!
Developed by the very talented team at Bioware, this title completes the franchise in stunning form. The game plunges you into an all-out galactic war to take back earth from a terrifying enemy. It’s truly a first class RPG experience so make sure you check it out.
And if that’s not enough Mass Effect action for you, we’ve teamed up with our friends at publisher EA to offer great discounts on both Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, for both Plus members and standard users. We’ll confirm details shortly.
Also dropping into the service on 6th March is the beautifully designed fighter Dead or Alive 5 from Tecmo Koei.
Featuring a range of game modes, the game picks up two years after the destruction of the tri- tower – headquarters and symbol of DOATEC. Helena Douglas has begun the task of rebuilding DOATEC, this time with the aim of using its technology for peaceful ends. Now in the same position once held by her father, Helena has announced that she intends to hold the fifth Dead or Alive tournament.
Your final PS3 offering for the month is the incredibly fun Joe Danger 2: The Movie. Picking up where the chart-topping, award-winning original left off, JD2 takes the world’s most determined stuntman to Hollywood. You’ll have to out run an avalanche as a skiing secret agent, take on laser spewing robots whilst flying a jetpack, or even become a water-skiing, sky-diving, quad-biking, dinosaur-dodging jungle adventurer.
Coming soon on PS Vita
First up for PS Vita on 13th March is Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. Bundling together the second and third games in Hideo Kojima’s beloved series, this is surely the definitive handheld Metal Gear experience, boasting well over 30 hours of gameplay.
And last but certainly not least, on 20th March addictive puzzle platform title Puddle will join the PS Vita service. Conserve as much liquid as possible when crossing a variety of obstacles such as burning passageways, carnivorous plants and electric currents as you guide a puddle of fluid through 49 levels using the system’s rear touch pad and tilt functionality.
As usual, over the coming weeks you can also expect exclusive PS Plus discounts on lots of other products, including discounts on Dead or Alive 5 and Big Sky Infinity DLC. From 27th February we also have a 40% discount on the brilliant Far Cry 3 courtesy of our friends at Ubisoft, and we’ll also be offering you the Dust 514 Starter Pack DLC for free for two weeks! We’ll update you on these offers and more in the weekly Store posts.
In summary
Leaving PS Plus in March:
- 6th March: Sleeping Dogs

Remember, if you’ve not got access to your PS3 or PS Vita then you can also buy through our online store.

Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:21 pm by Chris Howe
We are looking at this title for various reasons but it might be quite difficult to strike a deal, but we will see

Will there be a discount of ME3 DLC?
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:21 pm by Chris Howe
No at the moment there is no discount for ME3 DLC I am afraid
11
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:06 pm by kivi95
No discount on Mass Effect 1?
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:21 pm by Chris Howe
No we were not able to secure a discount on ME1
12
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:06 pm by PFC_Hudson
Wow! Mas Effect 3 (PS3) & Metal Gear HD (Vita). I dodged a bullet there as those were 2 games I very nearly bought recently
PS+ has saved me a fortune lately
Cheers guys!

Mostly titles I already own. Dang, just signed up for three months of Plus as well.
“First up for PS Vita on 13th March is Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.”
Just requesting that you make the HD Collection and each separate title available for download for people who own one but not the other so they don’t have to redownload both (as the HD Collection is one big package).
“And if that’s not enough Mass Effect action for you, we’ve teamed up with our friends at publisher EA to offer great discounts on both Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, for both Plus members and standard users.”
Shouldn’t this be Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2?
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:23 pm by Chris Howe
These discounts are not just for Plus members they are for all PSN users so it gives them the opportunity to purchase ME2 and ME3 at a discounted price.
As above unfortuantely we were not able to secure a discount on ME1

Huge month, haven’t played any of these!
15
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:07 pm by Jamesyp00
If you can snag some massive discounts on ME2 and ME1 digitally then i may trade in my boxed ones.
DoA 5 is one of those games iv’e been eyeing up for a while and never bought, pretty awesome to have it on this.
Can’t wait for my new 500gb ps3 in march now to fill with all this
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:24 pm by Chris Howe
There will be a discount on ME2 from the 6th March for 1 week only…more details to come

Geez, what a month! Will Resistance Burning Skies be joining PS+ anytime soon or am I safe to buy it without worry?
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:26 pm by Chris Howe
We have no immediate plans for Resistance Burning Skies for Plus

I am extremely excited for Joe Danger and MGS collection. However I literally bought mass effect 3 last week and haven’t had time to play it yet. However does mass effect 3 come with the online pass because if it does then that’s not too bad as I bought it second hand.

Two amazing months in a row!
Is there any chance Australia will get Mortal Kombat for the PS3 and Vita on PS+ now that it has been classified? The other regions can get Gotham City Imposters and LEGO Batman to be fair – win, win for all!
19
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:11 pm by TT-2k
Okay… I was hoping for a good month but this is probably the best month EVER – and I’ve been Plus member since day 1. 5/5 stars for this blog post! Heck, I’d give even more if it was possible.

Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:11 pm by Ryazaki
Why not PS3 version of MGS HD Collection? -.-
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:28 pm by Chris Howe
Because we want to bring you different titles on the different platforms
21
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:11 pm by pinkplaybunny
Ah well I have Mass Effect 3, but it is truely awesome for anyone that doesn’t have it yet. Will Mass Effect 1 be given any discount? I would also pick up Omega if discounted as i thought it a bit expensive and i believe there is a new single player dlc due out soon.
I’d like to try Joe Danger so thats good to get and i never played the original Metal gear games so will look forward to putting my vita to good use there.
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:29 pm by Chris Howe
as above, there will not be a discount on ME1
22
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:12 pm by Nightmare966
How do you keep this going on!? The awesome sales, the awesome IGC. I’m serious when I say I’m going to have a gaming meltdown lol
It’s certainly an awesome month, just as Fred said. Props to you Chris, this keeps getting better and better and every month I feel like it’s my birthday

Wow. Just wow.
Amazing job, guys!

Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:14 pm by cosmic_uk
Chris, your link to MGS Collection is for the PS3 version (includes 3 games, not the Vita’s 2).
You need to link this
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-gb/games/metal-gear-solid-hd-collection-ps-vita/cid=EP0101-PCSB00118_00-MGSHDVITA0000000
You’re welcome

This will be really good month. Good job!

Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:15 pm by kivi95
Is it possible for you to bring God Of War collection volume 2 for April? I mean it would make sense as God of War:Ascension is releasing soon.
29
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:15 pm by NikeJustDoItNike
Wish MGS HD collection was for PS3.
30
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:16 pm by TheArmedSackboy
Awesome, haven’t got any of these. Been wanting ME3 for a while, and DOA is neat. Joe Danger isn’t as… exciting for me but I’ll certainly give it a try.
Just wondering, will we get the Final Fantasy discounts like NA got last month? I wanna get FF VI… and possibly VII.
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:34 pm by Chris Howe
we had a Final Fantasy sale a few weeks back where both those titles were included so they will not be on sale anytime soon I’m afraid

Dear Chris,
This is a surprise after surprise (PS4 announcement). As someone said one of the best month.
One question though. My PS+ is soon expiring and I’m planning to subscribe for 1year subscription ( plus 3 months free) but my only concern is If this will be carried forward to PS4 or not.
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:35 pm by Chris Howe
We do not have any details around that side of things yet but you don’t have to worry about your Plus subscription
32
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:16 pm by hilts663
Chris you are so much better then the previous what-is-his-name PS+ guy
33
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:16 pm by Golwar
It shouldn’t have surprised me that the first RPG via Plus is the most “shooterish” one, that exists.
But really an amazing content. The Fighter genre isn’t really mine, but for some (dirty) reason I might give DoA a try, haha.
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:37 pm by Chris Howe
The great thing about DoA is that it has a story too so not just a typical fighter. Its also coming out on VITA very soon with cross play functionality
34
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:17 pm by Nerrad77
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for PS3, please. Feeling a bit short changed as a long time Plus member – best stuff going to Vita
35
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:17 pm by dsluckay
Why does the EU PS+ get great retail games for free such as Mass Effect 3, the MGS Collection and Dead or Alive 5 while the US PS+ gets small PSN games that no one has heard about?
36
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:17 pm by NostrobotUK
Please guys, PLEASE, can you add the rest of the EU countries to the store? It really hurts to see that everyone can enjoy PSPlus except us! Please
By the way, I am from Malta.
37
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:17 pm by Nemeth050506
Best PS+ Update ever
38
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:18 pm by MonkeyBrainsToo
WOW, second month in a row that I don’t already have any of the content. I have also just bought a Vita, so plenty to keep me going here. Thanks guys.
39
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:18 pm by CloudBelmont
Holy! MGS and Dead Or Alive? Awesome job Sony. Keep this best things for PS4!!!

Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:18 pm by Taehu
Oh my, oh my, oh my. Really tasty goodies there. To be honest, almost the only ones I considered buying recently, especially MGS (as I look at it now, it’s actually good it wasn’t discounted for Vita birthday, cause I’d buy it back then).
But a couple of questions – will there be discounts for DLC as well? And as some people mentioned, shouldn’t it be about discounts for ME 1 & 2 (instead of 2 and 3)?
Now the only thing left for me is to pray that Mass Effect 3 will be full English version (can anyone check it/confirm it?), because if it’s something like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I’m going to cry. Really, really hard (polish versions are like… Bad. Very bad. Or even worse. Sometimes 5 year old kid could do better with Google Translate)
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:40 pm by Chris Howe
As above there will not be any discounts on the ME3 DLC I am afraid but there will be discounts on a couple of packs for Dead or Alive 5.
The discounts for Mass Effect are correct, there will nto be a discount on ME1 but the discounts for ME2 and 3 and not just for Plus they are for all
41
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:18 pm by ocelot07
Brill I have Mass Effect 3 and MGS HD but I can sell them both now.
42
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:18 pm by yaureUK
wow, this month is as amazing as last month!
43
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:18 pm by AshesArise
Shame it wasnt mass effect 1, ive only ever played half of that. The rest aint really my taste, guess ill have to wait until april.
44
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:19 pm by S-o-h-a-i-l
Great update !
Can we please have Okami HD & Raganork Odysee considered for next month Chris ?
45
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:19 pm by Everton4life
That right there is why I am a PS+ subscriber. Will be busy next month with my downloads. Outstanding.

PS+? Best money I ever spent gaming related! Bravo!

Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:23 pm by NostrobotUK
Continuing what I said in message #36:
The PS3 has been out for seven years now, and a lot of EU PlayStation fans, from countries who do not have access sto the store who are still not able to use PSN Store / PSN Plus legitimately (without making a fake account). This means that:
1. We cannot make use of DLC that comes included with games we buy
2. We cannot buy additional game DLC
3. We cannot buy games that are released only in the PSN Store
4. We cannot make use of the PSN Plus service which is excellent
When will you add the rest of the EU countries to the PSN Store, if at all? Please, let’s get rid to the “Sorry but this service is not available to your country or region” once for all.
A reply would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:41 pm by Chris Howe
I will speak to the store team and see if there are any plans for more countries to be added in the near future

Posted on 22 February, 2013 at 1:26 pm by thezooniverse
