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
- 6th March: Vanquish
- 6th March: LIMBO
- 13th March: Wipeout 2048
- 20th March: Lumines Electronic Symphony

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

To subscribe EU plus without an EU credit card, you just need to create an EU account, and buy a membership card to redeem. You can find those membership cards on ebay (search for “ps plus eu”). Make sure you pick up the right country so the games are in English. UK is a safe choice

Typical. Gamer’s that actually support developers by, y’know, actually buying their games get sweet eff all once again.
Might start never buying PS3&PS4 games EVER, and get them relatively free with PS+.
Any chance you might support the “Core” gamer for a change instead of casuals who buy four games a year? PS+ is absolutely useless for people like me, and a total waste of money. There hasn’t been one single game Plus have made available that I have already got.
It’s always been Sony’s attitude. Screw te core gamer because we get their money anyway. So let’s reward the casuals and tweens who never spend anything. Crazy.

Chris or Fred i found this in the saudi store :
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-sa/games/binary-domain/cid=EP0177-NPEB00915_00-BINARYDOMAINPSN1
is this a glitch or our Sep GOTM ?…..thx
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 9:54 am by Chris Howe
Binary Domain has been placed on the Saudi store as a replacement title for missing the Sep GOTM

Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 9:02 am by MASPALOMAZ
absolutely great update!!!!
can i download the Mass Effect 3 trial/1 hour version already now and then just “unlock” it on Feb 6 ? Or would it be a better idea to download the full 13 GB on Feb 6?
Thanks for this geat february update and I agree dishonoured would also be amazing in a future plus update.
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 9:55 am by Chris Howe
You can download the trial but sometimes you can experience techinical difficulties with unlocking the rest of the game so my suggestion would be to wai until March 6th and download it

Chris, where can we make store search suggestions, such as being able to filter the store by publisher, say I only want to look for NIS America or Atlus published games?
The genre tagging leaves a lot to be desired. Persona 4 Golden isn’t listed as an RPG, for instance O.O

@Chris Howe
Could I get an answer to some of the question I asked on page 4.
I’m asking on behalf of a community so it would be nice to have any good news for them. Specifically regarding PSX releases.
Thanks

Hi guys, first up, a great update to the service. After Sleeping Dogs last month I convinced a couple of friends to sign up, and seeing all the vita games build up on my account, I got a Vita over the weekend!
One question about Vita games… A lot of the decent back catalog of Vita games has already been on the service, and the upcoming releases are not exactly numerous. Are we likely to see less popular Vita games coming to the service, or will we see newer games turn up than on PS3.
I would LOVE to see Persona 4 Golden on the service!
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 3:23 pm by Chris Howe
We still have plenty of VITA games available to us that are excellent quality
We would all like to see Persona 4 Golden on Plus but its unlikely anytime soon I would imagine

Scumbag PSN users.
You sell games – hey, the games are overpriced!
You just give games away – hey, you don’t support ‘hardcore’ gamers!
Sony, you just can’t win..
I, as for one, am really excited about february and march.
311
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 12:14 pm by horizoNiki
I purchased Vanquish and Sleeping Dogs via Plus membership, will they leave my game collection and get deleted from my PS3 after they leave PS Plus in march?
312
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 12:29 pm by morg106
@311
No.
313
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 12:45 pm by GreenCOD
@horizoNiki – No. Games won’t leave as long as you purchase them while they were free. You don’t have to download and install them just purchase (add to download list) and they’ll be there for you to play for the duration of your PS+ sub.
The only time they ‘leave’ is after the free period and they’ll go back to being whatever price they were beforehand.

I made my very first comment on the first page asking a question & I just saw another first time poster on page 6 (who asked the exact same question) get a reply from Chris while I didn’t *sobs*
It seems like Action/Adventure has been the most popular genre for IGC & although it’s my favourite genre, variety is the spice of life!
Suggestions:
LEGO games are a great choice since they’re universally fun & there’s also plenty of them to pick from too! Sport & racing ones like ModNation, SSX or NFS: Hot Pursuit/ The Run. RPGs like Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragon Age, Fallout, Elder Scrolls. Platformers like Sound Shapes & Rayman Origins. There haven’t been too many fighters either (at least not in Australia since we missed out on both Mortal Kombats) so stuff like SCV, MvC3 & BlazBlue (& maybe Mortal Kombat again for Australia?). Puzzle games like Echochrome or The Unfinished Swan. You can also mix it up a bit with some strategy RPGs like Valkyria Chronicles or Disgaea 4. They might not be for everyone but that’s the thing about IGC – it gets people to try out things they might not have otherwise!
Sorry to ramble – I’m bored! But thanks for reading & hopefully that was somewhat helpful.

Apologies I did not intentionally miss your question out, there are just a lot to get through
As you would have seen from my previous response I have asked the question but I think it is unlikely now that we will be able to offer MK, sorry
315

Chris
Dragon’s Dogma will be digital from April when the expanded addition is released. Will we still not be able to get it then for another reason, or will it then be possible?
Also why can’t we have Binary Domain, you gave it to Germany I want it too.
Also i’m so happy to hear we won’t get Dead Island as i bought it in your sale last year and haven’t had a chance to start it yet
Any of the Assassins creed games would be nice to have, I’ve only played the first one so far.

Unfortunately we can’t just pick and choose what we want when we want it we have to spend a long time negotiating with publishers for these Plus deals so we can never say for certain whether we will or will not be able to place a game in Plus.
Germany got Binary Domain as a replacement for Sleeping Dogs as this is banned there. If we were now to offer Binary Domain for everyone else we would then need to find a replacement title for Germany again. We strive to only offer content that is available in all regions so we do not run into that situation.
317
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 3:56 pm by pinkplaybunny
I understand Chris and you do a great job negotiating these games, there have been a lot of good ones lately including sleeping dogs. I was just very hopeful of Binary Domain being one of our IGC this year
318
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 4:34 pm by Demoplay86
Please Chris. I understand you’re rather swamped but i’ve been asking some of these questions for months.
Love the update and appreciate it immensely but can we in AU please get more PSX releases? In particular World of Mana, Breath of Fire IV, Chrono Trigger and Suikoden 1 and 2? Other countries have had them for years =(
Also, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Acceleration of Suguri X-Edition, Counterstrike: GO, Arcana Heat 3, Derrick the Deathfin, Final Fight: Double Impact, Legasista, Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon or Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Decade Duels Plus? Any news on any of these?
And finally, Castle Crashers/Scott Pilgrim DLC? Will they ever come to Au? The Behemoth says it’s up to Sony.
319
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 5:52 pm by Devils_Demon
Aw. I bought ME3 from EBay last week. Guess I can put it straight back up on it then.
As for Lego games. Sure, why not.
320
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 7:09 pm by shagbat
Quick Ps plus related question. When it says ‘access up to 65 games a year’ is that the maximum number Sony make available a year or the most you can download? Just wondering if there is any restrictions like that.
321
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 7:52 pm by Project2insanity
@shagbat: Sony throw you in jail if you download all of them because you’re robbing them. My last week wasn’t pleasant in the cells… Seriously, though, there are no restrictions. I put every game on my download list (including those I already own) although I might make an exception if Lego Harry Potter comes around.
@Scuffy_P; I’m not exactly sure what you expect from Plus. You know what it offers, you can choose to subscribe or not to. I’m certainly not a ‘casual gamer’ yet I still find plenty value (in the smaller titles mostly). Already own Sleeping Dogs, Bioshock, Arkham City, Vanquish and Dead or Alive 5 on disc. I don’t have Mass Effect 3 but want to know something? I’m planning to pick up the trilogy regardless.
It’s rather simple, it has definite value but you’re best not to subscribe if you find none for yourself. Otherwise you’re like a bald man shopping for a comb.
322
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 7:53 pm by MadMigsRSA
Chris Howe, have you had a read of my post – 180 – yet?
Would like an answer to it please.
323
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 8:00 pm by shagbat
@project2insanity, Thanks. That’s what I’ve been doing, putting pretty much everything through the cart even if I don’t end up downloading it yet. I was worried I’d hit a limit at some point, guess it feels too good to be true!
324
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 8:45 pm by marmeduke
Hay Chris. Will the ME3 multiplayer also be free?
325
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 9:42 pm by Project2insanity
@”Singstar_Spam”; Can’t you just settle on one ID? You are quite the propaganda machine. The only thing stopping people heeding your words is your own utter hypocrisy. You speak out against the ‘tyranny’, seem to think you are a revolutionary yet you hide behind your fake ID to cover the fact you subscribe to Plus. Not only that but at this point, I’d say it’s very safe to say you even resubscribed.
It’s been pointed out many, many times that Vita content does not affect PS3 content. Even it it did- £40 a year still gives you outstanding value. Get over yourself or get a Vita!
326
Posted on 25 February, 2013 at 10:28 pm by ifi5i
WoW. First Sleeping Dogs, Limbo, Quantum Conundrum…
), Dead or Alive 5 and Joe Danger 2. I can’t wait April to see, what is going to be next. An FPS maybe? The Darkness 2? FEAR 3? Or I Am Alive? I can’t wait. 
Now Mass Effect 3 (I alrady played it, but I will play again
I think it would be great if every games will be again avaliable in PSN Plus Network, because there are so many members, who missed some of them. For only a week or a month.

I do really appriciate the plus content regardless going for my 3rd year soon but should the North american plus users get something close to what is released for EU users on plus i mean that is a great list of games and then we get plants vs zombies… something seems off its a great game but those ones listed would certainly appriciated over here in NA

Hi
Someone else stated that you didn’t answer their question and I completely understand but I was wondering if you would mind letting me know your thoughts on my suggestions? Here is my list below:
Lego Games (Lord of the Rings, Batman 2, Star Wars 3)
SuperHero Games (The Amazing Spider-Man, MVC2, Kick-Ass, Batman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor)
Mirror’s Edge
PS1 Classics (Spyro, Tomb Raider, Crash, Rayman)
Avatars for PSN Profiles
The Last 2 either as free content or discounts?
Also, What are the chances of seeing more PS2 games come on to the store like: The Punisher, Ultimate Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot titles, Spider-Man 2, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Futurama.
Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Will we get a limited time dlc discount like when sleeping dogs was game of the month?
Really looking forward to DOA5, need to play something other than MK while waiting for injustice. Also very keen to check out Mass Effect 3.
Thank You guys, awesome Job as usual

Posted on 26 February, 2013 at 3:57 pm by AtomicEdge
A quick question!
I know that since the launch of the IGC that you have moved away from Minis, PSP and PS One titles, but is it possible there will be a return to these at some point? There are a lot of PSP titles that I never got to play that have great reviews. Persona 3 Portable, GoW Chains of Olympus, GTA Chinatown wars to name a few.

Great deals for March. Man why don’t consoles have crazy sales like Steam and other PC providers more often. Hell one site is selling Sleeping Dogs and ALL dlc for less than $25 this week on PC. That’s crazy!
342
Posted on 27 February, 2013 at 8:06 am by Asriel-Sama
I read today that Peacewalker is now available for Vita as part of the MGS HD collection and the PSN store will be updating it as such. Does this mean that MGS HD collection being offered on PS Plus next month will have MGS 2, 3 AND Peacewalker?

Hi!
CHRIS HOWE: I would really appreciate(and I belive many others too)a list of ALL the games that has ever been avaliable for free as a ps+-subscriber in europe.
So i can buy them(or at least the one that seem good;)
Thank you!
344
Posted on 27 February, 2013 at 10:32 pm by randomtrav132
Great Update.
Already own Metal Gear on Vita, but it’s always nice to have the digital as a back up in case I decide to sell it.
Can I suggest Way of the Samurai 4 as April content. I think games with a niche market are underrated and it would be good for the company as a marketing strategy as a brand.
But with any free game I’m Happy.
Thanks Chris. Plus is great!

Hello.
Please help me with this urgent PS+ glitch.
I “bought” Dust 514 : Starter Pack for Free with my PS+ subscription.
I didn’t download it, just “purchased” it to have it in my download list for whenever I wanted to play the game.
But it is now not in my download list, and it’s listed as 9.99 Euros on the PS+ section in PS3′s playstation store.
(don’t have a PC currently to check the Webstore, just a PS3).
What’s the issue here?
Thanks,
Spiroth.
