probably between Renegade ops and Bastion for xbla/psn GOTY, imo
Any updates on this week's games, other than RDR?
can you add a year of psn+ onto my already 90 subscription? does it just add it on to my existing 90days?
In all honesty, is it worth a buy?

Hey there folks. You may notice something a little different about the PlayStation Plus update this week. Yes, as some of you may have heard, Ross has moved on to pastures new. I hope you’ll all join me in wishing him well in all his future endeavours – we’ll miss having him around! Ross 2.0 will be along soon enough, but in the meantime I’ve stepped into the breach and will be keeping you informed of the latest updates to your Plus service.
So, without further ado, let’s kick off with your new Game of the Month. As announced at Gamescom last month, from tomorrow until 2nd October you can pick up Rockstar’s epic open world Western adventure Red Dead Redemption. Rightly hailed as one of the finest games of this console generation, it’s an absolutely unmissable experience. If you haven’t played it yet, you’re in for one heck of a treat. And if you have, the multiplayer community is still very active. Jump in.
Next up, from 12th September until 4th December, you can download retro-fabulous side-scrolling beat ‘em up Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It’s a rare movie tie-in that is every bit the equal of its source material, and a delightful nostalgia hit for anyone raised on the likes of Streets of Rage or Double Dragon.
And speaking of which, Double Dragon Neon is your third game of the month, downloadable from 12th September to 4th December. Developed by the seriously talented Wayforward Technologies (Bloodrayne: Betrayal, Mighty Flip Champs! DX and the forthcoming Silent Hill: Book of Memories), it’s a hypercolourful reboot of the classic arcade punch-up. Should be a good ‘un.
Finally, the next game in our PlayStation Plus Presents indie initiative is the wonderful point and click puzzler Machinarium, available from 5th September until 23rd October. It’s one of the finest adventure games of recent years, and sports some stunning art design to boot. I’m a big fan of this one – be sure to check it out.
Running out of space for all these great titles? Fear not. We don’t have a confirmed date for you today, but as promised at Gamescom, your cloud storage limit will be increased to 1GB later this month. I’ll let you know when that goes live.
And finally, if you’re not yet a Plus subscriber, your excuses for not signing up are starting to run out. From 5th to 19th September a 365 day subscription is on sale at 25% off – that’s €37.49/£29.99, down from €49.99/£39.99. Current subscribers take note – annual subscriptions stack, so you can also take advantage of the reduced price.
Myself and the store team will do our best to answer any questions you have below. Fire away.
is the update today for this as its the 5th??
It's normal, mine has only ever auto downloaded 1 demo since they started it, it's never auto downloaded the plus games.
Very quick question and apologies as it's likely been covered but any games downloaded for free as a subscriber, can you keep if you cancel?
PlayStation Plus Update: Online Storage Upgraded To 1GB
We’ve got some happy news for PlayStation Plus members this week – the latest firmware update (version 4.25) goes live tomorrow, increasing your Cloud Storage limit from 150MB to a whopping 1GB.
After you’ve installed the update, simply go to the Saved Data Utility under the Game column of the XMB. From there you can access the Online Storage folder and find any existing game saves already uploaded, as well as the increase in space to 1GB. So set your automatic download to upload every game save for every game you play, and enjoy the additional breathing room. You can also continue to use this feature to selectively upload game saves you specify.
As announced last week, your Instant Game Collection titles for September are epic Western adventure Red Dead Redemption, quirky indie puzzler Machinarium (both available now), retro dust-up Scott Pilgrim vs The World (available tomorrow) and Double Dragon Neon (due later this month).
In addition to that lot, I can also announce that Plus subscribers get a one week headstart on SEGA’s HD revamp of Dreamcast classic, Jet Set Radio. You can download it from tomorrow on PlayStation 3, with 10% off the £6.49/€7.99 asking price.
Oh, and don’t forget you can get 25% off a 12 month Plus subscription until 19th September.
I'm not a fan.
Another game that's spoiled my trophy list with an undeleteable entry at 0%.
What are the games on playstation plus at the moment?
Do you have a list of them please
LOL, it seems to me now they've got everybody reeled in for a year with the discounted price, they are going to dish out some trash.
Starhawk has been up there for a few days now so I really hope it isn't the game of the month!
