Vita Seller or Not, PlayStation Plus Offers a Stellar Lineup of Free Games

1up - It has not been the most stellar of years for PlayStation Vita, a handheld system that is arguably fighting just to become relevant, let alone stay that way. Sony's PlayStation Plus service, on the other hand, turned the corner this year and has become an invaluable service for many since the implementation of the Instant Games Collection announced at E3 in June. Plus is now scheduled to land on Vita in less than a week, and while on its own it is unlikely to be a major system-seller, it does look like it'll provide Sony with another major bullet point for selling Plus subscriptions.

I wish we EU folks could of get the same content as you
:/ sad panda

You'll be getting the same content.

You do know the EU PS+ changes the free games for PS3 more often as the USA PS+ too right?

USA just got more of them at the same time up front, where EU will get them soon too. When you look at PS+ for PS3 this also happens. USA had Ratchet All 4 One for months, EU just got it. EU had RE5 Gold first, USA got it a month later.

I think Wipeout 2048 will be there for PS+ EU for PSVita in December even

This is an good way of getting people to buy a Vita. This is some tremendous value coming from being a Plus member and for those who currently or plan on owning a PS3 and Vita.

Sony is doing an excellent job at promoting PS3 owners to get a Vita, and now with Plus being attached to Vita they are giving non-PS3 owners more reason to get a Vita.

hkgamer4177d ago

or the other way round as well.
Will be a great chance for PS3 and vita gamers to get PS+

11-20-12 i will start a fresh year of PS Plus w Vita/PS3 along w update 2.0 features for vita.. Many titles to play this holiday

MasterCornholio4177d ago

I hope that Vita sells better after this holiday season because the developers need a large user base before they even start to think about developing games for it.

Plus is a great addition to the Vita and its a step in the right direction.

would be interesting to see the numbers for AC and COD. Two massive franchises but if they don't sell then I don't really see any game reach the 1mil mark anytime soon.

Pillsbury14177d ago

YES! time to give my vita more love! now i need to put a bigger memory card on my christmas list :/

TheDivine4177d ago

Yes its a damn good selection ESPECIALLY if you own a ps3/vita combo. Im a little salty though because i get screwed for supporting Sony. I bought a vita, most every big game, and ps plus only to recieve everything i own. Either i should quit plus or quit buying games. Il prob stop buying ps3/vita games until much later. I already quit buying psn games because i always get them free after i buy them. I wish they gave us credits or a selection of different games to choose from. Put every sony game up and let us pick 2.

Still its a damn good deal and everyone with a vita should get it unless you already own the games.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5214d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5213d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212113d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5213d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5213d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani13d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum14d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman14d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim14d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I disagree Batman
