Silent Hills is officially canceled, P.T. demo will be taken down on 29th.

Konami has announced that the planned horror game for PS4 "Silent Hills", that was originally featuring Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead, and directed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, is cancelled. Probably has something to do with the departure of Hideo Kojima from Konami.

If you haven't know yet, last year a tech demo for the game was released for PS4 and is seriously a good game by itself. And since the planned game is canned, the demo is going to be taken down as well. So before it happen, if you want to keep the game, now is the time. This is a demo, so no money involved. Just go to any account you have now and "purchase" it, then download it, and keep it until your PS4 dies.

US  |  UK  |  HK

The game will disappear from PSN worldwide on April 29th. Since Asia is the first to enter this date, everyone who are going to take it from Asian PSN are advised to download it quick. UK PSN is the next and US PSN is the last.

Games you are going to miss out if you are not a Plus member yet! (EXPIRED)

UPDATE: Last month's IGC has expired.

If you are still waiting for the March 2015 Instant Game Collection list and looking for any info about it anywhere -just like us-, then you're still out of luck. It seems PSN US/EU will announce the games tomorrow or even at the day when game list updates (March 3rd), which practically made US/EU PSN in the same league with PSN Asia/JP in revealing game list.

If you haven't noticed, PSN US/EU usually reveal the free to play games for the Plus members up to one week before the store updates. In this case it should have been revealed around February 24th. PSN Asia normally on the first day at the week when the updates happening, and this means tomorrow. And the last PSN to reveal their list is PSN Japan, which usually only reveal the full list in up to two days before the day of update. Although two of the titles for JP PSN is already leaked.

Well we try not to dwell into this matter too much. Let's hope each PSN give us the best games to enjoy. And before that, check these games that you will miss out if you are not a Plus subscriber and haven't claim them yet:

*PSTV compatibility info is taken directly from PSN. Normally only HK/JP PSN provide this information, while US/EU PSN aren't. Some titles from US/EU PSN might be PSTV compatible but you need to try it yourself.

If you are not a Plus member yet, and want to claim a certain game(s) you can purchase Plus membership, go here for US, UK, HK, or JP.
30 days membership starts at $10 for PSN US, or $8.8 for PSN UK, or $5 for PSN HK, or $4.3 for PSN JP.

And I still recommend that now is the best time to subscribe Plus, since you are eligible to claim the February 2015 IGC, and eligible to get March 2015 IGC as well, and have some times to play them. Remember that you need to manually claim them though.

Please note that unlike on PS4 and PS3, switching between PSN region on PS Vita system requires factory reset of your Vita console and separate Vita Memory Card. Kotaku has written a detailed tutorial on how to change PSN region on PS Vita. If you think this is too much hassle, perhaps it is better to wait until the game is being offered in your region.

If you are wondering how to create four PSN region accounts for yourself, read our guide on how to set up all four PSN accounts straight from your PC. The registration is free and open to everyone everywhere in the world, not limited to any nationality or place you live, you can also check the FAQ if you are in doubt.

This week is the big week for PS Plus members around the world. All four regions of PSN are going to update their game offer gradually starting from US PSN at 6th around 12PM PT. So if you are not a member of PS Plus you may miss the chance to claim these IGC from December 2014. Let's see the list. Clicking the country two-letters-region-code behind the titles will open a new tab to the corresponding game on PSN.

Of course suggesting you to become a member of Plus on all four regions is absurd and expensive, especially that all games offered by PSN US are also available for PSN UK members. Nevertheless I have no power to stop you from grabbing the game you want above as an IGC (free to play as long as you stay a member of Plus). Some of these may be actually one of the games you've always wanted.

To purchase Plus membership, go here for US, UK, HK, or JP.
30 days membership starts at $10 for PSN US, or $8.9 for PSN UK, or $5 for PSN HK, or $4.3 for PSN JP.

If you become a member now, you will get both December and January IGC games. PSN US and EU already announced their January line-up and today HK PSN and JP PSN announced theirs as well.
