We personally think that this sale is pale compared to the last month's under $1 games. But some of these might be interesting to you. As usual, if you have Canadian PSN account, before purchasing any games (especially those high priced one) compare the prices first, the same face value in Canadian Dollar means around 20% cheaper than those in US PSN. So if you have both accounts, it is cheaper to purchase from Canadian PSN.

We think this is not a great month being a PS Plus member, we hope the sales are more exciting.

Also, we apologise we are skipping the Spring Fever #5 in US PSN, simply because the sale is not interesting to us, since most of the item offered are DLCs. Nevertheless if you'd like to check by yourself, they have Batman games on lower price. See it here.

This is your IGC from PSN EU/US. Never alone again!

The wait is over, shortly after Japanese PSN revealed their IGC, US and EU PSN revealed theirs as well. As usual both US and EU are offering the exact same games. And this time, most of the offers are similar across region, including Japan. We still don't know yet what is the Asian PSN IGC, but we think it won't be that different.

Let's see the list, this is the IGC for US/EU PSN:

• PS4 Tower of Guns
• PS4 Never Alone
• PS4 Aaru’s Awakening 

• PS3 Dishonored
• PS3 Tower of Guns
• PS3 Aaru’s Awakening 

• Vita Killzone: Mercenary
• Vita MonsterBag

Most of the indie games (oncoming and past ones) are also offered in Japanese PSN, making April the first time PSN JP is offering a lot more similar titles than before. The different is, Japanese PSN IGC will live in 12~15 hours from this blog posting time, while you need to wait until next week at April 8th to get yours from US/EU PSN.

Also don't forget, Woah Dave! (PS4) is also free for Plus members in April but it is not a part of IGC.

This is your PS Plus April 2015 IGC from PSN JP!

For the first time, PSN JP revealed their IGC line-up earlier than PSN US/EU. And not only that, these IGC will live tomorrow! Which means today is your last chance to get the March 2015 IGC from PSN JP which is a lot of games.

Let's check the list first:

• PS4 Valiant Hearts: The Great Wars
• PS4 Never Alone

• PS3 Gatling Gears
• PS3 The Guided Fate Paradox 
• PS3 Rogue Legacy

• Vita Monster Bag
• Vita Rogue Legacy
• Vita OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood

We don't think this line-up is as jaw-dropping as previous IGCs, as there are too many Western Indie games, which made PSN JP lost its charms. By comparison, these below are the games that will expire tomorrow (Japanese Time) when the list is updated. So you need to be a member today if you want to claim both these games below and those games mentioned above.

And if you are never become a PS Plus members on JP PSN before, you can pay for a special price $4.1 for 3 month of JP PSN PS Plus membership. The price only valid until today, March 31st unfortunately so you'll have to rush a bit. EXPIRED

A rule of thumb, all western Indie games are presumed to have its original English version intact. So if you are getting indie games and don't speak Japanese, chances are you can still play it. Another rule of thumb, all Japanese games that is either Racing, Fighting or Shmup are almost guaranteed to have English menus, although the explanations may be Japanese only.

The line-up for US/EU PSN is not yet revealed, but one game for PS3 is confirmed to be Dishonored. Woah Dave! (PS4) is also free for Plus members in April but it is not a part of IGC.

PSN EU celebrate Easter/Spring with a Sale

PSN EU announced Easter Sale yesterday. Although the games being offered are not bad, the list they've posted on their blog are not complete, certainly forcing all of us to visit the PSN webstore directly to see all games being offered. Nevertheless instead of just copying and pasting the original list written by PSN EU, we added some more titles that are not listed yet offered in the sale, but only those with prices under £7 (Roughly equal to US$10. We don't think digital games worth it if prices above that price line.)

Some PSN updates: Japanese PSN is crazy! In a very good way!

We don't create that title out of nowhere, we are still excited how Japanese PSN treat its PS Plus members in all around the world, for a reason we will tell you soon! Keep scrolling.

US PSN may win in term of game sale (yeah, under $1 games is hard to beat, we end up spending $10 for several games). But for Plus members, Japanese PSN took the crown as the best PSN this month.

As announced last week by PSN JP (we are late, we know), starting from March 25th until 31st, if you are a JP PSN PS Plus member in that date, in addition to the current IGC, you will get two additional games to play.

And these two games are very popular title:
PS4  Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends 真・三國無双７ with 猛将伝
PS3  Tales of Symphonia Chronicles テイルズ オブ シンフォニア ユニゾナントパック
Go here to claim the games

Both games are Japanese version only unfortunately, so if you don't understand Japanese, these would only have a little use. But, still we have to call this a crazy offer. Since, speaking from our own experience, one month of JP PS Plus only cost you $4.3. We subscribed at March 3rd, just in time to get the February IGC and March IGC. Added with these two new games, we will need to make space for another GB in our consoles.

That's not all. Our 30 days subscription will finish on April 3rd, and the next IGC will live on April 1st, which means we are eligible to claim the games that will be offered next month (and we will claim them of course). We usually let our subscription lapse until we think we need to be a plus member again (normally we lapsed around 50 days).

We don't know yet what the April IGC are, but we predict we will need to do some space management to keep all those games we got by just spending $4.3

Not only that, if you have a JP PSN account and never subscribed their PSPlus before, you can join the 3 months PS Plus for a special price $4.1 (price only valid until 31st).

Deep in our heart, We hope each PSN store are as crazy as Japanese PSN store when they serve the PS Plus members.

PSN JP also have Capcom PS3 Spring Sale ongoing, these are title that interest us:
Street Fighters III 3rd Strike Online edition $6.5 full English support.
Vampire Resurrection $6.5 major parts of the game are in English.
Capcom Fighting Jam $3.5
Capcom vs SNK 2 Millionaire Fighting 2001 $3.5
You can check the whole list here.

Don't forget to check the under $1 Flash sale in US PSN that will expire in a few hours. It is directly after this post. EXPIRED
