The full PS+ update for this week:

This week PlayStation Plus continues the piping hot delivery of updates to keep you warm this December. Last week, you took the plunge into the underwater world of Rapture with BioShock 2 joining the Instant Game Collection. This week, you’ll be busting out your shoryukens and controlling gravity with two great games: Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition and Rochard! December 11th PlayStation Plus Update Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (PS3) Free for Plus members Street Fighter IV was already a bonafide hit when it ushered in a new era of 2D fighters. Take that winning formula, refine and balance one of the best fighting game engines, add four new characters (Yun, Yang, Evil Ryu, and Oni), take part in new online modes and you’ve got one of the most complete fighting game packages ever. See you online; I’ll be the guy using this handy guide to my all time favorite fighting game character. Rochard (PS3) Free for Plus members A PSN gem, Rochard brings fantastic puzzle-platforming in the form of taking control of astro-miner John Rochard. Though a humble premise it may be, you’ll be addicted to the gravity control mechanics of Rochard as you solve environmental puzzles and explore new ways to navigate the wonderful trappings of this galactic platformer. It’s a PSN exclusive that, if you missed, you should definitely make the time to play. You can read more on the game from the PlayStation Blog’s coverage. Please note, this title will only be available free in Plus for one week. That’s it for this week’s update, and remember that the above updates will be in effect once the PlayStation Store updates on December 11th; usually between the times of 2:00pm – 5:00pm PST. Also, for those wondering, we do have PS Vita games on the way in December that will add to the already great library of content on PS Vita Plus. Watch for those to be announced in this space later this month. Please remember to jump in to the PlayStation Community Forums in the Plus space where you’ll find threads (or start your own!) to discuss Plus. Of course, leave your thoughts here as well and remember, giving specific feedback is always the best course. Enjoy the update, and see you in the comments.

Huzzah for SSFIV!

Wait, does that mean Rochard will only be in the store for one week or Plus user only get it for a week?

The latter.

Wow more free games! I'm surprised they're adding even more free Vita games soon. Makes me question how they're turning a profit with so many free games and only getting $50 a year.

I thought you had a week to download Rochard, but then had it as long as you have PS+? No? I guess that means I don't need to set up the PS3, activate PS+ 1 month trial, in order to download Rochard for Xmas....

Please, please, please tell me there's a line in Rochard where he says "I'm Rock Hard, Baby." Otherwise, I won't be playing the game. I know his name is pronounced Roshe-Shar frenchy style in game.

You have one week to get Rochard for free, but then you can play it as long as you have PS+ (right?).

SInce I am new to this...have either RE: UC or RESC ever gone on sale or "free" for Plus members? Was it ever released on disc here in the US?

They were on sale for PS+ at launch for the first couple of weeks and they're PSN exclusives.

I like this idea. Even if it's just the splash screen image from your most recently played game, that would be pretty sweet.

AHH damn.... guess I will wait for the cards to go cheap or another sale :| thanks bud.

Why is SSF IV such a big download?! I'm only at 20%.

Ah, then you had wanted to say "former", not "latter". Thanks for the clarification.

Finally, such a cool and unique game, and yet no one's talking about it...what's that about.

Plus I'd have to say Grasshopper and Digital Reality didn't do the best to get the word out for it too.

Still will be picking this up this weekend, and I hope other people here give it a shot too, not many cool games like that released these days.

On another note, Invincible Knight is on the HK store with a demo to play it, simply you are a knight on a horse that can accelerate and destroy enemies the faster he goes, it's a 2d side scroller and must be played to appreciated, you only get to play the 1st level, and its a simple game, but has some nice depth to it.

The latter said that it's available to PS+ users for a week while the former said it's only on PSN for a week.

Looking at my email history, I can only see two emails about Black Knight Sword from the PR company, which were sent out on December 6 and Today.

That's what I thought, there was one press event that was on the official site and youtube channel, and they did very little to no press with any of the game sites I visit.

I just hope word of mouth is enough to help it along it might be short (from initial reports) but it deserves to do well since it does something new and refreshing with a well worn genre.

In comparison, the same PR company sent out quite a few emails about Sine Mora before and after launch.
