May skip on renewing my PS Plus this week then. Could care less about Double Dragon Neon or Scott Pilgrim.
Wish there was an option to reactive your "Instant Game Collection" that I got from plus previously without signing up for the whole years worth.

Like maybe $25 to play just previously d/l content and then a premium tier that enables you to the new content and deals.

So you'd like to be able to buy out all of the games you got from PS+ for $25? The premium tier sounds like normal PS+.

If you don't want to pay for a 12 month sub, there's the 3 month sub for $18.

Not necessarily buy out, just continue my 'rental' from my previous year of Plus. I wouldn't be participating in the current year of Plus deals and giveaways.

The stuff from my last year's subscription to plus shouldn't lock out just because I don't renew. I shouldn't be entitled to -new- content, but my I paid for what I've already got.

You paid for access to that free stuff while the subscription is active, which you're not entitled to after it's over. The only stuff you keep after it ends are the games that you actually paid for.

Id love to see GTA trilogy HD! I was one of the people waiting for the normal version to hit PSN, but i can wait for an HD version.

That's what I'm wondering as well.

The pre-order gets charged 2 days before release and I believe that there's even a pre-load option if my memory of the EU description is correct.

I guess we'll know tomorrow as it's the last Tuesday before release.

Though we knew most of it ahead of time, here's what will be coming to PS+ for this week:

We’ve got a lot cooking for PlayStation Plus members this week with Double Dragon Neon and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World joining the Instant Game Collection, among other great perks. Read on to learn more! September 11th PlayStation Plus Update Double Dragon Neon Free for PlayStation Plus Members (Regular Price: $9.99, PS Plus Price: Free) After 25 years, the original beat ‘em up is bringing pure over-the-top baditude to PSN, and it’s free for PlayStation Plus members on its first day of release! In Double Dragon Neon, Billy and Jimmy are kicking butts and taking names as they search for their girlfriend Marian (she seems to have a habit of getting kidnapped). This time, her disappearance is at the hands of the supernatural scourge, Skullmageddon! Face off against a gaggle of goons, some familiar (Williams, Linda, and Abobo, of course!) and some that are absolutely out of this world. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game Free for PlayStation Plus Members (Regular Price: $9.99, PS Plus Price: Free) This adaptation captures all the fun and style of the critically acclaimed Scott Pilgrim comics, and the humor of the revered movie, and distills it into a retro-influenced side scrolling beat em’ up, complete with 4-player co-op. With awesome 16-bit animation by world-famous pixel artist Paul Robertson, and a hyper-active soundtrack from chiptune heroes Anamanaguchi, it’s hard not to love Scott Pilgrim, and now you can play it as part of the Instant Game Collection. Jet Set Radio Exclusive Early Access for PlayStation Plus Members and 10% off (Regular Price: $9.99, PS Plus Price: $8.99) SEGA’s new release of the classic Dreamcast title is hitting PlayStation Plus users first! Get it a week before anyone else, and play all the levels while listening to those classic JSR phat beatz (complete with the original world-wide soundtrack) that made this title a true original. This time, of course, you get it with full Trophy support, sharp HD visuals, and you’ll be the first to play it on current-gen consoles. Max Payne 3 PS3 Full Game and Bundle 33% off for PlayStation Plus Members (Game – Regular Price: $59.99, PS Plus Price: $40.49; Bundle: Regular Price: $67.49, PS Plus Price: $60.74) Rockstar’s gritty, action packed noir thriller Max Payne 3 arrived to critical acclaim earlier this year. If you haven’t had a chance to play it yet, now may be the perfect time. It arrives on PSN with this week’s update as a PS3 Full Game, and while there will be a 25% discount for all PSN members on the game, Plus members can grab it for an even better deal at 33% off — just $40.49. You can also buy the bundle complete with the Rockstar Pass, a value of $89.98, for $60.74. That’s it for now, check back with us next week when we’ll have more PlayStation Plus news to share! In the meantime, leave your comments and thoughts on Plus below, or join the conversation on the PlayStation Forums in the Plus section.

Whelp, looks like no pre-order/pre-load option for Borderlands 2 on the NA store.

$36 for the Steam version from GMG it is then.

Might be because Gamestop and Best Buy have US exclusivity with their preorder with the Premiere Edition and because the EU don’t have those stores so they’ve got the Premiere Edition on their PSN instead.

Firmware 4.25 will be out tonight to increase the cloud save storage for PS+ to 1 GB.

Publishers are so weird: They want to bitch about the used market while pandering to retailers which drive it and then even go so far as to neglect digital sales where users can't participate in the supposed industry destroying used market.

They are actively leaving money on the table. ing bonkers.

The 4.25 update for the PS3 that increases PS+ cloud storage to 1 GB is live.

Any other reported features, improvements, etc?

I updated mine to 4.25 and did not get the 1 gig upgrade, mine is still showing 150 mb.
Some posts on the ps blog comments I see others are having the same issue.

Does anyone know if JSR HD comes with the soundtrack as a separate download, and how does it play compared to the original?

DD Neon has got to be one of the worst games I've played in a long time. The difficulty is brutal and the entire game feels slow. What a disappointment.

The Top-Selling Games on PSN for August 2012:

PSN PLAY 2012 provided a ton of great new PSN games; from Sound Shapes, to Papo & Yo; but when it came to sales, Counter Strike: Global Offensive emerged as the victor. Valve’s hit franchise debuted with a powerful shot of multiplayer-centric action, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, download it today and get on the battlefield. Representing more of the PSN PLAY 2012 lineup, Sound Shapes debuts on this month’s top sellers list, coming in at No. 4 on PS3 and No. 1 on PS Vita! Congratulations to Queasy Games and Santa Monica Studios on another hit. PS2 Classics had a great month as well with the addition of War of the Monsters, Shinobi, and Psychonauts. We’re proud of the PS2 Classic War of the Monsters taking the top spot this month as Starhawk developer Dylan Jobe worked on the game (check out his retrospective post from his time developing the game). Also, we’re welcoming PS minis to the lineup this month, so thanks to the readers who suggested we add these. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and we’ll see you next month with September’s numbers. Any guesses who will have the top spot?

If you want to post it, that's fine, but I'm not keeping track of another region's games when there's not much interest here.
