Playstation Plus Content For September 21, 2010

Today Grace Chen, Senior Manager of the Playstation Store, made a blog post here announcing the new content for Playstation Plus users on September 21, 2010.  The update to come will include more free content of games, themes, and add-ons.

Zen Pinball
This game, Zen Pinball, will be a free download for Playstation Plus users.  Dive into tons of levels to relive the pinball craze from long ago, but now in digital form.  The game is also packed with several multiplayer options to let everyone get in on the fun.

Swords and Soldiers
Early access demos are one of my favorite things about Playstation Plus.  We get yet another one come September 21, 2010.  Swords and Soldiers is a strategy based side-scrolling game.  Play several game modes as you command armies like Vikings and Aztecs.  Oh, I forgot to mention, you get early access to the game if you like the demo.

Half Off
Two games will be 50% off on September 21, 2010.  These three games are Cuboid, and Savage Moon.  Both games have made a name for themselves and are highly recommended.  Especially for the steal of a price.

That is all only some of the content that will be available.  There is still free avatars, minis, and PS1 Classics that I didn't mention.  This may be one of the most packed updates for Playstation Plus.  So, now we wait, and eventually we will enjoy.

Update v3.42 Leaves Users Dissapointed

Yesterday (September 6th, 2010) the v3.42 update became available for users.  Most users have noticed that each update recently has offered new features or layout options, which is nice to have.  However, this update, v3.42, hasn't brought a lot to the table compared to past updates.

Seen from Playstation's official blog, John Koller (Director, Hardware Marketing) says,

"A minor update to your PS3 system is now available via system software update v3.42 that includes additional security features."

Straight, and to the point.  Obviously the purpose is to possibly throw off some of the hacked PS3s out there.

So go update your PS3 and sulk because it won't benefit you in any way.
