[Kid_Loser]

Disappointing PS+ month imo, just hope next month is great to start the new year.

[SplatterScoggs]

I'll pick up that AC II, as I wont be buying AC III anytime soon with all the complaints I've seen on here... just bought Bulletstorm for 12 at gamestop last week... grrr.... Thanks for update Uma!

[Eddie]

I got infamous festival of blood. Also why is Jetpack not free? Or is it only for plus

That's odd it should be free for everyone

[Rubicant81]

NA PS+ users got hosed big time in December. Especially compared to what EU got in December. Pretty disappointed, and the customer reps on the PS Blog have gone quiet after the endless diatribe of complaints.

Here's hoping 2013 has a better showing.

[SirDrRoger]

I think I'll finally pick up Tokyo Jungle, maybe Skullgirls to while I'm at it.

Lol. I was thinking the same thing. I didnt take it from my friend for free. I thought about it, but when I saw all the bad stuff people said I passed...

[Pancake Model]

This is terrible!

[MatCauthon]

They kept saying on the blog that they would have something special for Plus members around the holidays.... um, okay. And Jetpack Joyride isn't showing up as free for me.

You have to go under new releases. If you search for it, it comes up as $3.99...

Yup... thanks. I just realized I was looking at the mini version. Found the Vita/PS3 versions now

I picked up Tokyo Jungle, it was on sale on EU psn and I can't wait to play it.. everybody says it is good.
Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't even see Skullgirls lol I've been waiting for that to go on sale

Yeah I've heard good things about Tokyo Jungle. Been waiting for Skullgirls to go on sale as well.

Absolute shite this week......I despise basketball video games. I think that Sony should refund Plus members just for the crap that they put up for this week.

Great, just downloaded it.
