This week, PlayStation Plus members will be able to download two new-ish old games: Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10. These retro throwbacks aren't the only "free" goodies available to paying subscribers, however.

The God of War: Ascension beta begins this week for Plus members. To commemorate the occassion, you'll also be able to download a "Eye of Kratos" avatar as well.

Plus members can also get the "Recent Winners pack" for NCAA Football 13 for free. This pack will unlock Tim Tebow, Mark Ingram, and Matt Leinart for use in Heisman Mode. Finally, subscribers can also pick up Eufloria at a 50 percent discount: $2.50.

          yeah you can easily miss these games since you cant buy or check out what's up online and need to boot your PS3 up and some of the deals may only be up for a week or 2. i missed out on sonic a few weeks back. i really wish i could browse the PSN store and set up a download queue like i can on xbox.com.

        i doubt it. i don't think those games were available on it in the first place but it would be a perfect platform for it

              I tried it for a couple minutes and it was your average ball rolling through a maze thing. I just got my Vita, and (hopefully) have better things to play on it. haha

                  I always add the free Plus games to my cart and abort the download in case I change my mind later. Doesn't hurt and only takes a few seconds.

                  also, pinball arcade is pretty good but unless you started buying tables on PS3 (crossbuy) you likely don't want to buy the tables again.

                  also i am kind of disappointed that the ps3 version doesn't have a latency adjuster. game is not super fun on the console because every tv i play on has a delay that messes up my game. works fine on vita

                    Yeah got RCR and PA.

                    PA is disappointing on every platform for one reason or another. I'm done giving those guys my money until they get their shit together.

      I really enjoyed these games on the Wii. Megaman 10 took a bit to grow on me but then it was awesome.

      As C->Star says: "Wh0a." How does one play as Bass, as shown in the screenshot?

        That screenshot is from "Megaman and Bass" which was considered to be the 9th Megaman, until Megaman 9 came out.
