Dec PS Plus adds huge BF1943 sale

Also, huge discounts on Neo Geo gems.

No PlayStation Plus is not a waste of money because look, this month you're offered 40 per cent off the price of Battlefield 1943! And that's a good game!

Sony will also give you Neo Geo game Samurai Showdown for absolutely free, according to the European PlayStation blog.

In addition, PS Plus subscribers can relish a day-one 20 per cent discount on today's new PSN game, Eat Them.

There are PlayStation minis on offer, too, in the shape of A Space Shooter for 2 Bucks (that's its name - it's actually free).

That's on top of a 25 per cent discount for Blokus, and 20 per cent off all Neo Geo Station launch titles, which inlcude:

  • Alpha Mission II
  • Art of Fighting
  • Baseball Stars Professional
  • Fatal Fury
  • League Bowling
  • Magician Lord (This title will be coming free to Plus in February 2011. We wanted to make sure those who just couldn't wait that long still got a discount.)
  • Metal Slug
  • Super Sidekicks
  • The King of Fighters '94
  • The King of Fighters '94 (PSP)
  • Metal Slug (PSP)

These deals are extras to compliment the standard PlayStation Plus content for December and January, which we outlined at the start of the month.

Like Xbox Live, PlayStation Plus costs £39.99 annually - or £11.99 for 90 days. Unlike Xbox Live, Sony's keen to offer lots of free stuff above and beyond demos.
