PlayStation Plus anniversary freebies

By Robert Purchese Published 27 July, 2011

Section 8-related goodies.

It's anniversary month for PlayStation Plus, and Sony has a couple more 'treats' to offer.

If you're a PlayStation Plus member you will have exclusive and free access to Hunter Armour in Section 8: Prejudice, according to the European PlayStation blog.

The first 1000 Plus members to buy Prejudice will also receive Section 8, the first game, for nothing. But do you really want the older, not-as-good game?

Sony will give PlayStation Plus members tower defence game Comet Crash free of charge as well.

Eurogamer's Section 8: Prejudice review dished out a delicious 9/10.

"Were it not for the outdated visuals and functional presentation, Prejudice would easily be worth a full-price purchase," declared reviewer Dan Whitehead.

"It is, quite simply, the best multiplayer shooter since Battlefield: Bad Company 2. As a budget digital download, it's ridiculously good value."

    Waste of space and bandwidth if you're only going to play the newer one though.

    The initial anniversary offering was a little lackluster but all these mid-month extras have tipped the balance, next month looks good too.

    @spacedelete - fine.. if you want to look at it that way.. Dont rent them (Of course you could consider it paying for an extended trial version)
    @super_monty - fine too. dont pay for it. Or take spacedeletes' view and dont 'rent' them

    :-)

    I have to confess to thinking PSN+ sounded like a pants idea - but at least your getting free games and for your dosh (And some discounts).
    OK these games expire when your + sub does - youve got a few months to get bored with it though..

    A bit underwhelming if I'm honest. I loved Section 8, and have been meaning to pick up Prejudice, but the lure of a free armour and copy of the original doesn't really sway me.

    Cut the price or make it a freebie for PS Plus owners, on the other hand, and I'll be extolling PSN+'s few virtues until the proverbial cows come home.
