So, one game voted for is guaranteed to get in? That's cool.

Lame, only 3 choices. And if those 3 games are the first games people vote on for September, it's really poor choices.

I think it's a great idea. More fun than just wondering what you may get.

@Shewgenja: Yeah, but the game choices are what matter. If we have to vote between shit, and other shit, it's really not that great.

All three games look worth a spin. Especially Armello, "Armello is a grand swashbuckling adventure that combines three styles of play; The deep tactics of card games with the rich strategy of table top board games, combined with a character role-playing system."

From Polygon : "This is a digital board game that exists somewhere between the island of Catan and the land of Studio Ghibli.”

Colour me interested!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a downgrade from what they currently do? Right now they offer 2-3 three games for free, but now they're reducing it to 1 that we vote from in a selection of 3?

The amount of games received will remain the same. According to this, the game you vote for, will simply be added to next month's roster.

This is the illusion of choice, all three games will make their way into the PS+ rotation anyway at a later date, you just to pick which one comes first.

Not a bad idea but it's misleading trickery intended to make people think they're empowered, in other words it's a marketing tactic.

If that's the case, then this is great news. I was wondering why everyone was so positive about it.

You just won me over. Probably will vote for that!

Oh, and this is a cool feature. Gonna be a bummer when there's a title I really want and everyone else is being stupid and voting for the other crap. :P

Understandable. I had to read the article once more, before replying, to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding what was said.

This is a great deal for those who actually purchase these smaller titles on a whim; helps you to better plan your spending $$$. Kudos Sony.

That's a great idea. One game is still a mystery for Sony to announce while the other is chosen by the fans so you have an idea throughout the month as to which you'll be getting. Can't wait to see if there's going to be 3 AAA games to choose from.

Good idea, but can't say I'm a fan of it. Like on Steam sales when they allow voting I'll assume that very particular types of games will get chosen.

To be completely honest it is a 'limited' choice, considering we don't get to choose from a larger selection but just 3..

Not a bad idea, but would have been much better if Sony let us choose from a larger selection, including many non indie titles.

Giving us a vote is cool but if its a vote out of 3 games the company chooses its not as cool as it could be. Take this coming month, I would rather vote for head lice on my neighbor than any of those.

Too bad the video game community has Shit taste and will always pick the worst game. Happens during the steam sale all the time and ps4 users are way more dumb. Awful idea

Terrible idea, under no circumstances do I want a "free" game to be decided by the mainstream gaming audience, least of all the PS4 audience.

Being able to vote between a bunch of indie games isn't nothing to be excited about imo. I'd love to try out The Order 124709124, but I don't want to pay for it.
