@suicidesn0wman: From Dust is always in the sales for PS4, you'd be better off buying that rather than a PS3. Having said that there are some great freebies for PS3 IGC you can play on the PS3 if you get one. Hopefully you've been adding all of the games to your collection from previous months.

@gotrekfabian: I probably haven't been, too lazy. I need another PS3 anyway, collection purposes. Got the launch console in storage.

Wow...overall excellent month. I have RE already but looking forward to try the rest. October goes to Sony when it comes to "free" games - GwG this October is super disappointing.

@skemaal: Yep, happened to me with journey last month. Sony are a shady bunch when it comes to that sort of thing.

@ibonedyourmom: Never buy games at the end of the month. Period. I don't buy anything not brand new after the 10th of any month.

@ibonedyourmom: I grabbed TFD from the lash Flash sale it was on a little while back, and barely got to touch it. So, I feel your pain.

@yukushi: It's a pretty decent brawler. Probably the best non-Platinum owned game other than Revengeance.

Hmm. ok. That's not bad, I guess. It'll be fun to revisit Resident Evil after all these years. I've never been a big transformers fan, though. May still give it a try.

sweet! i was so close to picking up resi 1 remake in last month's humble bundle... glad i held off. transformers was ridiculous as a $60 purchase. i would pay no more than $10 for such a game, even though it looked somewhat fun. this is a fantastic month for ps plus members.
