From my understanding all the Genesis games listed here are supposed to be available on PSN:

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/02/16/sega-genesis-collection-coming-exclusively-to-playstation-plus-subscribers-for-free/

I was excited to get the Playstation Plus deal for 30 days because I thought it meant I would be able to get some (If not all) of these games for free. Sonic 1 doesn't have the free Playstation Plus deal anymore, but Sonic 2 does and I now have that. But what about the other games!? I searched every other game listed and nothing! Normally I would assume they're just not there, but doing a twitter search for my all-time favorite Genesis game, Streets of Rage 2, yielded this:

http://twitter.com/#!/search/streets%20of%20rage%202

OK, what's going on. Clearly many people can get more Genesis games off PSN for free by using the 30-day Playstation Plus deal, ("Managed to get on PSN Store & claimed PSPlus Trial. Have d/lSTREETSOFRAGE2 for free." And I saw another one before...) but why can't I!? Could someone just...Explain this? Is it a region thing, or what? It's very dissapointing and aggravating.

Pretty sure they were scheduled to release their next game (or two) during the PSN outage.

I'm not certain, because I didn't really care about it. Like someone else said, these are all available on the Sega Genesis collection. If you want to play Genesis games you should definitely get that, I mean hell the ones on PSN even run letterboxed in a little window - they look like a straight emulation. The ones on the retail disc are all upscaled to 720P HD. So if you get the download ones they are actually inferior.

It's called the Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection in PAL regions. Includes 49 games(more like 48, since there are 2 versions of Altered Beast: Genesis and Arcade). There are more great, memorable games than bad and obsolete ones. It has all the titles that are coming for free to PS+, but it doesn't come with any extras like online play.

Wii virtual console games are laughably overpriced. If I'm not mistaken, they cost around $8 and are exactly the same as the original games, whereas their PSN and XBL counterparts games cost about $5 and give you a few extra features. With that said, VC titles are great if they're rare or not available on other platforms.

There's one platform that has all of them, and for free, but that's not allowed here.
