The offer they have going on is quite good, 4 free games (okay none of them are vita games, but sod it. Free stuff) and all are playable on the vita it also includes a long list of discounts, which is looking pretty good.
The games on offer are these:
FREE GAMES:
Wild Arms (PS one Classic)
Patapon (PSP)
Piyotama (PSP)
Patchwork Heroes (PSP)
The following games are on sale with 30% off, but if you happen to be a PS Plus member, you get 50% off the games,
and here they are :
Army Corps of heck

Happy Pata Pata ‘ing
What was that last game you bought on PSN? Mine was UNO!
This is a great way to force updating if they are already not. good move sony, good move
can i get them for free in a ps3?
This way your PS Vita will be up to date.
…. it is not fair….
This is why a lot of people hate Sony.
All that’s left is to find a loophole in one of the free games that will be available later today 😀
people at Sony are very lame, games for ps one should be free or at worst 0.50-1.50 $
Update to get free psp games that I can get with the exploit, update to get a ps1 game that I can get with the ps1 emulator on my phone, update to get discounts when I only have 4 dollars in my account and dont plan on adding more…no thanks
not updated yet, no free games for me lol
btw my psvita was restored when i turned it on today, that was weird…
hmmm…. sony playstation web store is down for US..
*SIGH*
is on maintenance, sony announced like 1 or 2 weeks ago
It’s still up for me…..
ter on it ….just downloaded its new so u may need to serch
Just for the record, Media Go works for downloading the freebies. Otherwise you can’t get them on the web store or PS3 store (Not sure about PSP).
Ive been checking the store and none of those games are on the list. Yes i am in the US. since this post ive been checking every 30 min and still nothing…
Theres a section that says psvita anniversery bash. I believe thats where those games would be. Can anyone confirm what section there in.
Thanks in advance.
I think you are right, but too early.
I believe that’s last week’s early anniversary promotion,
until the store updates.
Lately, they seem to update REALLY late.
Like almost the next day.
you have to search for them manually…they are not being advertised as a special, but they are still free right now on the ps store…also, wild arms and piyotama arent downloading for me, wont even give me a download button to start…thanks for the heads up tho, no one wouldve known if it werent for this post.
sorry for the double post, but i just noticed that im only getting the 30% off instead of the 50% even though im a PS Plus member.
You missed that Hustle Kings (ps vita game) is free by now and
Hustle Kings – on
Wild Arms – buy
Patapon – on
Piyotama – buy
Patchwork Heroes – on
Hustle Kings doesn’t show up free for me. A demo and an add-on only.
The announced games are up and downloading though! I am stoked!
me downloaded on me usa , patapon (free)
piyatonma (free) and patchwork heros (free) cant down teh ;ast one for sum reson ters a error but 3 out of 4 …great!!!! (serch manaul) best
correct at march 6 2013
download at 8.45am china time
(remember to use usa account)
It works now guys! Here is a video for proof:
The downloads are finally up! Check it now and hopefully you all have access to them!
yea its finqlly up just checkd…….time to look for exploits
Well you can’t get them using PS3 or Web store. Not gonna loose 2.02 over these games.
Well congratulations Sony, you finally made me crack and update my Vita. It only took Playstation Plus, upgraded web browser, a *** ton of free games, and now this on top of sending me a 10 dollar free PSN points card in my email for no reason. The fact that the only good homebrew left to me is Wagic also kinda had something to do with it though.
Hmm..i assume you gotta log in with your vita? Wild Arms shows up on the store, but only if i search..and when i find it there’s no option to buy -or- download it..yet it has all the EXPERIENCE THIS GAME FOR BOTH PSP AND PS3 AS A CLASSIC blah blah ***..any ideas? Or did they already take it down?
Download MediaGo from Sony’s website and get the games from there, if you don’t wanna update your PS Vita.
Nevermind, for those who want the PSP games added to account, then you can download MediaGo (from Sony) and get them from there. Google it.
I got all four games now but really Wild arms and patapon are the only good ones for me anyway
actually all off them are good if you just sit down and play it
can Wild Arms be downloaded for ps3?
probably cause it does say ps3/psp/psvita
woot everything is up
😀 hey, this stuff is free for psp, too
I’m in the US, in Utah, and the games are free now
Funny thing is it was stupid to update haha
– Playstation Plus just have discounts right now
– You didnt have to update you couldve used mediago, be smart brah
– You shouldve waited till the next exploit comes out so you can have ecfw
Does Media Go actually work?
You’re probably right.
I didn’t realize there was this option.
I am glad to have online play and Netflix back though.
If you get them off mediago, is there a way to transfer to a 2.02 vita? If so, how? (So others still on 2.02 can know.)
MediaGo does not work on the Vita, only on the psp
Hmmm, thanks for the info. 🙂
In that case, definitely glad about updating, then.
For the record, you DON’T need PS Plus for the free games. ^ ^
They are really fun too.
I will miss TN-C and Ark, but I think an update-proof exploit will hit one day on these forums.
Downloaded 4 psp games through MediaGo and Dynasty Warriors Next on WebStore. Thank you $ONY YAY!!!
mediago allows you to add all of the game to your download history in your so you don’t miss out on the deal and still download it later when you have a reason to update.
If psp parrapa goes free next week,I’m in.
no love for japan?(`ーnー´)
NO LOVE FOR EUROPE!!! (Ò_Ó)
this sucks but at least we have PSO2 (＾・。・＾“)～
i stoping the UNO version.
i can confirm MediaGo PSP lets you download Wild Arms FREE
at least it stays on my download list 🙂
Thanks!
Wonderbook series is also free… idk if its always been or not :S
I can confirm. The Media Go download does in fact work. Use the search and you’ll find them faster. I also have them on my 1.80FW PsVita. Here’s how.
Download the Media Go from Sony
Install the Media Go
Download all Freebies
This makes them go to your Account Download list
Now on your PS3
Sign in
Goto Account management
Transaction Management
Download List
Redownload All games on the PS3
On the PsVita/PC
Turn on Fixed Content Manager
Connect the Vita to the PC
Open Content Manager on the Vita
Start Content Manager
— If you system says to update, redo the Fix for the content manager —
Unplug the Vita
Plug it into the PS3
Select Connect to the PS3 System
Now search for your files and transfer them
Happy playing 🙂
