Hi Guys, apologies for not being able to get you the July content list earlier than this, but we wanted to make sure we worked right up to the end to get you some great content.

It?s hard to believe that PlayStation Plus is already a year old, but I guess time flies when your enjoying so many exclusives, betas, PSN games, minis, PS one Classics, dynamic themes and avatars.

We?ve been having a look back at what content has been available to Plus members in the first year and have discovered something we thought you guys might find interesting ? while we said we?d deliver over ?200 of content during the year, we totted up the totals for all the games, discounts themes and avatars and the value actually came to over ?700*. In anyone?s eyes that?s a pretty good deal for under ?3.50** a month!

We didn?t want the value to stop there. To celebrate the Plus Anniversary we are offering you some great content, with more coming throughout the month, and these two great sign up offers to choose from (Available from the 6th July to the 3rd August 2011) -

  • Sign up for a 12 month Plus subscription and get an extra 3 months for free.
  • Sign up for a 12 month Plus subscription and get SEGA Rally Online Arcade for free and to keep forever.

You don?t have to worry about missing out on these offers if you?re already a subscriber ? you can take advantage of the deal by renewing now before your current subscription expires. If you want it all ? the free game and 15 months for the price of 12 ? you can sign up to both 12 month subscription offers but you must purchase the 15 for 12 subscription first, and then purchase the SEGA Rally subscription. That way you?ll be able to enjoy the classic SEGA racing game, and when your first 15 months subscription expires your PlayStation Plus subscription will automatically carry on for another 12 months without you having to lift a finger.

If you are a Welcome Back Free Plus user then you will need to wait until your free membership finishes before you purchase a Plus membership. Don?t worry, if you renew to a paying membership, you?ll also keep the content you got during your free trial.

Comp not open to Australian members? Sucks.

One of the dynamic themes you get is of that cake and the symbols spin or some stupid ****. Why you would want a cake for a theme is beyond me.

I wish Sega would release the arcade version of Golden Axe and other classics instead of the Genesis versions.

Whats the difference between them? I never played the sega versions, but didn't notice anything different on this one from the old arcade that I barely remember lol.

I still have not got my money worth from PSN+, but I am too lazy to remove my credit card from the auto-renewal.

I have a confession to make. I got Golden Axe with my Mega Drive console when I was, I don't know, 10-11? Still haven't been able to beat the game. :no: Let's see if I can do it on my PS3 (doubt it)

Firstly, you may know about a new game launching today called Section 8 Prejudice. We wanted to try and give you something a little extra for being a Plus subscriber, so we have worked with the guys at Timegate and you will be the only players that can access a specific type of armour, called ?Hunter Armour?. The game will automatically recognise you?re a member and you will be able to get the armour.

Make sure you pick up this game quickly as there is another little treat for the quickest Plus subscribers ? The first 1000* Plus members to buy the game from PlayStation Store will receive it?s predecessor, Section 8, completely free of charge and to keep forever. Even if you?ve played the original before, this is a great chance to re-live the game before you start on Prejudice.

*Please remember that you need to be opted in to receive marketing communications to receive this offer or we can?t send you the voucher for the free game. If you?d like to be one of the 1000 people to get section 8 for free, please firstly go into ?Account Management?, ?Account Information and ?Notification Preferences?. Then make sure the top box is ticked to say that you agree to receive information on PlayStation products and services. You can also do this online at playstation.com (don?t worry, you can simply un-tick this after the promotion has finished if you don?t want t receive emails from us.

Please see full terms & conditions at playstation.com/legal

We know how much you like to receive full games as part of your Plus membership, so we thought we?d give you another one to make it a nice round four full PSN games this month. Later today you can download ?Comet Crash? from the Plus section at no extra cost. Don?t miss out on this extra little treat!

I also wanted to give you a quick look at some of the content you can expect to see coming to Plus in August. You can expect to see, Comix Zone, 50% off Alien Zombie Mega Death and Worms 2: Armageddon. Plus a PSN game, minis, PS one Classics and plenty of day one discounts, loads of other great stuff, and also plenty of surprises along the way!

It's weird. Golden Axe isn't the Mega Drive version but the Arcade one (I think). I beat it with ease. The Mega Drive version was much more challenging, especially the final boss.
