Did I totally miss the vote?  If so... what were the options and which of those games was the winner?

If I didn't miss the vote did I misunderstand? I thought one of the two PS4 titles each month would be voted on by the community from three choices... I did the one last month for the Sept. release but don't recall seeing anything about a vote this month for the October games.  I've been PC gaming (Witcher 3) mostly this month though so I may have just totally missed it.

As for the games I kickstarted Broken Age, picked up another copy as part of a humble bundle, may have even gotten a steam code from one or both of those, and now I'll have it for PS4, rofl.  Seems like a weak line-up overall with just a bunch of indie games.

Also DriveClub PlayStation Plus Edition is apparently not going to be free for Plus members after Oct. 6th so if you want it and haven't grabbed it yet make sure to do so before the 6th.

Do people really expect to get AAA games every month? I agree some months seem pretty weak while others seem really good but I think the quality has been mostly great since Sony launched the service. MS obviously saw it as a point of difference between themselves and Sony so they introduced their own version.

Thankfully I use PS Plus for reasons other than the free games, as if I relied on that, I'd be sorely disappointed with yet another bunch of indie titles being thrown out there.

I understand the PS4 is the indies console of choice, but at least offer something decent occasionally.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect an older AAA PS3 title every month.  I don't expect a AAA PS4 title at all so that's a pleasant surprise when it happens (and I'd say when they do that they could skip the AAA PS3 title).

The PS3 should have a large enough back catalog at this point that they can offer up a AAA title each month, heck even if they only did Sony published titles they could probably do that.

I NEVER expect AAA Vita titles.

Overall I'm happy with the total of the games I get in the course of a year but that doesn't mean I can't point out which months I think are weaker than others and that I'm not a bit disappointed when that occurs.

Just my $0.02

Yes, mostly since on PS3 there were AAA games.  I totally understood the first year or so not having them because the system was new and not that many AAA games were even out much less could be available for free, but now we're creeping on two years since launch.

That was a common complaint anyway.  Hell, people still say that about some of these indie games.  We've had Injustice, Ground Zeroes, and inFamous: First Light, and Driveclub.

Even on PS3 it took a while to get AAA games, but once they started the instant game collection there was Just Cause 2, inFamous 2, Starhawk, Borderlands, Re5, Darksiders, Vanquish, Spec Ops, Demon's Souls, XCOM, Uncharted 3, Dragon's Dogma, Borderlands 2,.....   Most of those games were well over a year old, even 3 years old in some cases.

I just figure by now a Killzone: Shadowfall or something could be available.

That said, I've absolutely gotten some gems on my PS4 from this.

The way I see it is it's better if I get games I probably wouldn't otherwise have bought. A lot of the indie stuff while it's cheap gets drowned out by AAA releases. When we do see full retail games it always tends to be stuff I bought at release, or in the months after release. When you get an indie title on PS+ the day of it's release, or very shortly afterwards, there's a good chance I haven't bought it already. Stuff from 1~2 years ago is hit and miss, especially on the retail front.

The PS3 offering is whats poorest this month.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.

      Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
