WOW, it seems that SONY is really trying to push the PlayStation + subscription. Last week they gave us the Killzone 3 Beta which was exclusive to PS+ members only, as well the Stacking game for free. Now they have announced that coming to PSN+ exclusively is the Sega Genesis Collection. What’s the cost you ask? Well it’s going to cost you NOTHING. Here is a break down:
Regular PlayStation Store Release ($4.99 each)
PlayStation Plus Releases (free)
These will include PS3 trophies, but a list of trophies was not provided at the time of this post.

How much you have to pay for a PS+ account?

Not 100% sure as this was posted on the N. American blog but I will try to find out.

I believe it was $17.99 for 3 months or $50 for the entire year. I paid $50 for for 15 months when they first pushed this out and you can bet they are getting my $50 again.

yeah I paid £40 for the Year subscription. definitely worth it with all the free games we’ve gotten. and I’l be renewing it when it runs out

are these going to be in hd or just look like upscaled genesis titles?

Awesome! I miss those games, even if they are the ‘old school’ style.

To be fair the actual SEGA Genesis Collection on PS2 has 30+ games on it and the Bluray Sonics Ultimate Genesis Collection has 40+ games and this is only 6 BUT if we’re getting these 6 for free with NEW trophies then it’s all good.

I don’t believe these are going to be in HD. But honestly I could care less for these. I loved them back in the day but there is no way I can get myself to play these compared to the graphics games have today.
About 2 years ago I replayed the original Half-Life and still don’t believe it was a great idea. I recently tried to play the old Deus Ex game and after about half an hour decided to call it quits. I just can’t do it and these games won’t be an exception. It’s great they they are going to PS+ subs though.

Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection/Sega MegaDrive Ultimate collection is cheap enough these days and has more games than just those listed above, plus the graphics have been given the slightest of HD makeovewrs which wasn’t the case with the PSN port of the Megadrive classic Gunstar Heroes – I reckon these will follow suit with the latter. However if they release a standalone Sonic 3 with trophies, I’ll get it no matter what, despite still owning the original Megadrive cartridge, and versions of it for PS2 (Sonic Mega Collection) and PS3 (Ultimate Collection, as above). Still my favourite game ever.
