Sony announces an exclusive "Only on PSN" program to start on October 4th and lasts for the entire month.
Included in the promotion is an XBLA-like "Summer of Arcade" experience with certain PSN games getting the spotlight and focus to go along with a bunch of PS2 games arriving on the service.

Also revealed is Playstation Plus members will get a 20% off discount on every game bought and if $60 or more is spent, Sony will give away $10 free as a gift to spend on more PSN stuff. The $10 free offer covers everything on PSN and not just games.
The list of PSN-related games covered for the promotion are:
* Eufloria (October 4)
* Sideway: New York (October 11)
* Sodium Collection (October 13)
* Okabu (October 18)
* RocketBirds (October 18)
* inFAMOUS 2: Festival of Blood (October 25)
* PixelJunk Sidescroller (October 25)
The bad news concerning the PS2 games are none are remastered to HD graphics, no actual changes were done to the game and play "as-is", and no trophy support nor any multiplayer support is provided due to the games being a straight port. Also no prices for the PS2 games were announced by Sony.

Quick News Round-Up:
1) Update on Bethesda vs Mojang lawsuit as Bethesda flat out refused to accept Mojang's offer to drop the "Scrolls" name and rename their game. Zenimax, Bethesda's parent company is unwilling to reach a settlement and wants the courts to both prove they own the exclusive rights to the "Scrolls" name and huge legal fees to make an example out of Mojang to other companies.
2) Ubisoft confirms Assassin's Creed III will be arriving next year with the plot based on the 2012 Doomsday scenario and the main story involving Desmond Miles could be finished. The company also mentioned that the game wouldn't mean the end of the franchise with new storyline cycles planned for the future.
3) Valve announces those who have pre-ordered Rage for Steam can now pre-load the game starting today before the official release date of October 4th. The game is around 21.5 GB in size and Valve is strongly recommending the pre-load option so that those who pre-ordered can play it without worrying about everyone else trying to download the game at the same time this Tuesday.
