Sony has announced a new program called PSN Play, which is similar if not a rip off of Xbox’s Summer of Arcade. Sony will be offering four games this summer of… er… For PSN’s Play, Street Fighter III Third Strike Online Edition which will be available on August 23 for $15; the latest DeathSpank adventure The Baconing available August 30 for $15; BloodRayne: Betrayal, available for $15 on September 6; and Renegade Ops, available on September 15 for $15. If you purchase all four titles you’ll be gifted Payday: The Heist when the game releases later on in the summer or you can pick it up separately for $20. Some differences from XBLA’s Summer of Arcade and PSN’s Play is that you’re able to pre-order games, and with the pre-order of each game comes DLC like a free PS3 theme, a DLC fighter for Street Fighter III, a bonus co-op character for The Baconing, a PlayStation Home goodie for Bloodrayne: Betrayal, and some extra vehicles and weapons for Renegade Ops. PlayStation Plus subscribers get 20% off every Play program purchase.
