PlayStation Plus members can save 10-percent on eight upcoming indie games when they launch on PlayStation 4 as part of Sony’s Spring Fever 2015 sale. Starting on March 3 with the release of Helldivers, one new game will be featured every week as it launches at a discounted price for the following two months.

PlayStation Store Spring Fever 2015 Lineup Trailer

Apart from Helldivers and Bastion, the games all feature lo-fi, pixelated visuals. Many of them draw inspiration from classics as well. Axiom Verge nods vigorously at the NES era of Metroid games, only it integrates glitches into the player’s toolbox. And Shovel Knight pairs the pogo play of DuckTales with the precision challenge of Mega Man.

Here is the list of which games will be on sale and when:

  • Helldivers (PS3, PS4, Vita; 3/3 – 3/9)
  • Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number (PS3, PS4, Vita; 3/10 – 3/16)
  • Jamestown+ (PS4; 3/17 – 3/23)
  • Metal Slug 3 (PS3, PS4, Vita; 3/24 – 3/30)
  • Axiom Verge (PS4; 3/31 – 4/6)
  • Bastion (PS4; 4/7 – 4/13)
  • Titan Souls (PS4, Vita; 4/14 – 4/20)
  • Shovel Knight (PS3, PS4, Vita; 4/21 – 4/27)

Along with the newly released games, every week is also set to bring sales on popular game and movie franchises, such as Saints Row and X-Men. See all of the details over on the PlayStation Blog.

Quick! This PS5 bundle just got an unprecedented price cut
The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

We didn't expect the PlayStation 5 Slim, the updated version of Sony's video game console, to go on sale this soon, but you can already get the PlayStation 5 Slim Marvel's Spider-Man 2 bundle from Amazon with a 20% discount. From its original price of $559, you'll only have to pay $449, which is a fantastic price for this gaming machine. PS5 deals always attract a lot of attention, so we expect this offer to get sold out quickly. If you want to take advantage of it, you're going to have to hurry in completing your purchase.

Why you should buy the PlayStation 5 Slim Marvel's Spider-Man 2 bundle
The PlayStation 5 Slim is more than just a slimmed-down version of the original PlayStation 5 -- though the difference is noticeable with 18% less weight and 30% less volume for the disc version. There's no performance upgrade between the PS5 Slim and PS5, and you'll be able to play all of the PlayStation 5 games on either model, but the PS5 Slim comes with a 1TB of storage with around 842GB usable, compared to 825GB with 667GB usable in the original PS5. That's nearly 200GB of extra space for your installed games, save data, and screenshots.

Unless you've got an absolute premium username or have too many linked accounts to name, there's no reason to stick with the same username forever. Unlike some services that offer limited username changes or charge to change your tag, Steam allows users to adjust their usernames at any time.

You don't have to keep that awful username you picked on some random Tuesday before hopping into a game. Here's how you can make a change.
