PlayStation Network is about to get a whole lot sweeter, thanks to an initiative called PSN Day 1 Digital.
The new program, announced moments ago over at the official PS Blog, seeks to provide day-and-date digital releases of triple-AAA games right alongside their retail counterparts. On the same day that a game is launched at retail, you'll also be able to download it on PSN. PSN Day 1 Digital will also give you the opportunity to pre-order some of these titles, while PlayStation Plus members will enjoy a 10% discount off many of the games on offer.
The full line-up of Day 1 Digital games for the month of October has been unveiled. Check out the full list below, and let us know in the comments if you're excited for this promotion and whether you'll take advantage of the PlayStation Plus discounts, where applicable.

Wish I knew how much hard drive space RE6 will take up. I'm considering canceling my gamestop pre order and just buying it off PSN.

Its been a little while since i posted anything new on here although ive been an avid reader for a few years now, sharing both the ups and downs of the videogames industry as a whole. Now to focus my attention to this particular article, I understand DD is indeed where the industry is headed, im not sure we should rush into it. current ps3 software titles take a significant amount of hd space and consoles with slightly larger hard drives can fill up quite quickly. As games become bigger offering more options perhaps and evolving graphically then future software will only use more space. It's great that as of the moment we have the option and in my opinion should remain this way.

I'm grown more accustomed to the idea of digital games vs. physical copies, which will still always hold a fond place in my heart. Still, I hope these Day 1 Digital releases will feature pre-order bonuses in line with retail resellers.

Wow this is pretty friggin awesome!! Good on you Sony!
It helps us lazy people who don't want to go to the store and get harrased by employees trying to push more games and preorders on you.
Plus this gives even more incentive to be a PS Plus subscriber. And people say the PS3 is dying out? If anything, its as strong as ever.

Discounts off of brand new games are incredible incentive for PlayStation Plus and digital downloading. I still prefer physical, but this is mighty convincing. As rosa-rio said, it's great to have this as an option and not an ultimatum.
