Sony has released its usual weekly update on what special offers are headed to US PlayStation Plus members this week. Headlining is a small discount on Need for Speed: Most Wanted should you drop a pre-order in the week before launch; it’s only $6 but that’s a coffee and a cake you might otherwise miss. An exclusive timed trial for Medal of Honor: Warfighter is the other big ticket, but visit the PS Blog for details of a few other goodies, notably 80% off Wonder Boy in Monster Land, a game which has rendered me near unconscious with sweaty nostalgia simply at the mention of the title.
