If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber and you love classic, gamer’s games, then this week is going to be a heck of a week for you.

On September 11th—aka tomorrow—PS+ subscribers will be getting two great games for free: The new tribute to retro side-scrolling beat-’em-ups Double Dragon Neon, and the not-quite-as-new-but-still-awesome tribute to retro side-scrolling beat’em-ups Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game.

If those two games weren’t enough, PS+ folks will also get early access to the updated re-release of Sega’s beloved groundbreaking Dreamcast release Jet Set Radio. Not only will those who are a part of PS+ get access to the game before anyone else, but they’ll also get a 10% discount on it.

There is one other deal coming tomorrow on PS+: 33% off the full game and bundle for Max Payne 3. The game itself will be $40.49 (typically $59.99), and the game + Rockstar Pass will be $60.74 (typically $89.98).
