PlayStation players should get their consoles ready, because a number of games are coming to the PlayStation Store as well as the latest lineup of the Spring Fever Sale. Six titles are coming to the PS4 alone.

This includes “Battlefield Hardline” sold in three different editions, including the Standard Edition ($59.99), the Deluxe Edition ($69.99) and the Ultimate Edition ($119.99). “Jamestown+” is also offered at $11.99 and the Complete Edition at $13.99. The other titles for the PS4 are listed over at the PlayStation Blog as follows:

- Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Digital Day One Edition ($59.99)

- Bladestorm: Nightmare with Bonus ($59.99)

- Cabela’s African Adventures ($39.99)

- Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires Free Alliances Version (free-to-play)

The PS3 also has a few new titles, including the three mentioned “Battlefield Hardline” editions, “5 Star Wrestling,” “The Awakened Fate Ultimatum” and “Tennis in the Face” among others. The PS Vita also has four titles, including one cross-buy with the PS3, “Tennis in the Face.”

The third week of the Spring Fever 2015 is also in full swing. The “Assassin’s Creed” franchise is taking the helm of the game sales. In particular, the PS4 is getting “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag” in Standard ($29.99) and Gold edition ($35), “Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry” ($6) and “Assassin’s Creed Unity” ($47.99). PlayStation Plus members stand a chance to get a bigger discount.

Apart from games, the PlayStation Vue has also just become available for the PS4 and PS3 in specific U.S. cities. According to PlayStation Lifestyle, PS4 and PS3 owners in Chicago, Philadelphia and New York can try out the cloud-based service today.

The PlayStation Vue starts at $49.99, which features the “Access” package of channels like AMC, Animal Planet, BET, CBS, Comedy Central, Fox, FX, MTV, NBC, TBS, TNT and USA, among others. Two other packages are offered to add more channels. The first is the $59.99 Core package, which adds some regional sports networks, while the Elite $69.99 package includes the channels in the previous two packages plus 25 more channels.

A weekly trial is also available for the three cities. In the future, the report states that Sony is going to bring it to more territories, as well as add in support for the iPad.

Interestingly, the PlayStation Vue comes out just shortly after Microsoft announced the Sling TV for the Xbox One. Both services are aimed at providing console players with a way to watch TV shows, movies and sports without a cable subscription.
