If you've been waiting for a reason to blow a whole bunch of money on the PlayStation Network, October's your month. Sony's kicking off its "Only on PlayStation Network" program this week, and it's packing big games, discounts and – for the first time outside of HD remakes – downloadable PS2 games. Exclusive games such as Infamous 2: Festival of Blood and PixelJunk SideScroller will arrive every Tuesday in October (full calendar below), and if you spend $60 from your PSN wallet this month, you'll receive $10 in November. PlayStation Plus subscribers get 20 percent off the new games during their respective launch weeks.

Perhaps most interesting is that for the first time outside of HD collections, PlayStation 2 titles will be available on the PlayStation Network. This Tuesday -- October 4th -- will see God Hand, GrimGrimoire, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, Odin Sphere and Ring of Red arrive on the PSN. These won't pack PSN Trophies or enhanced visuals. These are the games as they appeared on the PS2.

As for those PSN exclusive games, here's the weekly breakdown...


October 4: Eufloria and a PS+ Rochard Discount


October 11: Sideway: New York


October 13: Sodium Collection for PlayStation Home


October 18: Okabu and RocketBirds


October 25: Infamous 2: Festival of Blood and PixelJunk SideScroller
