PlayStation Plus Extra and Plus Premium have been made available in the USA at last. Resident Evil: Director’s Cut has emerged as one of the surprise inclusions in the Premium lineup exclusive to the US as of yet.

The PlayStation Store describes the title as being enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. It’s yet to be confirmed whether or not the release is going to receive Trophy support.
