This sounds pretty passive aggressive, especially flaw in quotations. I don't see how it is anything but a flaw, why shouldn't we be able to buy games we downloaded on ps plus.
Lets say 3 years from now I want to play one of those games I got from ps plus and at this point the vita releases are barren and there are no more games that I'm interested on ps plus. Then I'll be paying £40 a year just to keep access to those games and unable to buy them in sales in which they might be dirt cheap at that point. I only pay for ps plus for the vita anyway (and right now it is worth it) and I used to use it for the ps3 a lot, I will most likely never get a ps4 but for now the service is still worth paying for. They need to rectify this.



You know what I meant, who cares if I call it psn plus.

Here's your only solution: Don't "buy" the games when they're free then.
The idea with PS+ is that it's supposed to provide enough value that you'll never want to cancel it. Between your Vita/PS3/PS4, of course you'll pay $50/year for a ton of free content and all the extras (as well as for online play on the PS4).

Sony figures you already have it for free and if you want to keep it, you'll keep subscribing.

Or, in the future, you can just pick up cheap digital copies of the games you like as they get clearanced (if they're not PSN only digital games), and then you'll have a backup solution for some of your "collection".

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Yeah I'd love to know when I get the free ps+ games for Vita this month...

the last two weeks of each month are when the vita games are made available on the store. It has been like this for some time now for the US store.

the last week of the month. like every other ps+ free vita game

Thanks for the reply. Kinda defeats the purpose of them being Feb Ps+ games if they come out at the very end of the month. But whatever free is free.

You're one of those people who called Final Fantasy Versus XIII "Final Fantasy XIII Versus" aren't you?

I'm sorry but I fail to see why they don't allow me to just buy the games for real if I've gotten them from ps plus (well other than to trap me in the subscription forever). I don't want to be locked into the subscription forever, yes I know I don't HAVE to keep on subcribing but some really great games get put on there and if I leave the subcription in the future then I can't just buy those individual great games I may have gotten off of ps plus. This is a completely valid request, I don't see what's so controversial about it. I'm not going to avoid downloading the free games on ps plus because of this, but it is an option I would like to have.

 

[cyborg009]

Can't believe that you can get Phantasy Star Online 2 for free on the JP store. Any of you guys playing this?

Just started the download... Is the community any good?

You didn't know that? I mean its a f2p PC MMO.

Anyways RIP to your memory card...

Flaw is in quotes because of what he said after: most likely deliberate. It's definitely a flawed system on the consumer's part. We've discussed it before, but, yes, most of us would agree with you.

EDF 2017 portable is 10$ on psn, everyone should grab it

And Shahid will try to bring Broforce to the Vita

I think the bolded plays part in why. That, and they probably didn't design the store backend with multiple purchases of a game in mind. Plus came later so the store wasn't originally designed with this functionality in mind. Perhaps changing it is more trouble than it's worth.
I wonder what'd happen if you bought a key on something like Amazon and enter it when you have that game on Plus.
In fact, I bought the Oddworld Stranger's Wrath bundle, even though I have the PS3 version through Plus, in hopes of owning it but I never actually checked if it worked.

You're one of those people who called Final Fantasy Versus XIII "Final Fantasy XIII Versus" aren't you?

You're one of those people who still call Final Fantasy XV "Final Fantasy Versus XIII" aren't you?

 

[Takao]

Vita's store really needs a sale section. Does PS4's have one?

 

[Dragoshi1]

Wait, is Tales of Symphonia out now? Or is it a preorder sort of thing?

 

[maouvin]

Same date 2K had announced for BL2 Vita, aye? Interesting, I guess.

If only we had some sort of thread to let us know what was on sale and what not....

Called is past tense. gg I win

 

[ZeroAKA]

Called is past tense. gg I win

Call is present tense. GG I win.

Spoiler

Am I doing it right?

 

[Flightmare]

Yep

 

[Tizoc]

Yeah I'd love to know when I get the free ps+ games for Vita this month...

on US PSN, Vita games are offered at the end of the month for Vita owners, unlike EU PSN that gives you all the games on a set date.

 

[michaelius]

Yay my danganronpa got shipped today Now just a week or two more for delivery

 

[baekshi]

What the fuck guys, where is modnation

 

[Tizoc]

What the fuck guys, where is modnation

Vita games are offered at the end of a month for Plus members.
You don't want it anyways, it's crap.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Yep

Lol I knew that "mistake" was for reals.

 

[Shinriji]

Guys, TxK is the shit. Like the best vita game since Spelunky.

 

[ZeroAKA]

What the fuck guys, where is modnation

In the SEN store.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

*swoon*

 

[2+2=5]

Borderlands 2 date is a good news, but where are the screens? Looking at other Sony ports I expect sub native res, i hope it has at least a playable framerate...

 

[Rogue Agent]

Does the Vita have a Doom collection, similar to the future release of Duke Nukem 3D?

 

[EGOMON]

US PS store update is live! so many stuff for me to buy and download

 

[UtadaBarkley]

EDF 2017 portable is 10$ on psn, everyone should grab it

[Flightmare]

You won't regret it

Loved it on the Xbox. But that was many moons ago.

Oh

In the SEN store.

Oh I just realized it I found it anyway, thanks!

 

[KennyLinder]

Does anyone know what time the PS4 uploads your saves to PS+? On PS3 you could set the time in Settings on when you wanted it to do those things. I just checked my Uploads and the last one was on Sunday!:/

 

[corrosivefrost]

I thought Skullgirls Encore was supposed to be free for people who already bought Skullgirls?

 

[joe2187]

I thought Skullgirls Encore was supposed to be free for people who already bought Skullgirls?

There was a slight issue (skullgirls curse strikes again )

So I talked to Sony, and they said that the XMB message would go out tonight around 9-10 PST.

It was originally scheduled for last night, but the system can only send out vouchers for games that are already published. So we missed that.

And the XMB broadcasts always happen at that time, so it's not possible to change that.

Sorry for the unexpected additional wait.

 

[dallow_bg]

Ben 10: Galactic Racing is 2.99 for Vita.

I'll have to pass.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Earth defense Force vita for $10 bucks? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[joe2187]

YO!

CATHERINE for $10

GET ON THAT SHIT!

 

[perorist]

Earth defense Force vita for $10 bucks? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Is this worthwhile for singleplayer or will it be a mindless grind?

 

[Flandy]

YO!

CATHERINE for $10

GET ON THAT SHIT!

I'll wait for PS+. Eu got it a long time ago >:l

 

[Yukianesa]

Is this worthwhile for singleplayer or will it be a mindless grind?

Mindless grind for sure, but it's the fun kind of mindless grind. Blasting giant enemy bugs and alien robots high into the sky never really gets old... for at least a dozen hours or so. The variety of weapons is interesting, and there is a decent enough challenge in the later missions.

The game changes dramatically once you unlock Palewing. There's a lot more verticality and mobility in the character movements. You can fly! The weapon set is also different.

At $10 EDF is definitely worth the price of admission. I'm sure a few people would gladly go back to the multiplayer if you ask.

There's already a Weekly Deals page under the 'Featured' tab on the Vita store. Not on the PS4 to check but I'm sure it has something similar.

I paid full price for EDF twice. One copy for both me and my girlfriend and it was still worth every penny. I'd love to hop on for some online again whenever anyone is down for it.

PSN handle is Fireclad.

 

[Zephyx]

If only we had some sort of thread to let us know what was on sale and what not....

I think there is one if you use the Vita PSN Store. In the Featured tab, below the games and before some apps, there is a selection for Weekly Deals. All discounted games should be there.

EDIT: Misquote. Should have quoted the post you are replying to.

It does it whenever you put it on standby. At least, it should. When I put my PS4 on standby in between play sessions it'll sometimes upload my saves multiple times a day.
