PlayStation Plus Thread: Plus What? PLUS EVERYTHING!

Since I already own Wipeout I decided to check more PSN games and it turns out Critter Crunch and LBP Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves are also listed as free but not in the Plus section.

Nice. Definitely jump on Critter Crunch if you don't have it, people.

Critter Crunch is listed as 6.99 I just checked (US store).

Weird since it still shows up as free for me.

Ok, what do y'all want changed in the OP?

If they keep putting up images showing the monthly deals, like I see on SCEA's blog, that's easy enough to swap out occasionally. But, honestly, when you read the schedule of how they intend to change things, I'm not going to be able to keep up with both SCEE and SCEA's updates. Sorry, real life and kids to feed and all that.

I think Carl's description of the rotation for games is a good one to add. Anything else?

What's that?

On a slightly related note, is there a way to turn around in LBP2? I'm stuck in one of the "cupcakegun" levels, and it's the only thing I can think of to get past a certain obstacle.

I think the most important thing right now are listing the free games (for US/EU-rest) regions) right now, how they rotate (from Carl) and when/how they expire.
Then the other stuff you already have up there. Thanks JVM.

A small level pack of Move-focussed levels; it's on the LBP2 disc, but I assume not part of the DD version?

'turn around'? Can you describe a little more? Screenshot? I don't get what you mean.

Is this just because you own it from the past or something? Same for those who saw Wipeout for free.

I ask this because I checked (US as well) and neither Wipeout or Critter Crunch is free for me, however, I get that same exact screen shown here when I click on Burn Zombie Burn which was part of PS+ last year.

That said there doesn't seem to be any consistency because out of that batch of freebies (which also had Costume Quest and Dead Nation) clicking on those does not take to me a similar screen.

Only thing I can figure is a few games from past PS+ that we already own randomly have this screen, as Wipeout, Critter Crunch, Prehistoric moves, and BZB were all past PS+ offerings. Would make sense for me to not see Crunch and Wipeout as I was not a PS+ member when those were free.

Ah, no use for me then, as I don't have the controller.

I mean turn facing left instead of right. It doesn't seem to do so when I'm holding the gun, eventhough it does so normally. Perhaps it's a bug, or I'm doing something wrong?

Use the right stick to aim the 'cupcakegun'? Aim left and you'll face left. Aim right and you'll face right.

Could be however Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves also showed up for me and that I didn't own.

That's exactly what it means. Anything with a blue symbol means it's currently sititng in your cart. And the red bag means you "purchased" it before, whether through psn plus or otherwise. It's free because you already "purchased" it before and can be downloaded at any time. That's why the price shows $6.99 on the screen that was posted, that's the price but you already "purchased" it.

We're not really talking about that specifically. If you look at the screen shot that was linked for Critter Crunch it has the free tag as a purchase below the normal purchase.

That screen pops up after you click on the game inside the store. What's weird about it is that not every game takes you to a screen like that. In my case the only game that did was Burn Zombie Burn, but other PS+ games just took me to the normal screen with the info blurb on the right and the option to buy it on the left of the screen.

Heck, I went and checked all the current PS+ freebies and they don't take you to a screen like that either. This is a case of PSN store being weird.
 
Critter Crunch and Wipeout HD have always been odd like that, they show up as free but only to the people that already own them.

Ah, missed that part. Either way it seems to only be for people who got it free before.
 
Heh, sorry for causing all of this fuss then. Someone tweeted that Wipeout was free with a pic, so i thought you'd all want to know.
 
Carl said:
I doubt it, what with the extra discount there :P

I stand corrected

LOL I didnt expect it to be one of them either, was just being greedy :)

Great news though, now does that mean it will be £1.99 off i take it? If so than that should mean Unit 13 for £13 (LOL), sounds great to me :)
 
Even if you have no interest in playing a game that's listed free for PSPlus, it's a good idea to "purchase" it. You don't have to download it, but down the road if you change your mind it'll still be free.

No, doesn't seem to be

Someone in the comments said:
How will the PS+ discount work with the Inside PS Vita discount, will they be stacked (i.e. £14.99 and then 10% off with plus) or will it just be the lowest price of the two which would be the Inside PS Vita price.


Andy Stewart said:
I am trying to get confirmation on this however I don’t believe they stack and you will just get the cheapest price out of the two. However if they do stack then even better!
At this rate I might as well just give Unit 13 away… (that is a joke, I would not give such a good game befoer you guys get any ideas )

Just read that too, but in my experience i would hope it would stack considering how PS+ works since its just considered the base price with PS+ deals.

Although saying that, they might do it like the £5 discount for pre-ordering the Vita, once you use the code the base price converts to the discounted price and then they take away the PS+ discount?!

Here's hoping :)

Maybe? Fingers crossed i suppose. Even if not. £15 is still a great price.
 
Pretty noob question. I just subscribed to the service, and it says I have to download the game to keep the game for free. Does that mean I have to press the download button, or do I have to wait for each game to download completely on my console?

Just add them all to your basket and complete the checkout process. Done.
 
I have a bit of a noob question, but if I let my subscription lapse for a month or so, if I was to resubscribe would I be able to redownload my cloud saves?
