PlayStation Plus Thread: Plus What? PLUS EVERYTHING!

Not open for further replies.
Hmmm I want to sign up for PS Plus and receive the June rewards but I am away from my PS3 for a while. I don't suppose there is anyway to do it from my web browser and have them queue up like Xbox.com's marketplace?
 
It does not happen often, but corrupted game save files is another reason I just always turn on auto save to online the 1st time I start a game, I just leave the auto update 4am so I never notice it. I manage the online space after a few weeks just by deleting the saves that are so close in time to each other.

good idea; i'll start doing this next week in the Store Update posts

Well, I know I held off on the Uncharted's because I expect them to be free PS Plus games at some point.

They had Sly 1 recently though, I suspect next month maybe Sly2 and/or Sly 3. Maybe even the GoW collection.

Or hopefully games people don't already have.
 
How big are Uncharted 1 and 2 anyways? Didn't ND talk about using the full 50gb disc or something?
AFAIK, 3 is the only one that uses a dual layered disc. 1 and 2 were single layer disc. I think I remember Arne stating that the reason why the pre rendered cutscenes in 2 had noticeable compression artifacts was cause they were running low on disc space and it was too late into development to switch to a dual layered disc.
 
Those sales are terrible. Steam just took 75% and 80% off of 2 games today and I can get both of them for less than the price they're putting Journey on "sale" for. MS and Sony have a long way to go on DD.

UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune
File size 21.1 GB

UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves
File size 20.8 GB

When the day comes that I download these, it will not be a pleasant day.
 
New to PS+ here. If I DL now, check out a game then delete it from my HDD, I'll always be able to re-DL it later, so long as I subscribe -- correct?
 
So from this first month of the revamp it looks like the only update worth looking forward to now is the first one of the month.

that's really been the case for the last year or so... for the first year you got your ps3 game week one and your ps1 game week 3, but for a while now it's just been all of your free games the first week and maybe another free game later.

I guess before I joined it seemed as if every other week there freebies going up and in between there were the discounts.

Journey is one of the highest selling games on PSN. Sony would be fools to give it any more of a discount.

I know but the other sales are even worse. I look at the sales PSN gets, MS giving 50% at best cuts at times and Nintendo offering like 20% off on the eshop and I just can't help but shake my head in disappointment. They want to push into DD but they're not following the leader's example in how to do it right.
 
Some PS3 large like games ship with multiple languages on the disc and all those can be stipped out as well.

And trailers too. I think Uncharted also included trailers for some other games if I remember right. 3-5 trailers can be an easy 1-2 GB if they are high quality.

they've had plenty of sales where they've had 50+% off

the Uncharted games include those as separate downloads, without them the games are actually 18GB & 19GB respectively

Yup, as long as you complete the checkout process

The phrasing for the full-game PSPlus titles in Europe implies that that's not the case:

If you're a PlayStation Plus member, you can download this item at no extra cost and it's yours to keep until your subscription ends. (Item available for members to download until: 04/07/2012.)

I'm wondering if they might have a different policy for them, but I don't know what the phrasing was like in the past. It may simply be that they're using 'download' to mean 'claim', but taken literally, it does suggest that you have to actually have it on your hard disc before the expiry time.

Well, my experience is that you keep the content as long as you subscribe, and also if you quit and re-subscribe later. Last year, everyone got a free month of PS+ and at the time Burnout Paradise was free for subscribers. I only had the game for that month and deleted it when the month was over, and it was also removed from my download list. Last night, I bought a one year subscription and Burnout Paradise popped back into my download list.

That's exactly what they mean.
 
I wonder what free games we'll get next month. Big Games like Infamous 2 or Warhammer Space marine seem hard to top.
The 3 games that are coming down on Tuesday are DD-only so I expect the 3 new ones to also be DD-only.

I hope not. I want at least 1 new blu ray game. PSN stuff doesn't do anything for me usually, not even in trophies since there's only 10-12 most of the time.
 
So after 2 weeks of being a subscriber I have tried most of the free games. Motorstorm is brilliant and is something I normally wouldn't but I'm glad I've been given the chance to. I'm not sure about Darksiders though, it feels like a God of War knock off.

You're very wrong about Darksiders. It's a Zelda knock off.
 
Did they stop giving away a free ps1 classic every month?

We haven't decided to never do PS1 Classics ever again or anything, but for now you may see more emphasis on PSN and PS3 Full Games. But again, there's no philosophy in place that says 'never again'. =)

If you feel strongly about it, make sure you comment on the PS Blog in next week's update (slated for Monday at 11a PST) to ensure you're heard.
 
yeah you literally could start the download, then cancel it, and it will be available to you to download as long as you're a member.

You don't even need to start the download. Just add to cart and check out. I've been doing this for all my free stuff and only grab it when I actually want to play

Yes, I read about this and tried it with the whole last batch and it works.

Only downloaded a couple and tagged everything else for the future via checkout.

Would getting a PS1 game reduce us getting something else?

Like if you guys put a PS1 game on there, would that mean we would lose out on a PSN game?
