PS+ : October Edition Thread | EU : Bulletstorm, RE 5, Hell Yeah | US : NFL Blitz

I guess that the 25% off the annual sub thing was fake? I've waiting and waiting but still nothing.
I think you forgot to flip your calendar to October...

From 5th to 19th September a 365 day subscription is on sale at 25% off – that’s €37.49/£29.99, down from €49.99/£39.99. Current subscribers take note – annual subscriptions stack, so you can also take advantage of the reduced price.
 
Well, people who don't have eclectic tastes probably shouldn't get Plus. I'm not being flippant either. I'm serious. If there are only certain genres a person likes, they should spend their money on those games directly and not on this wonderful service.
Disagree. LBP2, Infamous2, Just Cause2, R&C. The service really has something for everyone. I definately don't love ALL of their offerings(I was done with 2D fighters in the mid-90's), but its an absolute bargain at $50...especially in comparison to what i used to pay $50/yr for on XBL.
 
The store not working right for anyone else?

When I go to buy Resi 5 or Bulletstorm it takes me to a blank blue screen where the only option is to 'continue shopping'. It shows the blue icon next to the games as if I've bought them, though. Very strange.
 
Nice! I kind of prefer the obscure good games that the US gets. Many seem jealous of what the EU got but I bet many of us already played and completed those games. I've never played Blitz or the new KOF.

have you downloaded the 1hour trial before..? if that is so, then download the trial from your Download list, and play for an hour, then the game will work as a full freebie..!
 
It always has. At least for me. And I don't remember changing any settings.

Only times games ever installed for me when I used the download then shut off option. I guess it was fixed a some time ago then as that's what I mostly use no matter the size as I was sick of manually installing them.
 
It does? Never use to happen for me unless its something recently patched.

It doesn't when you let it download in background. You need to manually install by clicking on the "bubble".

It does when you don't download in background.
It does when you do download in background *and* set the system to automatically turn off when done.

Ok, seems to be a PS+ problem. My sub expired on Sunday but for some reason it didn't automatically renew like it's supposed to. Next to status, it says 'in use' and there is also still a Plus symbol next to my username. When I try to buy a new sub it gives me an error code.

Anyone know how to fix this?

has the money been withdrawn form your account..?
 
No, the only stuff in my transaction history for the past month have been €0.00 PS+ freebies.

[edit] Nevermind, solved it, it was a credit card problem. Never updated my CC info since I got a new card months and months ago. Oops.

Wait, I'm confused. Weren't people talking about Plus?

PS+ always installs the stuff it downloads through automatic update. I can put something up as a background download and then turn my PS3 off, then it'll turn on when it's time for the automatic update and it'll download and install that content. And stuff it downloads automatically, like patches, are also installed automatically.
 
All that crying from U.S members, I already own RE5 so I'd love to have kof xiii instead of bulletstorm. Things turned out better for you in the end IMO
 
Im trying to download some of my older PS+ stuff now that Ive got a bigger HDD but I keep getting the not enough free space on my HDD even though I have 15gb free according to System Information.

To be more specific I am trying to download Starhawk's single player campaign and it says its 9500mb. When I check under my System Settings it says I have 15gb free. Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with my PS3 or my 3rd party 120gb HDD? I wasnt sure where to seek help but I was hoping someone in here might know. I would greatly appreciate any and all help.

when you download something on psn it takes x2 the space to install

Yeah, but that is still kind of different than having what you download being instantly available to play like say Steam or XBLA.
 
And just like that my puzzle was solved. No one has to answer but I would like to hear the reasoning for why its setup like that.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking time to help me out, I greatly appreciate it.

It's just how Sony set it up for some reason, unlike XBLA or Steam, you are downloading an installer from PSN which then has to install the files hence the need for twice the space.

It is annoying, and doesn't make much sense when the download isn't even a compressed version, it is probably something silly they thought of for DRM or something that evidentially didn't turn out that way.

It's the same with most PC-programs isn't it? You download a file, then you use that file to install, then you can delete the file you downloaded. The installation will be about the same size as the downloaded file.
 
NA update this week.

Plus a sale.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012...y-the-heist-the-unfinished-swan-early-access/
 
So pretty much everything released under "Summer Preorder Sale" thingy is now free. Guess I can predict what will happened next year, and will know what to not buy next year.

Freaking SCEA.

Real talk - Is Ghostbusters worth $1.25?

I'm not sure I've heard a single good thing about it... but its Ghostbusters! I liked the console game from a few years ago
 
I already have Payday (which is a pretty fun game), but I'm really happy with the discounts this week. I'll definitely grab Off the Record and Monster World IV ($1 for MWIV. Wow).
 
inFAMOUS Festival of Blood $4.99 $2.50

Might get that if that sale appears in Europe. I've heard it's good but really short. To those who played it: can it be played stand-alone (like RDR's Undead Nightmare for instance)? I think I heard something about that being the case.

Thanks, I was going to format it but then I didn't bother. Also,

Monster World IV (Plus Price: $1.00 – 80% off) and SEGA Rally Arcade (Plus Price $2.99 – 70% off the regular store price of $9.99)

Yes, it's completely separate from InFAMOUS2. and it's fucking amazing.

Yes, it can be played stand alone. I played it and haven't played Infamous 1 or 2
 
Gonna pick up Festival of Blood and Monster World IV at those prices. I may get Plants vs Zombies for Vita as well at that price...crap Jet Set Radio(Vita) is being released this week isn't it? And then there is the Unifinished Swan. Gonna probably pick up all of these before the month up but tomorrow is going to be interesting as to what I decide to get first.

Pretty Big File too 2GB+

Fun with the new power up

Getting 100% isn't that hard

Nay, it really isn't. A weak top down shooter without much variety and lackluster design in terms of enemy placement and level builds makes it quite weak as compared to all the other good top down shooters there are on PSN.

It has the imagery to tell you it's Ghostbusters, but none of the charm or humour or fun.

I got the game free out of a GAME contest and it still wasn't worth it.
