[Live Free or Die]

Gonna need a 32GB card now.

 

[Curufinwe]

There's something I've never understood...Are games downloaded for free thanks to PS+ playable after subscription's expiration?

No.

 

[Jucksalbe]

I wanted Wipeout. Looks like I'll have to buy it

Or wait. I think it's pretty safe to say that this will come to EU PS+ sooner or later.

 

[Dantis]

The bad thing is, SCEA's offerings will probably go downhill from here, while SCEE's offerings will get better...

But SCEA killed it this time, at least for the start.

But even so, SCEA has six games, whilst SCEE only has three.

Strangely disappointing.

 

[Brera]

SCEA, for once, has a much, much better selection than SCEE.

In Europe we lose Wipeout, JSR and FFT and gain... Chronovault.

Fuck! Order cancelled :-(

 

[the_korben]

It's a subscription service. Free games, cloud storage, and automatic updates expire with your subscription. If your resubscribe, you regain access to past games obtained during your previous subscription. Discounted games that you pay for are yours indefinitely.

Do the "instant game collection" games remain there forever or are they dropping games every now and then? It would really suck to get invested in a game and then have it removed from the list.

 

[Kusagari]

And I am now glad I have PS+.

Holy shit that's awesome. The PS3 games have all been stuff I mostly had, but the Vita, outside of Gravity Rush, will all be new to me!

Whee!

 

[The_Monk]

And... you can still download these from the PS3 storefront, right? I might have to start stockpiling these until I get a Vita on the cheap.

:0

I can download them even if I don't have a Vita so when I get one I'll be getting all the games I downloaded in the past?

:0

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I was planning on getting a Vita eventually for DJ Max, whenever that comes out, but considering I'm already a Plus subscriber this news makes that acquisition a higher priority. I wonder if there'll be any decent deals on the system for Black Friday.

 

[WrenchNinja]

...I should get a bigger memory stick.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

Looks like I'm buying a bigger memory card.

 

[BadWolf]

There's something I've never understood...Are games downloaded for free thanks to PS+ playable after subscription's expiration?

Nope, they are playable as long as you have a subscription.

If your subscription runs out then you can't play those games. If you re-subscribe then you gain access to them again.

 

[thiscoldblack]

Vita, redeemed.

This is very great news for us, Vita owners. I hope this drive more hardware sales.

 

[gofreak]

Shit. I just remembered I'm not using a Mac mini instead of a Windows PC.

There's no content manager client for OSX yet, right?

_sad panda_

Once you download a game and it's a part of your history, you're free to download it whenever, as long as you have an active PS+ subscription.

 

[PaulLFC]

Time to announce a 64GB card, Sony.

 

[Shikoro]

Discounted Black Friday / Christmas Vita bundles + FW 2.0 + Vita PS+ = Vita 2.0

It really is, haha. Vita really should have its Christmas now this Christmas.

Also, I don't know how I'm gonna cope with a 4GB card anymore. OTL

 

[TwoDurans]

If you "purchase" them while they're free they're yours so long as you're a PSPlus member. You're free to delete them and redownload at your whim

 

[MoogPaul]

Cool. Games that 99% of Vita owners have already. Sweet deal brah.

 

[diffusionx]

I've been wavering so hard on picking up a Vita since it's release. As a PS+ member this makes it almost impossible for me to resist.

If only all of the black friday $200 deals were for the AC combo instead of the CoD combo. Maybe I don't care. Maybe all of the DL games would require a 32gb card which I do care about dropping another $100 on. Where are the BF deals on those?

So very very tempting. Something tells me I'll have a Vita before Christmas.

Nice move Sony. Nice move.

FWIW, I got a 32gb card from Amazon for $75. Not a huge difference, but a difference.

 

[V_Ben]

Shit. I just remembered I'm not using a Mac mini instead of a Windows PC.

There's no content manager client for OSX yet, right?

_sad panda_

There's a content manager client for OS X I use it

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

they better start getting more games on vita, because they're gonna run out of games if they keep offering so many lol

 

[Jhriad]

Holy Fuck.

Why'd Sony have to tempt me into buying a Vita? This is already going to be an expensive holiday season.

 

[Omikaru]

Gutted we don't get JSR as well as Wipeout in the EU. I hope they come at a later date.

 

[Dead Prince]

Don't forget to buy like 5 32GB memory card. check black friday deals for a good deal on it.

 

[Tobor]

The Plus game lineup is seriously awesome, but...

...where the FUCK ARE THE FOLDERS? Come on, Sony!

 

[RedNumberFive]

So does that COD Vita bundle really have the COD logo across the back of the handheld? That might be a deal killer for me on that bundle.

 

[prwxv3]

looks like Sonys plan to increase Memory card sales is working

 

[Toki767]

Once you've downloaded a game from the Instant Game Collection, you can redownload it for free anytime even if it's taken off the list.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Time to announce a 64GB card, Sony.

Would be as expensive as the Vita! =P

 

[Live Free or Die]

Just noticed Dungeon Defenders for PS3.

 

[btkadams]

There's something I've never understood...Are games downloaded for free thanks to PS+ playable after subscription's expiration?

think of the subscription as the unlock key for all of the ps+ free games. as soon as it expires, your games lock and you can't play them. once you renew your subscription, your ps+ games will be unlocked again. any ps+ game that you download will remain in your history, so you don't have to worry about unsubscribing for a few months and losing any games you had before.

 

[gofreak]

You don't even need to download it. Just check it out.

I have a tonne of stuff on PS3 on my download list from PS+ that I haven't actually downloaded...yet.

 

[Derrick01]

He looks like he has Lego hair. Like you can grab it and pop it right off of his head.

The bad thing is, SCEA's offerings will probably go downhill from here, while SCEE's offerings will get better...

But SCEA killed it this time, at least for the start.

Yeah this feels like how the first month of the revamped PS3 PS+ went. A ton of games and then almost nothing for months. But I'll enjoy this while it lasts.

 

[Shadow780]

Cool. Games that 99% of Vita owners have already. Sweet deal brah.

It's probably more geared towards attracting new buyers, since only 10 people has Vita.

 

[18-Volt]

Yay! Free JSR! Too bad I've already got the other games.

 

[The Elite]

I have the Game Cards for Wipeout and Uncharted. Might download them and trade those in. Sweet deal!

 

[gofreak]

Really? I didn't know that. I thought you 'reset' when you unsubscribed.

That's awesome if it remembers games from a previous sub though. Really, really awesome.

 

[SGRU]

Do you guys know if the saved games of the retail versions will work with the downloaded versions as well?

 

[spats]

Don't forget to buy like 5 32GB memory card. check black friday deals for a good deal on it.

They should make a hardware accessory where you can stick in like 8 memory cards at once and it clips on the top, adding two additional shoulder buttons.

99€/$99

 

[Ran rp]

The Rebirth

Spoiler

lol

 

[Byronic Hero]

And now I've bought a Vita.

Been meaning to get one for a while, now I actually have a reason.

 

[TwoDurans]

I have the Game Cards for Wipeout and Uncharted. Might download them and trade those in. Sweet deal!

Be careful with that. From my experience with the PS3 version of PSPlus, gamesaves didn't translate from discs to digital download. I'm hoping that won't be the case with the Vita, but it's always a possibility.

 

[Toki767]

The Rebirth

Spoiler

lol

More like the fire sale. Kidding.

 

[Seda]

Cool. Games that 99% of Vita owners have already. Sweet deal brah.

I don't have any of these games.

 

[Sendou]

Awesome!

I hope EU PS+ for Vita gets some PSP and PS1 love too.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Good shit sony...good shit.

Completely surpassed my expectations. I was expecting Wipeout and a bunch of psp games but this is awesome stuff.

JSR and wipeout shall be mine!

 

[Caelestis]

I am very tempted to sign up for PS+ now like never before.

 

[jcm]

Any Black Friday deals for mem cards? All I have is the 4GB that came with my bundle.

 

[Dead Prince]

Cool. Games that 99% of Vita owners have already. Sweet deal brah.

what about the 99% that doesn't own a vita.
