But my PS+ expires this month or next


and i don't have a vita, damn i want to play gravity rush and jet grind radio on vita


but i have PS3 so i can finally play scott pilgrim

I think you can access the Vita games from the PS Store on the PS3 as well. This way you can "buy" the games so that they are added to your download list. This way they will always be there (as long as you have a PS+ subscription of course) in case you buy a Vita in i.e a year from now.

 

[Takuan]

That's a start. Memory cards are going to be filling up right quick.

 

[KalBalboa]

I was expecting PSone classics and PSP games. Dayum.

 

[Carl]

Quick question: Does the game become unplayable after your sub runs out/you go offline?

Not if you go offline

 

[bigmit3737]

Are there any other benefits to PS+ besides the games?

And I see Wireless PC connection as a feature. Can someone explain in more detail what this is used for? I'm a little confused.

 

[Toma]

No.

Well it does if the sub runs out and he hasnt resubbed.

 

[GitarooMan]

Almost bought Gravity Rush so many times, this is great

 

[magawolaz]

uncharted is ace. The gyro aiming is genius.

THIS. This so much.

I want gyro aiming for every game. Even more now since Uncharted 3 aiming is still broken

Quick question: Does the game become unplayable after your sub runs out/you go offline?

I'm fairly sure that, if your sub runs out, the games will stop working. Haven't tested it so I don't really know.

You can DEFINITELY play free games offline, however.

Back your saves up to the cloud
PS3/Vita turns on at a set time and downloads game patches/syncs trophies/auto uploads game saves

 

[Himynameischris]

Gravity Rush but ugh my 8 gig card just isn't cutting it. Damn it Sony!

Discounts , online saves etc

 

[spats]

Fuck PS Rental service. The bigger news here is they're doing an e-mail app. Something I wanted a few months ago! OMG Yosp listens!?

Maybe he'll patch in the universal screendump/screenshot function into games like Call of Duty and Marvel against their will? Maybe I'll get an eBook reader app finally!?

OMG!? OMG!? OMG!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

You should join the plusbros. It's really nice and cozy here. <3

 

[SoulPlaya]

Are these the only games?

 

[Bankoiia]

Same here. Now I'm glad I waited.

 

[Torraz]

Now to decide whether to play gravity rush or uncharted first. First world problems ahoy.

 

[Toki767]

Are these the only games?

They'll be switched monthly.

 

[Carl]

Sorry, i missed that part. was talking about the online bit. Edited for clarity.

 

[prwxv3]

Cloud saves. Automatic updates for firmware and patches, automatic trophy syncs, and discounts.

 

[Midou]

Sweet, I wanted at least 3 of those games but passed on them, already have a subscription, so that's pretty cool.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Given that all the games being offered are old, I suppose it's possible that they aren't losing money.

Actually it´s because what SCEA said a while back. That the subscriptions increased significantly after E3 on the PS3. Why would they be trying to get more subs if the service is losing money? It does not make sense. PS+ most definitely provide Sony and their third party partners profit, and the service serves as an advertisement to sequel, since they offer sometimes prequel games for free for plus, so people can buy sequels. This service is really win win for everyone.

 

[Schrödinger's cat]

SCEA beating SCEE in PS+ offerings. As a Euro PS+ subscriber I really can't complain.

This is off to a promising start. I hope Sony get some Vita momentum and capitalise on it.

 

[Hesemonni]

Lazy d00d here.

PS+ users both old and those subscribing for the service get to download those games for the price of PS+ monthly fee, but do they stay playable next month?

 

[Saint Gregory]

I'm fairly sure that, if your sub runs out, the games will stop working. Haven't tested it so I don't really know.

I think that the way it works is the games are set to expire when your sub is set to expire/renew.

At least that's what happened to me, I had to re-download a few games that I received during my first year.

 

[Empty]

damn, own all the european ones except chronovolt which i will give a try. wipeout will inevitably be the next choice for europe too and i've played that too. still great value given that i subscribed to plus solely for the ps3 stuff.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Wonder if this update fixes the clock and adds printer support.

 

[Toma]

Lazy d00d here.

PS+ users both old and those subscribing for the service get to download those games for the price of PS+ monthly fee, but do they stay playable next month?

If you are still subscribed next month, yes.

 

[Kiraly]

JESUS FUCK SONY ARE YOU FOR REAL

 

[TheSeks]

I am

Spoiler

for a month, when this launches only for Uncharted and Wipeout

. Service is mostly terrible for what they give you. If I already had Uncharted and Wipeout this update would be a wash. So...

 

[Acquiescence]

Gravity Rush is too fine a game to be free. It just seems so wrong.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Err... yeah, this is good! Time to trade in my games?

 

[nny]

nny let me know if you ever find a good deal in here! (PT)

Sure thing! I'll probably get the Assassin's Creed pack; I fear there won't be any deals for that.

 

[Hesemonni]

If you are still subscribed next month, yes.

That's like... a really good deal, damn.

How's the PSN security nowadays?

 

[kuYuri]

This is amazing. Is it possible to add these games to my download list from my PS3? I'd like to have these on my account whenever I eventually get a Vita.

 

[Eusis]

Uhh, wow. And of course I own or cleared most of those Vita games, and I guess I may as well have gotten Jet Set Radio on the PS3 afterall. Still, very nice! Just have to find out what happens with save data, don't want my tiny save files to be absorbed permanently into larger installs.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Good god, this is amazing! Too bad EU doesn't get JSR and wipeout, but still way better than I expected. I love my Vita even more now

 

[Toma]

That's like... a really good deal, damn.

How's the PSN security nowadays?

lol, no complaints since the big disaster a while ago.


Btw, you can decide not to resub too, and once you do a few months later you still have access to the games you got through ps+ earlier.

This is amazing. Is it possible to add these games to my download list from my PS3? I'd like to have these on my account whenever I eventually get a Vita.

Yes, buying for free during the PS+ offer on the PS3 is enough too.

 

[Spiegel]

Okay Sony, you got me. Buying 3 months of PSN+ and downloading the Vita games on my PS3 for when I eventually purchase the system.

 

[Toki767]

Well there isn't much else they can offer considering cross game voice chat and online multiplayer are free.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I hope the update for the browser auto opens YT links in the YT app.

Probably not though.

 

[alterno69]

Niice, i will now keep my Vita i currently have for sale online lol, guess that means i'm selling my 360 once i'm done with H4

Great move by Sony.

 

[Canis lupus]

I hope the update for the browser auto opens YT links in the YT app.

Probably not though.

The browser gets updated? Is that the one mentioned in the html5 thread?

 

[Domcorleone]

FUCK. I sold my Vita last week. MY gosh.

 

[RoboPlato]

Holy fuck. Literally every game I would want to play on Vita is free.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Clever, clever Sony.

Increases vita sales.
Increases memory card sales.
Gives US a better deal than EU, increases plus sales.

Well done.

 

[Toma]

FUCK. I sold my Vita last week. MY gosh.

...
Its been known for WEEKS that this will come rather soonish. Anyone selling their Vita in the last month or so deservedly gets punished.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Not sure. Just going by what's in the OP.

 

[TheSeks]

Well there isn't much else they can offer considering cross game voice chat and online multiplayer are free.

They could at least give me a discount for the insta-free games I like them enough so I can keep them after my rental service expires something they still don't do in the store because the store thinks you "own" it.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Clever, clever Sony.

Increases vita sales.
Increases memory card sales.

Well done.

I have a feeling this isn't going to dramatically move units. PS+ has been great as a value, but it hasn't helped Sony to move more PS3's, or if it has, they'd have been WAAAAY down compared to what they are now.

It all depends on how aggressive they advertise it.
