I kinda wish the polls were still public. I started keeping track of them during December and only once was "Nothing for Me this week" not the top choice (Street Fighter IV was the game that week).

EU would be like 99% satisfied
US would be "nothing for me this week" 99% of the time

 

[Stabby McSter]

So if I cancel, can I just renew later and get back access to all the games I downloaded? Subscriptions confuse me. :x

 

[Goldrusher]

Yes.

 

[Vashetti]

Yup.

Anything you "buy" and put into your download list you can get back again.

 

[Jotamide]

I'd give up on all freebies this week for a Persona 4 Arena discount.

This plus a sale on the DLC would've made my week.

 

[Revan]

I never buy digital so please excuse my ignorance with this question.

If a game is scheduled to release on a Tuesday, is the game available at midnight or does one need to wait for the PSN refresh that happens before you can purchase and download?

For example: Say I want to get Aliens: Colonial Marines tomorrow. Will it be available at midnight tonight or do I need to wait for the refresh that can happen at any point in time during the day tomorrow?

 

[Callibretto]

is alien breed the same as the psmobile version? I already have that one.

They usually only do that for "big" games. Aliens will probably be not one of them.

Gotcha - thanks for the help!

 

[Duffyside]

My PS+ subscription runs out on Tuesday. Kind of nice know I don’t need to re-up this week

If they add something nice for vita next month I might jump back in

I'm sure they're scrambling to make this happen as we speak.

Hey everyone I think this week's update stinks totally cant wait for my sub to lapse just making sure all of Gaf knows that every week.

GAF, and all the Sony employees, which we know spend all their time pouring over our every word, as we're super-important.

Until you move to Europe. Then it would flip.

 

[netguy503]

Or get a year membership to EU ps plus for $40 (rather than $63 and cheaper than a year in the US) and have the best of both worlds. Hurry offer ends this week I believe.

 

[ZenaxPure]

Closure looks like a fine game and all but I am just soooooooo tired of puzzle-platformers nowadays. It still looks more mechanically interesting than most though.

 

[zroid]

Oh wow I've been meaning to get Critter Crunch for a long time. That's a Capy joint, right? $1.40 is a steal.

 

[krpiper]

is NHL any good? Also I'm in for Critter Crunch for 1.40

 

[Strange in Stereo]

Agreed. I played Limbo and Knytt Underground recently so I won't be playing Closure anytime soon, but it's a good addition since it's a game I don't have.

 

[Roto13]

Everyone should buy Critter Crunch.

 

[Oyashiro]

Back when I had an iPhone, I would play Critter Crunch on it all the time. Super fun game and really cute, definitely recommend it.

 

[Roto13]

I didn't like Closure when it was a browser game. Will I like it now that it's a PSN game?

 

[Valkyria]

This is really weird, it's the first time in history where is better to have a Pal system than a NTSC/U.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

I'm sure they're scrambling to make this happen as we speak.

I sure hope so!

 

[Ridley327]

It's a totally different game centered around the same concept. Like, nothing from the browser version exists. It's a much more tightly-made game, and it has a killer soundtrack to boot.

For $40 I'm kind of tempted. Is this deal on the EU Store?

 

[MiKeD]

I cannot believe I'm getting Sleeping Dogs for free right after I did that 30day Free trail thingy. I was still on the fence for this game...

 

[Roto13]

I'll probably give the PS3 version a try, then. Can't hurt.

 

[dripdripsplash]

This service is the most amazing thing, ever! I was thinking of buying Sleeping Dogs a couple of days ago. Haven't had turned on my PS3 for a long time.

"Hmm... Let's check what's new on PSN."

Sleeping Dogs... For free...

PLUS.

 

[Camjo-Z]

Apparently i have Closure in my Steam library somehow (a Humble Bundle or something? don't remember buying it) so it looks like there is nothing all that exciting for me this week...

Spoiler

i usually like ps+ offerings please don't hurt me duffyside

yeah, the most recent one.

 

[NeoRausch]

hey, what happened to sleeping dogs for the German store? they officially said it would come but.... nope... nothing.

somebody already asked on the blog but no answere so far.

I guess some legal stuff is holding our up again, like it happened with dead space 2. please?!

 

[Rewrite]

Closure? Cool. I digged the demo.

 

[kassatsu]

There are trophies, 1 extra expansion, and online mp

 

[MickeyPhree]

I don't usually complain but we are now 0-2 this month SCEA.

It's not coming. They are preparing a replacement, or so they said.

 

[androvsky]

I'm assuming they want to put out something good around the Playstation event. I'm sure they'll mention the future of PS+, so they'll probably want to announce a big title (and/or streaming game service) to up the hype factor a bit. After all, the extra 3 months of PS+ deal will still be going on for a week after the PS Meeting...

 

[B.O.O.M]

US PS+ is such a joke

Can I use a EU PS+ subscriptions with a NA PSN account?

Nah, you have to sign up for a EU PSN account. it only takes a few minutes though. You can then use PayPal to pay for the sub.

I didn't know you could use PayPal on a European account. This changes everything.

Shame you still can't use it on the Japanese PSN.

Yep! I had some money leftover from an Ebay auction so I loaded it up and BAM! Sleeping Dogs is mine.

 

[kuYuri]

Question, so I played GoW: CoO and GoS trials through PS+, but I bought the game on disc rather than through PSN via GoW Origins Collection. I guess because I have the game on disc rather than the actual downloads, I won't retroactively earn the trophies I earned up to that point?

 

[krae_man]

Closure is fun. It gets really, really tough later on but I still enjoyed it.

 

[bigace33]

I don't mind getting small, obscure (but maybe fun) titles like Obscure, but watching EU get AAA title after AAA title is breeding all kinds of jealousy from me. Plus is a great service, but SCEA can do a lot better if we are going by EU Plus. I mean, just two or three games from the EU list would be great. It's a major sore on an otherwise magnificent service.

 

[Ravensmash]

When does EU get another update?

Not that I'm complaining, I already owned Sleeping Dogs but never really got into it properly and been storming through this PSN version. F1 Race Stars looks worth a try too.

Wednesday, Wipeout Vita, then Lumines ES next week. Then we wait a fortnight for the next PS3 care package.

 

[mackaveli]

Does PSN plus auto renew?

My bro has a $48.xx charge on his credit card and never made a purchase of that amount.

Thanks.

 

[jobber]

I made a PS+ euro account for Sleeping Dogs and i'm able to play it on my US account

If you don't turn auto renew off when you start your subscription, yes.

Yes, it does. There is a place where you disable the autorenew, but I can´t remember it right now

I think you will get those trophies from the trials. I did the same thing with MK, the couple trophies i got during the trial counted for me once I started the disk version.

Select playstation network -> Go to account management -> transaction management -> services list -> playstation plus -> select your subscription and turn off auto renewal.

But hold on you are not done yet.

Select (PlayStation®Network) > (Account Management).

Select (Transaction Management).

Select [Automatic Funding].

Put in your password and turn that shit off.

You have to turn off both options to keep them from charging you.

Are you... sure?

Turning Auto Renew off seems to be all you need to do.

 

[wilflare]

I am quite inclined to keep the UK PS+ going (currently using US PS+)
gotta look for an affordable one :/
