I'd definitely buy a lot more from Sony's store if they were priced competitively, or even priced sensibly.

I hear that the developers set the prices, so they're charging what they think people will pay for their games.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

You may want to buy an extra year (+3 months) of PS+ now if you're planning to get a PS4.

Rumors have the service going up to 80-90 bucks. Gotta think current subscribers will be grandfathered in, right?

p.s. - thats why i said maybe buy it now on the cheap, darsh

 

[eggwolio]

I knew nothing of Quantum Conundrum prior to playing it this morning except what I read in this thread. My impressions were that it's very loud when you scroll through your games but it's an okay game overall. Color me surprised when I passed it on the menu and heard the singer from one of my favorite bands ever, Chris Ballew of The Presidents of the United States of America. It was even more awesome when I heard the narration by Q from Star Trek: the Next Generation. Gameplay-wise, I'm still not sure it's my thing, but on a presentation level, it delights me.

I heard the PS4 is going to burn your house down if it detects any Microsoft products in it, including Windows.

I have a friend in Santa Monica Studios, and he said that the PS4 can also kill one of your family members if you're not a Plus subscriber. Insane.

 

[Duelist]

Wow, free Vanquish this week? Was actually going to purchase this due to how awesome MGR is.

PS Plus is amazing.

No way if it's that much. Maybe an upgrade cost in that situation, but that seems excessive.

 

[Curufinwe]

I just saw that offer for an extra three months of Plus if you get a 12-month subscription. But you have till March 4th to redeem it.

Do we know how long Vanquish will be available for?

80 a year is too big an increase to be palatable to many (though I happen to think it would still be reasonable). If anything they'll match MS' 60 a year, but even that would surprise me.

 

[Vashetti]

I don't think Plus will go up in price at all, and if it does it will be minimal.

It's a great selling point because it's such better value compared to Xbox Live.

 

[Aru]

I still have 20$ in my PSN wallet (from the time I bought One Piece: PW with the PS+ discount) and I got the 10$ credit from Sony today. I will buy a 20$ PSN card on Amazon and renew my membership then. 15 months for 40$, great deal.

NA PS+ doesn't tell us when content is being taken down until the week before and the only things being taken down next week are:

Last Chance (Leaving on 2/26)

IGC – Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus
Discount – Alien Breed (PS3 and Vita)
Discount – Big Sky Infinity (PS3 and Vita)
Discount – Knytt Underground (PS3 and Vita)
Discount – Urban Trials Freestyle (PS3 and Vita)

Vanquish could be taken down the week after that or a month or two later. We won't know until the week before it happens.

 

[Nakazato]

Where is the 15 month for 40 deal? Or is this the 49.99 15 month deal?

 

[alr1ght]

He's discounting the free $10

 

[Aru]

Where is the 15 month for 40 deal? Or is this the 49.99 15 month deal?

It's 15 months for 50$ minus the 10$ PSN credit from Sony.

With NGS+ down next week, we can expect a new Vita game (PSN or full game since we got a PSP release this week). Nice

Glad I got Ninja Gaiden then, even though I don't have a Vita.

The song got me so excited. I played the game and found it to be boring, tedious, and further lacking awesome music.

 

[Duffyside]

So is that $10 thing going to people who are buying the 15 months of Plus?

 

[CHusson91]

So is that $10 thing going to people who are buying the 15 months of Plus?

I don't think so. I purchased two years of Plus last month have haven't gotten the $10.

 

[kirby2096]

I went to the PSN web store to grab Lumines and it said I had already purchased it, which couldn't be right since it's not on my download list. Was forced to go on my PS3, open the store app and start the download there to get it to register that I own it curtesy of Plus.

 

[Tizoc]

It's sent out to any who have a US PSN account, but since there are like THOUSANDS of US PSN members, some might either get it late or...be unlucky and get non...

I have a Canadian account and got it.

 

[Gaaraz]

Vanquish is currently available on European PS+ (added in December, not leaving PS+ this week, according to PS Blog).

Oh wow, thank you!!

 

[BHK3]

So is the Trials game any good?

 

[Aru]

So is that $10 thing going to people who are buying the 15 months of Plus?

Nope. I haven't bought the 15 months yet. I'll be doing so soon.

 

[jcm]

I got the 15 months of plus, and did not get the $10. Fuckers.

 

[Donos]

Binary Domain is pretty awesome so far. Have more fun than with Vanquish (don't hurt me).

 

[Killthee]

I know it's too soon to assume anything at this point, but for fun lets just speculate about the future. What do you guys think PS+ will offer during the PS4 launch?

No hardware BC and no streaming BC at launch means they can't rely on the existing PS3 catalog so they're gonna have to offer something else. A PS4 IGC at launch? Will they shift focus from the IGC to discounts, network services, and OS features? Will the system even launch with PS+? If it does will current subs transfer over for free or will they require a small transfer fee?

What do you guys think? What are your hopes and fears for next gen PS+?

 

[AndyD]

The rumor is that it will be named Playstation World and not + anymore, and so they can change features at will on the new console. Unless they keep both services. One with OS features (World) and one with entertainment features (Plus).

OS features for sure. IGC turns into streaming for PS4.

IGC for PS3 and Vita will continue. And with every disc game right now going DD. Plus might be worth it even long into PS4's life cycle.

Probably access to the stream PS4 demos or something and 1 game maybe? I have no idea.

 

[Kinyou]

Binary Domain is fantastic so that's totally okay.

 

[jvm]

Played Vanquish for about 30-40 minutes. Not my cup of tea, so I moved on and deleted it. Oh well. Here's hoping there's a good PS+ deal on Bioshock Infinite or something.

 

[TheContact]

Maverick hunter seems like an awful pixelated remake of mega man x.

I imagine features like Vita remote play and video sharing will be PS4-exclusive Plus features. Eventually they'll have Gaikai streaming as a feature, but I doubt any PS4 games will be featured as part of IGC until at least a year into its lifespan.

I'm loving Vanquish far more than I expected to. Awesome game!

Edit: BTW, if any puzzle fan has yet to give Closure a try, don't let it pass you by. Some of the puzzles later in the game are so devious and clever, and the satisfaction you get from solving them unmatched. It really was a great freebie as well.

 

[Aru]

The graphics are its weakest point, because it looks like a cleaned up PS1 game but other than that, it's really great. Try hard mode: bosses have new moves ! Also Vile mode is great (and hard in the beginning).

 

[Tizoc]

I have a Canadian account and got it.

Yeah I've seen members with Canadian accounts get it too.

 

[Hanmik]

hope they offer something GOOD.

 

[Tizoc]

hope they offer something GOOD.

I'm thinking....
SSF4 AE
Binary Domain
Okami HD

 

[Hanmik]

Virtua Tennis 4 (vita)
Plants vs. Zombies (vita)
Bayonetta or Demons Souls (PS3 I know they sound unlikely, but this is EU)
Okami HD (PS3)

 

[Shtof]

Hoping for Binary Domain, Demon's/Dark Souls or Dragon's Dogma. All possible, let's hope we don't get that turd port Bayonetta. Great game, but the PS3 version is atrocious.

 

[Hanmik]

The PS3 version is fine... as long as you don´t play the other version of the same game, you will be just fine.

 

[Jubern]

Even though I already played it, I'd be totally down for a digital copy of Binary Domain. Okami HD would be the icing on the cake

 

[kiyomi]

hope they offer something GOOD.

Kind of expecting something like Bayonetta or Demon's Souls, since they went up on the store fairly recently at a reasonably low price. It would be nice to get an RPG though since I don't think we've really had any. I would be alright with something like Binary Domain as well, although I think maybe that's a little too similar to Vanquish.

 

[Hanmik]

let´s go all out.. Resident Evil 6.. it´s been on the store awhile now.. and the game is actually cheap on the store..

 

[BibiMaghoo]

SSX please

 

[Hanmik]

SSX please

ohh yeah that would be nice... but it´s EA.. has there been any EA games for free with plus..?

 

[CorrisD]

hope they offer something GOOD.

Where's the guy that told us we would be getting Sleeping Dogs like a day in advance? lol. I hope it is something good though, Sleeping Dogs was a enjoyable game I would hope they can keep the standard up going forward and we don't end up with some 4 year old title or something most people wouldn't play.
