^Come on man, Joe Danger 2 can't be THAT bad!
lol, well MGS was what stood out to me when I read the list and didn't care about the other Vita game for EU, since I have a US Vita account XP
 
You're right! That's insane. Too bad they don't do free EU PS+ codes more often, it's going to suck when mine expires next month :( US PS+ is fucking horrid compared to EU PS+
 
I still haven't gotten that $10 credit. Did anyone figure out what triggers it? I thought people presumed it was just for being a good customer, but hey... I'm a great customer! Too good, actually (trying to cut back on purchases).
 
^IIRC, it something like a raffle where random usernames were generated and they got it.

Oh I'm sure a new deal'll pop up some time soon, odd you didn't make use of the 8 Pounds for 3 Months of Plus offer they were having a few weeks ago...
 
"Fucking horrid." Yup, nailed it. You're not being a drama queen or anything at all.

lol I had a few months of US PS+ and can't remember one REALLY good game I played. The last 2 months I've had it they had nothing but awful additions. I got a free code for EU PS+ and got Sleeping Dogs, Limbo, Vanquish, etc..

I'm not sure, I got mine a week or so after putting in a $20 gift card and buying a couple of things. Could be a coincidence though.

Canada, too.

I think they said it was a random selection. They probably shouldn't have put the whole "loyal customer" thing in there.

I don't live in the UK so I'd have to buy a card on eBay :(
 
god of war hd free on ps plus?

forget about my complaining before, this is great! played them all before obviously but don't have the hd remasters!

just bought mass effect 1 as well. i bet that goes free soon, don't mind though cause its only 11 quid.

:O my ps3 just switched itself off...

took the power lead out and put it back in and it seems fine...for now...

They've been handing out EU trial codes like candy since November. Off the top of my head there was the Discovery giveaway, the Facebook giveaway, the PS France giveaway, & the IGN UK giveaway last week.

I think the Facebook one is still working. It takes a few days to get a code though.
 
Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere in the thread, but I was wondering: when I download games from the instant games collection on the PS+, it seems I don't need to "buy" the games anymore, they just start downloading immediatly.
Which is nice because it was a bit ridiculous to go all the way to checkout to get free games.

But do I need to download all the games to make sure I can play them as long as I have a ps+ membership? Is adding them to the queue and then canceling the download enough?

My ps3's hdd is not THAT big.
 
March's additions:
Joe Danger 2
Dead or Alive 5
Mass Effect 3
MGS Collection is also free for Vita owners
Puddle

EDITED FOR GREATER EU JUSTICE!

Damn... that's a nice lineup. EU PS+ really does crap all over NA. Sadly I'm in NA. :-/

QUESTION about PS+: after I've "purchased" a game in the Instant Game Collection, can I always download it in the future as long as I'm PS+? Or do I need to keep it on my HDD after it expires from the Instant Game Collection on PSN?

Ha, I have the same question. :-P
 
You're stealing my lines now. :/

They updated the store sometime in the past few weeks so free stuff (including plus games) automatically go through checkout and begin downloading. If you just want them on your download list just begin the download, you can cancel it right after. Or you can avoid the shitty store altogether and switch to the SEN store. As a plus, the SEN store still lets you add to cart and checkout.

It'll always be in your Download List as long as your sub is active. If you lapse, it'll disappear from your list but it will all reappear the next time you sub.

Go with option 2:

^Log in, add funds via paypal, buy a 1 year plus code.

GAME has 1 year plus for 30 Pounds too-

Nope, just US.

Cool, I sold off my disc ver. but Capcom has to reduce the size of it, 18 GB is too fucking much.

JAW are actually REDUCING the size of the PS3 ver. of Stranger's Wrath HD, if a small dev can do it, baka Capcom can too.

I got it ;)

Spent it on my second copy of Demons Souls. Thank you based Sony.

Does it require a UK credit card? Thanks!

Oh wow awesome! I'm going to do this next month, thanks! :)

Ha, I have the same question. :-P

Read the first post of this thread.
Just go through the checkout process - doesn't matter PS3 or PC - and that's enough. No need to download them.


QUESTION about PS+:[/B] after I've "purchased" a game in the Instant Game Collection, can I always download it in the future as long as I'm PS+?
Again, read the first post of this thread.

Once a game is in your download history, it is free to play and re-download for as a long as you're a Plus-member.
Also, if you stop subscribing, but return later, your history will be the same as when you left.
 
People who abused the EU PS+ 1 month trials, the codes are only redeemable till March 1st, so you might wanna get around to using them now.
I just created myself a fake German account to get the March games + Binary Domain.

you mean the 28th (the last day of the month). Also the facebook codes didn't have an expiration date (I checked, and that's good as it took a week-two weeks to get mine) so if you have a code that expires in March from the last hand out and a facebook code you could potentially have the free service until the end of April.

It's already the 28th in some places :P. And the email I got with the codes says they expire on March 1st :s. I'm talking about the ones from the French promotion.

Well then I'd advise everyone to get a facebook code as that promotion is still happening and takes about a week to get the code so it would be stupid to say "Oh, our codes stopped working at the end of feb". I checked the email I got from facebook and the whole message didn't say anything about an expiration date.
 
i got a strange mail from sony today reminding me to renew my plus since it would expire soon.

The problem is that I have payed for plus for until sometime in 2014

anyone else got a similar mail?

These are the ones I'm talking about: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509961&page=2 Not those Facebook ones you refer to.
 
I'm thinking about getting PS+ however I have a few issues

-I have a 'launch' PS3 which only has 60 GB
-Tomorrow is the last day of the month so I don't know what I'll lose if I delay on getting PS+ until March
-I don't have a Vita

They don't follow the calendar month in either NA or EU. Things are updated on their respective update days (NA = Tuesday, EU = Wednesday). What region are you planning to buy PS+ for?

Good to know, thanks. I had never even tried the superior online store. Way faster, dammit.
 
Then the only things you'll miss out on by not subscribing before Tuesday are:

In NA we don't know until the week before something is taken down.

Check the PS blog post for the store update to find out what's expiring the next week.
 
So, can you not longer add PS+ stuff to your cart? I'm only getting the option to download now... Do you have to download it to have it later?

You can start the download and then cancel it. It will be in your Download List afterwards. I'm guessing they got a lot of complaints about having to add to cart to download and so on, so they added this instant-download button when you 'buy' it.
