PlayStation Plus Thread: Plus What? PLUS EVERYTHING!

Zombie Tycoon 2 is a brand new game for PS3 and Vita and people who played it at GDC gave very positive impressions. It's a very good freebie for PS+.

Don't care how positive the impressions were. Can't imagine ANY game involving zombies interesting me in any way, and yes that includes "infected" I'm looking at you last of us!
 
Sony reps here and on their blog said they'd count the $49.99 Plus subscription as a $50 purchase for the purposes of the promotion. It appears to be the only exception, though, but I'd feel confident about the rebate.

They said that about October as well and despite spending about 110 (if you include 50 for plus) I did not get the rebate.

You should have contacted them. I've found their customer service to be great. Anything can happen, of course, but I'd be more inclined to assume they'll honor that agreement rather than not.
 
Any word on the EU April update?

I'm hoping we get something a bit better than what the US did on the Vita side, but seeing as how we got MGS HD last month I won't complain that much.
 
PS+ virgin....

If I join right now can I DL Spec Ops and keep it as long as I stay PS+ or does it stop working tomorrow? I literally just finished it on 360 but using that as an example.

Thanks
If you join right now, you can download Spec Ops and it's yours to keep as long as you are a PS+ member.

If you join ahead of the PSN update tomorrow you can 'buy' & access Spec Ops for as long as you have a valid PSN+ subscription. If your sub lapses, you lose access. If you resubscribe, you regain access if you have 'bought' it (aka go through a purchase of it while being subbed - you don't need to actually complete a download).

So yes, subscribe right now & you can download Spec Ops & keep it for as long as you have PSN+. When people talk about things being removed from PSN+, they mean for that initial free "purchase"/unlock. Once it's unlocked it's yours while you're a subscriber.

Announced over a week ago.

I'd say it's definitely better for Vita (at least based on my knowledge of those games), debatably neutral on the PS3 side (we already got the Cave, War in the North appears to be merely okay, and whether you prefer Demon's Souls to Okami HD depends on your interest in each game and whether or not you played them before). Ultimately I'd say both regions got decent to great updates.

DO IT

thank god for the web store.

not sure why I bothered though, I only have like 2 GB left on my HDD.
 
You're a few days late ;)

That I am. My bad, just went and found it.

Entering PS Plus in April:
3rd April: Okami HD
3rd April: Lord of the Rings: War in the North
3rd April: The Cave
10th April: Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward
24th April: Thomas Was Alone

I guess now I have no excuse not to try VLR, huh.

Edit: I'm new to this PS+ thing, this will only be my second month of having it, I haven't been sure where to go for updates and stuff.
 
I'm super jealous about EU getting Okami, less so about VLR (both because I never played 999 and I don't currently have a Vita, heh)

Really hope we get that in NA too, eventually

I imagine I'll be super jealous of EU a lot :(
 
Own both Demon's Souls and Malicious, but great for those who don't. No freebies for me this month. I'll be getting $20.00 back from what I spent in March, though, so I'm good.
 
Uploaded Saves to the PS+ Cloud have a 6 month grace period if you leave PS+, then they are wiped off to my knowledge
They don't actually wipe them, they just didn't guarantee them after the 6 month grace period. AFAIK, they've changed the wording and now they just say your saves will come back when you resub no matter how long your sub ended.
 
Never played 999 / don't usually enjoy these types of games seemed like an alright excuse to me, though now I hear that playing 999 isn't all that important to enjoy VLR?

NOT A GOOD EXCUSE

Ideally you'd play 999 first, but if that's not possible/practical, you can just start with VLR. A couple of the big reveals won't have the same affect on you, though.
 
Uploaded Saves to the PS+ Cloud have a 6 month grace period if you leave PS+, then they are wiped off to my knowledge

It should still be in the Cloud, I know my saves were after my PS+ expired. Everything comes back once you reactivate your PS+.

Okay. Thanks guys. Looks like I may have to fire up Demon's Souls from scratch again...

EDIT: Just saw Killthee's response. So maybe I still do have my save. I'll just try another short trial of PS+ and see what happens. Thanks again everyone!
 
So EU vs US :

Okami HD > Demon Souls.
Sleeping Dogs > Spec Ops
Mass Effect 3 > Lord of the Ring thingie
Dead or Alive 5 > ????????

MGS HD + Zero Escape > 2 old PSP games ...

Why do we always get the bad deals on PS+? :(

EU and US both got the "lord of the rings thingie". SO i think that comparison is a little off.

It might be a little off, but it still portray the situation. We get old crap here and they get new stuff haha. Also, they get 2 PS3 games each month and we only get 1! I'm jealous.

Edit : They even got 3 in January!

Get an EU account then, its a really simple solution you can buy a code online. No EU CC needed.

I think its clearly the Publishers that are determining this and regional market differences. In the US they don't want to give out those games, maybe they sell better over time here IDK but I really doubt SCEA is intentionally giving us crap.

And to be honest the two months have been great in my opinion. I like the game selection more than the EU selection and I have both.

I know they aren't intentionally giving us crap. That would be quite sad. Maybe SCEE works harder to secure newer games?
 
Bleh. I want sleepy dawgs. :( Ok its actually a pretty ok month I guess. But I still want Sleepy Dogs. Spec Ops sucks ass, though. Terrible game for sure.
 
Does anyone else like Plus enough to want to start putting the Golden Plus icon on our avatars, much like people do for games they love (see the nose ring thing from Ni No Kuni, or the red-eye-gleam for Revengeance, 'cept ours would be classier!)?

Edit: If people decide they want to join me in this, I'ma need someone to do the work for me. I'm too dumb.
 
So EU vs US :

Okami HD <<<<<<<<<<<<< Demon Souls.
Sleeping Dogs >>< Spec Ops
Mass Effect 3 > Lord of the Ring thingie
Dead or Alive 5 is just fucking awesome

MGS HD + Zero Escape <<< Disgaea 3 & 2 awesome namco fighters for pspthat play perfectly

Why do we always get the bad deals on PS+? :(

*fixed. Make a euro account. Anyone know how much it costs in American dollars.

Why is everyone bitching I have these ds and sc they are great.

Its about 65 for the euro accounts. I don't know if there's an english option for buying in euros, I use the Spanish Store since I speak spanish (Its cheaper for the sales and stuff if you buy things). The UK accounts I think are around 60 or something (its 49.99 euros vs. 39.99 pounds). It changes based on the exchange rate.

Also there is an extra 3 month promotion going till the 10th of this month. I get my moneys worth out of both.
 
Vita getting 1 game a month is a bummer. Disgaea 3 wasn't my thing, and this month doesn't look to hot either. Well I won't budge, I will wait for Hot Shots Golf, Virtua Tennis to be on the IGC.
 
I believe the PSP Soul Calibur game has a good single player mode right?
Even then I still think it's a lame choice since fighting games are much more fun when playing with others.

The PSP games are technically part of Vita Plus, so it's two games this month. It shouldn't surprise anyone, given the Vita library isn't as robust as the PS3's.

That'd be a lonely club I think.
 
I get that Demon Souls is considered a great game, but it's been $20 retail for like 2 years now, You would think anyone who really was interested in it already has it. I hope this is an indication that we will see Demon Souls 2 at E3.... Sony might as well, they have the original IP so it won't be as obvious a clone as all their MH ripoffs.

I actually have never played any of the Souls games, but I guess I'll download this and give it a shot. I'll try to get a trophy or too before giving up in frustration.
 
I'm glad us EU lot are getting games I don't already own. I bought the black phantom edition of Demon Souls day 1 so having a game I've never played before in Okami is great.
