She would get all games in the current IGC plus all future games while subscription is active. Any game that was part of Plus in the past but it no longer available will not be in her account.
It's a collection system that builds as you go only, not one that you can step into once grown.
Alright, she's from UK, so these games would be available for her if she signs up now, correct? http://uk.playstation.com/playstationplus/#select-tab-gamecollection
EDIT: Answered above, thanks!

So I bought an external drive and my PS3 recognizes it (after have created a Video/Game/Music-folder in it)... but I can't for the sake of me find a way to copy over games to it. Not even install files... did I seriously buy a 500gb external drive just to put movies/music/photos in it, and not the heavy shit like the games?
Someone, please save me.

You can't copy/install games on an external hdd.

G fucking G.
Should've read this before spending $80 on the product. Great, now I'm broke and STILL have no space on my PS fucking Triple.

Depending on which kind of external drive you bought, you may be able to take it out of its enclosure and install it into the PS3.

Verbatim - Store'n'Go Portale Hard Drive, USB 3.0
It's FAT32

The link is in Swedish... anyway you can help me out here :/?
I think that one has this drive inside based on Amazon reviews:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152168
A 2.5 inch 500gb sata drive. Which is exactly what fits inside the PS3. If you are up for it, I would google how to disassemble the Verbatim enclosure, then use the PS3 instructions to replace the drive. Then you can use the old drive in the same enclosure for an external drive for media.
On the other hand, can you return the Verbatim and just buy a bare drive? It may be cheaper that way.

Get her to sign up the day before the content changes, it gives you an extra month of content in your subscription period.

Does it have sata? I have a 1tb external drive plugged in to my console with no problem.
I hope.
Seeing as they made the dlc free for rising in the states. I think we will not get rising free anytime soon.

So ever since my rage post, I've been reading guides left and right, and unscrewing/re-screwing my new and old HDD and I've switched places now. I got a PS3 error that I need to update to the latest firmware through an USB so I'm doing that right now.
This shit is intense! IF this truly works then god bless you guys.

Yoshi, as a suggestion: delete everything from your current PS3 hard drive except for savegames and the games that you are currently playing. Otherwise the backup will take forever.

Doesn't sound like he's bothering with a backup.

It's a US Plus freebie.
You'll probably be getting it in February.
Congrats. I felt a bit bad for not telling you about that option in my previous post, so i'm glad you could at least change the ps3 hdd.YES!

If I didn't back up my old HDD, I'm fucked right? I have the old PS3 HDD next to me, and I kinda figured out that I wanted some of the saves in there :lol
Fucked or can I just hook it it and copy the saves to a USB?

If you have Plus, you should upload them to cloud storage.
I have never put a hard drive back in after installing another though. Someone else will have to chime in on the possibility of that.

PS3's HDDs are tied to one console and can't be used for any other device without formatting.
Your only option is putting it in the original console and hope you can access the files (that is, if it doesn't ask you to format it first).
I believe this is incorrect. If you try to plug it into a different PS3 then it will reformat. But I think in the same PS3 should work just fine.
I may be wrong, but if I am then there's not much you can do anyway.

Try to put it back in. If you are lucky you won't need to format the hdd and you'll be able to upload the saves to the cloud.

Oh well. Connected the "old" PS3 HDD back in and it told me that I needed to format the whole thing, as expected.
It's weird, I plugged in the HDD just 2 hours ago and I'm putting the exact same HDD in the same PS3... still needs to format. Such weird design from Sony ._.

It encrypts and associates the drive based on your specific PS3. Kept hackers out for a long time.
I guess so
Damn yoshi, that's why i read the internet for hours and watch youtube videos before i make such things. You never now.
As long as the firmware between the two HDDs is the same, you can swap HDDs and the PS3 will not format them. I also upgraded my 250GB HDD to a 1TB SSHD. I can swap between HDDs to compare the loading times.

Yeah I have no idea what my old PS3 firmware is... Always thought it was fully updated.

Question, GAF.
Why do some games, like Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed for Vita, say it's playable on the PS3? At least If you look at it on the web store, not sure about the PS Store.
