Playstation Plus Thread 2: How do I hold all these games?

newark said:
So here's my doubt regarding PS+ instant collection:

I will buy a PS4 but i will buy it in february or something, but i already have a PS+ subscription because a have a PS3 and a Vita. Even if i don't have a PS4 can i "purchase" or "transfer" the PS4 games that will be in the instant game collection for the PS+ on PS3/Vita so when i buy a PS4 the games will be in the Download list and i will be able to download them even if they aren't in the PS+ Intant Game Collection anymore.

Can someone explain this? :D Thanks

Should work without any problems. Just needs to be in your download list.

Anything I should know about Dragon's Dogma before playing it? I know next to nothing about this game but excited to play it tomorrow.

Travel only during the day. Make your pawn a Mage, unless u plan on being one. No need to respec early since you'll be able to at any time

Same here. It made a fantastic first impression, and then turned into an incredibly dull single player MMO. I'm about 20 hours in, about halfway across the map, haven't done any of the sidequests apart from the Factions quests, and it's just turning into a slog. Is it just going to be another 20 hours of the same thing? It was quite fun for a while, but it's really losing its luster. Does it ever pick up later on, or should I just jump into Dragon's Dogma and not waste my time?

Go to dogma. That's the problem with amalur. It's fun until u hit that slog. The world isn't interesting and the leveling is too frequent with little improvement. Dogma is much better on both regards

We have no reason to believe you won't be able to, but at the same time we won't know for sure until next week.
 
It has been confirmed you can "purchase" PS4 games from the webstore to add them on your download list. It works the same way than before.
 
For anyone planning on picking up a PS4 who happened to sign up for the $12 for 12 months of Music Unlimited promo last year, check your email. I just got an offer to extend it 3 more months for $3. I'm gonna turn off auto renewal and hopefully MP3/DLNA support will get patched in by the time my sub ends.

I don't know how I should be dealing with this instant backlog collection. I'm usually pretty stingy, and make do with 1-2 games every quarter and play it to death. I try to platinum all games I purchase too.

Now with a vita + ps plus, I'm being showered with this "more games than I have time to play them" business. I only got into PS+ late in September, and the way I play games it's going to take more than a year to 'complete' everything... I find it tough to shift priorities.

I used to be like that too, but with this many things you just have to try them out and stick with it for as long as it's fun. I'm about 50-50 on finishing PS+ games that I even bother downloading. It's an amazing service for the value, but you could easily turn a good thing (free games) into work instead of fun with that kind of mindset.

Does anyone else hurry and grab it same day because you've got that feeling in the back of your mind that Sony screwed up and all these things aren't supposed to be free and will be removed soon?

I just did this. 3 extra months for $3 is well worth it in my opinion. I've found the service useful on my iPod and Vita.

I tried to snag it while at work today because I was worried they'd say Dragon's Dogma was a mistake for NA and take it away :(
 
regarding DD:DA, i played it on the 360 and i had a previous save from the original game so i was able to get the unlimited ferrystones resulting in easier quick travel. now since i dont have a previous save for the PS3 im guessing no unlimited ferrystones for me?

I'm actually considering to switch to MU, but how/when to jump on? Paying full price seems stupid? But I can't use this deal since I'm not subscribing right now

For some reason I didn't sign up for the 12 months deal they had this summer either. Any indication that there will be any new offers this Christmas or when the ps4 is released?

I didn't get the mail. I wonder if there's any way for me to get it anyway.
 
Someone recommended Dragon's Dogma as a viable way to get your "Dark Souls" fix without playing DaS itself. I'll give it a try, because hey it's free.

They're not that similar, it's kind of like recommending Dragon Quest to someone wanting another game like Final Fantasy.

Haven't gotten this promo, but I have had the cheap Music Unlimited for a while. If I can use that promo then I'll probably continue to be a paying subscriber. Though I'm a subscriber of Spotify as well simply because the management of playlists is better and because they have an app that isn't terrible. I would have no problem switching to Music Unlimited completely if the Apps were better. There isn't even an iPad App, IIRC, and the one on my Android phone is bad as well. Not sure what to do because I like the idea of streaming music to my console.

I mean, I get what it does, but I'm slightly rankled by the fact that the blurb is basically "Pay us to keep your music".

You can use the iphone app on ipad. It's pretty bad though.
 
Does anyone here know if it will be possible to buy a PS+ subscription from the US store on a EU PS4, perhaps by means of an alt account? If it is, any drawbacks to that? That's gonna save some serious money over the span of a generation.

Just use the US webstore:
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/home/games

Buy 1 year of Plus for $50, have a US account on your PS4 and you should be set.
They've said nothing against having multiple accounts on a PS4 so far.

You can make an alt account and redeem the code from a prepaid US PS+ card bought elsewhere, like eBay or Play-Asia. You can't buy anything on US PSN without an US credit card or PayPal account, be it credits or a PS+ sub.
 
Ok thanks!

So, can I buy a PS+ sub from the US web store using a EU credit card or do I need an American one for that as I would for purchases from the console PS store?

Your European credit card will most likely not work. You can always get a prepaid card, though. There are many online stores selling those. Just pay there using your European credit card and they'll send you the code via email.

Just get the prepaid card at a place like hdmoviesource.com (that's where I get mine). Takes five minutes. :)

Nope, instead just buy US PSN codes via Amazon.com or Play-asia.com
That's how most of us do it really.

Have there been any known issues of PS Plus games disappearing from download lists? Because a few of mine have disappeared :/
Click to expand...

First time I heard it. Are you sure you "purchased" it? From the webstore or your PS3/Vita?

If not you should be able to just search for it and it should say "Free/Already Purchased/Download to all your PS3/Vita"
 
Mt Heart Attack said:
Cool, it doesn't sound like too much of a hassle then. Definitely going that way on PS4. Cheers guys!

Assuming the PS4 will use similar concepts to the PS3, any Plus game you get from EU or US Plus will be playable on any account on your PS4, however, online will be restricted to either your US or EU account.
