Full Game Trial
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (Free and exclusive to Plus)

Featured Games
Golden Axe (Full game) (Free and exclusive to Plus)

Is this one of those 1 hour trial or unlimited time trial as long as you have your Playstation Plus membership?

DANG IT! Oh well, Golden Axe it is. Thx for the info.
With the file size (most likely pretty large in this case) and the amount of time it would take to download I haven't bothered with any of the 1 hour trials.

Same here. My 60GB cap really limits me....... :(
 
So my free welcome back month ended 3 days ago. And yet I'm still a member. WTF! Auto renew is off and besides in the service list it doesn't say anything other that it expires at 4/7...

I have the same "problem". My plus membership should have expired the third of july but I still have the icon next to me, as does the rest of my friends list.

I can only download trial versions from the plus section of the store, there are no discounts showing for me and I can't buy a plus subscription.

Weird.

I am equally confused, though it doesn't seem like everything is working.

For example, right now, if I go to the services part of the XMB, it says my Playstation Plus expired on July 3rd.

However, my system still has automatic updates turned on and my Plus exclusive themes still work.

If I go into the Playstation Store, I can still download playstation plus exclusive themes no problem. However, if I attempt to download a Playstation Plus game, like Bomberman for PSX, it seems to work, but when going to the download screen after confirming the "purchase" and refusing to let it post to Facebook, the list is empty. No download link.

This does not happen with other, non-playstion plus, content. Those download fine.

So yeah, something is definitely wonky with the expiration of the trial and I'm trying to figure it out.

I read on one of the blogs (I think the EU one) last week about all the problems Sony was having with those free subscriptions (including those people not being able to buy a new subscription) and that they were working on it.
 
I like the update to the Plus section of the store because it makes it easy for people to see what offers are expiring each week.
 
Ugh, as if the download list wasn't already cumbersome enough - it's now updated the dates of everything I've "bought" through PS+ with the most recent subscription date rather than when I "purchased" them.
 
I swear the Golden Axe available for Plus members is the arcade version of the game and not the Genesis version. Actually, I'm certain of it. It's done quite well, I can't find any fault in it yet after playing for an hour last night. I didn't try multiplayer online though.

Annoyed because I paid $10 for the arcade Golden Axe on Wii VC last year. But I think that version is in true low-res, so that's not too bad.

Oh that'll be why loads of dates changed then. Was wondering why that was
 
I was just thinking the other day that by the time the vita comes out i will likely have over 50 minis to put on it on day one from PSN+. Kinda funny.


I wonder if any of them are good? I download all of them to get them in my download list but I haven't even tried them on my ps3...

Some of them are excellent.

Pretty sure one of our resident gurus (Agent X, I think) said it was not the Genesis version, but indeed the arcade version. Check the last PS Store thread.
 
From the latest Insomniac podcast it seems only SCEE Playstation Plus subscribers are getting in the Resistance 3 beta, which is an SCEA game.

Oh well, at least we have an amazing collection of Sega Genesis games to play. At this rate there's absolutely no way I'll resubscribe to this service.

SCEA tend to want to include Beta passes in with games to promote them. SCEE just like giving shit away for free. They bundle everything, get a lot of cool shit done for free etc.

I wouldn't give up on Plus yet. If Vita launches this fall, I expect a big PS+ promotion on PSP games.

In over 8 months I've saved $3 thanks to Playstation Plus discounts so I won't be holding my breath.

Besides, I have no intention of ever playing PSP games on the Vita. I'll get a Vita when there are enough Vita games to hold my interest on the system. Backwards compatibility is something I have no interest in, and I plan to be done with the PSP and my back catalog of PSP games before the Vita launch.

If the service isn't good enough to get me into betas for first party SCEA games then it's next to worthless to me.

How many of the free games did you download?

I've managed to save a fuck ton of money. Lots of the games offered were games I wanted but never got around to buying (EU User).

I really thought Sony would have made more of a push in June and July given they'd surely be aiming to get the free month guys to resub.

Speaking just in terms of discounts (not including games that were fully free) i saved over £40 in the first year, which covers the whole subscription cost. So definitely worth it for me!

I downloaded a ton of free games. I've more than 0% trophies in one of those games: Stacking.
 
Hasn't the US beta program been announced already, included with a Blu-Ray? I'm sure they'll announce it later so as not to jeopardise that deal.
 
Baron said:
I have it for XBLA, and it just didn't "click" with me. Is this version any different?

5 new songs and co-op local multiplayer, otherwise the same.

If any of you need chime help, feel free to let me know. I think I might be neogafs one and only king of that game. I've 100% every level on 3 minute mode, only trophy I need is the co-op one T_T forever alone
 
I just signed up for 3 months, and I'll probably get a full subscription later.

If I don't download the games, can I still download them for free later on? I only have limited HDD space but I'd like to be able to download Soul Reaver for free in future.

As long as you "buy" it by checking out through the store, it's added to your download history. So as long as you're still a subscriber, you can download it in the future.
 
So, I screwed up the final day of the 15-month offer by two days, missed that, picked up PS+ at the normal price, and now it's on sale a few days later. GRRR!

I'm not entirely happy with the PSN+ genesis rom dump, but I might consider extending my 3 months hoping the content improves...

Aren't you paying more (and missing good deals on the service) by buying it in 3 month installments each time to hope it improves....and then buying three months more to hope it improves again? Isn't the amazon offer now just a few dollars more than the 3 month offer, why not just get that?

I don't understand this complaint, the genesis games are an extra little game they are giving you away besides the "one free PSN game a month."
