No more free PSone games? C'mon now.
In Europe? Given the recent blog post explaining the trouble getting PS1 games republished on the (EU) PS Store, I imagine they've got a few they're going to put up (for a price) over the coming month or two. Once a sufficient time has passed, they'll graduate one or two of those to PS+ freebies.

Apparently that "Sonic the Hedgehog" is the 2007 game "remastered"... with trophies. I hope it isn't.

Are we sure it's not just a semi-typo and they just mean a discount on Sonic 4 or something? Or some PSP Sonic?

Where did you hear about it apparently being Sonic 2006? The trophy masochist in me must know. (or did you mean one of the XBLA Genesis/MegaDrive ports)

Also is AC2 "Deluxe" edition containing ALL DLC (as in all the preorder and Limited Editions DLC) or just the 3-4 that are on the Store?

Sure as heck isn't a typo. Which begs the question WHY GOD WHY.

Oh gee. I just remembered Sonic 2006 (the Xbox 360 release) actually came out in 2007 on PS3.
To clarify to others, yes, this Sonic the Hedgehog:

But in a way this is good news. Old retail games coming out on PSN that didn't have trophies, getting trophies. Soul Calibur IV and Devil May Cry 4...any word?

Anyone get the automatic video and game downloads with PS+? I don't seem to get that. I have automatic downloads set to ON, have a time set and it downloads patches automatically every now and then but I thought I would get Qore and the full PS3 trials on my HD. Am I missing a setting?

No Qore or HD trials. Only select trials are getting pushed and there have been only 2 or 3. I think bandwidth is a concern. I would like to get Qore but not all full trials, they would be huge downloads and often of games i already played.
 
Can someone explain to me whether the free games are permanently free? Or do they last the month they're available or what? I've been curious about that for awhile.

You keep them as long as your subsciption is active. I've got a ton of free stuff.

For someone like me who games on PSP and PS3, its a godsend. I hope they start throwing in the occasional free PSP game once NGP releases.

The free content is available to you for as long as you subscribe to Playstation Plus.

The discounted items are yours forever.

The avatars and Dynamic themes are yours forever.

Hope that helps.

I always get my FW downloads automatically, you have to manually apply them though since you have to agree to the TOS every time. I also get demos from time to time. I got the Tales from Space: About a Blob Demo last night but it was stated in the store update on the blog that it would be an automatic download.

In addition to what's been mentioned, you MUST download them while they're active on the store (actually that's not quite accurate, you don't need to download them you just need to 'buy' them so that you get the red bag icon and they appear in your download list). Once bought, they're yours to do with as you please as long as your subscription is active.

Yeah, I've had both 3.56 FW updates recently and I'm constantly getting patches for games I have installed. :)
 
Is there anywhere that has an archive of everything that's been offered on PS+ (EU) to date?

A friend of mine is asking for what I've gotten as a subscriber so far.
 
I just bought the 15 month sub for Stacking. Hope this pays off!

I'm a little worried about automatic downloads. How much stuff is it going to download on my PS3? Because my HDD doesn't have that much free space :X

Just turn it off? :)
 
I'm sure this has been asked and answered a million times but after doing some searching around the net I still don't see a definite answer.

If I subscribe to Plus, do I get any of the past Qore episodes? I haven't watched them since around episode 10 but I wouldn't mind going back and watching if there's some good episodes.

I'm kind of assuming it's a no.

It's a no. Qore works like free games. It stays free for the two weeks after it's posted but after that you have pretty much missed your chance. Although there are some random old episodes that still have the plus sign for some reason.
 
Ah, so Killzone demo actually is suppose to be automatically downloaded.

I was wondering why my PS3 was on for so long to find out that it was downloading a demo. Thought it was only for updates and stuff.

actually I believe it stays free for the month
 
Yup, new plus subscriber here too! I hope today's job interview is successful as I may regret it otherwise. :D
 
Not sure about this day one thing.
I thought the same for the Dead Nation "Day one" discount.
But actually it went during weeks if I remember well.
But, who knows, better be safe than sorry, so download it day one :D
[/useless post]
 
Joined Plus at christmas as it was the first time they had stuff on offer
1) that I wanted
2) that I didnt already have

Been a very happy customer so far, the constant stream of included content is great
 
Stacking is free untill march 2nd.

just asked in the blog

sorry to ask this.. but does that mean, that If I decide to download it in the weekend, tha game will not be free for me..? the wording here makes me think it is only free today..

James was kind enough to answer with this:

Hi, no. Sorry if the wording wasn’t clear. This has been added to the catalogue for Feb and so you will have until the store re-fresh on the 2nd March to download the game.
Cheers
 
I didn't check this thread or the blog before checking Plus this morning.

My eyes bugged out a bit when I saw Stacking on the free list on release day. I have no idea how good of a game it is, but it's Shafer. Nice job on Plus lately.

Truth be told, I would have been more psyched if the less expensive Tetris went on Plus. Maybe next month. :P

If its half as good as Costume QUest then its excellent.
 
Making Stacking Free day one is a mistake. It validates unreasonable excpectations. The Free games with Playstation ppus should be back catelog stuff you chose not to pay full price for. That way it doesn't matter if you cancel your subscription. Just like Netflix. Nobody complains that they lose all the movies they had access to when they cancel Netflix.

I disagree. Surely they cant provide a free day one game every month. But once or twice a year with backlog games in between also works great.
 
So does anyone have 100% answer to whether or not after our Plus subscriptions run out, do we still get to play Stacked or is it like the other Free titles where it will be blocked until you resubscribe?

I wouldn't continue to pay for the service unless it started to have day 1 games like Stacking. If they add one good quality day 1 psn game a month then I'll pay them yearly for PSN. But if it's just scraps of games I wouldn't even want, then it won't be worth the money and I'll cancel. On one hand, sure, you're getting 12 x $10-15 games for $50, but on the other hand, you're not choosing the games and you might not even want/like half or more of them offered.

I'd also like to see discounts on EVERY new PSN game. At least 33% off. Like Bionic Rearmed 2 should be $10 if you're PSN+ instead of $15. Stacking was a great first step, but they need to build on this to make the service more attractive to the people who've been thinking that it hasn't been worth it up until now.
 
Do you work for Sony?

Since when is a service being a good deal that encourages people to sign up bad for the consumers?
 
no i don't work for Sony. What are the incentives for the developers to release it day 1?
Sony probably has to pay the developers for these deals, wouldn't paying monthly be a huge cash spend?

I just think the way they have done it so far has been great. A mix of recent and old things and sometimes with an extra special thing (like sam & max)
