I'm whining here because no-one awnsered my post in the KZ3 thread:

Euro PS+ user here, just downloaded the new KZ3 map pack. Boot the game. Can't find the second map in the selection menu. It's simply not here...

Bug ? Halp ?

This was answered in the KZ3 thread, but in case someone else has the same question and didn't check there: Junkyard is only available in Guerrilla Warfare and in online mode. Since it has jetpacks it's not available in Botzone.

Looking forward to that 4/26 update.

Did any EU PSN+ members get a Questionaire last week? It was mostly about the quality and quantity of the PSN content, Ive not heard any of my other PSN+ friends having it.

 

[momolicious]

Does anyone know if Heavy Rain save will work on the online save cloud? Also, once you move the save to another ps3 and your suscription ends, that save will forever be on that other ps3?

 

[OneMoreQuestion]

Yes and Yes

Every game save works on the PS+ cloud except for Afrika.

Just in case some people didn't see the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta thread.

When can you get a crack at Uncharted 3 multiplayer? In just a couple of months – the Multiplayer Beta for Uncharted 3 begins WORLDWIDE on June 28, 2011, with early access for PlayStation Plus members or by purchasing copies of Infamous 2.

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/04/18/uncharted-3-multiplayer-modes-detailed/

I guess I'll be getting it either way.

Isn't Crash Commando already free and available? I downloaded it last week without paying...

EDIT: lol, I was thinking Comet Crash, jeeze.

 

[IrishNinja]

i'm actually excited for that Genesis theme, if its the same awesome one that was on SegaBits (EU got it a while back).

since we got Sonic 1 & 2, is it safe to assume later on we might get 3/S&K? that'd be awesome. related: i still have no idea how the hell i'm gonna get that last chaos emerald with Tails' shitty AI continually getting hit in part 2.

I'm definitely doing this once PSN is fixed.

So it didn't last a month before they renewed the offer.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Ha, yeah. I was wondering, can you play PS+ games while you're offline? I've been thinking for a longtime about getting it.

 

[Mizzou Gaming]

awesome! my 3 month membership will at least carry me through SOR2. the others i can take or leave.

is there any info on why sonic 3/knuckles are XBLA exclusive? its kinda weird.

I don't know but I'd be sad if S3K isn't released on PS3...
Sonic 1&2 look beautiful (even stretched and without filtering) on my HD screen and the emulation - while not perfect - is pretty accurate.
I'm not a trophy whore usually but trophies gave a second life to those games IMO.

But WTF were they thinking when they added a "Finish Sonic 1 without dying" trophy ???
Seriously, is anyone here able to do that ? Even I didn't remember that Sonic 1 wasn't so easy, and even sometimes hard (yes I'm looking at you, Labyrinth Zone's Boss) in the second half of the game !

 

[KenOD]

I got that trophy, but then I made that challenge to myself on the Mega Drive and kept playing until I got it. You can cheat and abuse the save system though if you want the trophy, but not the satisfaction of knowing you got it because you are great at the game.

 

[Speedymanic]

Yes you can

Stacking doesn't work. For some reason it defaults to the demo version.

:/

 

[StealthGoblin]

Right, here is my new issue. In light of PSN going down, I thought I'd play more of my PS+ games. My subscription has NEVER expired.

Why are games like Cuboid, Magician Lord etc telling me they expired when they never have? What the hell is going on?

I thought the trophy could only be achieved without saves...

 

[Rewrite]

I thought the trophy could only be achieved without saves...

Nope. You can use the save and it'll still register.

Sony Offering Three Months Of PlayStation Plus Free With Yearly Subscription

This is cool, but at this point I'm pretty hesitant to give Sony any money for online services...

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

PSN Card? Your loss, really. PSN+ is the best purchase I've ever made on PSN. Got a dozen free PSone games, more than a couple of dozen minis, loads of PSN titles, Sega Classics, avatars, themes and more for free; plus loads of discount.

 

[JWong]

Please keep it in the other thread. PSN+ is great.

I'm planning on signing up for PS+ when it comes back up, I've already missed too many free games by not joining up already.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Well then! Free PSN+ for all for a month! Let's hook these people into the cocaine! :lol

Welcome, everyone! Enjoy your stay!

 

[ThanksVision]

Do I retain the trophies I earned on PSN+ downloaded games even after my subscription ends and I no longer have those games?

 

[QuantumBro]

Yes as long as it's not the 1 hour trial game.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Love the new thread title.

Sony let the hackers hack PSN, thus blaming anonymous and instead of paying for legal battles for suing them, they now can have criminal charges and not have a legal team battling this and let FBI take over it.

They wanted PSN+ to pick up, so they take this as an advantage and let you all enjoy the drug.

IT WAS ALL PART OF THE PLAN!

I'd pay to see someone say that to Kaz's face, and survive the next 5 min.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Just reading about PSN+:

You have to be eternally subscribed so free games and DLC are always avaliable otherwise you have to pay full price for them anyway?.

Yeah, just offers for me on those 30 days.

 

[TheSeks]

Got a dozen free PSone games, more than a couple of dozen minis, loads of PSN titles, Sega Classics,.

But do you own that after this subscribe ends? No? Still not worth it and won't be worth it then. PS Rental Service, can cram it. Give me the month payment for it in my wallet in return for something I can own. :|

You have to be eternally subscribed so free games and DLC are always avaliable otherwise you have to pay full price for them anyway?.

Pretty much, yes. PS+ is one of the biggest scams for the service I have ever seen, outside of "guaranteed access" to betas (which really, you can either half-care about and join a lottery for or purely wait until release) there is nothing worth it for PS+ unless you buy a lot of shit off the store during your subscribe.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Cloud here I come and can't wait for selected free content.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Is the Cloud saving free for PSN+ subscribers and does it work with all games?

 

[QuantumBro]

PSN games and Minis expire with your subscription. PS1 games, Add-Ons, Themes and discounts are kept forever.

PSN+ members get cloud sharing. If your account expires when you reactivate it all your old saves will be there.

PS1 games expire.

Only DLC/Avatars/Themes/Discounted games you buy, you keep.

 

[Zombie James]

PSX games expire? Damn, people in the other thread said the opposite.

 

[QuantumBro]

PS1 games expire.

Only DLC/Avatars/Themes/Discounted games you buy, you keep.

Joystiq posted an article a while back with an expired psn account and they were still able to play the ps1 game. I'll try to find the article.

Article is here

Curiously, PSone games (like Syphon Filter) appear to work even after the Plus subscription ends. Although clearly marked as Expired under the game's "Details," the game launches normally. It's unclear if this is simply an oversight, or if this content is meant to be free, even after the end of a subscription (much like downloaded avatars and XMB themes).

 

[Cruzader]

Well im going from experience.

My PS1 games have an expiration date. If there is a flaw in the system and you can play them even when your service expires, thats cool.

"officially" though, PS1 games expire. Good to know.

 

[Lothars]

But do you own that after this subscribe ends? No? Still not worth it and won't be worth it then. PS Rental Service, can cram it. Give me the month payment for it in my wallet in return for something I can own. :|

Yes any PS one games, mini's and DLC that you download with PSN + are yours to keep, it's a decent service and I have got my value out of my subscription.

Do you PLAY any of the PSN or XBLA game after a year or two? I surely don't. Better than trading it in. Oh wait... you can't.

The value of games I get to keep is far more than the value I paid for PSN+. There are a lot of games that you get to keep and a lot of them that you don't. The games that I feel like keeping, I'll pay for them.

Better than buy 4 games for $15, I can play shit loads of games and get to keep some of them. I don't see any loss in this.

 

[Irish]

Yeah, but don't you remember having to sell your first born child to access any of that content, Shagg?

Anyway, I've gotten a lot from my 10 months of PS+ so far, so I'm going to renew. That means I'm just 'renting' this stuff forever. Shit, I've spent more money on stuff I've used for far less time.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Yeah, but don't you remember having to sell your first born child to access any of that content, Shagg?

All I sold was my dignity. SHUT UP, WHORE!

 

[Raoh]

I have 3 months free from my first subscription. Now a month free for the downed time.

Anyone know if the 3 free months that stack with your previous 3 months is still being offered?

That should put me at 7 free months free total.

They currently have it again but it's supposed to expired on Tuesday. They'll probably extend it since the store will still be down.

Thanks, maybe I'll call them up and purchase it over the phone to secure the 3 months by explain what it is i wish to purchase and why to avoid purchasing a potentially expired offer.
