PlayStation Plus Thread: Plus What? PLUS EVERYTHING!

Not open for further replies.
This genesis rom dump has been the biggest scam ever for PS+ subscribers. By using these worth almost nothing titles as the "free games" they've bought themselves half a year of not having to actual give any quality free PSN games to PS+ purchasers.

Also what happened to PS+ discounted Outland? Finally a game comes out where I'm going to make use of my $50 subscription and then it never arrives.
 
Sorry if this has been asked before, but about the game trials, do they add trophy lists? I know trophies you earn don't unlock unless you buy the game, but I'm wondering if you get stuck with a 0% list if you only play the trial.
 
Ummmm.... this was weird

The Aquarium Dynamic Theme has an expiration date, yet the other free ones have no expiration

Even themes expire?...WAT!?

Your fault for living under SCEA.

To be fair, SCEE PS+ is much better :P We've had decent games as well as the Sega games ;)

Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2011 (Free to PlayStation Plus subscribers, regular price $9.99)

That looks like a free PSN game to me. A game I don't care about but free nonetheless.
 
I'm traveling and I know that my PS Plus expires soon. Is there a way I can check that over the computer?

I don't think I will be back in time for the Welcome Back program either :(

Is it too late to buy another year in the US and get those additional three months for free?

yeah i think so, but i'd advise against it anyway. Plus's first birthday is coming up. There are bound to be some big bonuses for resubbing.

Really? I thought they re offered the 3 months again right when the PS store went down so shouldn't it be still available? How long do I have on my subscription if I bought the program day 1 with the 3 extra months and now with the additional 90 days? I have until October/November right?

If you bought Day 1 then September 29th was your original expiry date. The down time gave us an extra 60 days in NA (70 days in EU according to their blog).

Really? My original cut off day of my golden plus overlord-ship fell EXACTLY on my birthday!? That's funny.
 
So I'll get the free psn plus thing today, what are the advantages? Any free stuff that will expire or are there also stuff that I can keep? Any thread that explains this?
 
The best thing about getting 30 free days of PSN+ was the confirmation that it isn't something I'd want to waste money on.

Burnout Paradise was a nice touch though :)

The next version of Duels of the Planeswalkers (2012) comes out in a few days. That "2011" version is years old. Seems like a ploy to get people to buy old DLC right before the next game comes out.
 
So we're getting Genesis roms until the Day1 Yearly subscribers hit their final week of PS+, right? :\

Where is MY Crash Commando, SCEA?! Bastards.
 
Quick question:

I haven't activated my free month of PS+ yet, and just today I noticed that Braid is on sale for PS+ users for only $2.50 (I definitely would like to buy at this price). However, I want to wait until July 1st, the day before the last day to activate the free month of PS+. Will this deal still be there or do I have to activate PS+ this week to get in on the deal?

Thanks!!!
 
I thought after the store came back online it would be a great opportunity to give out some awesome stuff and great discounts with the free month of PS+ for everyone but they have been giving us shit ever since the store came back. Instead we get no discount for Outland after it comes out a month and a half late, no Crash Commando and Europe gets Burnout Paradise. But hey, here's a Lilo & Stitch game you don't want and another poorly emulated Genesis game. Nice work SCEA. Way to waste an opportunity to get new Plus subscribers to sign up. I think PS+ has been totally worth it overall for me but anyone who didn't know anything about it before using the free trial must be looking at this like 'people pay for this shit'.

Braid is on sale for $3.75 until June 21st.

Ah thanks. By the way how do you find out this information? Is there some kind of site that lists PSN sales and when they end? Or do PS+ sales always last for exactly 1 week?
 
I'm no complaining about the Genesis Vintage Collection series thing, but where the hell are Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles?

360 got them, and they are nowhere in any future batch details about what's coming to PSN. Sure, Monster World IV is cool and all, but where is Sonic?
 
so I'm going to ask a stupid question because I'm still kinda confused on the matter.

I want to buy Magic Orbz, it can be bought at a discounted price, all the DLC for it is free for PSN Plus users.

After my month of PSN Plus runs out, I will get to keep the game, but Sony gets to take back the DLC. But so far they haven't for that kind of thing but they reserve the right to do so at any time.

So I might get to keep the now-free DLC, but I can't count on it.

Is that about right?

Yep.
 
Everytime I quite Burnout via the xmb it resets my console. It's the only game that does this, and it does it every single time. Has anyone else had this?


Also the game decided to reset all the save data :-\ wtf?
 
I have a free PS Plus subscription from Welcome Back. If I get into the Uncharted 3 beta (when it starts) from PS Plus and my subscription expires, will I no longer have access to the beta?
 
EU mid month Plus stuff..

Here are the mid month treats that are available for all Plus members, including those with the Welcome Back free membership. You will be able to find these later today in the Plus section of the Store:

MAG Interdiction map pack – 100% discount
Braid (PSN game) – 75% discount
Young Thor (mini) – 75% discount

SOCOM: Special Forces:

Abandoned Map – 100% discount This popular “Suppression” map from SOCOM 1 and 2 makes a comeback in SOCOM: Special Forces. Abandoned takes place in the daytime around an ancient Thai village deep in the misty jungle. Fight your way over dense hillsides, through dark caves, and into the close-quarters mayhem of the archeological site. Classic SOCOM heritage meets evolved SOCOM: Special Forces action.

SU90-Shotgun 100% discount An extremely high quality, versatile and powerful weapon, the SU90-S is the preferred tactical shotgun among the Special Forces. This 12-gauge shotgun is equipped with slug ammunition for serious stopping power. It inflicts heavy damage in a focused area and features a greater effective range than standard shotguns – Note this appears as a different gun depending on the forces that you use.

I’ll be back on here soon to let you know what great content and special treats will be available for PlayStation Plus’ 1st Anniversary!

Hey dude, I don't believe they do. There are trophies that you can obtain during trial that appear only when you purchase the game - the same goes for the trophy list.
 
I've played a few full game trials and they've all left trophies on my account, even after I deleted them. YMMV.

Demo trophies are local, and my recollection is that they are not synced with the server. So your friends can't see them.

Seems like an annoyance that just happens to get people to buy the game. ;)

Anyone checking their expiration dates for PS1 games on Plus? Mine didn't get a 60 day extension like other PSN games did. I'm hoping this doesn't screw things up come renewal time.

Weren't these already up earlier in the month? I just tried to get Ignition yesterday but it was still showing full price for me.

um we already have Streets of Rage 2. Do you mean 3? I hope so. Coop was REALLY fun over the PSN with 2. I very much enjoyed it.

And $5 for a platinum (Spare Parts) is pretty sweet and it is VERY easy to Plat. The game has all gold trophies like Terminator Salvation and is a good Ratchet and Clank clone. I guess next week is the week everyone will activate their free 30 days of Plus. lol

Some were, some weren't. Maybe there was a glitch with the price of some of them and they're adding them again. I have no idea.

The blog says SoR2. We were never supposed to get SoR3.

Here's a reminder of when the free Genesis games will be up.

PlayStation Plus Releases (free)

Streets of Rage 2: June 14 –July 12
Golden Axe 2: July 12 – August 9
Comix Zone: August 9 – September 6
Altered Beast: September 6 – October 4
 
WHAT THE FUCK, Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta exclusive to PS+? ALL OVER THAT SHIT BABY.

Am I mistaken or is this AFTER PS+ expires for the 1 month crowd? If so, that's a helluvan incentive to purchase it.

It'll be like 1 week left for those who activated their free month right away. People still have until July 2 or 3 to get a free month.

It's a known bug Sony (atleast SCEE) is trying to sort out. Basically the fix is to start a download and then cancel it (no need to redownload entire thing) so your expire date gets updated. According to the Sony guy on the blog comments, the expire dates are set when the download starts.
