PlayStation Plus Thread: Plus What? PLUS EVERYTHING!

That movement isn't entirely inappropriate in the face of a product which is infinitely reproducible for almost zero variable cost.

Still didn't pull THQ out of the water. Not a good argument imo.

If I can reproduce millions of something, yet no one buys it, you'll still be losing money and time from the initial effort to make that something.
 
Excited for new game.

Even more excited at people being happy at new game in PS+ thread.

Confused at weird dallow_bg and Roto13 interaction.
 
THQ pretty much can't give away this game fast enough lately, so I guess this isn't surprising. A decent game, but a bit disappointing in that regard though.
 
Darksiders was great. Played the whole thing through a while back and its a lot of fun. Some mechanics could use a touch of improvement but its solid.

I just picked up Darksiders 2 for Steam on Amazon's sale, $12 including all DLC. Have yet to install it, but it will be the first game I will play Steambox mode to the TV after the recent rewiring.
 
Free??? Including NHL games???
The app is now free, the actual live games have always required a NHL subscription. The plus offer was free access to the app; they used to charge $10 for it if you didn't have plus.

If you don't have an NHL sub you can only access highlights, schedules, and stats.
 
Anyone know if PS+ still gets NHL game center for free?

the app is fucked, they are releasing a patch for it but I am not sure when. I bought the NHL Vault and it is impossible to link accounts so don't purchase it until it's patched otherwise it doesn't work. The NHL games aren't free to watch but the subscription is fairly cheap at $49.
 
If I downloaded the Darksiders trial, do I have to redownload the game, or will the trial turn into the game when it expires?
 
But yeah saying it's "the first one worth playing" was clearly talking about his own personal preference.

Actually; no, as he clearly thinks it's worth playing, because he already played it. He was just being the atypical Plus-butt.

Like this guy:

More like SCEA takes out the trash once a week and, on top of the refuse, there's occasionally a half-eaten eclair.

You're trying too hard.

For the record, Darksiders is that half-eaten eclair. Certainly, I already played it, but I can appreciate it, alongside Mega Man 9 and 10, as quality additions to the service. A service for which I pay money. SCEA is doing a poor job of convincing me that I should continue to pay for the service, and the relatively low monthly fee does not in any way absolve them of criticism for adding mediocre or poor games like Chronovolt and Retrocity Rampage.

The worst part is being strung along week by week. I understand why they do this (in case stuff falls through), but it's difficult to not be constantly disappointed when Monday rolls around every week and Sony's added a bad game for free along some thoroughly unimpressive discounts. If SCEA outlined the whole month, I think any disappointment would be easier to swallow because I could at least see what potentially cool things are coming up. I would have hope.

It also kind of seems like I've been hoodwinked; the first month of both the renewed PS3 Playstation Plus with the Instant Game Collection and the launch of the Vita Playstation Plus were absolutely fantastic. Of course, it is not at all realistic to expect that level of support every single week or month, but, aside from those two weeks, it just feels as if SCEA just isn't trying at all to even approach that major push. Like all recent Sony endeavors (Move, Vita, etc), it started out big and then slowly fizzled out into a crushing disappointment.

SCEA needs to follow the immortal advice of short-lived PSP mascot/wunderkind Marcus and step their game up.
 
If I downloaded the Darksiders trial, do I have to redownload the game, or will the trial turn into the game when it expires?
You'll have to launch the trial at least once so the trial timer can start counting down. Once an hour has passed you can launch the store and purchase the PS+ version. Initiate the download so it can activate the license key and unlock the trial and then just cancel the download.
 
Darksiders is like a million years old...cool for those that slept on it though

im not gonna bitch, still happy about Mega Man 9 + 10
 
For once it seems that Japan has received a really nice Plus update

Dynasty Warriors NEXT (Vita)
Zero Escape (Vita)
Spelunker (PS3)
Daytona USA (PS3)
Pain (PS3)
Modnation Racers (PSP)

There are a couple of classic titles as well like Sonic 2 and Life Force.

Plus, if you dive in for the full year before the end of the month, they send you a code for 1,000 yen. Not bad. Also, there's that 10,000 yen code raffle for 1,000 people going on as well. I'm tempted, but years of terrible Japanese Plus deals has made me skeptical.
 
This is convenient seeing as I was planning to rebuy it anyway. I played and beat it a while back, but welcome another playthrough.

Now maybe I'll finally open and play Darkstalkers 2 that ive had for months :O
 
Put in my (imaginary) Vita cart.

I can totally picture myself buying a Vita in a year or two just because of Plus ahah.
I have a feeling that was exactly Sony's intention. Release a steady number of "free" Vita games to Plus owners, to hopefully reach the point where they go "you know, I really should get a Vita to play all these free games I've got". A couple of people in work are already talking about doing exactly that.

Just become a PS+ member (UK) recently and I've seriously impressed by the service especially considering I got it during the '25% off a year membership' deal.

Seeing as Darksiders is being offered I wonder how long it will be before Saints Row the Third makes an appearance?

Considering it is currently heavily discounted (13,50€ for PS+) I don't think it will come in the near future.

It's not really like the appearance of Darksiders suggests SR3 is coming anytime soon - EU Plus has had a bunch of THQ games for a while now (Darksiders, SR2 etc.)
 
So i'm a little let down.. I own MM10 but not 9. I cant DL the 9+10 pack for PS+ since I own 10 already.

wtf sony :|

PlayStation Store Update 01-08-13 Frequently Asked Questions
I downloaded Mega Man 9 / 10 individually, but now I can’t download the Mega Man 9+10 Bundle free in Plus. How can I take advantage of the Plus offer?

If you own Mega Man 9 or 10 already, just search for the one you don’t already own. You’ll be able to find Mega Man 9 and 10 free for Plus members as individual titles.
