Great week ahead for PS+!

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Megaman! Been back and forth on purchasing that one for a while. Such a great service.

 

[Hypereides]

Crossing fingers for Binary Domain for PS+ EU....

 

[dark_prinny]

All you people better play Vanquish.

This can't be said enough.

 

[Crimsonlink]

Yay Vanquish! Bayonetta is the only other game I want in the near future while combat all this backlog.

I bought Megaman the other day but its nice to know that others will get play it as well.

 

[krae_man]

I can't believe Link Man thought that was anything like what you wanted. It's a nice thing on Steam to see all of your games (I usually only show installed games) whether they're installed or not, and they're in alphabetical order. It would be great if the PS3 did the same thing so it would be easier to delete then later re-install games without having to wade through your download list (which changes the date of items when you add time to your PS+ subscription) or going into that piece of shit PS3 store if you know exactly what you want to download again.

I also wish I could list my PS3 games in alphabetical order. It's annoying that any folder I create is listed in alphabetical order but the games inside those folders are not. What also makes is annoying is that I can list my Trophies in alphabetical order but not my games. I really don't understand why they don't give us that simple option.

It used to be worse. Scrolling through the list used to shuffle it.

Already have Vanquish, but damn it's an incredible freebie regardless. Enjoy it, dudes.

 

[Meier]

Never played Vanquish. For some reason the downloads for games take fucking forever for me with PSN.. like 1 GB an hour at most. Can anyone give me an idea on its size? If it's anything like Resistance 2, I doubt I'll even bother trying to DL it.

Edit: Seeing 11 GB. Oh well, it was a nice dream.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Hmmm. I don't think so.

Because nearly a month ago (before the Germany screw up) they told us that Saudi Arabia will be getting one more game in addition to the European content + it's officially announced in some Arabic gaming sites.

P.S. There is no Middle East store. I think it is just Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates stores. Most of the Gulf countries. And yes they are the same as EU store.

Interesting. Wait, didn't Saudi Arabia miss out on another game at some point and never got a replacement game? Binary Domain would actually make sense as a belated replacement then.

I have it too, but when I got it as a PS+ EU freebie It was the perfect excuse to replay it ( for the fourth time! ).

Yeah, Vanquish does those things to you

 

[nckillthegrimace]

This week's leavings are acceptable.

 

[CREMSteve]

I just bought Critter Crunch for $1.40, hell yes.

 

[BHK3]

You probably thought it would be like Qore, great to start then a huge waste of money in the end. Even when Qore was free for PS+ users I didn't even bother with it most months.

i stopped caring about it when they replaced the girl with some dudebro

 

[Seraphis Cain]

It ended a week or two later I think, so you didn't miss anything.

 

[RoboPlato]

Vanquish is awesome but I was hoping for a game I don't already own. At least a sweet game will be getting more attention.

 

[graywolf323]

some great games this week

Mega Man Maverick Hunter X was amazing, it's really too bad Capcom never continued that line

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Or that they never released Powered Up on PSN. Maverick Hunter even has a demo for it. What a tease!

Hey, I can't use a NA playstation card on a EU account, can I?

 

[Dwayne]

Hey, I can't use a NA playstation card on a EU account, can I?

No, but you can register a US account on your system and use that. You can use the downloaded games in your EU profile if you want also.

 

[netguy503]

No, but you can register a US account on your system and use that. You can use the downloaded games in your EU profile if you want also.

Ok well then I have a $50 dollar US card to trade with ANYONE that can give me an EU card of that same value. This offer is only good until the EU store updates on Wednesday as I really only want enough money to pay for a year of EU plus (that's around $40 US dollars I believe so the card I'm offering is $10 more). To sweeten the pot I'll give you the three one month EU codes I was going to give out in this thread as well. I just really want a year of EU plus and mistakenly got a US card thinking I could use it as I've never done this before. This offer expires when the sale ends.

Can anyone help me out GAF? Shoot me a PM please if you can. I'd be very grateful. Thanks.

There is no European card worth $50 USD.

 

[netguy503]

There is no European card worth $50 USD.

Are you saying it because the amount is too small or too high? If too small, why can't you give multiple cards/codes to add up to that amount? If it's too high, that is why I'm offering three free EU plus months with the $50 NA PSN card to make the offer better/equal in value.

And I said I only need $40 USD (or enough to get me a year of EU plus which is around $40 USD). I'll take the $10 hit for my mistake if need be and I'll still give you the 3 codes (the $10 doesn't really matter to me). I just want in on this sale.

 

[IrishNinja]

fantastic update - i was holding off renewing in hopes something more than ninja gaiden would show up, and here's one of 2010's best games, and a PSP game i always wanted, for my vita. awesome!

Ugh, vanquish.

I can't stand Platinum at all

what the nut

where are you getting this year of EU plus = $40 USD from?

 

[Sorral]

I still have Vanquish shrink wrapped along with a long list of other games... Unsure if I should bother selling it on Amazon.

Actually, I'll keep it shrink wrapped forever since I got over 500GB free on my 1TB drive and just get the download version. :|

 

[netguy503]

It's a sale on until Wednesday (the 90 days stack x4= 1 year). I used a currency converter and it was $40 point something USD after multiplying the sale amount (90 day membership) by 4.

But thank you for making me bump the thread. Maybe a kind GAFfer could see this and help me with my situation.

 

[Jucksalbe]

It's a sale on until tomorrow (the 90 days stack x4= 1 year). I used a currency converter and it was $40 point something after multiplying the sale amount (90 day membership) by 4.

The sale is actually €9.99 for 90 days, which means 1 year is closer to $53. Are you sure you didn't mix up pounds and euro?

the sale price is €9.99/£7.99 for 90 days, times 4 that's €39.96/£31.96, converted to $ using xe.com that's $53.33/$49.42. what currency converter were you using?

Ok so your still not making my offer look bad though. I'm offering a $50 US PSN in exchange for a year of EU plus which you just said was $49.42. I'm still taking a hit and I'm offering 3 1 month eu codes on top of it. Why do you want to make me out to be the bad guy? It's a more than fair exchange.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Free Vanquish?!

Have to make some room on my PS3.

 

[EatinOlives]

Never played Vanquish or MMX, so this is a fantastic update for me.

 

[Duffyside]

First truly excellent week in a while, let's hope Sony keeps this up.



Even you will be broken the week Lair and Eyepet are the freebies, Duffy.

Probably not. One week of meager, or even crappy offerings wouldn't bother me at all. I realize I'm paying for a year, not a week. It's a cumulative deal, and Plus pays for itself, for me, in about two months' time. Everything else is just gravy.

Yeah, despite my love of whining about the games I definitely agree. My PS+ from last year paid for itself just from the discounts I got on games I would have bought anyways.

Plus I usually end up playing the shitty games we get anyways. I am very ashamed to admit that I 100%'d Chronovolt, nabbed all the trophies, and even got a few ridiculous times on the leaderboards by breaking the game's mechanics.

 

[eggwolio]

For any US GAFfers wanting to get a European account, my girlfriend just got me a £25 card for just shy of $40 from http://xboxliveuk76.com. That's nine months, with about a pound leftover. She's pretty awesome. She knew I was bummed about the sale ending tomorrow. You don't get your code immediately, it usually takes a few hours, but it's pretty sweet.

I'm excited to get to play sleeping dogs again. Also pretty stoked to try vanquish.

 

[master_emman]

any news for asia's ps plus offers?

sorry, I can only access neogaf for game related sites.

 

[TheShampion]

I was a little mad at Sony for turning on automatic renewal for my free 30 day plus trial (I probably should have known since Microsoft did the same thing for gold), but the 18 bucks is completely worth it for free Vanquish.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Question, if I want to get Plus should I get the 3 month or 1 year (+ 3 bonus months)? Yeah the annual subscriptions comes out to be nearly half as cheap ($3.33/month vs $6.00/month), but I ask because of the PS4 coming soon. Surely the subscription will carry over to PS4, but if I don't plan on being an early adopter do you think the stuff Plus brings out for PS3 will still be worth it worth it.

 

[SiDCrAzY]

Awesome Vanquish, almost bought it at Gamestop last week. PS Plus pays off again.

Can't you just run it overnight?

 

[Link Man]

Can't you just run it overnight?

Or in the background while playing other games?

Just as with Vita, Plus will probably take a while before it offers PS4 games, and even when it does it won't abandon PS3 offerings. I'd say go for the full year.

\Sorry

 

[Gaaraz]

Damn, would love Vanquish to come over to EU PS Plus! Enjoy it US GAF.

Is there any way to see a list of all released games on EU PS Plus? I can only find a US one, but it'd be great to see what's already been there so I know I can safely buy it and it won't appear on the list of next month's free games!

Also... PS Plus as part of someone's leaving present at work - good idea or not?

Vanquish was already part of EU plus so it won't be back for a while if at all. Sorry about that.

Vanquish is currently available on European PS+ (added in December, not leaving PS+ this week, according to PS Blog).

Has a game ever returned to PS+ after "leaving the service"?

There have been repeats on NA PS+ (for example the Sega Genesis games).

They had a promotion a while ago with returning games for people that signed up later. Not really sure when that was, though.

Same thing happened in EU, they claimed they were letting new subscribers get a taste of what they had missed. Although IIRC they were additionals back when it was a 2 and 1 rule.

I also remember them repeating Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus 4 months after they originally gave it away for free.

I just finished sleeping dogs. What an experience I would have missed without plus.
