PlayStation Plus Thread: Plus What? PLUS EVERYTHING!

Not open for further replies.
Got a question fellow gaffers, I downloaded the 1 hour trial of ME3 a while back and played my hour, also kept the game on the hard drive. Can I somehow just continue the game when the update hits, download the full game upgrade or what? Would be really nice to just continue on without re-downloading the game.
 
Does anyone have any prediction whether PSN/PS+ will get IP restrictions anytime soon? I'm moving to Europe in the summer and I'd like to keep my North American account. How big is the risk of buying, say, a few years worth of PS+ and then being locked out from downloading anything? Any ideas?
 
thx

So who's in control of picking the PS+ games for SCEA?

USA is just a single country, and the large retailers like Gamestop probably have a much tighter grip around Sony in the US. EU is more fragmented, with different laws between countries, smaller retailers with much less power as well as game prices that often fall to one third of launch price after a couple of months except for CoD and FIFA. Basically all games are bomba in UK(not from there, but used to buy my games from there before Plus).
 
^You missed out on when the 3 Months Plus was going for 8 Pounds on EU PSN =/



That's not guaranteed; the digital version of MotorStorm Apoc did not recognize the save data of my disc ver.

Yes, it depends on the game. I had ME3 on disc then sold it. I recently bought the ME trilogy digitally on PSN and my saves from ME3(disc) works with the digital version.
 
Speaking of SSF4 AE, Capcom need to trim down on the size for that game!

Stranger's Wrath HD is going to get a size reduction in a few weeks so it'll be half its current size on PSN.
If a small company can do that, Capcom needs to be slapped to get it done for AE as well.
 
Wait, is it possible to buy both Pluses on the same NA account?
No, you make an EU account (if you don't already have one) and buy EU PS+ on that account. You can then play games from both accounts on any other account you have on your PS3 but features like auot updates and cloud saves only work on the orginal PS+ account for each region.

Not necessarily...I got F1 Race Stars from EU PSN, had my US PSN account do a scheduled update, and it updated it for me, so for some titles it ignores region it seems.
 
Once you "bought" the games on your NA or EU account , you can just play them on one (your main) account. Got Sleeping Dogs from the 30 day trial code (because german PS+ didn't get it) and played through it on my main (german) account and got all the Trophies for that account.
 
... I didn't know you could play them on your main account and get the trophies.

... I... I'm gonna get PS Plus EU. Double-dippin'!
So you've never game shared with someone? My brother shares my PS+ account so he can play all of my games also. He's such a mooch. :P

It surprises me how people don't know this. My main account doesn't have a PS Store, and I mainly buy stuff from my brother's EU account or the US account I made.
If memory serves me right, any CC will be accepted by the EU PSN account even if it is a US CC.

The only experience I have with game sharing, I think, is that I provided much of GAF access to the Uncharted 3 Subway beta. But even then I just got the codes and let some GAFfer do all the work. :P

So, your brother can access your account from other consoles in other parts of the country/world and play all your games for free? That seems... unbelievable, especially with how much publishers try to nickel and dime everyone...
 
Man, what an update. Been wanting to try DoA 5 for a while, was waiting for a pricedrop. Good thing I waited lol. Will be revisiting ME 3 on my PS3 just cause. And MGS HD for vita along with all those other vita games (Uncharted, wipe-out etc. ) is really enticing me to buy a Vita. Only thing stopping me at the moment is those damn memory cards.

Yep. It used to be 5 consoles/handhelds could share the same account but Sony lowered that to 2 consoles and 2 handhelds.
 
wonder if some sort of feedback loop has come into play with EU PS+
good games -> more people join -> more money to spend so better games put on service -> more people join etc
have they ever released subscription figures?
 
Can I have a US and EU plus membership going on the same PSN account? (i.e. Can I be logged in with my one and only PSN ID and have both PS+'s running?)

No, they're region specific. As mentioned above though, you can buy the content on two different accounts and play it all on one account.
 
MGS:HD on PS+?! For Vita?!

I know you can download EU PS+ games and play them with a US account on your PS3, but what about if you download EU PS+ vita games, can you transfer them to a Vita and play them with a US account?
 
Eh. Now I have to get Mass Effect 1 and 2... is it possible to buy the US versions and use the import feature or would I have to get the European versions of both?
 
I don't know whether to be sad or happy that I bought MGS HD on the Vita during the US discount...

(now it is on EU PS+... hoping it makes it to US PS+ too)

should have spent that money on Persona 4
