PlayStation Plus Thread: Plus What? PLUS EVERYTHING!

Why are they doing this? Is EU Plus not already an amazing enough service? Do they really need to make it MORE enticing?

Man, I honestly feel bad for people who don't have Plus or don't like it. Something's wrong there.

Crazy-but-just-about-plausible suggestion, as I look out the window and see work vehicles resurfacing the car park: it's the end of the fiscal year and they've found some leftover in their budget for securing Plus titles.
 
Hey guys, I just bought a Vita. My PS3 is banned from PSN but Plus even for the Vita alone sounds like too good of a deal to pass up. If I buy a Plus card and activate it before March 4, do I get the three bonus months, or do I have to buy my pass online through Sony to get the bonus?

Got to ask, how did you get your console banned and not just your account? That must have taken some work.
 
Can I stack full year memberships? I want to take advantage of the "get three months free" offer but I'm barely five months in.

Yes you can. If you buy the 1 year plus you will get $10 back, one of the PS Blog community managers confirmed it~

Ah, that does make a bit of sense. Hope they can find something that will draw some more subs, cuz they deserve it.
 
I don't suppose to PvZ that's free on Plus is also playable on PS3? They count as separate games, correct? That sucks if so... it's been years since I've played that game and wouldn't mind it on the big screen.
 
Plants vs. Zombies please.. it will make US PS+ look even "better"..

EU Plus already gave away PvZ twice.

I guess it could be Counter Strike: Global Offensive? When a popular game gets delayed for months for no apparent reason SCEE often come up with some sort of compensation (as it was the case with Trine 2).
 
Can I buy this with a paypal account from the US like I could with the store for their deal? Someone please answer as I'd totally jump on that.
It says check out with Paypal at the top of the page, so you can use it to buy. But I'm not sure if a) they'll ship outside of the UK (assuming they ship a card and don't email a code) or b) you need a UK address to register.

Have you tried registering and asking their support? They're a legit company (although they have risen from the ashes of administration recently).
 
Regarding stacking the PS+ membership... If I buy two years for $99.98 I get 2 years 6 months, plus $20 back in April (buying some $0.50 dlc). That will put my expiration date in Aug. 2015. I really don't think the membership will be transferable to the PS4. What is the probability that we are going to keep getting new games for PS3 after the PS4 comes out?

Also, if they cancel the service for PS3 somewhere down the line, will I be able to keep my rentals?

In regards to that last bit...I think not, but I do believe that down the road, Plus will be transferable to the PS4.
 
PS+ will definitely carry over to the PS4, if not necessarily in its current guise and I would imagine not immediately (IGC anyway, no reason we can't get discounts straight away).

I don't think anyone can possibly answer your second question with any authority.
 
Just turned my PS3 on and saw this:

Unless this is old and is referring to a sale or something I guess that is what they'll announce tomorrow as the bonus game for March for European PS+ users.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but doesn't the PS+ icon refers to the game being purchasable without purchasing the entire collection ?
IIRC you can only buy GoW1 or GoW2 alone if you are a PS+ members. Standard members have to buy both.
It could be a PS+ freebie for next month but it's a bit early to show it already on PSN.

Unless as a double bonus they are doing it from tomorrow?

PS Blog and PSN are 2 different things. They announce PSN/PS+ content on PS blog before or when it's released.
The first March update is scheduled for next week and they never use the What's new section of the PS3 to tell what is going to be released so early.
That's a screenshot from the PS3 What's new menu or something like it.

They will announce it tomorrow but it won't be available in tomorrow's EU PSN update. And so, it won't appear on the PS3 before the following update.

It can still be the bonus game, or even both games. But that's not a confirmation, or even a hint.
 
Man, I subscribed to playstation plus a little while ago but haven't used my PS3 too much. I just found out Vanquish is free. Bad fucking ass. I've been wanting to play that game so bad.
 
I have PS+ just for my Vita, I don't own a PS3 ...... but you don't hear us bitching about only getting PS3 games ..... I know the last 2 weeks of the month are usually for PS Vita games or games you can play on both ..... I'm happy with my 1 Vita game a month, still well worth the $50 PS+ price
Ps+ has been around longer than the vita and it was launched as a ps3 service. Now I am sick of getting vita games that I won't be able to play instead of ps3 games that I would be able to play. Vita should fuck off and get its own ps+ service. I'm sick of subsidizing efforts to make a failed product sell better with my ps+ subscription.

Again, what you think is happening is not what is happening.

Sony didn't take any PS3 game away from you. They added Vita games for the same price you were paying.

Send them an email saying that you are paying 50$ just for PS3 games. They will gladly take away those annoying Vita games from you and you can still pay 50$.
 
Is there an easy way to find out when free games will expire? I'm going to sign up for PSn + soon, and I would like to get Wipeout 2048 and Gravity Rush in my download history, even though I won't be bale to play them until I buy a 32 GB card.

I feel ya, bro. Don't know why this video hasn't gotten more attention here on GAF — it's a fairly long interview with Kaz Hirai where he states that if they got rid of the Vita stuff on Plus, they would probably replace it with an initiative that would make all future new releases free for Plus users for the first week:

I don't know about everyone else, but that sounds like pure s

x to me.

I feel dirty...

In NA we don't know until the week before something is taken down.

6th March: Vanquish
6th March: LIMBO

Me and my vita thank you for your unwavering support.

Not sure if im going to grab soundshapes as that seems destined free for ps+ otherwise unfortunately i have the games i want that are on the anniversary sale.
 
Holy christ, is it just me, or is PSN slower than molasses right now? I don't think I've ever seen it this slow, at that's saying something. Took me 10 minutes just to download a 26 MB update for the store. And now that I'm IN the store, it's chugging bad.

edit: maybe just an isolated incident. Downloading a demo now at a far more respectable rate. About 500 kB/s
 
So, guys, I just signed up for PS+ due to the double whammy deal plus amazing games.

....I need a Vita now. Badly. Persona 4 Golden + (PS+) + future PS4 streaming is the breaking point.

I already made fun of Roto today, do I have to do the same to you?
 
After seeing the winners for the Gamer's Choice Awards (lol @ title) at US PSN, I think the extra Freebie for EU is either:
RE 6
Walking Dead Season pass
One of the RE HD releases on EU PSN

Reason I bring up WD is because I want to save $10 =V
 
It seems impossible to find a comfortable grip while playing Plants vs. Zombies on the Vita.
I played it a bit today and just held the Vita with my left hand (thumb over Sony, pinky along the bottom edge, index along the top edge and the other two straight along the back) and used my right index finger on the screen. I didn't have a problem with it that way and it was easy to shake the Vita to collect sun/coins.
