Yes it will countinue from where you stopped it.



Tried harvey normans today for that €50 psn card but no joy on the €40 price:( .

For anyone who is undecided about which server to play on DC, PVP is not bad as there is little negative about dying and the cities while they are a nice size with 1 upgrade to you movement power you can travel very fast whether using flight, super speed or acrobatics.

If you go down the comments on the EU blog about it, someone asks about Stacking and your man says that we will be getting it

Is Stacking coming later this month? It’s listed as free content on the Official website for Feb.

yeah that's fantastic news, looks like an amazing game, cant wait! A discount would of been good but FREE! :pac:

Free Stacking is a nice perk. Can't afford Plus at the moment, but if there are more quality freebies I'd definitely begin considering it.

Don't say free someone will post that penny arcade comic again.

Killzone 3 single player demo and Stacking for free today.

I've already said it on the Stacking thread but will say it here as well in case people don't see it. Stacking is free for today only so if you want it, make sure to download it or you'll miss out.

That's actually not the case. The guy on the EU PS blog said it'll be free for Plus until March 2nd.

When you are downloading stacking it says its free till the 3rd of March in the T&C's but id get it sooner rather than later anyway. No reason not to.

Confirmed. I noticed the "Flying Hamster" game for free in PS+ section of the store this morning. Downloaded it but it's not my cup of tea. It's no R-Type

RangeR

Actually, just confirmed in the blog.

On the Plus section of the store from the 14th we have given you a free minis title ‘Flying Hamster‘ just as a little thank you for being members. This title is yours to download and keep forever (it will not expire with your membership).

Sega is releasing its retro roster of genesis games for free to PlayStation Plus members for a limited time, starting with the March 1 release of Sonic the Hedgehog, which is free to Plus members through April 5. Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, Golden Axe 2, Comix Zone, and Altered Beast will all follow on the day the previous game is removed.

Those without Plus will have to wait for the opportunity to buy these Genesis games for $4.99 each: Sonic won't hit the normal PSN store until March 29, with the other games showing up around a month apart.

The new Mini game this month, Pix n' Love Rush is a good game. I've had it on the iPhone for a good while now.

PSN+ Automatic Downloads

I turned on the Automatic Download feature the other day. The one thing I do like is that it now automatically signs into my account when I turn on the PS3.

Is there a way to see what has been downloaded? Last night I came home and the PS3 was on, downloading something. I cancelled out of that but couldn't see anything that was partially downloaded and there was nothing on screen to say what was being downloaded.

Is there a way to find out?

There is an option to automatically sign into your account without Plus but plus need it on so when you turn automatic download on it also turn automatic sign in on.

when you start the ps3 for the first time after something has downloaded it will show what has been gotten, but if nothing has finished then there will be no record on the PS3.

With the exception of patches anything that plus tries to download will be on your download list in the store.

Do you have GT5 that had a patch that was set to downloaded a few days ago.
