I'm finding ps plus great I have a vita and ps3 and I'm getting so many games from this I nearly don't need to buy ps3 games. While assassins creed 3 is my least favourite of the series it's still a good game and to get it from ps plus it making the game even better haha

The last PS3 game I bought was Far Cry 3 (great game btw) but I still have more games then I have time to play. Not just time fillers either, real quality stuff.

Does anyone know if you'll be able to add PS4 games to your download list without actually having a PS4.

So, say for example I get a PS4 in March I'd be able to download the previous 4 or 5 months worth of PS4 games?

Unless they change how it works with the PS3 and Vita now, as long as you've got Plus for those 4/5 months you can go onto the website and add the free content as the PS4 stuff will more than likely not be viewable from the PS3 or Vita.

After buying the game on PS3 did you go onto it again later to look at the Vita version. When a game is unavailable sometimes it'll tell you why.

Mine says the same and shows both as PS3 on the list but after buying the PS3 version it shows as bought on the vita.

Do you mean look at it via the console? Will have a loot at that later today, the Vita I have is brand new/unopened for an Xmas prez so can't check it on that

I mean on the website, if you added the PS3 version to the basket and then purchase it the Vita version will likely show up as bought when you visit the store again.

Hi, I re-newed my ps+ sub over the weekend but the expiration date hasn't changed. When does this normally update?

Some games you have to run again to update it's expiration date.

Out of interest, where do I find and add the PS+ games to my download list via the Playstion website? I am logged in on the website but I can not find where to do this. Sorry for the n00b question

I have a PS4 preordered and was just wondering when I am getting PSN+ can I just use a PSN voucher or must I buy a specific subscription like xbox do?

Thanks

Both, you can buy it with money add by a PSN money card or you can buy a PSN+ card that give you a sub.

I can't seem to find the link at the moment but if follow this path on the XMB:

Account Management -> Transaction History -> Services List -> PS+ Subscription

it will show you the actual expiration date for the PS+ subscription.

Big Japan sale on EU PSN today.

Resi Revelations for 22 quid looks tasty.

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/09/04/big-in-japan-sale-save-on-tales-of-graces-f-resident-evil-ragnarok-more/

Also, racing sale on. Grid 2 for 23 quid seems best offer there

Got Way of the Samurai 4. Go Megamelons!

RedXIV

Loads of great stuff in that sale. Will probably pick up the older, more obscure stuff this time

I was thinking that list was a tad meh, and then got down to Zone of the Enders and the PSP section :pac: Corpse Party is on at that price.

And the original Silent Hill is just €1.99! I've the American PSN version from a few years ago but I think I'll purchase it again at that price! The EU version is slightly different/censored I think, so that justifies it. :pac:

Edit: it's just €1.79 on PS+.

Never played Silent Hill but just as I was about to get it, I remembered I got it through Plus last year. Strange it doesn't display as purchased

(Sssh, don't you know Retr0gamer has an automatic alert set up for everytime someone suggests getting a PAL version of a game? You're just asking for trouble!)

jaxdasher

So the EU version is the inferior one?

The pal version was supposed to suffer from speed issues I think but nothing major, the one main in-game difference was that the knife-wielding child-zombies in the school in the US version were replaced with little claw-monsters in the Pal version.

Edit: I think the childlike-monsters featured in the demo, the disc of which came with Metal Gear Solid, iirc?

Revelations is a great game at that price for anyone who hasn't played it yet and has an interest in an older style survival horror.

Do ps+ members get access to fifa 14 demo any earlier?

Wishful thinking ?

I am struggling to love jak 1. The camera control is awful. It makes some of the jumps a genuine leap in the dark. Currently trying to get 200 pounds of fish and debating deleting the game after this if it fails to improve. I will give 2 and 3 a blast but if the camera is the same, it's gone.
