So got my new HDD on Wednesday so plan on upgrading this weekend. What's the minimum size drive I need to back up to. I can delete the games and redownload after installing the drive and back all my saves up on PS+. I have no media on there.

Basically i ordered a new portable drive from amazon on Tuesday and it still hasn't been dispatched, despite being in stock, so at the moment I just have a 32GB pen drive to work with.

Since you have no media and you have PS+, all you have to do is:

1. Make sure your games are saved to the cloud.
2. Replace HDD.
3. ???
4. Profit.

There is no need to back up anything.

Cheers. Can use the stick for the firmware instead to save me going looking for my other stick, wherever I left it

Ok, Beyond G & E and Vanquish added to my basket, anything else I show add before I go to checkout?

Really thought Vanquish was one of the most fun and under rated game of this generation. I loved it. Enjoy.

Heard good things, wasn't really a fan of Far Cry 3. More the screen tearing than anything

Zero-Cool

Near the end if blood dragon now. It has the best dialogue you will ever hear in a game and is great mindless fun but I preferred far cry 3. BD doesnt have a patch on FC3 with the day time graphics, the island, stealthin a compound, etc.

Blood dragon is completely worth a fiver though, highly recommend it but its just making me want to play FC3 again.

CastorTroy

New HDD installed. Downloading a load of the games now.

If it make you feel better high heels was invent for men. The heels were used to stay on the saddle's stirrup. Then women copied the fashion for themselves and horse riding just died out not high heels.

Glad I found out how to install multiple games without having to do each one individually.

On another note, we should be getting the list for next month this week, as someone asked on the blog last Friday and the reply said "Yes, next week! Stay tuned!".

And while looking online for rumoured games coming I found this
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2013/11/06/december-2013-playstation-plus-free-games-list-news-for-europe-coming-next-week/
Which says we may be getting Guacamelee!

I hope we get Tomb Raider. I wasn't really into any of last months games.

Got around to downloading and installing Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance.

IT IS AMAZING

Arriving nov 29th:
Resogun - PS4
Contrast - PS4
Grid 2 - PS3
Guacamelee - CrossBuy
Sonic All Stars Racing - Vita
GTA Liberty City Stories - Vita

So 3 Vita games

Metal Gear Rising, Jak and Dexter Trilogy, MotoStorm RC and Oddworld Strangers Wrath leave on Nov 27

So does this mean that those of us sticking with a PS3 are getting a bit shafted on PS+? I wonder will we be able to purchase those PS4 games on the PS3 store, for download to our PS4 whenever we get one?

Yes, same way as it is for the Vita.

CastorTroy

I'm hoping this isn't the Christmas update. From Arkham City last year to Grid 2? i'm sure it's a good game but I'm not a massive fan of racing games.

I would assume so.. you can with Vita.

It does look good but wasn't paying attention when it tells you how to block. Got murdered several times by the robotic dog as a result. Think I know what to do now though

I thought we were going to find out about the Plus games that will be available for the full year. Maybe soon.

Also they are categorising Guacamelee as a PS3 game so they are really giving us two PS3 games in this update.

Zero-Cool

Grid 2 is good but traded it ages back, wouldn't mind giving it another go. Heard good things about guacamelee.

Mudlan

Not a bad month for Vita. Thankfully I held off from buying Guacamelee!!

B*gger off PS4, stop hogging the PS+ freebies with your shiny and alluring newness!

Hi,

this is probably a stupid question, but I am gonna be a new member of PS+ come November 29th. Where do you get the Irish PS+ cards? The only ones available on amazon are for UK accounts? And I can't find them on the gamestop website?

Thanks

+1 on that. I was so close to buying Guacamelee but held off as I got in to playing something else.

TBH I'm playing whatever they give me for free and if I finish them or get bored I move on to trying to get through my backlog.

I've reigned in the spending on games cause of having waaaay too much to get through. It was just getting silly the amount of unplayed games sitting on the shelf. Some still in plastic wrappers for christ sakes!

I was in Gamestop yesterday and the guy ahead of me bought a PSN card so they should be in store.

You can do it on the console with a credit card too.

30 seconds after I posted the above I found it on the gamestop website. €49.99 for 365 days. Is that the cheapest you can get it?
