If that works that would be the job

The console that the plus account is activated with called the "home console" should be the family console as every account on that will work online and with any plus games or digital games, while the account should belong to the person who play on their own console desperately.

If you have a PS4 in your man cave then it's you account that should have plus.

If the kid has a PS4 in their room then it's their account that should have plus.

Yes

Some showed up today but only the PS4 content and that was meant to be on Friday.

And was able to add them okay.

Though when I click on them in my download list, it still says "Free" instead of "Purchased"

If you buy a play station plus voucher from Amazon will it work on over here . I am just asking as I have seen a years subscription a bit cheaper with them compared to the €50 with Irish retailers .

I've never set up a Playstation plus account so just wondering .

They will all work if you've the relevant account set up for it. If you want PS+ to work on your primary account, which I'm assuming is an Irish account, then you'll want to buy PS+ with an Irish flag in the top corner. Amazon PS+ vouchers tend to be for the UK only, which would work if you have a UK account and don't mind buying PS+ for that.

Regardless of what account you buy PS+ on, you'll still have access to the games from it on your other accounts.

Blinked_Missed It

Can the answer to whether PS+ vouchers from the UK, USA etc work in Ireland be added to the FAQ on the 1st page. No bother answering anyones queries on it but its been asked and answered a hundred times now and it still appears to be a source of confusion. Cheers.

Just asking in case but if anyone gets a free trial for PS+ and they cant use it as they already have PS+ and aren't using it can you let me know. Looking for one for a friend who wont have his PS4 till January and is a new convert XB360 so he can start his PSN IGN collection. I know its a lot to ask but like I was told growing up if you dont ask you wont get. Thanks, W

Can you 'purchase' the games from anywhere other than a PS3 yet? I'll be travelling for most of Jan and Feb, and won't have access to the PS3. I know they mentioned allowing it at some stage, but i'm not sure if it's doable yet.

Best place to buy a PS+ subscription? Or are the prices all pretty much standard?

This months games are out now if you search for them instead if going to the ps+ section. This is on the vita

CastorTroy

While searching for Guacamelee, this popped up

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-ie/cid=EP9000-NPEK00189_00-DISCONLYPARENT00

Just had to laugh. They're prepared anyway

Went to Checkout with the 3 games I could add and noticed I didn't get asked for my password as I used to. When did this change?

They are displaying on the PS+ section. Just seems Sony haven't updated their banners on site yet.

Just noticed all the DLC for Grid2. This isn't gonna be like Most Wanted, and everything is bundled into extra content is it? I was half thinking of buying it at some stage before it was announced for PS+. Kinda glad I didn't.

I wouldn't worry about the grid 2 dlc. The majority it doesn't get used online. I got the indy one have never raced online

I just added the free games for this month to my basket and checked out, not really paying attention, and I've been charged €60 for Grid 2!

It's definitely one of the free games this month, can I get onto them for a refund? This is crazy.

DeSelby83

Is there any word on will they be changing the base vita games on ps+

MarkY91

just downloaded grid 2 and played it for a bit. its a very good game!

It's always bad for a while after the plus update.

Fine for me. Grid 2 done in 20 minutes.

For anyone thinking of stockpiling PS4 games, don't forget it's not enough just to add the game to basket.

You have to go through the checkout to fully buy the games (for free).

$29.99 for a year sub on PSN tomorrow here in NA. I assume you guys will get a deal too

zl1whqvjs75cdy

My renewal date is some time in May. If I was to buy the PS+ on a deal (if there is one) will my subscription continue until May and then I get another full year, or will my year just start from when I but a new subscription, effectively costing me 6 months of PS+ goodness?
