I only got my first ps3 last march and signed up for ps+ as I got 15 months for the price of 12, Little big Planet and had not bought anything off of the PS store.

Did you get all them games free with PS+ or did you get some of them at a discounted rate?

Anybody else having an issue staying in an online game of Burnout?
I keep getting kicked and being told to check my firewall settings.

I want to sign up for PS Plus now that my 30 days are almost over but I can't seem to figure out how...I go to the store and select PS Plus but all it gives me is the preview option. How do I actually get the 12+3 deal?

I just had a look, the 12(+3) is the first item you can select in the PS+ section.

Yeah but when you select it all that comes up is the option to preview not actually purchase it

So I take it I have to wait for the free trial to be over?

You have to wait for the end of the trial, mine ended today and I signed up fine. The 12+3 deal is still ongoing

Castle Crashers is free on ps plus today

MitchKoobski

Cannot recommend Castle Crashers highly enough. Not enough people got this when it came out, fantasticly addictive multiplayer.

Missed out on the 15 months for the price of 12 now i either have to pay the norm and get 12 months before my sub expires in a week or two.

Anyone in the same boat.

Is there any way of checking how long is left on your subscription?

You need to go into account management. Then I think look under subscription services.

Mines up on the 7 of Septembers, so i have 3 PSN store updates to hopefully get a good deal or i'm stuck with €50 for 12 months.

ShaneU

Don't think I will be subscribing again, all of the games they're giving away for free I either bought when they came out or they're so lame I have no interest in playing them. I mean really, Golden Axe? give me a break

There might be another deal coming. Sony know that a lot of PS+ users that signed up on day 1 will be expiring soon. They MAY do some form of customer retention. But if they don't, it's only €50.

Ok which sounds better,

15 for €50 (3 months extra) or 12 for €40 (€10 discount).

They both cost the same,month for month. Both are less then RRP.
€3.34 per month compared to €4.17 per month RRP.

Either way, they have one final deal for the "day one" purchasers.

This is for the US store but we have some chance of getting it, maybe not if you're in Germany.

Due to the Resident Evil 15th Anniversary US plus subscribers can get

PSone Classics: Resident Evil Director’s Cut, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3

Golden Axe is a classic

ShaneU

It hasn't aged well

Qs

Is it just me or has playstation plus completely gone to crap since the first update after the outage? Seems all their is now are discounts on games. I want my game a month plus a few minis and PSone titles. I've about 3 months left on my subs and if it doesn't get alot better soon I wont be bothering at all.

ShaneU

Anyone know what we're getting tomorrow? Unless it's v.good I don't think i'll be resubscribing.

This has been taken from the US PS+ via Joysiq.

Had a small panic attack when i got an email from playstation charging me. Then i realised it was the automatic renewal. For 39.99 too so I'm happy enough with that
