Yep. But be quick!

PS+ is brilliant. I'm so glad I went for it.

Plus has been great since December: Tomb Raider, Back to the Future, FF5, Far Cry2 and now Sly and Trine 2. It just keeps getting better

Question: Games that last until the end of your subscription - if you resubscribe before expiry, will their expiration dates kick on until the end of your new subscription?

As long as you're registered on Plus, you can use any content you've acquired on Plus. So the answer is yes here.

Beefy78

Worth every penny.

I was going to be picking up RE2 + 3 to play on the Vita once PSone support is released so I'll probably just sign up for Plus instead and get them that way.

Question: Games that are available free on Plus, once they are removed can you re-download them if needed like you can with games you buy from PSN?

I'm asking as I don't know when PSone support is coming for Vita and don't want to get caught out down the line.

Professey Chin

Its the same as buying a PSN game.
As long as you have an active + account theyre the exact same

Sounds good thanks!!

chrislad

You should be able to play Resi 1 and 2 via remote play on the PS3. I played Soul Reaver on my Vita last week. Worked fine. You can remap L2 and R2 to the touch pad. Only limitation is that you have to be on your local network.

Mod EDIT: Game sharing is illegal - any talk will lead to infractions/bans.

is it? Sorry, didn't realise. What's wrong with game sharing ?

Few things, amount of active PS3s/Vitas/PSPs one person can have at the same time. It's two now(five if they were active prior to late 2011).

Sharing my log in details with a stranger...with my CC details, no thanks.

More importantly, denying sales of a game.

Oh, and against the T's and C's that you agreed to

There's some good Plus deals available at the moment under their 'Lost Treasures' sale. I picked up Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection for €17.99.

Was thinking of getting the sly games for €11 for the lot but as i can't be throwing money at things just to have when i'll likely not play them for a good while.

Plan on getting the ico and shadow of the colossus but will wait a bit till i have time, would probably get the jak games first.

This is my dilemma. I see so many things on there that I want but I've got a backlog of about 35 games now.

Personally the access to the beta for Ghost Recon and Silent hill are good choices, otherwise its not like it has been the last 2-3 months, but of course they're probably saving the good content for the summer period.

Beefy78

Yeah I'll definitely pick up Silent Hill. Been wondering how Super Street Fighter IV Arcade plays differently to SFIV so I may take advantage of a trial for the first time.

Aye i'll try out some stuff, been thinking of getting this for a while, and now that the beta is accessible i'll have to finally get it, been waiting for the new ghost recon so defo want to test out beta first. But as ShaneU already stated, EU could end up getting something different.
