    After the storage update I checked my storage and it said I have 886/1024MB. How is that possible? The max was 150MB before the update.

    That 886 is what you have available, not used.

    I don't think so. Think it was a 2 week offer. It'll say on the PS Store when you login

    Fcuk, I get paid the 20th...

    I've paid until next Feb but on the last few month, I'm willing to resub already.

    This and Netflix are the best money you can spend on your ps3 imo.

    This is a much needed update. I thought I'd never reach the current limit with save files but I underestimated the size of them.

    Same here, I was getting close to the limit. This is nicely timed

    It will always* be in your download list.

    *If you let your subscription lapse, you may lose access to the free games.

    Just be sure that when down;oading Scott Pilgrim that you download both the trial and the unlock key. If you just download the trial then only get around to playing it when the offer has expired you'll have to pay for the key.

    No limit to download except for your ISP limit.

    While that would make sense, are you certain?
    So if it says 1024/1024MB that means I have the full 1GB available to me?
    I still don't think you're right.
    The reason why it's a bit confusing is because the PS3 system does the oppisite when it tells me how much space is left on my PS3.
    My PS3 has 90/298GB left. I know for a fact that the lower the number the less space you have because I used to have a 60GB and that was constantly running out of space and the GB would always increase when I deleted stuff.

    Just tested it. On the PS3 now. Went into my Cloud saves and it was at 886/1024MB and then I deleted a bunch of saves and now it's at 893/1024MB. So yeah, you are right. My apologies.

    It doesn't matter how much you have downloaded from the store, it also includes your game saves/installs/photos and music.
    Before you download anything, it checks how much disk space you have.
    You can't download a 10MB game if you only have 5MB of space.

    Considering doing the same, the discount is likely to be as low as it gets but it will be up tomorrow. I'm slightly worried that PS4 might change things for the worse if things change.

    surely, if the ps4 comes in the next two years, they would continue the sub.

    I have to say the ps store isnt very intuitive to use compared to the xbox equivalent. Is there even anything to show one is a plus member apart from the plus on the username. Its difficult to know what is available to you as a member seperate to non-members.

    If you click on the PS+ section as you open the store it shows you exactly whats available to PS+ members?

    i've got about 6 gb left out of 80gb and i need to to make some space but cant figure out how. Only game i've downloaded is crysis and a few trials but apart from my game saves (the largest of which is 10mb) i cant find anywhere to check what is on my hd - sorry if this has been covered before...

    Who knows, they've said that it'll start to include some Vita content soon but when the PS4 is out how will things change. Providing for PS3 and Vita is one thing but in 2 years when the PS4 is by this stage out what will we be getting, getting a load of PS3 games when what you want is PS4 games or getting the opposite when you've not got a PS4 yet.

    I'm the same with my 80gb - its an absolute pain deciding what not to keep etc. Try going to game data (not the game saves!!) and deleting the installs of games you no longer play? for example, I deleted Metal Gear Solid 4 install / patches, and that free'd up about 4.5 gb. Most games install files to ur hd these days to improve loading times so have a look and see any games that you no longer play.

    Anyone know whats comming for the rest of september?
    Thanks

    Honestly, with the way PS+ is at the moment, you're better off getting a bigger HDD.
    You only have an 80GB model at the moment, maybe you have an external HD or an ipod you could back up to, fit a 500GB/1TB HDD and reinstall.

    Pretty sure this is gonna be my Xmas present to myself. I need a 1TB one I reckon as I've had to declutter my 160GB about 4 times already

    I'm just after decluttering my 160GB now, have 58GB free.
    Keep putting it off, but have a 500GB upstairs. Going to fit it now.
    Have an ipod I can back up to.

    Hi all,

    Think I'm going to jump in today.
    I've been having a look and it really is incredible value, especially with the 25% discount.

    Is there much to setting up a US account?
    I bought the Journey Collector's Edition on EBay and it comes with a free 30 day trial and Journey avatars but it wouldn't work - I rang up and they told me it won't work in the EU, only with a US account.

    So is there much point in setting up one? Does the US PS Plus have any good games/stuff that the EU one doesn't have??

    It'll take you two minutes to set a US account up. If you've got a 30 day trial you might as well use it. Only trouble is that you won't be able to use cloud storage for the save games on your usual profile.

    That and I'm going to get a years EU sub. today with the discount so unless there's some good gameson the US one that we don't have i suppose there's not much point (the trial expires next March).
