Sucks that if you already own either The Unfinished Swan or Journey, you can't just buy the other at a discount on its own. I was really looking forward to getting TUS on offer since the start of the event but I lose out here having bought Journey on its PS+ advance launch, as well as all the many many other people who made Journey such a success and now can't get TUS at a discount reserved for people who hadn't bought either game before

Have they replied to this on the blog yet? Can't access from work to check.

Same here. It's one of those games that I wanted, but not quite enough to buy. Having it on ps plus is perfect.
I'm not a massive gamer, only like a few styles of games, and even for me PS plus is amazing value. I just got it for the automatic game save backup feature!

Wow, I'm delighted to have signed onto PS+ now.

With a Vita on the way and GOME and MK coming. That is awesome!

Klair88

Was thinking of buying the Guardian of middle earth. Great news its free for me now! Never played Bioshock 2 so that's good news!

RasTa

What's the US store getting. We got bioshock 2 and SF4 arcade edition which I thought was decent. You guys get outland yet? Awesome game

It's the best thing that ever happened to me.

Everyone should play Journey

Everyone needs to buy Journey. Heard reviews of it being almost spiritual, yawned cynically. Played it, met another player on the 'journey', you can't talk to them, no gamer tag, just chirp and travel together. Then got separated 1 hour later. Felt a bit lost afterwards. Weird and brilliant at the same time.

Did Mortal Kombat for the vita show up yet, i slept through Thursday and just went on now.

I have BioShock 2 still sealed on my shelf. Might download this version so I don't have to open my copy.

Can't see this posted anywhere but the Zombie Driver HD theme is free for PS+ people. Actually a really cool theme IMHO, very colourful and detailed. Could be an error on Sony's part so maybe grab it now. Its not showing up under PS+ 'themes and avatars' section which I've seen happen before.

Anyone know why some of the PS+ free stuff doesn't seem to be localised to the PS+ section on PSN. Seems all over the place & you just randomly stumble onto it..

Still no sign of it hope they didn't just pull it without telling anyone.

Would ye recommend getting PS+?

Yes without a doubt.

Be prepared to upgrade your hard drive if you have an older model PS3

I hate subscription services as a rule but PS+ is the number 1 thing I would do if I had a PS3. Paid for itself in a month. Love it.

That's a resounding yes. Have a read back over the thread.
It's also discounted at the moment.

sin0city

3 people saying yes within 2 minutes. Speaks for itself!

super_furry

If you have a PS3 than PS+ is essential. It's worth buying a PS3 for PS+ alone.

Risteard

Ha, well that's pretty conclusive.

Cheers.

When I was in HMV Henry street (Dublin) last week they had the 3 month subs for €10 so good for pressies or if you dont have a credit card. Stackable as well as said before on the thread, buy 4 for €40 for 12 month sub.

rhonin

One year subscription for €34.79

I was sceptical when it first arrived but when I got it I never looked back. Cannot recommend it highly enough, especially with the Instant Game Collection. If you sub now for €37, the cost of one game, you'll get, over the next month:

Batman Arkham City
Bioshock 2
LOTR: Guardians of Middle Earth
Mortal Kombat
Vanquish
Big Sky Infinity
Limbo
Ratchet and Clank All 4 One
Bulletstorm
Cubixx HD
Resident Evil 5
Infamous 2
Motorstorm Apocalyse
Little Big Planet 2
Knytt Underground
Dyad

and for Vita:
Gravity Rush
Mortal Kombat
Mutant Blobs Attack
Chronovolt
Uncharted Golden Abyss
Jet Set Radio
Pinball Arcade

As well as discounts on most new releases. Pays for itself and then some.

My mistake, that was a PS+ discount, not part of IGC

Beekay

Annoying that they have this discount only a few weeks after the 12 days of Christmas 3 month sub discounts.
