Cross buy too so you get the vita version also.

Godd price, I just doubt i'd play it that much. Having a vita is the only reason why i've been thinking it over.

Usually the first store update of the month, so Wednesday here in europe and Tuesday in the US; the 3rd and 2nd respectively.

But more stuff changes throughout the month rather than the first update.

Leaving PS Plus in April:
3rd April: Mass Effect 3
3rd April: Mortal Kombat
3rd April: Guardians of Middle Earth
10th April: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
24th April: Puddle

Entering PS Plus in April:

3rd April: Okami HD
3rd April: Lord of the Rings: War in the North
3rd April: The Cave
10th April: Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward
24th April: Thomas Was Alone

Wish there was something better for Vita.

Damn Americans are getting Disgaea for Vita for their plus, hope we get it cheap sometime in that Easter egg deal, I wouldn't mind paying €19.99 for it.

jaxdasher

American Psn+ is getting Demon Souls. They finally are getting something good. Though I want it too.

grabbed the service for the first time today, from what i can gather i keep the games until i stop subbing and if i resub he games will work again, if i unsub and somehow the games get deleted/my ps3 breaks will they still be in my download list if i resub?

Umpalumpa

Its all tied in to ur log in details.u can log in to any ps3 and retrieve ur games

If I have multiple accounts on my PS3 and only have PS+ on one of them will the other accounts be able to play the PS+ games?

Yes.

Spec Ops The Line and Duke Nukem Forever. What an odd combination. I'd love to play Spec Ops but I unfortunately already own that PoS game bundled with it.

The bundle-only discounts are silly, they should be individually discounted as well/instead. Besides people who might not want one or the other, it negates the benefit of the sale for customers who've already bought one of them. The last three two-packs for me have been no use. Couldn't get The Unfinished Swan discounted cos I already bought Journey, couldn't get Killzone HD cod I'd bought inFamous FoB, now this. This one isn't AS bad because the bundle happens to be cheaper than the digital copy of Spec Ops, but still more expensive than getting it retail

so if i replace the ps3 the games will still be in my download list as psplus content? and even if i cancel and resub in the mean time will the games that have dissappeared be gone or is it up to the download list?

There are no guarantees. Nobody knows for sure. So far this has been the case. You stop paying and you take your chances. Sony's official response is that they MAY not be there if you resub. Anyone who says otherwise is just guessing/hoping.

you're limited by the number of ps3s that your account can have active at any one time, if you replaced 2 PS3s and didn't deactivate them then you won't be able to used any of the games on your download list.

Go onto the Sony SEN site and you can deactivate all PS3s there but you're only allowed to do that so often, the best thing is to deactivate a PS3 before you sell it or if it's starting to act up.

MitchKoobski

For what it's worth, I called up Sony before asking them to de-activate any other PS3 that had my account active other than the current one/newest one.

I had two old early PS3's that broke quite easily, but never knew about de-activating them. That being said, they both suffered YLOD, so I couldn't even turn them on to de-activate the account.

I was told this was not possible, and it was my own fault for not knowing beforehand.

Do you have a link to that part of the SEN site where I can make an attempt at doing it myself? It is becoming quite annoying as the years go by.

Zero-Cool

You should be able to remove it here

https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/login.action

It removes all accounts so just reactivate the ones you have now next time you turn them on. Had to do this when my PS3 was robbed a few months back, very handy.

MitchKoobski

Thanks! I'll give it a go when I get home later on. It's currently activated on my personal PS3, and the family one (so younger brother can access LBP content). They're both over 3 years old. Stupid question but, I'm guessing 2 PS3's is the limit since 2011?

Zero-Cool

I'm not sure on the limit, I imagine you can activate as many as you want. I think the Playstation Store only allows 2 downloads of a specific file instead of 5 since 2011. Might be wrong tho.

jaxdasher

Okami, LOTR and The Cave are available to download now.

bitburger

pre 2011 content can still be activated 5 times anything after it is twice, think licensing prevented them from taking away the extra 3 activations,


you can do the deactivate all thing on the web once every 6 months.

be a real shame if i unsubbed because my ps3 broke and if 3 months later i resubbed and couldnt get the old content back

Okami works so much better with the dualshock than the wii version :pac:

CastorTroy

Really? Figured the only way would work better would be if had touchscreen DS style (Okami on Wii U would be great) or is it just because you couldn't get the Dualshock to sync with the Wii. :P

Will I Amnt

Thank feck I checked out Okami on YouTube first. That could have been a waste of time and bandwith.
Looks like the greatest pile of shìte I've ever seen :pac:

Each to their own and all that, I could not see myself enjoying 1 second of that kind of thing.

Do you like the Zelda games? If so then you'd probably enjoy Okami.

Wouldn't be anywhere near my favourites but Zelda is enjoyable. I don't see the connection... or Link if you're into wordplay

Okami is probably the best non-Zelda Zelda game made (if you understand what I mean). They're similar games, just instead of new items you uncover new brush techniques.

Exactly. I wasn't sure of it at first but decided to get it on the wii. I'm currently playing the sequel on the DS.
