    No, but you can set up a UK account and use it on that. Games downloaded will still work on your Irish account. Only thing is, you'll need to top up the sub on the UK account.

    ah was just wondering cause amazon are giving away fifa on the vita for free if you bought a certain item and a 90 day sub was the cheapest item on the list.

    Set up a UK account buy two of the 90 day subs and trade one FIFA in. Ah Fcuk it's a code for FIFA, not worth the hassle IMO.

    Is there anywhere to get a list of all the ps+ games out and coming out. Also does ps+ back date or can I only download games that are out from when I start a subscription. Thanks

    This thread. Read it. All the info is there on current games.

    It doesn't back date, although that info is here too.

    Lads, I know I will sound like an idiot, but can someone explain plus service?

    You pay subscription, for which you get discounts on games? I see some games announced free for plus subscribers. How does that work? Can you just download it and play those games as long as you got sub?

    I am asking as I am planing on getting a TV for my mancave and dust off ps3 until ps4 or/and Wii u . if I can get some games just from sub, then it would be very handy for me. I don't want to buy any extra games now.

    Pretty much on the money. You pay for your subscription, each month you get some free games, that you can play for as long as you have a subscription. For example, in the last couple of months, I have gotten Sleeping Dogs, Mortal Kombat, F1 Team Racers, and a pox load more for no extra cost. Hitman and Catherine are out next month for free. There is also discounts on games that you can buy.

    "Thomas was alone" is excellent, reminds me if Tetris mixed with Limbo !

    The story is quirky , sound is great and puzzles/platforms are tricky but not over difficult.

    @PlayStation: Get $100 off a PS3 bundle http://t.co/SwfTsx9gtn or PS Vita bundle http://t.co/LTZ3EZaYol with PS Card. And earn 10x points on PSN purchases

    wonder if anyone can advise,...have a current ps+ thats up in november..got the card in argos...it was uk one but i got it sorted with a new psn account... ive noticed theyve started to phase out the uk ones here (think it was an ordering error...uk being argos home country, they just shipped them to here)..... if i cant find a uk card & reknew my sub with an irish one and revert to my other psn will l loose the licence for any games from ps+ i have on the uk account,.... im goin thru games at my own pace dont want to have to rush my playin in order to clear the games before november

    anyone been in a simular position?...wonder what happens if you move from eire to the uk and want to take ur ps or vita with all ur irish ps+ games,...would you loose the licence to play em once you reknewed with a uk ps+ eventou u had have the games installed?

    As with all the people who ask, regarding games you have installed, if you check the details of each game, you may see an expiry date on some. These will almost definitely lock down when your sub is up.

    If you think of each account as a person, you'll see why your games won't transfer to your irish account. Sorry chief

    I actually got a UK 90 day PSN sub as a present and was quite browned off to find out I couldn't top up my IE PSN account with it. Especially as I have a Vita and it's annoying one-account restriction.

    I still have it if you want to trade for an old game or something?

    Moving out of Ireland has nothing to do with PS+, it doesn't care where you live.
    So long as you renew your subscription, the games will be available to play.

    Hitman (with sniper challenge, zenith gun, deus ex disguise and online contracts), Catherine and Malicious are ready to download now. Just search for them. Beat the download rush later. :)

    Loved the trippy missions in Far Cry 3 but that looks like some sort of crazy 80s cyberpunk extravaganza using Far Cry 3 code.

    Noticed that and almost cried. Was looking forward to a few games of Hitman before I went out house hunting.

    I thought I read somewhere that you can only play against the AI though...and you can do that in Far Cry 3 or Red Dead...

    Yeah but where else can you play against Claptrap from borderlands and Ash from Evil Dead and have GLaDOS as your dealer. Worth a tenner alone just to listen to their stories.

    Took around 4 hours for it to download for me, but I'm lucky enough to have a 150meg UPC connection.

    The install is taking an age , around half an hour so far.

    Just watched this. Instant tenner gone from my wallet! Looks (and more importantly SOUNDS) brilliant!

    Actually laugh out loud when Claptrap starts making WUB WUB music and the conversation that follows.

    Similar for me. Just started downloading Catherine (9.5 GB), it will take approximately 4 1/2 hours. I am probably looking for double that time for Hitman, so I will leave it downloading all night.
