Does anyone know if downloads are active while you play a game or do they pause? thought a patch was released to fix this or was I reading about ps4?

RangeR

Any online action pauses downloads.

Oh right, so playing a game offline lets downloads work away

It downloads but I find their speeds reduced. playing singleplayer even signed in allows downloads. its when you play single player that I'm unsure of.

While playing a game go to your XMB and check if its "pending" , that means paused, or straight downloading.

Varies by game.

Cool, will check that next time, thanks lads.

It's pretty much the only thing it's missing.

I guess I'm grateful you've shown me this, but I've a feeling my wallet isn't.

Even outside PS+, it's like there is a sale ever Wednesday over the last month or so. I'm happy with just new content, don't mind a big list of sales as well.

It seems PS+ benefits non subscribers as well since I notice a lot of games included in the IGC can be later bought for cheap at retail.

Go to game you have installed from psn+ press triangle and check for more info then scroll down to expiry date.

My recommendation is ALWAYS, if you are a PS+ subscriber, get at least a 1TB HDD. You may not need it now but you will need it very soon. Better to go through the pain now, before you have a full drive as there is no way to transfer without two PS3's.

Is it easy enough to copy games onto a HDD? Why would you need two PS3's?

The ONLY way of transferring downloaded games from one hard disk to another is by daisychaining two PS3's together. However, it's really not as easy as that. You really need .... 3 HDD's and two PS3's.

• PS3 A with original HDD : Transfer games to PS3 B with original HDD [or other]
• Swap your huge HDD into PS3 A and format [12 - 24~ hours if full format]
• Swap games from PS3 B to PS3 A
• And your done.

You probably have to have your master PSN account on both machines for this to work.
It's fiddly because each PS3 encrypts it's hard drive in a way that it will ONLY work with that PS3.

If you have the bandwidth, it really is just easier to download again. There is also a limit of concurrent downloads. From memory, I think it's around 15 items. You can't even queue more than that 15 item limit. so every few days, you have to go back and keep adding to your download queue.

So are we getting Six PS3 games for June, or just the games that's already been announced?

MitchKoobski

We're getting three on Wednesday, but with E3 coming up in two weeks, there's a chance they could give us more around E3 mid-June to celebrate the birthday of PS Plus.

I'd say we are looking at the yearly rotation of the two first party titles, LBP2 and Infamous 2. If you haven't already added them to your account, do it now.

It's been 12 months. I can't remember
I think yer right, though.

ShadowHearth

I wonder if there is a chance of Disgeae 3 coming back up on ps vita again. I was not a member of awesome PS+ club when it poped up

RangeR

If it appeared on Ps+ before, your chances are slim. Not impossible, but slim. they haven't repeated a PS+ IGC so far, in it's inaugural 12 months.
