Yup. 4 games a month AND all that other stuff? C'mon...

@IMChampion
My "Yup" just went to "Nevermind".

chrisnick5834d ago

If i joined next year, and I get the 3month deal and download 4-5 months of free games and cancel and get to keep them, who's the real dummy? Me for paying for extra and getting to keep it? or sony practically giving me a couple hundred bucks worth of games for $18?

ShinMaster5834d ago (Edited 5834d ago )

Even if people say you never exactly "own" the games, the reason for that is because you're not paying for the game, just the service, although you can buy them independently.

There is still more info to be released regarding PS Plus.

Yes it is.

@OT

They didn't mention cross game chat but I'm sure it's in there. I'm sold! It's only 4 bucks a month, more than reasonable. Do Xbox live similar? Better?

callahan095834d ago

@ Action Bastard:

It'll still be worth it for the discounts you get on all PS Store content, and a lot of the content (just not all of it) is free to keep forever. I'm excited for the free downloadable copy of LittleBigPlanet. I love the idea of having that game on my hard drive where I can play it whenever I want without having to get up and replace the disc that's in my PS3, and I can lend my disc version out to friends and still have it on my hard drive. It's a good value.

ActionBastard5834d ago (Edited 5834d ago )

I read your earlier comparison to Netflix and in that light, I have zero issues. Once this goes live, they'll be getting $50 from me. Bubbles!

Kinda disappointed that you only get to keep the content as long as you retain your subscription. In essence its not really yours then.

@mercenarie
Not sure yet, no real stand out features for me in it. Really was looking forward to x-game chat and invites standard. It's not bad in anyway, all I'm saying is I'll wait and see what they offer in a month or two.

Philaroni5834d ago

You can't use your PS3 if you don't keep paying your power and net bill so is it really yours? Come on people you all expect Sony and MS to give you shit for free out of what? Good will? This stuff cost them much more then it will cost a single consumer such as me or you. The fact they are offering many incentives to more or less cover the cost of the service itself is a great gester in of it self.

ShinMaster5834d ago (Edited 5834d ago )

You don't exactly "own" the games because you never actually paid for them! You pay for the service.
You can still buy games outside of the service independently if you want.

IMChampion5834d ago (Edited 5834d ago )

You misunderstand me. It's like if you go to the game store and by a game its your game until you trade it or give it away, not so with this psn+. It's more like a rental service now. I'm not complaining because in the end I don't have to get it if I don't want, I'm just saying its a weird move. Like ShinoGino says, I'd rather go it that route.

webeblazing5834d ago

read what shin says again then

ShinMaster5833d ago

WIth PS Plus, you get discounts to 50%. And whatever you buy with that is yours to keep.

JackBNimble5834d ago

How many games a year would you get to play, aswell as the other features that come with PSN+ $50 a year is pretty good.

Consider this, how many games could you buy for $50? Not many.

PS3XBOX360WII5834d ago

This new found money they add cross game chat,central game invite system, better gamer cards, Home avatar on gamer cards, and see what friends are doing in game.

Tony-A5834d ago

I'm glad they're including automatic downloads and game trails in PSN+.

I think some of these features are very tempting, but I have to see how it works first. Didn't they say people will be getting PSN+ free for a limited time or something? Like a few weeks? IDK, they brushed by it, which was a shame. They had so much to say in such little time.

IMChampion5834d ago

I heard the same too. What I'm not sure about was if they said the 3month subscribers will get an additional 3 months or if every one will get 3 months free.

shadow27975834d ago

If you click the link, you can see that by buying a full-year subscription, you'll get an extra 3 months free.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5841d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905841d ago (Edited 5841d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5841d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5841d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495841d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5841d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5841d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
