"There are two betas for PlayStation Plus members coming up shortly and more details will be announced soon."

Please let it be LBP2!

1 PSN game or PSone Classic game

Interesting. I'm pretty sure they said you get both when they showed the lineup, now that's changed? It was asked in the comment section at least 10 times, and Lex completely dodged the question every time. Something fishy is going on here.

@JobForARockStar - That's what I thought, but according to PS you get one or the other, and when they was asked about it in the comment section, they completely ignored the comment and posted "Were trying to make PS+ a better service for everyone".

The thing that bothers me the most so far is the content they put for discount or free is SUPER OLD STUFF!!!...most of the free games i already bought them,i don't give a damn about the Minis and PSOne games that they put are the garbage ones. So far i've been dissapointed with Plus, it is a great deal for people that never bought anything on the Store and want to catch up now, but for me it hasn't done sh1t, i hope they change this in the near future and start putting discounts on day one arcade games and DLC releases or else this is just a waste of money. The only "value" i've been able to enjoy is Qore episodes and the game with that orange furby kind of animal. :(

So they are already backpedaling on what was promised.

* 1 PSN game or PSone Classic game ( supposed to be "and" not "or")
* 2 minis
* A monthly Qore single episode
Betas have limited invites and based on selection criteria not every PlayStation Plus member will get access to every beta. ( supposed to be everybody that payed for + not who ever they feel like inviting)

Come on Sony your supposed to be adding to the service not taking stuff away. And I like how the guy answering the questions uses runaround corp speak every time somebody asks about these issues.

PS+ is not worth it unless you use the PS Store

it is basically a discount service, it isn't anything

other then that.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
