PlayStation Plus: After Three Months

TAWKN: PlayStation Plus has been out now for three full months. If you signed up for the three-month teaser, which recently expired, you might be asking yourself if you should renew. When I signed up, I got an extra three bonus months with my annual subscription, as did anyone else who has signed up for the term so far. It is now that my actual subscription truly begins, and as a lead-in to that, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on how the service has treated us so far.

Game-ur5706d ago

I caved in just for the Castilevania demo, but got more than I bargained for with the ACB beta, R&C quest for booty, Sam & Max and Abe's Odyssey

NecrumSlavery5706d ago

US has gotten shafted on demos and betas,

darthv725706d ago

right now plus is a discount store for members only. At some point they will most likely open the gates to a flood of members only content. Maybe even some exclusive dlc for games that you need to be a member to get.

They are certainly watching the numbers of enrollment. If it is not where they want it to be you can bet they will pull that trigger and make this more incentive than before.

Members only home spaces, members only dlc, members only stuff you just cant get even being a freebie.

plb5706d ago

Exactly why I won't pay for plus at this point. Europe gets all the good stuff.

JUDALATION5706d ago

and It has only been three months..

Mushroom wars... Critter crunch... Zen Pinball... lITTLE BIG PLANET 2... AND BETA ACESS TO DEAD SPACE 2.. and all for a measly Fifty bucks! I wonder how these guys will possibly make a profit... Seriously its a must buy if you like trying different games... IF YOU WERE A DOUCH WHO EXPECTED A NEW GAME LIKE DEAD SPACE 2 EVERY MONTH THEN LOLLL

maxcer5706d ago

lol $50 for some shitty games and some betas that publishers used to pay people to test? i bet you its all profit for them.

betas.. lol, it went from getting paid to test games to being free to people paying the publisher to test games.

Vip3r5706d ago

Too bad the US store is light years ahead of the EU store for content and demos.

xino5706d ago

but will you even play those games again?

Lords of Shadow,
Vanquish
FiFa 11
pro evo soccers
Blacks Ops
Ps Move games
MoH

games are coming out...so I don't think you wouldn't have time to play those games you downloaded.

avengers19785706d ago

I've found it well worth the price, but am hoping they bring more to the service, I'm still wating for that Token Challenge thing.

dangert125706d ago

I <3 PS +

I already had
syphon filter
burn zombie burn
and another one i cant remember
and even though ps+ giving them away is of no use to me its a sick service

Period

PS3_lifer5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

It's a nice service but they need to keep working on it. I want more content! lol

Love all the free games/themes/auto updates/demos and stuff. They need more services similar to xbox live.

Hellsvacancy5706d ago

I bought in2 3 months subscription, it ended last week, no bother though 1 of my EU buddys has a years PS+ and i hav a friend in the US who also has a years worth of PS+ so i wont b missin out on anythin, they get there fair share of content from me so it balances itself out

Terarmzar5706d ago

My subscription ended on the 28th last month
i would renew it but have insufficient funds on debt card lol

olLANDSHARKlo5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

How do you not have $50 for a year subscription? This is the type of person that downs xbox live, the one who cannot manage money. I mean my accounts get no where near being down to $50 in it, that's crazy. I am now believing that maybe PSN is full of poor folks and people who cannot manage money, xbox live is for the rich, and people that know how to handle the expenses, hence I think that spells PSN=kids Xbox live=adults. It sure seems this way, and I have both services, so don't reply there's more kids on xbox live, like the fanboys always do, cause there is definitely more on PSN.

Terarmzar5706d ago

Because im only 18 and i do not have a job
and to let you know i only paid for the 3 month subscription so that was $18.00 not $50.00
and wow your such a troll...

Holeran5706d ago

Don't let him ruffle your feathers Tazz. He's being a troll douchebag for no other reason than to be one.

JoeReno5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

@ phibalnation

You sir are a wart on a trolls d!ck

How are you going to fault someone for being broke at a time when most of the country is.

divideby05706d ago

@ phibalnation

you really should PREVIEW what you write.... than you would realize what a poor excuse for a "gamer" you come across

I have both services and go play Reach and than you will realize how besides silly, wrong you are

trounbyfire5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

why every week there is an article about ps +,
are people really trying to convince others not to but ps +
COME ON i am getting tired of "it _____ week are you happy with ps +" ITS BS

JoeReno5706d ago

I agree wholeheartedly. Every week another one of these comes out and its tired. Please stop beating this dead horse.

dangert125706d ago

i think its relivent its not like xbox live were most thing stay the same since launch up till now with small additions
playstation plus is always changing and adding content so why not?

JoeReno5706d ago

Sure its always changing, but I guess what im talking about are headings that read "playstation plus week17... Is it worth it" the short answer is, and has been since day one yes. Ive downloaded way more than 50$ worth of content in 3 months

While this artical is more of a reflection on the past three months its tone in the headline felt the same as the is it worth it ones.

adolson5706d ago

JoeReno, please tell me what a better headline would have been. I debated several, and settled on this one, though I wasn't entirely happy with it.

And for the record, it's the first and only piece I wrote about Plus. Just because one person writes an article about Plus, does that mean that nobody else should? Kotaku can't do it because IGN did it? 1UP can't do it because Giant Bomb did it? And so on down the line?

If we only ever needed one of anything, there would be only one website with one review per game. There'd be only one game console. We'd only have one FPS, one RPG, and one RTS.

DigitalEnemy5706d ago

Simple : PS+ needs featurs to entice subscribers to re-sign up.

I know this may annoy a few of you, but Cross Game Chat alone would see Sony adoption rate of PS+ go through the roof...

JoeReno5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

I know I for one am waiting on new features. I could careless about crossgamechat but I see you point and agree even though the kids might whine about paying for psplus to get it they would.

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 Souls5825d ago

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

Godmars2905825d ago (Edited 5825d 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.

ClownBelt5825d 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-Pyro5825d 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.

Anon73495824d 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.

RedDevils5824d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5824d ago

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