Additional PSN Plus Freebies

Hopefully by now all PS3 owners have jumped on to the fixed PSN to download their two freebies. But as I’m sure you are aware, in addition to the two free games there is a free 30 day subscription to Playstation Plus to be taken advantage of. While any ‘free’ games you download through this service can only be played while you are signed up to Playstation Plus, that is 30 days (more than enough) to get your fill of a couple of different titles, maybe rack up some more trophies, before you fully get into your two selected Welcome Back Package free games.

I had a Europe account and I downloaded Burnout but it seems it wont let me connect online. Maybe due to region. Just wanted those online trophies lol. Anyone know if I buy the North American version if I will be able to use the same game save?

itsralf5477d ago

Doubt it. I couldn't use my old disc save with the digital copy from the PS Store.

RedDevils5477d ago

weird I download all the free games including infamous, Little big planet, Dead nation, and with free psn+ 30 days all in one account lmao, I thought it couldn't be possible :p

AllroundGamer5478d ago

can anyone tell me if i will lose a free DLC for a game too after the PSN Plus expires? thx

Lirky5478d ago

you lose free dlc after ps+ expires, however if u paid for discounted dlc and discounted games u keep those forever.

Soldierone5478d ago

Kinda lame the stuff I want to buy (Socom and Killzone DLC) is FREE. They should discount it so I can just buy it lol

Kleptic5478d ago

I have that killzone 3 DLC free from that shick promotion, but haven't actually activated it yet..need to do that, it expires next week I think....

the dude is right about burnout paradise...great game, but i already platinum'd it and still own it...i'm going to wait until the 16th to activate the PSN plus thing after I see whats available next...

M-Easy5478d ago

You DO keep all DLC, Themes and Avatars you get. Some people have poor reading comprehension.

From FAQ:
Each month there will be dynamic themes, premium avatars and premium game elements/add-ons for you to download and many will be exclusive to PlayStation Plus members only. These are yours to keep forever once you have downloaded them.

Ravenor5478d ago

Escalation would have been a better choice for MAG, no one really likes Interdiction.

schlanz5478d ago

For anyone who purchased their PS3 in the last year, now would be the perfect time to get the extended warranty which is discounted to $45 (iirc) for PS+ members. That's two extra years of peace of mind for your console. If I was eligible I'd be all over that.

Kleptic5478d ago

do you know if it applies to replacement PS3's you receive from Sony?...

I traded in my bricked 60gb for a 120gb slim in february...and it only had a 90 day warranty...

Phaqutomb5477d ago

i can't see why it would not as long as you pay for it they should honor it.

Kee5478d ago

I'm already a plus member so I downloaded that magic the gathering game and it's actually quite good.

Having never played the card game it's based on, I found it a good introduction to it. I've already played the campaign mode for around 5 hours.

grailly5478d ago

the game's ok, I guess, but it gets really slow as you start up with basic decks with way to much land cards. the games can easily slip into a "wait 10 turn until I get the right card" game. otherwise, I read that there only were 250 cards, which seems really low, any info on that?

Kee5478d ago

It would sound about right... There are expansion packs, but I don't think I'll buy any of them.

Myst5478d ago

Yeah if you have never played the card game it's pretty good starter, but if you've played the card game it annoys those who have to no end lol. All it would need is a proper deck construction (being able to take out everything and make one from scratch)

Myst5478d ago

That store sure is taking a beating. So far I'm really liking Comet Crash and hopefully tonight I can watch those movies I downloaded.

FunAndGun5478d ago

Thats what I love about Plus, you get to try a lot of decent games you normally wouldn't have...like Coment Crash.

Mushroom Wars is another game that I got from Plus that I was mildly addicted to for a little bit.

Myst5478d ago

I'll have to look into that game to. Re-living my younger years now by playing Sonic 2.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle35d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7735d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde42d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy42d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12542d ago (Edited 42d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7744d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga43d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199243d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga43d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman43d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger43d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box43d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion43d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7243d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7543d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit43d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14943d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7743d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
