SeanR Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 so if I buy another one PS+ sub today at £30 I get two years for £60? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc NI Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 yes Sean, done that myself. PS who negged me for recounting my experiences of PS+? if it was the MS dropped the ball comments, well for me they have. for 8 years I have been the biggest proponent of xbox, but they make it so hard to actually buy and enjoy DL games now I dont think I can back them for xbox720, at least not initially. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacehost Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 This is also true if you ever bought a game on XBLA, PSN and arguably, Steam. There's no "arguably" about it. I like the idea of renting a game collection indefinitely rather than buying them; works pretty damn well for films, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudley Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Not really, which is why I buy albums on iTunes literally every week but buy TV series on iTunes approximately never. If TV goes DRMfree on iTunes I'm going to have a lot less money. Renting semi-indefinetly if fine, if it's cheap enough, Steam sales certainly are. Full 360 games certainly are not, especially when you add the £5 the hard drive space will cost you on that format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hmmm, my PS3 is fritzed (which I'm given to understand is the console's normal state) but this is still tempting, assuming I bother to repair/replace it down the line. Once you've signed up for a plus account can you claim each month's games without a PS3? I'm looking on the psn site and don't see any way to actually buy downloadable games on there :-/ so I'm guessing not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hombre_hompson Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Dammit. Reading this thread has cost me thirty quid. I thought I could resist. I thought it was too good to be true, that there must be a catch. But there isn't is there? Looking forward to playing some games that I wouldn't of considered otherwise, hoping for some pleasant surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirtle Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 So I just signed up to this. Chucked all the free stuff in my basket and told it to download them all, then cancelled them. They're all now sat in my downloaded section. So that's all I need to do to make sure I can get them at a later date, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Do 71 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 As long as you've got that red bag icon thingy, on all the games you want. Then yes, you can download them at your will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanR Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 ok, so I've got two years of PS+ now HOWEVER... why's it taken 50 mins to install 6% of RDR so far? is it because I'm re-doing the 15GB infamous 2 download that failed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhu Steev Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 ok, so I've got two years of PS+ now HOWEVER... why's it taken 50 mins to install 6% of RDR so far? is it because I'm re-doing the 15GB infamous 2 download that failed? It doesn't really like installing when it's still downloading, in my experience. Just put auto update on for the early hours and turn off your PS3, it'll look after all your remaining downloads then install them for you.

Avuncular Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Trying to download Saints Row 2 which is 7185MB but it keeps saying there's not enough room on the HDD. I deleted a load of stuff and there's 12GB free. WTF is going on? I don't think there's anything more I can delete. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmo Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think it needs double for the installation. You need 30 free for Infamous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanR Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 seems like every download requires TWICE the space. 1 for the download, and another for the install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehStu Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 And that, again, is where Sony digital downloads have the edge. Seen the price of MS hard drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketchup Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I took the plunge and instantly remembered why i hardly touch my PS3, let alone the PS3 store. It takes FOREVER to do anything, just flashing buttons whilst it loads and if im extra lucky nothing, almost like its frozen before it lets me add to cart or download. Took me 20 minutes to add the free games, now to wait many weeks whilst it downloads compared to the 360 which is lighning fast. Ultimately its worth it but gah, what a terribly slow system.

Hitcher Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 And that, again, is where Sony digital downloads have the edge. Seen the price of MS hard drives? About £40-50 if you get a compatible laptop hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarik Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I subscribed to PS+ just before Xmas last year & it practically paid for itself with the special offer games it gave me over that time. The fact that they only remain "yours" for as long as you're a subscriber doesn't bother me as I play & enjoy the games, then move on & I still have the memories. If I ever "lose" Infamous 2 or whatever I will still always remember playing & enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanR Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 and after all that the RDR install crashed 80029564 is the error... the recommended fix is to download it again. ok, so I'm currently downloading Infamous 2 twice, one at 80% the other at 19... oh, it's crashed.

SF-02 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm tempted to get this as will hopefully be buying a ps3 in a few weeks but is it activated instantly when purchased, or when I activate it myself on the ps3? I was thinking of buying from hmv online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiMuBai Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yeah I don't understand people moaning that once their PS+ sub runs out that they can't play the older free games again. I very rarely, if ever, go back to a game once I've completed it. I keep buying psone games and psp games for my Vita, and haven't played any of them yet. And any game that I'm likely to put a significant amount of hours into will most likely be a day one purchase anyway. Do people really play stuff like infamous, and then decide a year later that they want to go back and play it again? MP games not withstanding.

womblingfree Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yeah I don't understand people moaning that once their PS+ sub runs out that they can't play the older free games again. It's just a shift in consuming that can take a bit of getting used to. Once PSN+ has matured you should get way more selection for the small price of entry. As it stands £2.50 a month is great value. Netflix is the model of the future, pay a reasonable amount for content. You're always free to go out and buy that stuff yourself, but when a months subscription costs less than a single game or DVD in a bargain bucket then it just seems a unbeatable deal. It's also a much better service than piracy, which addresses what Steve Jobs said, you don't stamp out piracy by legislation, you stamp it out by making what you offer a better service than getting the stuff illegally.
