Oh I thought playstation had free online! WTF

So I don't have any ps3 games, my dad just has a ps3 in the family room he hardly plays games and mostly uses the internet on it. Anyway Im going through PS Store today and I see the MAG demo, I wanna download it, but only avaliable for "Playstation plus" members, WTF. Now I can't download demo's cause I need a 40$ a year subscription, screw playstation....at least on xbox you can download everything even if you just have a silver membership, you just can't play online and join parties.

On Xbox if you have a silver membership you have to wait for the demos to become available to you.

MAG was terrible IMO

Zathic

was about to say this

NO

See the little plus symbol next to a few things, that means you need PS PLus, Pretty much 90 percent of the demos are free demos, just the ones with the PLUS symbol you need PS PLus, MAG is only multiplayer, and PS Plus gets you free stuff, so yeah.........

PSN does have free online play. Early demos is just a benefit to PS Plus membership. XBox Live gold membership has a similer kind of thing going.

I'll still take free multiplayer for all of my games instead of a free demo any day...

mass effect 2, dead space 2, and little big planet 2 were all free last week. I'd take those over a crappy MAG demo any day..

If you're going to try and raise a stink, it should be over something that matters. "MAG"? I'd hardly say you're missing anything, or that your rights as a gamer are being impuned. Online Gaming on the PS3 is still free, so your topic is deceptive and you, it would seem, are poorly informed.

Good Day to you.

Complainer. First off, MAG had a beta awhile back b4 the game came out and every one could play it. It's one demo and its not even that great lol.

Sony's sneaky way of making you buy PS+.

With XBL you pay your $50 just to play online, regardless if you want a demo/etc. or not. PS+ will save you money on Games, DLC's ,and exclusive Demos and MP Betas, so your technically only paying a fraction of the cost. XBL, not so much :D, unless you count Avatars as something worth money. Also you get tons of FREE demos anyways, the PS+ ones i've seen right now are only 1 hour trials or whatever, which is actually very good, unless you actually want to waste money on a new game you have no idea if you'll even like.

I also like how you guys never reply back, you just like the squirming.

cause mag isnt really a demo it is a full game trial there is a difference only playstation plus members get to download the full game trials

I cant tell if the tool is being serious b/c his complaint is so ludicrous. Go back to your XBL then, it's just one less ignorant person on psn which benefits the rest of us.

PS3 has free online, but it doesnt have free games too often(maybe once an year for those PSN downloadable only games), I think that's what you are whining about. Anyway, if you want free games, try pc. btw Your logic is funny

Having demo's available only to plus subscribers has got to be the dumbest thing yet. A demo is an advertisement for the game - made for the purpose of getting people to buy the game. Why in the world would they limit the number of people who can access it?

LOL. Whatever. Typical.

You find "ONE" of the small percentage of items on the PS network that require you to have a paid subscription and you draw a trollish conclusion like that?? Sounds like flamebait.....

It was actually the MAG 1 hour trial. There is no demo. Only a beta that expired ages ago. Think before you say ok?
