[QUOTE="jshaas"]Okay, so far I'm really liking Plus. I downloaded everything that was "free" last night... I figure that's the only way to really justify the subscription. I'm not sure what happened to Wipeout HD though. I downloaded the "full game," but it's not showing up on my games list. Do I need to have the demo as well?tommyas
How large was the 'full' game download? if it was just a small file, you might need to download the demo (if the 'full' game was just an unlock key).

This.

I downloaded the wipeout full game demo, and then I downloaded the unlock key which made the demo the full game.

Thanks guys. I figured that's what my problem was;)

All that free stuff the OP downloaded will be locked out to him if he ever cancels or if their is a problem with his payment method. That is not "free stuff". That is a rental. I also noticed that the PSone "classic" rental isn't even a real classic at all, just a random crappy old racing game no one was buying anyway. Until the free stuff is actually free, this is a rip off to me.SteveTabernacle
I'm sure this was mentioned before, but all avatars, add-ons, themes, or any other DLC that isn't a full game is ours to keep regardless of subscription status. I think the big misunderstanding here is that we're paying $50 per year for games, DLC, etc. We're not! We're paying the $50 per year to fund improvements to the Playstation Network. Improvements that most PS3 users are crying out for... like better servers, cross-game chat, and a better service overall. Since the PSN is directly compared to XBL, these future improvements are neccessary if we want it to be as good as XBL apparently is. I don't own a 360 so I wouldn't know... I'm just going with what I've read over and over again. With that being said, the games that are offered for "free" are just a nice incentive for those of us that will pay the $50 per year for PS+.

Can you change your PSN name, or display name?tigertechie
Afraid not, apparently there are quite a few people asking for that feature so hopefully Sony take not. I'd imagine it would be a one time free offer if you had PS+ and then an extra charge if you wanted to change it anytime after that.

That would be nice. Not really a big deal for me though, but I'd like the option. Something I would like to see is the ability to select what new features you want out of the system updates. Being able to do a checklist similar to when you set up your video output would be very nice for me. 3.40 had some cool features with the video editing, and picture sharing... but I don't keep personal videos or photos on my PS3. I know many users do, and that's why I'd like the option to choose what I get out of an update.

Ihave 2 questions.

Are Plus updates (discounts, etc.) gonna be updated every week with the store?

Also, how long is the "buy and get 3 free months" deal gonna last? So you're getting 15 months for 50$

It will update monthly, but I would think we would still get discounts on the weekly updated content as well. The 3 month deal is until August 3rd.

With most of that stuff a rental will more than suffice - and if someone keeps their Plus membership for the full 15 months they'll have plenty of time to play the downloadable games to the point where they'll never want to play them again and won't mind them disappearing. But yeah, I expect most of the PS1 offerings to be garbage. The rally game is horrible, and it's insulting that Sony would even try and foist it off (way to make the first month look good). I played about a minute of one race and immediately quit the game and deleted it.

I think its nice to have the option. Aside from that, I don't plan on getting PS+ because I could care less about the 5.99 crappy games. I'm not a person that pushes others out of my way to be the first to play a game so having access to certain demo's etc. doesn't interest me. I take pictures of things off the internet and make my own wallpapers.

To be honest, PS+ doesn't give you free anything. Thats like saying "All this is free for just 11.99!". I prefer spending money when I want to instead of paying for things that MIGHT be cool. But its nice to have a choice instead of being forced to pay for PSN.

The exact same stuff being complained about now. Free games should be free not rentals.

No. As stated numerous times in this topic. See this thread for more info http://au.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27363703
