This is what's in Canada:

finalstar2007

Yours is way diffrent, as i said on my post above im also in Canada and i got Wipeout HD, did you subscribe to the 3 months? do you hold a sub account or a master account on PSN? maybe thats the thing, dont know tbh

3 months, I was stupidly expecting LBP (which I don't own) and various other things that were not there. Maybe WipeOutHD doesn't show up because I own it all ready? I bought it during the spring sale, one of my fav games...

Also master account, I don't live with my parents, lol

PSN+ is the greatest idea ever by Sony, I'm checking out the PS store and they have games like Wipeout HD, Destruction Derby and DLC like the Killzone DLC packs that have little +'s on them meaning if you get PSN+ you get that stuff for free :o !!!GAMESPOT PARAGRAPH PLEASE!!! That's just insane, Live makes you pay to play games you already bought, while PSN+ GIVES YOU GAMES AND DLC! :o !!!GAMESPOT PARAGRAPH PLEASE!!! The awesome is just too strong, MS really needs to get their stuff together. PSN+ is like a discount + rental service + free DLC service. And you know how Sony rolls they'll just keep adding and adding and adding content.TehNubTuber

I ama long time Sony fan...and I think you need to dial it down a bit. XBL still has a number of features, like cross game chat, that while I don't know what the point is, is still something Sony doesn't offer.

Plus, Sony has already said that they won't keep "adding and adding content". Much of this content is only available for a limited time and next months content will replace it. And games like Wipeout are only available as long as you keep paying the fee. So stop paying the fee and you can't play Wipeout, or future full games, any more.

Then there is the issue that all PAY services eventually face; the issue that a successful pay services eventually sucks up things that USED to be free. So if PSN+ is successful, then I can see Sony starting to remove stuff from the free service and moving it to the pay service. This ALWAYS happens.

I'm going to get PSN+ for a bit to see if it is for me or not, but I wouldn't call it "mindblowingly awesome".

Dude Sony said they WOULD keep adding content what are you talking about? And With Live once you stop paying the online portion of all your games stops working too... Not sure why your calling PSN+ on that if your such a big PS3 fan and ignoring Live tremendous flaws.

What are you talking about? :| All dlc and games that you download from XBL will always be available whether you have a gold service or not.

Ya everything with a + is free for PSN+ users, and every month more content. Insance value, Live doesn't give you anything... And MS forces dev's to charge for DLC... I can totally see Sony making tons of deals for free DLC for PSN+ owners.

So you're happy because you get stuff after paying for it? This service makes me feel like I'd be paying for swag. I couldn't care less about all of this. I just want to play my games online for free. As long as Sony doesn't force us to pay to play our games online then I'll be happy.

Cows all over the internet are under the illusion that all Xbox LIVE content can only be played when your console is online.

This is, of course, false.

Really? What does your region offer? That screen I showed you has 2 free games: Rally Cross and Age Of Zombies, 1 free dlc Warhawk, 2 free skins and a free theme...that's it... UK gets a full ps3 game, a bunch of dlc, 4 games on top of dlc and more...I don't see how my region is better. Most of those + are MASSIVE $1 DISCOUNTS!

I have 30+ XBLA games and countless DLC and none of it requires you to be online to access/use/play it.

Paying for free games, guaranteed beta invites or paying for features that should be free and are free on the competition.. Not giving me much of a choice here.

i browsed it a couple hours ago and its nothing to get excited about. the fact that you pay money to not own the content you purchased is just weird to me. the stuff they are offering is lame. if youre like the biggest sony fan ever, then this would be good. but if youre not, its crap

How much is this in £££?

clyde46

£40 a year and when you get Wipeout and LBP you've made a fair whack of your cash back which is pretty nice when you think bout it.The big sour grape for me is those arent yours after you unsubscribe so i say NO DEAL tbh.

How was that well said? It makes no sense in the context of this thread, is he implying 360 users have gotten tons of free games and content from Live? Cause that a straight up lie.

And to clarify:

It's PlayStation Plus, NOT PlayStation Network Plus. Sony was very specific about that. Why the distinction? Well, because PS+ only enhances the PlayStation Store... and that's it. It adds very little, if anything, to PSN.

No no and no. Your using very vague and unbased claims to discredit this amazing new service. Live doesn't give you anything for the fee, they milk you for something you already payed for. PSN+ in it's first month alone is already more value packed then Live has been since the beginning of this gen, and every month the value will grow.

You all do realize what Sony is doing? No? Well, let me tell you. They are preparing their user base to pay for online service (i.e. Xbox Live) next gen. While they willl be "giving" free games and such, ultimately, PSN will be just like Live. Pay to play. Which is not all bad, considering it will allow them to invest in more bandwidth and centralized servers for it.

Did you write "!!!GAMESPOT PARAGRAPH PLEASE!!!" because it doesn't create a new paragraph for you when you create a new line? If yes then I know what you mean. It's annoying. Sometimes I've noticed that you can create a new paragraph if you make sure there's no whitepace following the ending of a paragraph and then you hit enter to start a new paragraph. But I think that this has failed me a few times too. Something worth trying though. Try it out and click preview to see if it works.

Not interested in PSN+. I don't spend much money on the ps store, plus the features don't wow me. It may be a good value to you now, but as time goes on. I think you'll realize it isn't anything special. Let's just hope when the day comes, you could at least admit it.

As much as i like the PS3 I only have the money for one online subscription at the moment and this is me personally I think I will end up sticking with Xbox live. However I guess this free trial deal is a good idea to give people an example of what PSN+ is going to be all about.

You all do realize what Sony is doing? No? Well, let me tell you. They are preparing their user base to pay for online service (i.e. Xbox Live) next gen. While they willl be "giving" free games and such, ultimately, PSN will be just like Live. Pay to play. Which is not all bad, considering it will allow them to invest in more bandwidth and centralized servers for it.

bingo!

OP doesnt seem to know this tho lol

Speculation, maybe they're trying to find out other ways to make online revenue without having to rip off their fanbase? I know for a MS fan that must seem ludicrous...

Exactly. One of the good things about consoles is that you get to give money to Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. The rich owners of these companies deserve your money because they are superior to you. For example, Xbox Live is so successful on the Xbox 360 because people enjoy donating their money to Microsoft in exchange for the privelege of playing their own games on their own Xbox 360 on a peer-to-peer server hosted on their own internet connection using their own bandwidth.

Thats a possibility.. I simply wont pay for it if that happens. PC Online will always be free, hopefully as long as OnLive doesn't get popular.

As much as i like the PS3 I only have the money for one online subscription at the moment and this is me personally I think I will end up sticking with Xbox live. However I guess this free trial deal is a good idea to give people an example of what PSN+ is going to be all about.

Well MS has you by the balls, you either pay or you don't play so I don't blame you, it's nasty that they leach of a gamers need to pwn face online though.

Not interested in PSN+. I don't spend much money on the ps store, plus the features don't wow me. It may be a good value to you now, but as time goes on. I think you'll realize it isn't anything special. Let's just hope when the day comes, you could at least admit it.

It's like x-mas every month = win! Way better then paying for Live that's for sure.

You're starting to crack me up. X-mas every month :). Nice. It's like a silk bag full of puppy ears...name the show :) (and episode)

[QUOTE="xscrapzx"] What are you talking about? :| All dlc and games that you download from XBL will always be available whether you have a gold service or not.Andrew_Xavier



Cows all over the internet are under the illusion that all Xbox LIVE content can only be played when your console is online.

This is, of course, false.

Except in the case of quite a bit of DLC, Saints row 2 dlc, ultimate alliance 1/2 dlc, etc

DLC is tied to a xbox, so that particular xbox can use it offline, buuuuuut if its on another system you have to be online to play.

[QUOTE="TehNubTuber"]PSN+ is the greatest idea ever by Sony, I'm checking out the PS store and they have games like Wipeout HD, Destruction Derby and DLC like the Killzone DLC packs that have little +'s on them meaning if you get PSN+ you get that stuff for free :o !!!GAMESPOT PARAGRAPH PLEASE!!! That's just insane, Live makes you pay to play games you already bought, while PSN+ GIVES YOU GAMES AND DLC! :o !!!GAMESPOT PARAGRAPH PLEASE!!! The awesome is just too strong, MS really needs to get their stuff together. PSN+ is like a discount + rental service + free DLC service. And you know how Sony rolls they'll just keep adding and adding and adding content.TehNubTuber

I ama long time Sony fan...and I think you need to dial it down a bit. XBL still has a number of features, like cross game chat, that while I don't know what the point is, is still something Sony doesn't offer.

Plus, Sony has already said that they won't keep "adding and adding content". Much of this content is only available for a limited time and next months content will replace it. And games like Wipeout are only available as long as you keep paying the fee. So stop paying the fee and you can't play Wipeout, or future full games, any more.

Then there is the issue that all PAY services eventually face; the issue that a successful pay services eventually sucks up things that USED to be free. So if PSN+ is successful, then I can see Sony starting to remove stuff from the free service and moving it to the pay service. This ALWAYS happens.

I'm going to get PSN+ for a bit to see if it is for me or not, but I wouldn't call it "mindblowingly awesome".

Dude Sony said they WOULD keep adding content what are you talking about? And With Live once you stop paying the online portion of all your games stops working too... Not sure why your calling PSN+ on that if your such a big PS3 fan and ignoring Live tremendous flaws.

Sorry but you are just flat out wrong. When you cancel Xbox Live you KEEP ALL YOUR GAMES YOU PAID FOR. Nice try though.

well we aren't just donating to M$, the big thing no one seems to realize is the features of live, matchmaking, voice chat, setting up p2p servers, are all built and reserved in OS for games already. This is quality control since M$ doesn't let people make their own network infrastructure, so more games come out using solid features without sucking. A good example is COD, going from 360 to ps3 is like a downgrade since the quality of voice chat isn't as good and the matchmaking and host migration isn't as good.

If you buy a game on PSN and cancel your PSN+ you still keep it too, what's your point?

Cool, have fun with it since they wont continue with it for long. Also, Welcome Sony to what Microsoft has been doing since the Xbox came out. You finally managed to catch up to what Microsoft has been doing for 5+ years.
