While the concept of 'game trials' is novel and all, I'd much rather download a demo than a 6-8 GB file that I can only play for 60 minutes.AcidSoldner
Indeed, especially with the horrible download speeds on PSN. I've had PSN+ for over a year now and i've never found it worthwhile to try out one of the "free" trials.
XBLA games have trials though? I'm a bit confused...Stevo_the_gamer
I believe he talking about with some games you are able to download the full title, try it out for +60 minutes, and after that time you can decide whether or not you want to buy.
EX. I download say inFAMOUS, then I play the game (with no restrictions) for 60 minutes. After that time is up, I can decide to either buy it, or leave the game and delete.

Right. And.... don't you have to subscribe to get those trials? So that's not free then, right?

I believe he talking about with some games you are able to download the full title, try it out for 30 minutes, and after that time you can decide whether or not you want to buy.

That's ok I'll take a demo of a new game over a trial of a two year old game any day.

PSN doesn't have demos? Where's the xbox demo 4 MK?
Sure PSN has demos, but that's not what the thread was talking about. It's talking about paying $59 a year for the privilege of having a 60 minute trial of a two year old game that most people already own.
I couldn't tell you about the XBL MK demo since I would rather have bamboo shoved under my nails than play a fighting game any day. Are you trying to claim ownage since PSN has MK up earlier than XBL? :roll:

I'll also take my "every Arcade/Indie game comes with a trial version" :)
When I browsed the PSN+ selections of games I could tr the only ones their that are interestingwere Mass Effect 2 and Assains Cred 2, I have Assassins Creed 2, and if the begining of MS2 is like MS1, then it'll take over na hour to get the story on a roll.
I think I missed something here... since when are Arcade trials and game demos not free on XBL? foxhound_fox
