WOW PlayStation Plus members get ME 2 for free if I had known that I would have join a long time ago, I'll join in Feb since you get so many great deals.

Pillage054864d ago

umm..I think that's just a trial

siliticx4864d ago

Play as much as u can during 1 full hour
can purchase the game after and continue.

Raf1k14864d ago

Downloading 12GB to try it for an hour isn't something I'd be wanting to do TBH but from having played it already I can safely say that anyone who bothers to is most likely to purchase the full game so it's not all bad. 12GB is enough to put most people off from trying it though.

WildArmed4864d ago

You know, out of all the damn trial PS+ provided..
I havn't bothered w/ any of 'em.
mainly for two reasons:
It's never a new game :( So I've usually tried it before.
or the d/l is obnoxiously large, that kinda puts me off.
So far, it's been a combo.
I've played/own every game they've put up trial's for.
I"m waiting for the day I will be actually using this opportunity >.<

Neo Nugget4864d ago

^

Plus if I read it correctly, you have to DL the entire game again if you want to buy the full game.

:/

WildArmed4864d ago

Yes.. yes you do..
if you decide to purchase it digitally >.<

Raf1k14864d ago

@Neo Nugget, if you've downloaded it and decide to buy it you won't need to download it again unless you deleted before buying.

FVCK YES.

I love Metal Slug games. X is one of my favorites, next to MS:4

Unrelated to that game:

Does Sony offer any free themes anymore, or have they pretty much made it known that they are going to push their paid content from now on?

espiritu6044864d ago

you can get free dynamic themes in a website using your ps3's internet browser. I paid 2 bucks for heavyrain dynamic theme only to find out i coulda gotten it for free!

Jezuz4864d ago

what's the URL of this so called free dynamic themes website?

rockleex4864d ago

Links or it didn't happen.

Lamarthedancer4864d ago

God I'm dreading to think what Europes update is going to be like.......shit as always

DlocDaBudSmoka4864d ago

does anyone know if modern combat needs the navigation controller or can u use the ds3 in place of it?

Qui-Gon Jim4864d ago (Edited 4864d ago )

All Move games can use the DS3 in place of the Navigator.

DlocDaBudSmoka4864d ago

i knew the early ones could. i didnt know if sony would make the nav. controller mandatory or not. +bubs

Qui-Gon Jim4864d ago

I'm sure they'll keep it as an option because if you try using the DS3, you'll be wanting a Navigator. I was wanting one after just a few minutes of trying Heavy Rain with holding a DualShock with one hand.

Pillage054864d ago

You can in the demo just... for reassurance. Use the ds3 instead of nav. that is.

Qui-Gon Jim4864d ago

I thought it already came with all the DLC.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow4d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1823d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie3d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere2d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX3d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney2d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno3d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno3d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii3d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno3d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
