Europe got the best PS+ update by far this month. NA bites the dust again. Anyway, Bioshock one free with a purchase of Bioshock:Infinite and now 2 free with plus. I can complete all 3 games now.
been sort of wanting to get this game again to play the singleplayer DLC since i got rid of the game before it had come out... this is the perfect excuse!
It's 5 dollars at my local store. Should have used the word almost, my bad. I'd like if the ps3 side of plus offered more psn games honestly..because I've played all the retails they have to offer..I haven't bought any psn games really.
I guess you are is US but for me cheapest I can find is more like 13$ with shipping... And local store is like 15$.... Used I guess I can find it for 10... Some retailer still sell it at 19.99 as on the PSN...
Playstation Plus is easy to understand...
Bioshock Infinite comes PS+ = free bioshock2 FarCry 3 comes PS+ = free FarCry 2 Saints 3 PS+ = Saints2 free Walking Dead Episode 4 comes... PS+ = Free episode 1-2 DeadSpace 3 PS+ = Free or 50%off for DeadSpace 2 ...
They give sometime that can hook you to buy something else... So if you want to play the last game well PS+ is not for you even if sometime they have good deal for new PSN game when they come out like Journey or Limbo... But is you like to try different franchise or if you can wait well you can get a lot of stuff for 50$...
With Crysis 3 coming... Crysis 2 can be a good candidate for ps+ so don't get it...
If you sign up now, u can start building up a backlog of games for your Vita. The free Vita games on PS Plus now aren't guaranteed to be there once u gt ur Vita.
Playstation Plus is less than $5 a month! So you could get Bioshock 2 plus whatever else is added this month (and all the current Vita games) for what you would buy Bioshock 2 for.
Idk why people complain about free stuff..but just so everyone knows, this only for one week of December..they still haven't revealed what's to come for the rest of the month.
To me it's free. I've been paying for plus since it started and was getting discounts and some mini games free. Now they are giving retail games for no extra cost. Then give the service with a game collection (AAA games in the collection btw) at no extra cost to the vita....Free to me but, I'm not disagreeing with you it's a paid service yeah, but they easly could have raised the price 10$ and it still would be the best deal out there. Finger crossed tightly in hopes that Xbox starts rewarding us something better than a fucking helmet for a avatar after 10 years of service....smh.
I do agree w Kev, people complaining over (basically) free shit is far, far beyond my understanding.
By your logic that means that 360 users have to pay extra to play the other half of most of their games, since a gold account is required. So if your live account expires you lose ½ of all your games.
Lol, regardless, brettyd is right. You pay $50 a year and they give you games, if you discontinue this service you can't play them. Technically you're renting them. And yes, you pay for Live on xbox as well. Lol, nothings ever free, I dont get why ppl don't want to admit it isnt.
people complain because they're paying for xbox live and getting bent over instead of getting great value like PS+, so they have to moan about something.
Maybe because both regions are paying for the same service and not getting the same benefits; in this case the games that one region has gotten and the other hasn't.
I'm sure there is someone in Europe asking why is NA getting Bioshock 2 and they are getting Batman. What ever the case may be, people will complain/question everything, because they can/want.
I'll stop buying games this generation and just mantain my PS+ subscrition. That will be enough for my gaming goodness... The Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, GTA V, Watch Dogs, MGS: Ground Zeroes, The Last Guardian, Zwei and Bioshock Infinite will be the exceptions
Ok i have a question about PS+. How do you activate it on the PS Vita? Can i just activate it on my account on PS3 and I automatically start accumulating games? Or do I need to actually download the game before the offered games are changed?
I ask because ill be getting vita as a gift in a few weeks, but I know already it has a psn card waiting to be activated. Can i activate psn for both ps3 and ps vita without actually using the vita (through ps3) ? And in that case Can i always download those games that are offered (even when they change next month)? Or Do i have to download them before the offerings are changed in order to be able to play them? How does this work?
dont know how long theyll be up so download them before they are gone. once they gone they gone! i dont have a vita and i have all vita games on my download list. if i get one next year ill have those games
activate your ps+ account on your ps3, then you just have to complete the free purchase of those games (PS3 and Vita games) and they will remain on your download history so you can download them again anytime as long as you remain a Plus subscriber. When you have your vita, just login to Psn with the same PSN acount that you use on PS3 and you will be able to download all the vita games that PS+ offered you before. I hope that I've explained it clearly
Ahhhh dang... :\ I can't play BioShock 2. The original was great and I'm sure I would have loved the sequel if not for the odd case of motion sickness this game gives me within about 5 minutes of playing. It's literally the only game I've come across which does this.
Yep, I've played plenty through without a hint of it. Something about BioShock 2's graphics mess with me. I've heard that other people have had the same problem. Maybe I'll give it another shot and see if I can play it this time, since I loved and played through the first game without an issue.
Snookies, You should try it on pc. Not super demanding on the cpu/gpu and Its always cheap like $5, You never know maybe the game wont give you that feeling pc.
Well, our store in general is very lacking in comparison to yours. I wish you guys had the same amazing line up of PS+ games as us, but I would trade the IGC's for the store support guys in the States have. We still have no CSGO, no Retro City Rampage, we have been told we are getting Spyro "soon" since the beginning of time and the US store just has so much more additional content such as avatars and such.
EU now has Arkham CIty and RDR and we get fucking Bioshock 2? I don't even remotely see how this is a good deal..Sony c'mon no one wants to play that shit as much as Batman or Red Dead.
Yeah man I agree, I was looking forward to batman but instead they give us bioshock! It's a good game but I already have it! Maybe it'll come to u.s. at some point.
Ps+ is awesome no matter the region. True, euro ps+ is something I wish we had but hey, I have something to look forward to every week or so because of this service. I've played bioshock 1&2. I beat one and my cousin broke 2. So needless to say its right up my alley. I owned a lot of games that's on the vita ps+ but ill get them again and try to platinum trophie them during the gaming drought days of spring and summer. That's my plan anyway
Annnd NA gets screwed again. We pay the same price, we should be getting the same content. EU consistently gets better games, and more valuable games. Many times I've gotten PSN games that total up to around $30, games that I didn't even want to play, and in that same month EU got 3 good games that were worth $20 to $30 EACH. What the fuck? If I pay Sony the exact same amount of money than why do I not get treated with the same respect?
Why dont they show whats coming out for the WHOLE month like the EU store? Hell, they even had a poll about this on the offical ps blog & 'show monthly update' won by a HUGE margin
pro tip: the best EU game this month is Vanquish.
I almost got it myself, but went with Deus Ex instead. Hooray for us I suppose. :)
I guess you are is US but for me cheapest I can find is more like 13$ with shipping... And local store is like 15$.... Used I guess I can find it for 10... Some retailer still sell it at 19.99 as on the PSN...
Playstation Plus is easy to understand...
Bioshock Infinite comes PS+ = free bioshock2
FarCry 3 comes PS+ = free FarCry 2
Saints 3 PS+ = Saints2 free
Walking Dead Episode 4 comes... PS+ = Free episode 1-2
DeadSpace 3 PS+ = Free or 50%off for DeadSpace 2
...
They give sometime that can hook you to buy something else...
So if you want to play the last game well PS+ is not for you even if sometime they have good deal for new PSN game when they come out like Journey or Limbo... But is you like to try different franchise or if you can wait well you can get a lot of stuff for 50$...

But that perspective sucks, right?
I'm sure there is someone in Europe asking why is NA getting Bioshock 2 and they are getting Batman. What ever the case may be, people will complain/question everything, because they can/want.
you can buy PSN Cards for any region on amazon or ebay. So whats the big deal
Even so , i barely get the complain , you'd still get double the bonus games
The Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, GTA V, Watch Dogs, MGS: Ground Zeroes, The Last Guardian, Zwei and Bioshock Infinite will be the exceptions
I ask because ill be getting vita as a gift in a few weeks, but I know already it has a psn card waiting to be activated.

Or Do i have to download them before the offerings are changed in order to be able to play them? How does this work?
I hope that I've explained it clearly
the bottom line is it would be wise for me to activate ps+ asap and use ps3 to download all games so they are accessible later. Makes sense !
I initiate download for free stuff even if i don't plan on playing right away. They stay on your download list forever.
So even i still did't get my Vita ( My wife would kill me ) i still got the download's on my list for when i finally get mine.
I can't play BioShock 2. The original was great and I'm sure I would have loved the sequel if not for the odd case of motion sickness this game gives me within about 5 minutes of playing. It's literally the only game I've come across which does this.
That is so weird.
You should try it again!
also Ni No Kuni Demo morrow cant wait
Recomended to all the the ppl who was disapointed with ff13
Edit: I also want vanquish, moste underrated game this gen.
Not trolling. Being factual and sarcastic at the same time.
keep paying
while i can play all the games you pay for free...sucks to be a sucker mouhahaha
As in Vanquish the game I beat in 3 hours and 27 minutes? We got the better shake by far. It was a fun game but Bio Shock 2 was the better title.
Here's a dirt cheap, very old, and poorly rated game that should never have been developed in the first place, for free!
I owned a lot of games that's on the vita ps+ but ill get them again and try to platinum trophie them during the gaming drought days of spring and summer.
That's my plan anyway
Australia - $69.95 per year
US - $49.95 per year
i still gotta platinum that one
any one wanna boost the multiplayer with me?
