PlayStation Plus, And How Sony Look Like They’ve Got It Just Right

"PlayStation Plus might just be the smartest thing Sony have ever done. It is, on the surface, an extraordinarily generous offering from the platform holder: in exchange for roughly the price of one new game subscribers get access to literally dozens (the official line is ‘up to 65′) of other games."

PS+ is the best paid service on consoles by far. It pays for itself. I just downloaded Darksiders for free and love it thanks to PS+. PS+ gives you many free games every month plus huge discounts on PS store content. All for $50 a year. But it's optional. Of course if you don't want it you can still play your games that you paid $60 for online for free and enjoy YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and access your Netflix account all for free on the PS3's as well. It would be criminal for Sony to charge for those free features. PS+ is just the icing on the cake and the industry is in love with it. PS+ is one reason why the PS3 shot to 2nd place trailing only the Wii despite launching a full year behind. I love PS+. I even use it for my avatar.

Day one of Plus: I bought PS plus ASAP when the store updated. There was a fat princess avatar free. What I decided to do is to put that avatar as my new avatar to go right next to my PS+ symbol. It symbolize one thing.

PS+ Spoils You! :P

I use it for my Avatar to LOL

Dwalls11714097d ago

Juet call it what it is, its a fantastic service that Actually gives you more then what you pay for

Instead of paying to unlock features that are free everywhere else

berndogskate4097d ago

We need a plus avatar, that would be cool )

OllieBoy4097d ago

I would not have bought a Vita if it wasn't for Plus.

Sony really came through on the Instant Game Collection initiative. It's great if you're an existing PS3/Vita, but even better if you just bought one of the systems.

GusBricker4097d ago

It's a good deal.

I just can't get past their uber slow DL speeds.

Karpetburnz4097d ago (Edited 4097d ago )

I have never had any problems with download speeds, I have seen many download comaprisons between the two and theyre both about the same speed, I think it just depends on your internet connection. But if you have PS+, you can download updates when you sleep.

stage884097d ago

@GusBricker

It's your internet connection/setup.
How do I know? Because I use to think the same.
I always thought PSN had really slow downloading speeds until I changed my router. I am now averaging around 1.5MB per second. It absolutely amazing the change in speed I have.

GusBricker4097d ago

Yeah, did that and my PS3 has a wired connection and the damn thing took an hour to DL the Journey demo.

But the worst was about a year ago, I tried to DL InFamous and gave up after about 5-6 hours at like 56%

JoGam4097d ago

At Gus, call sony and have them open the required ports by sony so ur Internet will work faster. I downloaded Journey in like 5mins.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5063d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5063d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5063d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495063d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5063d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
