As a current PS+ member Im really damn hyped. I love automatic updates and cloud storage along with the games they gave, I wonder what else is in store now
The best part is that whatever it is will likely go into effect with Tuesday's PS Store update. PS+ updates always come on the first Tuesday of the month. The thing is, Sony usually posts a preview of upcoming month's content a week or so in advance of the update. They didn't do that this week, likely so they didn't spoil the surprise.
Anyway, I'm hoping it's an options feature. I'd like to have a choice in what content I get, even if it's from a small pool of pre-approved games.
More cloud storage space would be nice as well. I have a 50MB Smackdown Vs Raw 2011 created character file that fails to upload due to a lack of space.
Well, in my eyes, it's not Sunday until my ass wakes up and drinks some orange juice. But technically, seeing as how it's passed midnight, tomorrow is true. It begins Monday, so yea.
This also finally would give Sony a presence on the PC. I only wish we could have the option of downloading full games from the PSN, but some action on the PC is better than nothing.
Everyone keeps talking about Gaikai and Onlive, but what if it isn't a streaming service, but rather a partnership of some kind with Steam? Streaming games takes up way too much bandwidth, so I find it hard to believe that Sony would find this to be a good way for playing games. Its for this reason that i haven't bothered with Onlive, even though its a cool service, you can use up 20 GB in just 6 hours of gaming.
maybe so but i dont have a prob trying some games (if its gaikai it is demos or playing full games if its onlive( which i like anyway since i have a subscription with them and i enjoy all the games anyway))
I'm hoping there's more than just the Gaikia/Onlive stuff. As much as these are going to be great feature, I want some console features that I can actually use in-game and such. Doubtful, but i'm hoping. I also like the top tier stuff, but we will have to wait and see.
My question is, are we gonna have to pay more? Seems like that, but finger crossed.
It's all very mysterious to me, but they seem pretty confident with what they're about to do with the service so I'm really hoping they have a bunch of new appealing features ready for us.
A huge Plus revamp would fit in with the rumor that the next big update would be 4.20 (a sort of reverse of what was probably the PS3s biggest firmware update ever - 2.40).
I'm almost positive it won't be streaming-related. I mentioned above how Sony didn't post a preview of June's PS+ content yet, even though they usually announce it a week or so in advance. We are due for a big PS+ update on Tuesday which to me, and no announcements of the content indicates to me that whatever the changes are, they will go into effect in Tuesday's update.
The rumors around the Gaikai/Onlive thing suggest a deal was just finalized. It would likely be months before the two companies would be able to finalize and implement their plans.
I agree. I think Tuesday's update is going to be pretty insane. I've been a member since launch and feel I have gotten my money's worth. So much so, I have a backlog of just PS+ stuff to run through (Shank 2, Trine 2, FarCry 2, Back to the Future for example). I do feel they are going to raise the price to match XBL retail $59.99 price tag. Which is pretty ballsy when you consider most of the draws to XBL are offered free on PSN (Online, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, etc). Really looking forward to Sony's presser!
Ahh, that's right! That would also explain that post on Twitter (I forgot who it was from) that mentioned gamers should pick up PlayStation Plus now. He followed that up with something like "even if it's just the three month plan. Trust me."
Something BIG is in store and gamers will most likely be seeing it firsthand on Tuesday. This.. is pretty exciting. haha
I don't see that happening, any positive press they'd get for new features would be engulfed with the negative press they'd get for making previously "free" services (obviously you need a scrip to each service) something you'd have to pay for to access via PSN.
Well no offense but I would've waited knowing E3 was right around the corner! But that's just me, I know my Vita was hard to resist so I got it day one. Welcome!
I honestly don't expect them to drop the price at all which is why I went ahead with it. Plus it was brand new on amazon from a marketseller, 3G version for £198....f'ing bargain I think.
I think there might be bundles...but I'm happy with my purchase. Plus I'm mostly going digital...same as my Ps3.
Sounds exciting and it would make increase the difference between XboxLive and PSplus. It should be interesting to see what Microsoft evolves XboxLive into because lately it's been more about services than games so hopefully Sony getting something like Gaikai will make them change course.
Anyways I'm pretty happy with just having free multiplayer and crossgame chat so I really don't see a reason in getting plus.
Unlimited streaming games for a subscription to plus would definitely make me join, if it weren't for one thing - I live in Australia. Onlive and gaikai don't even exist in Australia.
If they get it up and running and sort out deals with our ISPs like onlive did in America, I'd gladly hand over the AU$100 a year ps+ subscription fee. And before anyone says "liar ps+ is only $40" - like I said, here in Australia the RRP is $99.95 a year.
But your glorious Xbox Live does streaming of games already? Why would you even consider playing games on the PS3, when according to you PS3 has no gaems?
for anyone else check his post history and you will see 90% of his posts are anti Sony/Pro MS
I'm hoping e3 will be a huge success this year in all this economic doom and gloom, and i'm hoping for news on the xbox/720 and ps4 and of course the wii u launch date.
So let's sy that they up the price, or even introduce a tier system. You think plus subscribers now will be automatically upgraded? Cuz if so, I will just buy another year membership now before a possible price hike or even an upgrade is introduced... Kind of how i had 3 years of Live before the price hike so i wasnt affected by the inctease. Anyone think that's possible?
If you purchase a Plus membership before their E3 conference and they happen to introduce a tier system or special upgrades tomorrow, you will be included in whatever they announce. You'll have to buy it before the conference so think fast!
being able to change gamer id would be nice, cross game chat, streaming 1 hour demos instead of having to download them. a dlc allowance per week,month, and/or year like an amount that you could buy cod mappacks etc or roll over your allowance for something bigger like a game. better discounts like 20% off all dlc at all times. streaming all ps 1 and 2 titles with out it looking like an emulator. a better interface...stuff like that would make plus a no brainer for me.
customizable avatars like on xbox live. and better yet PHOTOS for avatar. dude that would be sweet. be able to put my face or a nice pic instead of those ordinary tiny pics they have next to our gamer names. and finally show trophy # and platinum # next to name instead of having to research every single person i play with. Like on xbl i can see the gamer tag and gamer points,....do the same with psn.
(What I want Sony to do) I hope Sony increases the cloud storage I'm running low on storage,and one more thing I hope sony revamped's the download list.
Maybe it should be Gaikai so I can have ps +, onlive and Gaikai. Maybe something bug w happen w onlive too so that will be another come up? One can dream...
And the idea to upgrade existing members to Ps+ elite or whatever sounds good to me.
PS plus is already better to have than xbl so with added features, it becomes much more appealing... Hopefully the vita rumors with it are true as well

SMFH....You would think age would make people more mature but I guess not.
You commented on me in another article bringing up Sony when I never mentioned them and when the article was about Nintendo

Rumor says that PS+ will have multiple tiers,people that currently have PS+ will be promoted to "Elite" status,for free.
I need all the money I can save up for that thing! Knowing my luck, the "future of Plus" will be something I really, really want.
I hope Sony increases the cloud storage I'm running low on storage,and one more thing I hope sony revamped's the download list.

I only have a PS3 but i like to watch the other conferences...but this year i really dont care.
Being a playstation plus subscriber for years now , so worth it and now with revamp plus more stuff for it
Really is a good time to sign up for those don't have it !!
