To celebrate the fifth anniversary of the launch of Playstation Plus, Sony have started emailing long-time subscribers with the offer to get their hands on something unique, personalized, and for free.
A new method of payment on the PlayStation Store has launched that doesn't require a debit or credit card.
A step in the right direction but really in 2016, two factor authentication should be an industry standard in an optional capacity for absolutely anything which stores bank card details. I hope Sony plans on adding that down the road sometime this year.
All I did was sign up for an American Express Serve. And I use that for all my online transactions. Its prepaid and you just load money when you want to use it. They are so many options but good to see Sony come out with their own. For gamers seeing a logo they know like Playstation could be more reassuring.
I usually just buy PSN cards but this is a pretty good option as well. Not to mention you can pay a lot more than just PSN with them.
New optional PS Vita Software Update v 1.69 is now available to download
downloading it now.... can't wait for Gravity Rush tomorrow... might pick up metal gear also!
Joel Taveras of DS, "If you really thought that Sony would offer cloud game saves without an ulterior motive behind it, well then you’d be completely wrong. Sure its a nice perk but when you honestly sit down and really think about it, what’s the point? It’s not like a game save file is as big as a game install file (which unfortunately still exists) so where's the benefit of storing these files remotely especially if what we’re talking about is just a few measly megabytes. After speaking to one of our sources at Sony, it seems that the electronics giant may have something very special brewing for E3, an announcement that will make the NGP simply irresistible when it lands on shelves."
Oh, there's always a reason. I think cloud game saves is a pretty cool idea anyway - PS3 or NGP.
cloud saved my life i just got the YLOD while playing Demon Souls and all hope was lost when it first came out i put most of my game saves on it put haven't updated it since meaning I'd lose all my progress in DS and KS3. For those that haven't played DS it's the hardest most thought provoking RPG i've ever played and if you beat a boss, level up, etc. it's not simple to recuperate the loss and if you send it in to get repair it's sent back with an empty HDD (everything gone pic,vid,saves) so whatever the reason i'm glad we got the cloud when we did. I was also able to get my ps3 to turn on(using gilksy method on youtube) long enough to transfer my pis and update my save to cloud all i need is a PS3.
Unexpected and very nice thing to do. I'm a big fan of rewarding loyalty.
Free uncharted 4 beta would be nice :)
Only had plus since 2012 thoughh
I've had plus since right after it launched. Still waiting on an email
So far this is for Europe only.
I wish I had jumped in Day 1 for PS+. I didn't see the value.
Now I am swamped with PS+ games I will never play. Just downloaded Call of Juarez to the PS3 last night so I wouldn't miss Junes PS+ PS3 games....I will NEVER play it.
Too many games with PS+! not a complaint!
