Sorry guys, just a bit annoyed with Plus at the moment. Paid £40 and just getting all the really old crap not as often as US.

My own fault.
You get same amount of "crap" as US, but all at once in the month, where as US has to wait weekly. Our deal sounds better

Now now Will, calm down its only a commercial (enterprise)!!

We'll see what happens going forward. Sony have taken note apparently of all the negative feedback from SCEE gamers.

I can't really moan. I knew the 2 month schedule when I signed up, I'm just hoping come Wednesday, we get some extra stuff. If they included Syphon Filter I'd be so so happy!

I'm not moaning at the schedule. I'm moaning at the fact SCEA got loads more stuff. They had a schedule but still chucked in extra games and discounts etc. SCEE didn't and that's what is pissing me off.

There is a rumor going around that PSN+ will allow users to change their PSN username . . . if this happens I will DEFINITELY buy a 3 month subscription.

I picked an early Oasis song as my name, they're my favourite band and I picked a song they had even before they got their first record deal, and now I regret it as NO ONE knows the song and this means they hear my username and don't think "Oh , Oasis fan". . .they just think. . ."omg what a stupid twatty gay sounding username" (not that there's anything wrong with a stupid twatty gay sounding username).

Please let me change it

It's a no from me for another month....

Zen Pinball - Over a year old? If I wanted it, I would have bought it by now

minis: Blast-Off, Alien Zombie Death - already given away free with Firstplay

PSone: Medievil - Again, has been around for ages, if I wanted it, I would have got it by now

Full Game Trial: Inferno Pool, Mushroom Wars - A short diversion for a while I suppose, even if you don't buy them, but demos should really have been issued at time of release.

Discounts: Zen Pinball Earth Defence Table – 20%, Warhawk Triple Combo Pack – 50%, Super Stardust HD - 20%, WipeOutHD Fury – 20% Already got the ones that are useful to me

Premium Game Elements: Motorstorm Pacific Rift: Adrenaline Pack - Most people won't have the game, so don't care. Useful to some I guess.

Push Demo: Flower, Pixel Junk Shooter How old are these? Demos are already out there if you want them

Themes: “SCEE produced: PlayStation + Dynamic Theme (in production), Heavy Rain Crime Scene Theme If you happen to like changing your theme every 2 weeks, then fine.

2 x Heavy Rain Avatars (Bird and Butterfly) Oh dear...

I suppose you could argue that for the £3.33 you pay per month, getting access to all that stuff isn't bad value, even if you do't use all of it, but I can help feeling that by the end of 12 months I'd regret p1ssing £40 away on nothing.

Right now, no. I won't be.
One feature it gives, and one of the main features of it, is the fact you can get £200 worth of content for free in a year. The thing is though, how much of that content will I actually like? So far, none of the games it has provided for free has interested me.

Also, the fact that they get rid of all the free content you have been given isn't fair at all. If I payed for it, then I expect to keep what I bought!

Having prices of things on the store being reduced doesn't interest me because I rarely ever buy anything from it anyway. Extended game demos or whatever doesn't interest me either.

The lure of the free LBP enticed everyone in. If this *rumor* of being able to change your PS name comes true it will entice everyone in again, though feel that isnt fair considering the Japanese already get this for free.

I dont know exactly how it works. I think you maybe still have your original name but you get another to display to people on the friend list. I have a Jap account too, just imagine that bit is in Japanese and dont read that LOL

Thats kind of my feeling on it.

I don't really download a lot off PSN so of the stuff I would get for free via PSN+ I may only be intrested in less than 10% of it.

The only part that I have moderate intrest in is getting some demo's but again out of the demo's they may release how many of them am I actually going to want? And as we saw with Kane & Lynch 2 recently it became avaliable to everyone after been on PSN+ for only a few days.


For people that are going to be downloading a lot of the stuff they will get via PSN+ its worth it, However for someone like myself who would likely only ever download a tiny percentage of that content the £40 yearly fee is way, way too high.

If it was say £20 or less for a year I would consider it, but £40 for what I would get off it isn't worth it for me.

I dont understand in the Sept one. On the full game download of Warhawk you can get a 50% discount, but then further down it says exclusive discounts Warhawk 20%

Thats the 1st 3 months now with nothing in it that I'd want. I dont mean to slate it all the time as obviously some love it (fair play) but as in the comments of that link. In august you get a discount on the triple warhawk DLC pack but in September you get a discount on buying the actual game. They have this all back to front. Obviously you could still buy the triple pack and just keep it til the following month, but this is crazy.

Well spotted. What one is it LOL, I would take a guess at 20%. We are talking about Sony.

Hmmm I don't get that though...50% off Warhawk with the full game trial, but then below it's 20% off?! So you have to download the demo then purchase via that to get 50% off instead of just 20%...bit weird...

50% off MGS! Making it a bargin at £3.99. Sam and Max looks interesting and the couple of themes.

Not bad....alot better than previous months.

Its not bad (in all honesty) if they top it up each week like the US. If they dont then its a total slap in the face for Euroland.

It'll be interesting to see the US content listed later.
