You would think it'd be less than the disc version as there's no packaging to produce or disc.

If it were £9.99 I'd probably go for it.

I think the last few months have really shown me that I have made the right decision keeping my money in my wallet.

There's been nothing decent at all from PSN+ since it's inception.

Very disappointing when you think they should be really pushing the service in the opening months. If this is what they are churning out at the moment, I dread to think what it will be like for the rest of the year.

Is it bad that the only reason I feel I'm missing something with plus at the moment is I want the clock dynamic theme

That's not bad at all, its a nifty little theme. If only more stuff on Plus was of the same quality, you may have being tempted.

It's not that great. Makes your XMB look a bit dated. I use the PS+ one they give you. Nice font and colours.

I'm gonna get stuck into some of the freebies soon. Nothing out to buy til next month

US users arent too happy with their update this week. They got next to nothing last week and likewise this week apparently. It seems Sony listened to the complaints that Euro was illtreated and rather than boost the Euro side, they have cut back in the US side. Really poor, got to say.

The EU service does seem to be stepping up though.

The September ist of content is much better than previous months - and there has been promise of additional releases through the month, which is also promising.

With growing impatience from customers I'm guessing that soon we'll see the cross game chat feature that Sony pulled from the website etc etc just before launch so they could "pull it out of the bag" when people realized the service was a bit crap.

all they will prob release is demo's 1 day early. gotta say i think the demo side of plus is really pointless.

I wasn't really interested in mafia 2, but felt i had to download it just cos i got plus

This weeks "surprise" is two weeks early access to pixel junk racers 2nd lap. I had the original (and hated it) but will give this a go.

I agree, the 'early' demo's needs to be looked at or scrapped. It's quite insulting to pretend they are providing something for our 40 quid when your not getting any real benefit or advantage over none paying members.

The funny thing is we would have all got these demos for no charge and now they are pretending you are getting them early with plus.

Isn't that how it works on xbox though???? - with gold subscribers gettng demos earlier than the silver(?) members.

I am not fussed about getting the demos 24 hrs early tbh - what I would like to see is beta access etc. - LBP2 would be great....

Yeah PSN+ users didn't get the Mafia 2 Demo 1 day early, it was PSN users that got it 1 day late

A big con!

Yes that's true, but its a week earlier not 24 hours.

The icing on the cake is this... if you relied on the auto downloads of PSN+, you wouldn't even get it a day early because PSN isn't updated until 2-3 in the afternoon.

My auto downloads are set to 3 in the morning

Just gets better and better.

The orignal PS1 Tomb Raider is being relased on Monday as a two week PS+ exclusive. No deal on price or anything, if you want to buy it will still be £8. But you get a 10 year old game 2 weeks early.

Seems like a bit of an own goal to me - they finally realease a genuine PS1 classic and then annoy most users by holding it back for two weeks. Much better to release it for everyone but have it a discount for PS+ subscribers.

I don't see the point in this! £8?! I could buy the disc version for half that! Sony need to stop it...
