Tomb Raider is a bit pointless now, surely? Not only would it be unplayable on PSP due to the lack of buttons, but isn't the Anniversary remake already on the store for barely more than that price?

I think the only PS1 games most care about at this point are the Resi games, but I doubt we're going to see them come out over here(Thanks for that Virgin Interactive! As if your *****y internet service wasn't enough to make me hate you).

Wish I didn't bother with PSN+ at all, although glad I only got the 90 day sub to try it out.

Not sure I could justify the cost for 50p off a game, and to have a clock as a backdrop. Pretty pointless really.

They are getting a hard time on the blogs (quite right imo) over this £7.99 for the TR 2 week early.

I'm gonna be honest...I regret spending the £40 now.

I want Crash Commando which is discounted on the store....however + people may get it for free so I have to now wait 9 months incase it is!

I don't play any of the games they give you. I've actually bought Hustle Kings off the store so I wish I had saved the £40 and used it to buy stuff I wanted in the store.

See the USA is getting to buy discounted playstation protection if you're a plus member (though only if under your original warranty), they basically buy 2 extra years for the price of 1. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/...otection-plan/

You pay £60 per year on the off chance your PS3 breaks, for your 60 punds you get what? Peace of mind? If your PS3 lasts 2 yr after the 12 month warranty (which is more common than you think) thats 120 for peace of mind.

why would they include cover with PSN+ when they have mugs coughing up every month, im sure equal numbers think continuous play is pish and think your the buffoon calling the buffoons.

Whatever is included with PSN+, subscribers will find some of that content good and some rubbish, thats unavoidable. But they will have something to show for there money and if there PS3 dies after 3 yr they can get a refurb for 10 more than you've paid in.
Just notice this. . . my continuous play £5 goes to a third party insurance company , not Sony. . .so they're not making money of mugs like me

I've tried PSN+ for the 90 days offer but don't think I'll be renewing it. Its nice to have the 'free' stuff but the important aspect of online play still remains free so I'm happy with that.

I was stupid and got caught out.
Phoned up Sony to try to claim my broken controller and told them it was my DS3 (which it is) but they then proceeded to tell me that it was a six-axis that came with my console and so couldnt replace the DS3. <<< If only I had said it was my six-axis.

yeah, oh well, I'm sure my six axis will break in the not too distant future since thats what I'm using now.

In the meantime, its interesting to see a few of you saying you are about to possibly ditch PS+. I was going to ask the other day, now that its been out a little while, if people still felt it was a worthwhile investment or not.

I still feel they are paying it lip service but thats probably cause I still havent seen anything I'm personally interested in on it.

gilly its worth it if you like the minis and old ps1 games that you get for nothing if you sub and stay subbed but if you only really play online its not worth it tbh. I wanted to try it so glad I only went for the 90 days one but since actual online play is free either way I won't bother to renew it.

Jeez, so only 3 of my online friends have PS+ and one of those is about to cancel.

Blimey.

Still a NO from me, by the way.

I'm not into PS1 games or minis. Just think they need to up their game a bit on the actual PS3 PSN content. You know things like Fat Princess, Planet Minigolf, Hustle kings << although I have them too, but I'm hinting at the better PSN games out there.

Don't waste your money on PSN+ then mate they wont give you anything you're after I don't think. Its a nice idea they have but they are only giving the crap no one wants at the mo lol

The only decent thing they're giving PSN+ers is Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse in September, but i already bought that Months ago.

The store is updated for plus content, however not in the right section lol if you find the content yourself within the store, it will be discounted/free.

Just been reading that apparently the FULL game trials; you know the 1 hour trial that plus members get?....Well the previous months offerings are apparently able to be downloaded and tried for the same period by anyone. So possibly the plus members get them for a month then the everyday (basic psn) gets them too. A few seemed to be reporting downloading the full trials of Infamous and Mushroom wars.

Guess i'll give it a bash to see if it works. Will try with Mush wars soon.

EDIT: yeah definitely Mushroom Wars works from last month. Infamous is no longer there (that I can see)

SO there you go. Fancy trying that full 1hour game but not a plus member, then just wait a month it seems.
