Three brilliant games right there. Hopefully Burnout comes with the extra area that was released as paid dlc (surf island or something)

Can't wait to play James Pond again.

For the automatic download feature to work, you need to have 5120MB or more of free space (which I just found out a second ago when I put my PS3 on ) Need to get deleting...

After month's at the start of Plus of saying how great it is, then this year saying how I won't be renewing, I ended up renewing lol my sub now runs out 7th Dec 2012.

Want to know the REAL reason I did?....

The gold star next to my name, cloud saves, and auto downloads.

It did only cost me £29 though as I bought cards cheap, so not too bad.

Well I've today tried playing some of these PS+ games.

I love games and have played them for years, but Sonic The Hedgehog is just odd. Never played it as a youngster, but he just goes too fast for my eyes! Seems a bit boring too.

So I tried James Pond 2... again, you just collect things and move on. There's nothing to do lol

Burnout next....hope I can get into something from Plus lol

Just got this for free (as part of the free months PS+)....It's great. I thought it was just a near launch racing game, but apparently despite being released in early 2008, the game had about 18 months worth of free updates and improvements with generous extra content.....Its really really good, and if (like me) you are playing it for the first time now then you are essentially playing the deluxe version with all the content included. I have no idea how this game was under my radar for so long, its great.

Also the soundtracks great, Everything from Mozart to Adam and the Ants

Mine finally expires on the 7th.

I like the Cloud storage, the auto updates (if they worked) but 95% of the content does nothing for me. The free dynamic themes are all I've used.

Not as enthusiastic as I once were.

Hope 3.71 comes soon so everything works again, not keen on paying for broken services.


EDIT: Off topic but going back to dynamic themes, Destination: Brooklyn Bridge is awesome, not free to Plus users needless to say.

Wow - the US are getting a load of content this month, including Resi 1,2 and 3 free, and 50% discounts on the HD versions of Code Veronica and Resi 4. Throw in Plants vs Zombies for free and a load of decent full game trials (inc. bulletstorm) and you have a really strong month.


http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/...ts-vs-zombies/

Hopefully the EU update will be able to match this - It wont be pretty on the official blog otherwise. 50% discounts for the Resi HD remakes would be great.

Wow 50%? Doubt we'll get that, but if we did it would mean those Resi Evil HD games would be about £8 each.

I'm buying them regardless of price so like John Tesco says, "Every little helps" lol

Anyone know when we find out what we get this month?

Thats a good list. As you say, the EU offerings better be as good or there will be hell to pay. I've been rather disapointed with the recent offerings but fortunately have had the welcome back games to keep my interest. But if they don't offer us something good soon then I can see my sub lapsing come december.

They usually post the details up on the day of the update, so tomorrow.

If those Resi games come in with a 50% discount I am in. The price is the only thing that has put me off so far.

Have been enjoying the betas lately too - AC: Revelations is great fun. Have you guys tried it?

The new downloads are normally available around 5 ish if I rember correctly. They're cutting it fine about letting us know what we are getting - if in fact we will find in advance!!

I don't see why they can't follw the US lead and let us know a couple of days before

They've started taking payments for resubscription from people who signed up for the year on day on. I just got an email saying payment had failed as I have chose not to carry on with Plus.

I think PS+ has proved to be a bit of a waste of time tbh. Glad I never signed up.

Not enough relevant PS3 game downloads to make it a must have for me. I got Assassin's Creed Brotherhood as thats about the only decent PS3 title on there. They need to get more up-to-date games for download.

The Ratchet and Clank beta makes this month an instant win for me. Was really surprised by that and it is one of my most anticpated games of the year.

They also mention in the comments that the day 1 discounts for the Resi HD remakes is 50% which is cool.
Great month.

My little Plus sign has gone so looks like the 7th was right. They've cut it short so I miss out on the 50% off the RE HD remakes.

I haven't ruled out renewing my sub but gonna leave it for now. It hasn't been great value for me and despite the great auto update and cloud features, they alone aren't worth it for the amount I use my ps3 these days.

Definitely been worth it for me the amount of games my kids have enjoyed via it and also the amount of games i've discovered, Annoyed i bought plants vs zombies though and missed out on it in + but then thought that was too big a game to give away. So shows the good value
