It's worth checking all the install and patch files too - they really add up after a while.
Ah balls - I assumed that all the games would be the latest versions.

As it stands all these games are around 50GB

Sorry - my bad. I meant for clearing your hard drive. I often come across old install data worth a couple of gig of space. So if HDD space is at a premium I would go to town on that folder.

That said I will be interested to see if these are the latest versions of the games. LBP2 in particular will be painful if not. There will be about 10 patches for that one!

Oh, I'm with you now. Space isn't a problem thankfully

I'm in two minds about renewing mine at the end of this year.

So we now only get PS3 games, which is great, but say you do build up a little digital collection, and then the content runs dry and you decide to no longer renew... your collection is gone forever. You'll then lose a big part of your collection - the same as if Plus ever stops or if the PS4 arrives and doesn't offer this service.

It's technically just a rental service, and for the £40 you pay for your sub, you could buy a lot of these games pre-owned on the cheap.

Unless I'm wrong and someone can put me right, this isn't a great deal?

After this month its approx £3.33 a month for at least 3 PS3 games, plus any ps1 classics, themes avatars and discounts you might like

Saying £1.11 per ps3 game is to much is pretty silly

You don't get PS1 games anymore, and it doesn't look like you get themes or avatars free either.

It's not silly, out of the titles they are giving you this month, I've played a lot of them, and the others don't interest me. They are oldish titles now that's all I'm saying.

The £40 you pay for Plus could give you a new title.

For me it's well worth the money. £40 for a new release game or £40 for a years supply of games, that I haven't played.

Are you going to re-sub then Dark?

I've just downloaded Outland and Space Marine. Thought I might as well try them bearing in mind my sub is until Dec.

I never liked InFamous really apart from the Vampire DLC. I doubt InFamous 2 will impress me.

Motostorm looks ok too but again, racing games arn't for me.

I'll see what titles come out over the next few months.

If they give us Just Cause 2 I'll be a bit happier lol

I probably will re-sub. For me it's great value, but then I could use my dad's account and play for free - that's good value lol.

If you can get credit cheap then it's worth it - Sony were selling £20 on their site for £17 + a discount code = £16.15 for £20 credit. So you can get Plus for about £32 if you're smart.

I might try and pick up a £25 code cheap and then use my balance to make up the rest. Got about £50 on my PSN account at the mo lol

Actually you'll still get PSN and PS1 content, just this month, because of the change, they're focusing only on PS3 games, next month there will be less new PS3 games but a mix of PS1 games, PSN stuff, etc, like usual with a couple of PS3 games in the background.

I suppose this could be worth it providing they get title's I haven't played before. This is great for those light gamers who hardly ever buy any games.

To be fair, I'll probably renew it for another year lol - cloud saving and auto updates and the discounts would be missed.

Where else can you spend £40 and get 43 PS3 games (+ whatever PS1, PS2 & Mini titles they chuck in) to play?

I understand, but half of those I've probably already played, some I'd never play. It's going to be one of those things that I need to see if I will get use from first.

If Plus ever finishes, you lose the lot.

I get what you mean, but think of it like this. Sky, you pay Sky a monthly subscription, now, you could throw a 1TB hard drive into your box and record like entire seasons of TV shows and films onto that thing to playback whenever you want, but the moment you stop paying Sky, you lose that. The content is still on your hard drive but you don't have a right to play it anymore, until of course you re-subscribe, and then you'll be able to play all the stuff you've recorded again.

This is essentially a subscription service for games, with both old and new games mixed in, you pay a one off yearly charge and get to download the games and play them as much as you want as long as you remain a subscriber.

Yeah I get what you mean. I'll possibly still renew though.

This is taking a lot longer than i though to download them

Since about half 4, i've downloaded Outland, Renegade Ops, Oddworld and Little Big Planet is almost installed, God knows how long Infamous 2 and Darksiders will take to download

Still i'm happy to be getting the games for essentially nothing so its not all bad

Best to leave them overnight. Leave them downloading and tell your PS3 to shutdown once finished. They even install themselves that way.

I should have Outland and Space Marine finished by morning.

They're worth the wait - two awesome games. Infamous 2 is a brilliant open world platformer/shooter, that deserves far more praise (and sales) than it gets. Darksiders is another overlooked gem. I wasn't a big fan of the art stye but the gameplay is really solid.

Outland is a really beautiful game - and a good 2D platformer with some really cool bullet hell, Ikaruga style mechanics (with two colours of bullets and your character can switch colours to match them)

Renegade Ops is a fun twin stick shooter by the Just Cause 2 guys - with good destruction etc. Again a really good looking game. I didn't like the split screen game play though so the local multiplayer was a bit of a let down for me.

I downloaded Warhammer, Chime and Virtua Fighter which are the only ones I don't already have. Even though I own most of the titles on offer it still seems a good deal for me. It will be interesting to see if they can keep the quality level high on this.

WOW - all those games totally free???

With the exception of LBP I haven't played any of those!

That's my game buying days over.

Still on the fence about buying PSN+, now is the time. Hell, now is the time to buy a PS3!



Is this just a one-off or are Sony gonna be giving more full games away over the coming months?

It looks like (or how I've read it) we get 3 PS3 games a month.

It's a steal - and Sony done something good - surprise surprise.

Very tempted to get the a 3month account as a trial with this latest change, 5 of the games look like the sort of thing I would enjoy.

The Space Marines game has an online pass type thing listed that allow you to reach above level5 online is this part of the PS+ free download or is the PS+ version limited to level5 online?
