SCE will further increase sales by offering users new entertainment through the combination of hardware, software, peripheral and PlayStation Network," states Sony overlord Kaz Hirai. "Especially in the online area, we are studying the possibility of introducing a subscription model, offering premium content and services, in addition to the current free services."



So...who wants to bet that subscribers will have a better online experience than people who just use the "free" PSN?
If the rumor's to be believed then cloud gaming for PS1/PS2 titles, if lets us have the entire backlog of games from both of those systems (it'll obviously take some time to get them all up though) and a couple free I'd pay for it more often.

just sign up again lol.
im suprised they havent got psn cards in store with enough value to get 12 months plus membership.

Apparently Sony are finally getting them in Europe and Australian stores soon.


Guyver said:For me it would have to be some free games a month, I don't care if I don't keep them. Just have a bunch of games you can download and play for a month, if you like it you can buy it, preferably at a discounted rate. Just cycle through a bunch of PSN downloads, doesn't have to full new release games. A new full version game a month would be something that would get me right back into it.

They do have that though most of the time, I grabbed about 10 titles for free off of plus this month, one a new PSN release that only came out last month.

And for the months where they have less titles they seem to include more recent and higher quality games.

And I paid $21 for a 3 month sub, and I've already got about $80 games from it in the first months worth, and I've still got two worth to go. That's amazing value for the low low price I paid. But I might have just got lucky and signed up at a time when they were having good offers.

Serious? Awesome news, 150mb was nowhere near enough seeing that the average Skyrim saves after 70 hours are nearly 10mb.

FFXIII-2 was 23mb.
1 year of PS plus is currently 25% off

Anyone need to renew their playstation plus subscription? They have a deal on to get 25% off going until the 19th, RDR is free to download this month for plus users.

Seems smart because people who've been on it from the start like me have to renew soon (I have until the 9th) & I'd assume there'd be a fair few in the same boat.

Edit- haha Stu same email! Lol, I saw it earlier today on the XMB as well.
I saw it on the PSN when I got home from work and forgot to post it here, the email reminded me :P
Do you need to renew? I'm picking up a $50 card tomorrow to renew I think it's been worth the money, might put a preorder down for Dishonored as well.
Can't decide weather to renew or not... Mines up in October but I'm not keen on the fact that your just basically renting the licences for these 'free' titles. But at the same time would I keep these games anyway after platinuming them?
I like owning titles in their boxes too but again would I keep them in the long run?

Today on the US ps blog: "Online Game Save Storage Increase Coming with PS3 System Software Update (v4.25)". I have no idea when the update is coming though :S

edit: oh the european ps blog says the firmware update is coming tomorrow
I could swear PS plus used to download firmware updates for me?

stublu said: I could swear PS plus used to download firmware updates for me?

Do you have automatic downloads switched on? It should if it is, but you might have turned it off accidentally.

I do. It downloads game patches for me all the time, but it didn't download this firmware update.
it auto renewed on mine even though i didn't have my credit card on file??? wtf.

Thinking of complaining to sony i didn't want to renew...

If all the games i get is borderlands and red dead redemption... i am not interested unless they are goty edition...

If you do/don't have a Vita and have Playstation Plus I'd recommend picking one up, you get quite alot of the Vitas titles for free when you're a PS+ member

Arkham City.. erhmehgerd!
Oh and.. wth? they remove some of the games off your ps3? or is it off the store?
Off the store because they rotate (get rid of old ones and put new ones in) content/games. If you have the games on your download list/PS3 they'll be removed, but will come back as soon as your resubscribe to Playstation Plus.

Think it of renting something, but when you use the rental service again you get those games back.
dirty ****s.

For australia only

Instead of Mortal Kombat on Vita for free. You get Batman lego part 1 for psp.

Are you ****ing kidding? Thats the best they can do?

If it was american they would give out brand new games.

Rage quits cancels subscription.
