So hang on...you guys are saying that if I get PSN+ today I will get to download and play all those games for free? Or is it 5 games per month become free or something?

No. Games come and go every month. So if you see something you like this month, don't wait as it might not be there the next.

So If I download something this month...I keep it? But if I miss it, Its gone from being available?

Or do games dissapear from my collection even if I download them?

If you join PS+ right now you can add all of the IGC content to your cart and chekcout and it will all be added to your download list (even if you never actually download them). Yes, you can even do this to whatever Vita titles is available right now in the collection (assuming you dont even own a Vita).

If you join right now through a PS+ subscription of 1 month, as said above, every title offered in that 1 month will be added to your download list (assuming you checkout with all of them - which you totally should) for all eternity (until the sad day that is going to be the end of PSN that is)for you to download how many times you want.

AND, if after having your 1 month sub running out, you decide at some point to resub to PS+, all of those titles that you added to your dl list (and perhaps actually downloaded them) will be available for you to play again (they are blocked out when your sub runs out)

Hopefully that cleared up whatever doubts you had :]

You don't have to download them. Click purchase and they are yours to download and play whenever as long as you are subbed to PSN+.



PSN+ offers a lot but I still want to my multiplayer matches to be free. It's fighting games that make me go online to enjoy some unexpected challenges. I don't like to be forced to pay just to play a couple of fights online. PSN and LIVE are shit, thanks.

you dont even have to download it. say the game you want or might want but arent sure, you can just click on it a put it in your cart. and it will stay there forever, and you can download it a later date anytime you want. but yes you only have a one month or so window to put that game in your cart, and if you miss it, you wont be able to download the game for free (unless it comes back in the rotation of free games) what me and my brother do (he's the one with psn +) we just put all the main games in our cart, and later down the road if we decide we want to play it, even after its been cycled out of the free game rotation, we just click download, and play it.

That actually ain't bad at all... If it was timed so that every month you would get access to certain games but then they'd dissapear, it wouldn't be anything worthwhile but this way its actually a fairly compelling offer.

My ideal scenario would be to pay PSN or XBL $5-10 dollars more per month and to get access to 2 game rentals every month. Any game that I choose and that is 3 months or older... Its always nice to choose your own games.

But Sony has something pretty sweet here it if works like you guys say it does...

If u download a game its yours as long as you keep renewing your subscription, if you cancel it then thr games cant be played. However if u resubrscribe those games are availablr again.

For example, I have a 3 month subscription to Plus and in that time ive gotten, Deus Ex, Saints Row 3, Sleeping Dogs, Demon Souls, Vanquish, Darksiders, Little Big Planet 2, as long as I keep my subsription going those games will still be availabe. If I cancel then they are blocked. If say 6 months from now I decide to subscribe again, I regain access to all those games.

Theres a limit on how many games u can download a month but im not sure how many, also I dont believe there is roll over, so if I dont use any of my downloads this month, it doesnt mean I get to download double the amount next month.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

First month of the 2nd Year of PSN+ offers these games

Good value for your money but I don't like to be forced.

You would dare doubt of me?! XD (i know, i know, i dont post very often...)

But i surely recommend you subscribing to PS+ if you can afford it, it really works like i said! So far my experience with it has been pretty good with the service.

If you decide to sub to it, i also suggest that maybe you should consider getting it in a EU (assuming you live in the US witch is a bit of a stretch) account since they have far better deals... In the best case scenario for the US in a month we only even it out with them :(
