PS+ Sucks big time. Anyways, I am going to start rating the updates based on time updated on Tuesdays. I gave it a 1 today, and will do so until Sony gets their heads out their a**es. How hard is it to have a set time on updates? REALLY please just explain and STOP ignoring the consumer!!!!!
um is it me..or is SHANK taking FOREVER to DOWNLOAD..:/
Plus update was a disapointment. Already had Mushroom Wars way before. I absolutely don’t care about anything that isn’t trophy enabled (minis and PS One classics), especially when the PS One classics given for free are simply bad, no name games no one ever heard about. I don’t like the rhytm at which Sony is giving us content, neither the quality of the content. It’s a shame, but I guess I’m the one to blame for trusting blindly. Should’ve waited to see.
@ 150
It took me about 2 hours to DL, and the funny thing is, IGN.com is saying it’s only a 3 hour game! I should of known this coming from EA! On the bright side 1up gave it an A grade…
Downloading MAG beta now. Wooo
I’m sure there are so many people that could have used the protection plan a long time ago before spending $150 to get their system fixed. I myself would’ve bought this last week before my PS3 stopped working and I shelled out the $150! Thanks for releasing this one too late!
I have saved over 40 dollars on PS+ so far it’s been a great investment for me :P
I am GreatnessRD and I’ve been ripped off by Playstation Plus. And as an amazing consolation prize, I can’t even buy a protection plan for my $600 Playstation 3 system. Nice! Thanks for the update Grace and whoever else!
*Wait for it*
/Sarcasm
Where is Blacklight: Tango down?
@GreatnessRD
You are SO RIGHT!
Same for me here, over 600$ in my account.
bought a CECHP 160gb oct 2008
so this mean no protection plan for me.
I dont even know if this avaible for Canadian or only USA residents. Because, hey! We always have to “wonder” and “speculate”…
I’m very tired, please change Sony Staff
PS. Sony, Stop Lying
I’m happy about the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 Demo….. but when it said Network Demo, I thought that meant you could play the demo online against other players. I already played the Demo when it was released in Japan and they’re the same except for English dubbed and subtitles….
Long Live PlayStation!
Please cut the price on assassins creed bloodlines it is 20 dollars at any game stop 18 at amazon and 40 on PSN… That is not fair for PSP Go users!
PS+ subscriber from day 1 and no dead nation beta……..WHAT THE HELL DID I PAY FOR!?!
P.S. You might have more ps+ members if you offered the betas exclusive to us.
I will download the Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 demo tomorrow. Can’t do it now since I just came back from the awesome PS Move event in DC.
I already got PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap. Pretty cool, but harder than I thought.
Motorstorm 3D Rift = NO TROPHY’S = FAIL
Go, go gadget SHANK! Finally! Here’s your $15 Klei! Perhaps I’ll buy my bro a copy as well.
I also broke down and bought Mafia 2. Fawk what Eurogamer said.. I’m sure it’s a great linear single player game. It’s not supposed to be GTA.
Hell, I even thought Kane & Lynch 2 was a decent shooter. Albeit all the good weapons are from the military and I ran through the single player TWICE in under 6 HOURS. So, yeah it’s short. Not even 5-6 hours, more like 3.
im a bit confused why is there another beta for MAG since the game is already out ???
@Cyb3rfr34k-iso: Thanks for the info. You just saved me $10.
Wow I’m surprised I never heard of Shank. I got no hype or play whatsoever. I liked the demo much better than Scott Pilgrim (besides the music).
Looking forward to Castle Crashers next week too =)
No BETA for dead nation for plus subscribers?! That better change with the Killzone 3 beta. I’ll be dropping PS+ otherwise. Nice to get a few free games every couple of weeks, but they are games I otherwise WOULDN’T have purchased.
@B0_wAlEeD55: It is only good if you have MAG. It’s for a new game mode or something.
I have an issue is there a reason why Pixeljunk racers is off the store before the store update today? I can buy Pixeljunk Racers it won’t let me and only has Pixel Junk Racers 2nd Lap but I would prefer to get both if I can
Is there anything that can be done to buy pixeljunk racers because it won’t even let me buy it from the demo.
Erm.. if i recall when I did some research about ps plus the official playstation post said 2 premium avatars, 2 premiumordynamic themes (BOTH EXCLUSIVE TO PS PLUS) 2 psn games a month for free, 1 mini, 1 ps1, early beta ccess, exclusive demos. This was supposed to be monthly. I’ve seen 2 avatars exclusive to ps plus and thats about it. I’m not very dissapointed with psn plus, but i would like to get s’more bragging rights.. >:l sony better read this.
okay update i guess. i wanted to play Mushroom Wars for a while. i am kinda pissed on not getting in the Dead Nation beta tho. I really thought that was the one Sony was gonna give to the Plus users.
I have no issue with PSN plus I rather enjoy it so far and think it can only get better.
The mag beta is for the new Escalation game type that pits all three factions against each other, a new skill system, new currency and gear system, and the new CLAN DEPLOY feature.
I don’t know why people thanks Grace, Ro and all the staff of the ps store for bringing new stuff or make them available early….IT’S THEIR JOB!, they get paid for doing that. Besides, we give them money buying the stuff…
It’s like going to every retail store and thank every employee to put items in the shelves! BIG LOL.
@Lothars: 2nd lap was just an update for Pixeljunk racers. It’s not actually a second game. They added trophies and tweak the gameplay a bit.
It would’ve been nice to have been told that the MAG beta required the actual disk. :< I was excited to play it and everything…
shank and naruto shippuden:UNS2, thank you for taking the edge off what was a dull day at work.
If you click on the MAG beta name it takes you to the page that tells you all about needing the disk.
https://blog.playstation.com/2010/08/18/mag-moves-plus-the-new-beta-program/
Thats ok, Keep giving demo’s to only plus members. One less buy I have to spend my money on. I never buy a game without first trying it, As I bet others do as well. I’m guessing there are more gamers who can’t/won’t pay for plus service so who is winning by offering it to only plus members? I foresee a decline is PSN profits if it continues, And we know it will. You guys are starting to show your greed. And the plus is nothing to get excited about anyways. Even the plus members are bitter about the service and it’s only been what two months now? And the service plan is a crock. Why don’t you just manufacture systems to last more than a year or two and gamers wouldn’t have to worry if something is gonna go wrong with it. Just Saying…
any word on a patch for scott pilgim vs the world cus come on the game is basicly non play able as it freezes my system so very much it worked fine till half way into the game or so so come on sony do something to get this problem fixed
@178 gdogg666
Did you try deleting the Download file and trying to re-download it to see it works?
Oh yeah Sony, WE want Scott Pilgrim vs the World the game Avatars!
I AM A PLUS MEMBER SINCE DAY 1 !! WHAT HAPPEN TO MY BETA CODE FOR DEAD NATION??? THIS IS THE LOVE PLUS MEMBERS GET?? IT JUST SEAMS GRACE AND STAFF REALLY ARE MASTERS AT URKING THEIR AUDIENCE . LET THE CURTAINS DOWN THE SHOWS OVER
Sweet Update! can’t wait for Birth By Sleep in 2 weeks! I hope its on the PS Store!
MAG beta for ps move you need the disc. [DELETED] how they dont include that
When can I get an extended warranty in Canada? My system is almost a year old. This is stupid.
i’m playing shank it’s a really fun game and i played naruto demo, i have to say it was really short
Nice update !!!
Shouldnt have bought PSN+… oh well, at least we got a Naruto demo that I’ve already beaten 20x in japanese?
PSN+ to me seems to be shaping up to be the opposite of what they said it would, if I were a casual gamer I would probably enjoy getting this amazing new stuff that I never saw before.
However since Im 24 and play my PS3 almost daily I have seen and already bought basically everything offered.
not a good update for the psp… some games are just filler.
What exactly is the point of spending a fortune on “hilarious” new PSP advertising if the system gets zero support on PSN?
You’re focusing on knocking iPhone games and yet the only game you can muster for PSP this week is an iPhone port. Oh the irony.
Thank God for Y’s SEVEN last week.
Once again, a worthless update for psp go owners.
It says Shank TRIAL not demo will I earn trophies for checking it out? Will it last > 1 hour??
Holy crap, a Dead Nation BETA? Why wasn’t this given to me through PS+, not my email?
Also, PS+ PSP!!!!!!!!!
@DZORMAGEN
yea i did that still keeps on messing up
Wow alot of crying. Got my beta code. Mmmm your guys tears taste so sweet…
god americans are a whiny of idiots.
1) its ur own fault for getting ps+ day 1 when you didn’t know if it was any gud…. just shut up.
2) ppl who are complaining about this being a poor update need to shut up just coz there is nothing specifically for u… try shank an be quite
3) psp users do have sumfing to complain about but its not sonys fault because publishers have not released there games yet so just wait they will come.
4) complete an uter idiots whining about the time psn updates REALLY need to shut up there are alot of factors that go into making the update and trust me they are doing it as fast as they can.
I guess its not ur fault that u dont know all this stuff an i do because here in the eu we get replyied to every week and thats how i know this stuff so the idiot twins ro and grace need to start replying to make you all understand….. O AN PLZZ DON’T invade the EU blog i dnt think i could stand to see u whinny bunch there :)
