    I bought ps plus when i got my ps3, and ps plus blows soooooo bad. I pay for xbox live as well, and getting ps plus i thought it would atleast be on par with xbox live…Golden axe? got that on xbox live years ago. PSN Doesn’t even compare or even want to compete with xbox live, waaaaaaay more content on live, faster downloads, no lengthy install once you download a game, better multiplayer connections…oh got a update live takes seconds not half hour.

  • AbruptedWotas

    @32, give me a break, on xbox you have to pay 60 a year to play any game online. Its only for used games. Places like gamestop charge ridiculous amounts for used games, (Often only 5 bucks cheaper), maybe this will drop the prices so it evens out.

    Playing online on servers is costly to maintain.

    Many companies already have an online pass.

  • mastorofpuppetz
    July 6, 2011 at 7:58 pm PDT

    @56, get your PS3 connection fixed, i have an Xbox, PC, PS3, barely any difference between live and PSN for Downloads….. Content is about the same….

    Live is mandatory, Plus is optional.

    well, so much negative comments from you guys, it makes it sad to read since I have been a Plus on day one and bought games disc and downloads on the PS3. I really don’t agree with you guys at all. Would you rather pay for the 60 dollars a year instead just to get online? Or would you rather have some sort of different stage of Sliver or Gold to go with that online service and you don’t get no free game at all with that. They offer the Deal of the week for just one game or just deal with Playstation’s sale of games that ranges up to 70percent. Be nice, play nice and I am a happy PlayStation fan and gamer. Thanks!!!

    lol to the complainer trying buyina those snk games. they run about 80-200 usd on disk. If want them working correctly..

    Ps plus is good if you on a budget,. if get it free then whats to coplain about.. And all online passes is just thing companies are doing becuase of redbox and amazons and gamestops are selling games used. I has nothing to do with sony..

    Online Passes are a big deterrent, that notice about an PSN online pass for Resistance 3 was like a slap in my face.

    I dont want Sony become a rippoff company like ACtivision or EA

    Cool looks like the free games on PS+ are slowing down, maybe its just me. And by the way guys sony confirmed the PSN pass its just like the EA online pass, just if you buy a used game you have to buy the online pass to get full access to the multiplayer some access or all will be restricted prior. It just ensures that sony makes money off of the used copies sold because they do not otherwise. Gamestop or any other store that does trade in’s makes 100% profit. Noo big deal they are usually 10$ so it’s usually still cheaper than new.

      We’ve stayed consistent on the free game flow with our most recent additions for July being Bomberman Ultra, MediEvil on PSOne, Me Monstar, and Alien Zombie Death. Golden Axe is just the cherry on top for this month =)

    It kind of sucks that I spend a lot of money on brotherhood, and now your giving the game for free. Do you guys have something I don’t own, or a better option. I feel like I just got burned or suckerd, I love PS3 but you need more options for people who already own these games.

      AC Brotherhood is not being given away for free; it’s now a part of Full Game Trials, which Plus owners have access to. You can download the game and have full access to it for one hour. Kind of like a free rental, basically.

  • Ramage

    kind of lackluster but it’ll keep me busy between games :D.

    BTW whatever is goin on with this PSN Pass thing. If its for real and coming to the US and mimicks EAs online pass (ie required to play online) it would be nice to see PS+ members have free access to all Pass material.

  • LilWayneSuckz

    @Masterofpuppetz

    You’re logic is flawed…Xbox Live is indeed an overrated mess of a system that sheep seem to enjoy paying for regardless of the fact that PSN and Live operate pretty much exactly the same.

    However, Sony advertises the PS3 as having “Free Online Gameplay,” this is what makes the PS3 and Steam a much better alternative to the 360. Their networks play the same as Live, they offer downloadable titles and yet they are free-to-play (or Steam is). Sony can no longer advertise as having “free online gameplay” because they are instituting the pass system forcing those who buy second hand games to have to pay $10 extra (the equivalent of one month of XBL).

    I see this as also damaging to the size of the playerbase. Resistance 3 and Twisted Metal aren’t exactly getting the same hype as Uncharted 3, so what is Sony trying to do here? Resistance 3 and Twisted Metal are most likely going to sell less than Killzone 3 (1.5 million) and that was a greatly hyped online FPS for Sony, the online community will be halved.

    I really don’t care about psn plus and the playstation people should make trophies points so we could get our own free stuff instead of games that I would never play and plus it will keep gamers with sony instead of leaving for xbox 360

    I am hoping that Brotherhood will be 39.99…HOPING. (That’s how much it is at basically every store right now for me) Either way, I’m getting the trial, I always wanted to get Brotherhood. And is there any chance of Assassin’s Creed 1 going on sale on the store again? Because I got AC2 on sale for 9.99, and I couldn’t get 1 in time before it ended.

    To dokoganryu,

    Just to say my friend, I don’t think it is even remotely possible to compare the Japanese ps plus to the North American one. I have been a member of the Japanese one for about 9 months now and all I have to show for it are about 3 dynamic themes and a bunch of old ps one games. It is just my opinion, but I think that in Japan Sony really takes its customers for grated and doesn’t really give them anything special. I mean did you see the welcome back package we got. The psn store just came back two days ago and we still got a crappier deal than the rest of the world. For example, the games we were offered are, again in my opinion, as good as the NA ones, and also, current subscribers to the Japanese ps plus only received a one month extension as opposed to two in NA. Finally, after subscribing to the NA ps plus 4 months ago I have to say that North Americans are enjoying a much more interesting situation. As for the Europeans, I don’t really know.

    after all it shows, Sony is just another corporation willing to screw over the consumers (the so called bloodline) because this online pass WILL NOT INCREASE PROFITS!!!!!!

If so, this is a day one purchase for me! I’m continuing to love PS Plus!

    $15 is a great price for Borderlands GOTY Ed. I spent the entire PSN down time on my first play through, and I haven’t even got to cracking on new game +. I recommend it to anyone who likes games like Fallout with more humor and minus the horrendous crashing.

    Also, I’m glad to see brotherhood on digital, but I’m sad that ps+ only gets a full-game trial and no discount there. As soon as it does, though, I’ll jump on it like Ezio!

    I’ll pipe in again to say that I agree with the others that I’m against the online pass. Business is business, but an online pass feels downright dirty. Will definitely NOT be buying resistance 3 used or new.
