Update: We know many of you were looking forward to playing the promised DRIVECLUB PS Plus Edition and we are truly sorry for the delay. Our first priority is to provide you with the best possible experience while playing DRIVECLUB. With the high volume of new players and additional server load the PS Plus Edition is anticipated to bring, we are currently not confident that we can guarantee the best online experience. Until we can ensure that everyone can enjoy the full social connected online experience, we will be postponing the release of the PS Plus Edition until further notice.

Lots of things make me mad, mostly your attitude. The game is taking a backseat the rage I feel over you calling everybody in here a goyim repeatedly.
goy (goi)
n. pl. goy·im (goim) or goys Offensive
Used as a disparaging term for one who is not a Jew.
If you felt that the premise of my first post was to target the game and my built up animosity, you are wrong in your assumption and there for I am labeling you as down right stupid. So many things I wanna say to you right now, but since my mom did not teach me that I shouldn’t say mean things to people (I imagine she was equal in mental stature as you) I will just try to not get banned from here by breaking their rules.
I know I’m wasting my time here but my god, some of you are terrible. Complaining about a free game that’s a couple hours late. As plus buyers, sure you have a right, but can you give them some damn time? Would you rather they put it out really buggy and not working at all as opposed to make sure it’s all working well? They clearly haven’t put it up yet because if they did, it wouldn’t be working right. You people can be so insufferable with your complaints. You think *****ing and moaning is going to help any? I’d much rather they took their time and got it out when it’s ready. You all need Valium or something to calm yourselves. I’ve never seen a group of such impatient and rude people before. I thought when I made the switch to Playstation from the 360 I’d see a more respectable crowd here. Your all the same…”GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE” Week in and week out all I see is complaining about the games they are offering for free or the sales aren’t good. I have downloaded so much stuff off PSN in the last 1-2 years it’s insane. I just don’t get it.
I mean, people wouldn´t be complaining if they´d just come out and say what the problem is. A fricking tweet, an answer to one of these comments, a post, something. Why the need to be coy? I don´t mind waiting but let me know I have to wait first so I don´t look for the game all over the ps store like an idiot thinking I can´t find it.
I’m wondering if Sony just messed up on this update as I noticed that 3 hours ago I could purchase both versions of Drive Club even though I have Plus. That has now been fixed and I can only purchase the plus version. Perhaps this weeks Plus update is a work in progress for the rest of the day. After Sony was hacked by Anonymous they have been super cool to their fans (a complete 180) from the company that was taking things away. I think this was just an honest mistake. Remember, the webmaster is just a human like ourselves :-) I’m sure it will show up shortly.
Like, when a game is discounted for PS Plus members you don’t see the discounted version and the full-priced version listed as separate things in the store, you just see the discounted version.
So why, with DRIVECLUB, are PS Plus subscribers seeing both the $49.99 discounted version of the full game AND the $59.99 version available in the store when it should be the same as any other discounted title? I guarantee that $59.99 slot is where the free PS Plus edition was supposed to appear but somebody effed up when they updated the store and now they’re scrambling to fix it. Smooth guys. Real smooth. smh
This may not be related to the complaints here, but where is Minecraft for PS Vita? It has been more than 2 weeks since it passed for final testing, so I think it should have been out by now. If now, can you please at least provide a release date? Thanks!
If you guys could get through one digital release without f’ing something up, I’d be amazed. Here’s my suggestion: fire every incompetent moron you have working for PSN and use some of that PS Plus money to hire people who actually know what they’re doing. We’re sick of this amateur hour crap. Better yet, since your a Japanese company and shame is bad, just pass out swords and have them all fall on them.
And because I keep seeing this: the free PS Plus edition of DRIVECLUB was always named, albeit vaguely, as a separate thing from the full version from the moment it was announced as a PS+ perk, just copy and paste this link, without the spaces, to see the announcement: http://youtu. be/NOoJ6ucEY8g? t=1h28m52s
and do the same with this link to see where, a month later, they clarified what that separate version would be minus some tracks and cars: http://www. primagames. com/games/drive-club/news/driveclub-playstation-plus-edition-explained
Never, at any time, did anyone from Sony or the developer, Evolution, imply that the full game would be free to PS Plus subscribers, so you need to let that one go.

Sony is monitoring this because they removed my post about hoping for a ddos attack. They monitor the blog but refuse to update their customers. Think about that!
So I looked through the list and it’s good so far with some games but what I’m failing to understand is what is ‘DriveClub: PS Plus Edition.’
When I looked at it, I thought it would be a free thing for PS Plus subs to play and try out; instead I see it’s still the full game but it’s discounted for PSP subs for $10 less.
Sorry, I just thought to address this since there is alot of people already beat me to the punch and complaining about it and questioning about this so-called, PS Plus Edition.
Hope to get a response as soon as you guys can.
Thanks you if you read this and have the answer for it or not.
I will still appreciate it. :D
To those having issue getting Vita Rainbow Moon, go the web store (PC), click on PS Vita at top and All PS Vita games below it. Scroll through the pages until you see it for FREE and add to cart. It’s on page 8, third item on Row 4 for me.
I just added it, purchased but didn’t download since I don’t own a Vita. Maybe one day. Hope that helps!
@DarkStar83x: Thanks, but it’s not listed under the PS+>Free Games category on the store (both on the web and on the PS3). I had to search for it.
My friend does not have it listed under Free Games either, had to search for it too. He owned the PS3 version, so the cross-save bundle is not available, he has to get the Vita one.
Is Sony always so bad with communications? Where is the Driveclub Playstation Plus edition? …and the servers are down for the full game… I have been contemplating switching from Xbone to PS4 for GTAV but I know Live is pretty solid…and PSPlus seems to be a little fragile… Hmmmm, back to the drawing board….
Yeah, I don’t mean to sound like a jerk, but haven’t we waited long enough for Drive Club? I remember scraping to buy a PS4 on launch day and I got together the money for Black Flag, but was sad I couldn’t get more than one game for day one release. My boyfriend goes, “DON’T WORRY! You get Drive Club for free on PS+ for release!” I was like, “oh yay, I forgot!”. Then what happens? Oh I remember, pushed back a whole year – what a let down. I tried to say to myself, “better late than released unfinished”. Then it turns out not only is it a year later, but it’s not even the full edition, it has less maps/cars, – more if a let down. “Oh well”, I say to myself, at least it’ll be a little fun…..Then here we are (the day we’re supposed to have our PS+ edition) and it’s not available. I love you Sony, but this game is starting to get ridiculous.
Instead of complaining, how about people give Dust a go? It really is great. I know it doesn’t look like your typical “OMG AAA EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE GRAPHICS” game, but it’s free. Which is a huge bargain, since it’s definitely worth the money.
@Junson23 Hoe did you get Dust for free? I had to pay $50 for a year of Plus to get it. You must have worked some magic to not pay a single cent for it.
Btw all three versions of Rainbow Moon, the PS3, Vita, and Cross-Save Bundle, are now showing as free in the PS Plus section of the webstore, for those of you who may have bought one version previously or were having trouble finding it.
Any chance of getting the rainbow moon bundle fixed if we already own one of them? I have the vita version but can’t get the cross-save bundle, BECAUSE I have the vita version. so now ps3 version for me?
I, like many here are waiting on the Driveclub Playstation Plus Edition. But I wanna inform some of the people who were under the impression that we’d be receiving the FULL GAME for free, that we were never offered it and at the very beginning of the PS+ announcement for DC Sony announced it as a PS+ Edition.
Now with that said and after reading tons of comments in disgust over the wait of our free version of Driveclub, I have to say I’m mostly disappointed in the fact that absolutely nobody has made a reply to any one of these comments. That’s eleven pages of no response, nothing, not even a post in regards to the situation.
Now I don’t mind waiting as I’ve been playing Destiny and Dust pretty much all day, but was really looking forward to playing Driveclub on my day off. Seems as though it may not happen, such a shame.
Kristine Steimer – “All of these games will be free for Plus members starting October 7th. Watch the video below to see these titles in action.”
Ok so that means that we should all be expecting DriveClub PS+Edition on the 7th.
People are getting their fires lit and heading to the hardware store for pitchforks. This is more the principle of it, It just goes to show the lower excitement level that old indies and 5 year old games engender when a deluxe demo is by far the most exciting offering for the month.
I would like to try it for myself and I have wasted a bunch of time getting the updates today. It’s annoying.
74 on metacritic with 43 reviews, not exactly what I was hoping for after a year delay.
DriveClub was promised day 1 for PS+ users, yet it’s not there even WITH the new update. No mention of it, either? Guess my PS4 will continue to gather dust as I play Forza.
Is Sony always so bad with communications? Where is the Driveclub Playstation Plus edition? …and the servers are down for the full game… I have been contemplating switching from Xbone to PS4 for GTAV and COD Advanced Warfare but I know Live is pretty solid…and PSPlus seems to be a little fragile… Hmmmm, back to the drawing board….
@535
That’s what makes me mad. I can totally understand if there is an issue , servers or what have you, and they can’t get the free ps+ demo version out at the moment. But to have 11 pages of people asking , along with dozens of posts on Facebook ect asking what’s up , and not a single reply from Sony at all is what I am mad about.
I’m also sick of people talking about “it’s free” logic and rationalizing anything off that way.
You like the inclusion of something, that’s great but if it misses the tastes and preferences of others they have a right to say I don’t like my dollars going towards that.
Frankly the offerings are generally fine, in all fairness I don’t think you can expect AAA $59.99 / $39.99 (vita) original release price titles often.
What we should hold Sony to task for is not delivering on their promises. Not delivering a variety of genres and relevant titles.
5 year old batman while a great game, is not convincing for owners of just a PS3.
Even owning all 3 platforms myself it can be a mixed bag month to month. I do like that all the titles come live at the start of the plus month though, that is a huge convenience for me, in that I am able to play the few titles that interest me and that I have time for.
I have a young son and don’t have a large amount of time, so I prefer quality over quantity as my time is more precious.
I would like to see more discounts for new games, and better sales though with the Plus+ but in all fairness there have been deals to suit most tastes if you watch each week and keep an eye on Flash sales.
I have too much to play. This month all that really interested me was DriveClub+ ed, the rest I am likely to try once or twice and eventually delete.
To each his own, if we don’t advocate and show that we know that “free with plus” really means “included with plus” then how do we expect to vote with pre spent dollars on subs.
except for direct links to PSPlus purchases. And to prove this point, when I go to click on the game I get his message:
“You are not able to purchase this product for the following reason(s): You already own: – Playstation Plus”
@GummyCore It’s under the Rainbow Moon Cross-Save Bundle.
@512 Implying it’s sony’s fault what happens with the crews errors thats the creators not sony.
WHEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IS DRIVECLUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB PS PLUS EDITION? :@ :@ :@ :@ :@

I was hoping when I got off work tonight I could download me some driveclub but looks like something’s messed up going on here.
Wow, if “comments are the lifeblood of the PlayStation Blog” then I certainly don’t want a transfusion from this post! :)
I’ll just sit here and twiddle my thumbs until the Driveclub demo eventually gets added to the store.
Or play more of Destiny.
If you guys could get through one digital release without f’ing something up, I’d be amazed.

This post is similar to the PSN BR blog, where no one answers anything.
Sony HUEHUEHUEBR spreading to the world.
This really is Unfortunate.
So driveclub is now not available for purchase….
So I looked through the list and it’s good so far with some games but what I’m failing to understand is what is ‘DriveClub: PS Plus Edition.’

I can’t haz Driveclub+ ?!1 ;{
Pretty unbelievable that the one game EVERYONE WAS LOOKING FOR is AWOL. Can we plz get a status update for Driveclub plus edition?
