So I turned on my PS3 the other day and noticed that the system had downloaded the beta for God of War: Ascension. I suppose that SCEE thought it was being really helpful, doing all the work for me so that I could have access to this wonderful beta with no effort on my part.
Except:
A) I live in a country with data caps, so downloading a 1.5GB file without my permission is just bloody rude.
B) I don't like God of War, so it's even more annoying.
Fortunately, I have a data cap at the larger end of the scale, so it's just annoying. But base data caps here start at 30GB, so that's a good sizable chunk wasted on something that people didn't ask for.
People moan about the ads on XBL, but I find this far more intrusive and overbearing. Bad decision making is bad.

And yes, I sent them a complaint.
Some of us aren't graced with unlimited bandwidth, some of us are forced into shitty bandwidth caps and you would know this if you stepped outside your bubble once and awhile.1.- Get better internet
2.- You can turn it off
3.- Get better internet FFS

Caps Schmaps!
My usage last month, that's normal right?
This thread has just reminded me that I had to turn off the parental lock to find out what had been downloaded for me, and forgot to put it back on...
(I also didn't know that there was now the option to select what kind of auto-downloads you want, and also got annoyed that my increasingly noisy PS3 was on half the night downloading it)
I truly dislike the idea of shifting the blame, and someone even suggesting to sue a company for something as trivial as this, when the fault clearly lies at the user's end. Take a goddam responsibility for your own actions, or lack thereof.
The OP obviously didn't have any objections when he got PlayStation All-Stars beta via the service. Too bad in the real world all users can't define which betas they want, and which they don't.
And it seems like this thread was partly intended as a flamebait for God of War.
I remember that option when I got PS+ and that was when it launched.
Same thing happened after I subscribed to plus. Luckily I noticed it downloading, and stopped it in time (and unchecked the automatic download option). My cap is 5Gig per month :/
Iv done close to 60gb in a day . Data caps are some bullshit but yeah don't complain when you opted in on the features and your Internet sucks1.- Get better internet
