well then for you it seems like the discounts part of the deal is the one that you would like since you buy so much alreadysurly said:lol.
When I got my PS3 a couple of years ago, I bought all of the PSN games I liked the look of from the back catalogue. I've since bought any release that I think I'll like. All that leaves is stuff I don't care about, or maybe the odd game where if I played it, I'd find I like it, but that doesn't make PSN+ a good prospect for me, because they'll be dipping into that back catalogue for their "free" games, so the bulk of it will be games I already own or games I don't want.

no cross game chat according to sony.netguy503 said:plus the hour demos of retail games, the cross game chat, and instant game patching...there are alot of features people are glossing over when they say "I already have that game".
yencid said:no cross game chat according to sony.
true :lolnetguy503 said:no cross game chat...right now.
I don't think 15 games is a lot out when you consider I'm choosing from about 3½ years worth of releases. I'd be paying £40 a year in the hope I get discounts on games I'm interested in, when I'm only buying about 4-5 games a year as it is. I'll certainly keep my eye on it to see what games/discounts are offered in the first few months, but right now I'm not tempted at all.yencid said:well then for you it seems like the discounts part of the deal is the one that you would like since you buy so much already
"We hear you" "We're looking into it..." "This is on top of our list."netguy503 said:no cross game chat...right now.
They have altered the deal. Pray they do not alter it further.netguy503 said:no cross game chat...right now.
Well I believe that if they want people to buy this it should have more information than we already have. Who knows if they will do it right.TTP said:You can't really believe such a FAQ will be of any use to us. I bet it wont add anything new to the info we already got.
slider said:Speaking of PSN is anyone getting a message about re-agreeing to the ToS or something similar?
I get this....
To sign in, you must accept the Terms of Service / User Agreement and Privacy Policy again.
Euro account and I'm in the middle of something so can't check my US and Japan accounts.
Just wondering if there was any advertised change to the ToS?
yencid said:galvanise you should make a new thread on this.
use the picture as well.
netguy503 said:plus if they add the add on to that would be cool.
also you get the $25 dollar yearly Qore subscription in one month= that's basically $50 in the first month right there.
So this goes live next week, right?
MrPliskin said:I thought it went live tomorrow?
Galvanise_ said:Is it that much of a big deal? I mean that Playstation Plus stuff is going to be in the Playstation Plus TOS and TAC. I don't think it warrants a new thread.
Galvanise_ said:Well that explains the TOS renewal prompt for PSN access then.
MrPliskin said:Double checked: The Firmware Update goes live tomrrow, but the service doesn't start until a week after.
DMPrince said:So PlayStation+ isn't worth it. I'd just pay $20/year for Cross game chat.
Type 2 content which you will "no longer be able to access and use after your subscription period expres"
- PSN games
- PSOne games
- Minis
- "Premium game elements"

God, I understand this is a marketing guy, but can you be so clueless about the product you are selling?
Anyway, he seems very nervous/insecure during the whole interview.
Edit - Here is the 1st part of the interview (mostly PSP stuff)

Kogepan said:Seems PLUS is coming to Asia as well.
Price is $233 hkd (29.87 usd) for a year. Doesn't appear to be any initial signup bonus.
Free Game for June is : ZEN pinball and a Mini. Free Fat Princess avatars. Some other stuff as well.
No Qore as expected, since it wont be translated for the asian market.
DMPrince said:So there's a chance that US can buy PlayStation+ without Qore.
I mean it's $49.99 for US here because of Qore. I mean does anyone really want that shit thing? it was terrible since it's like offering free shit content just to watch lame interviews which we could get from other online media site. You get the occassional exclusive things like betas but you can also get that from other gaming sites.Crisis said:Not... Really. Not sure where you got that idea.

I think they should offer at least 2 type of PlayStation+. one with qore and one without. and make that one $29.99.
Carl said:Automatic download
- Can be activated by one account per PS3
- Provided the console is in standby and has an internet connection it will turn on "approximately every 48 hours" during a user-set time period - various firmware, patches, demos can be auto downloaded
- Firmware will not be installed until you yourself have accepted the T and Cs
- Game patches based on "games most recently played on your console"
- "There may be a limit on the number of auto downloaded game demos available per console at any one time"
- Once limit i reached, unaccessed demos could be deleted to make room
- Auto downloaded stuff which has not been accessed within one month may be auto deleted from the console
- Auto downloaded content "may not be downloaded" if there is less than 5GB of space, if the console is already on, or if firmware is out of date

Watch all the Ps1 games will be the lame sports title and Spec-Ops :lol.
Yeah but still. I have an issue about them picking my free games and content :\Kogepan said:well, the HK version isn't getting Wipeout HD or LBP free either. Game selection might not be as good too, since theres no mention of a guaranteed number of PSN/Mini/PS1 games each month....for example in July, the only free games will be 1 mini and 1 PS1 game.
androvsky said:Honestly, it's $49.99 in the U.S. because that's what Live's official price is. It was always going to be that price, no matter what they offered. They just have to hope they can add enough features so that people actually subscribe.
I'm betting Asia's cheaper because of the exchange rate and lack of pressure from Live. I'm actually a bit surprised they're not getting the premium version of Mainichi Isshyo (or whatever it's called now) instead of Qore. Maybe Japan is? Hopefully they can throw in the Gundam viewer app too.
