This is how I feel when new games come to PS Plus and I add them to my cart:

Yeah, that's about right.

I only just subscribed to PS+ last night, and I know next to nothing about how the free stuff cycles. I have figured out there's a rotation, with x number of games available at any given time. When does the list update?

It has already just about paid for itself after just one day, though... the one-year subscription is $50, and I downloaded LBP Karting last night, which is a $40 game. Cwazy.

Download speeds for me appeared to fluctuate quite a bit. It was downloading slow as molasses at first, so I went and did something else. Came back in about half an hour and it was done, 8GB of content.

I am wondering about my HDD space, too. I have a 120GB stock hard drive (Slim 1), and it's showing only about 25GB free out of 111GB total. So you're talking at least 50-60GB of crap, but I only have maybe 10-20GB worth of games installed. So WTF? Would the game data cache really take up that much space (I haven't tried clearing it yet).

 

[Strange in Stereo]

Yeah, Munch is a tricky plat. There's one or two whole playthrough long trophies that are incredibly easy to screw up without noticing, and even one that can glitch on you and hasn't been patched last I checked.

Thanks! And that sounds terrible. Hopefully the game isn't too long.

Oh boy a FPS

Much better than another fighting game am I right.

Kind of off topic but do we know if PS4 will allow you to add less than $5 to your wallet (for remainder funds)? Or if this option is already available on Vita...

I want to buy Batman but I already have $2.50 on my account, call me a cheapo but I'd rather just pay the remainder than adding $5

I have 60 gig fat. I want to get UC3 from plus. The dl is 29 gigs total using what is needed to play? Is it possible to clear like 45 gigs and dl each piece and install separately? Would that work? If possible, is there an order to use?

@ Massa, so my theory is sound? I would dl one part at a time and install?

Uncharted 3 is actually divided into 3 pieces already, so you'll be able to install it on your HD. You need the free to play multiplayer (a 4GB game, that's the launcher for the campaign as well), a 10GB single player add-on, and another 10GB file that contains either 2D or 3D movies.

Quick question. I have a BF3 Premium Edition disc, naturally it came with the Premium Code and all, I suppose the PS+ version will have no problem detecting all the DLC, right? I can sell it for a decent price and go with the Plus version.

 

[Vicetrailia]

I've overlooked every Saints Row game...now I'm finally playing one.

Wish I was around to get Deus Ex (1st day PS+ Subscriber)

Correct. Your save and DLC will be included. But you need to download a 2 gig patch and have 24 gigs just to install the digital file. Frankly, it's far better to just keep the disc and go that route. The 24 gig download took me 12 hours to download off PSN and the 2 gig patch failed 2-3 times. Not worth that hassle.

 

[bebop242]

I also had a problem similar to you. The night before I downloaded the trial to "pre-load" since I figured it was the full game, and would be unlocked once I purchased the full version the next day. Download finished and I installed it.

However, I got busy and never found the time to actually run it (so I never got the patch of course).

The next day it is free on PSN so I go to the page to "purchase" it. It won't let me purchase the full game because I "already own it," yet it does not show up as purchased, nor in my purchase or download histories. Only the "Timed Trial" shows up in my download history. There is no record of the full version being purchased.

I tried deleting the "trial" version off of my hard drive and redownloading the full version from the PSN store on the PS3. The full version was available for me to download. Awful waste of bandwidth, but I thought it might somehow cause the full version to register on my account.

Now I have the full version on my hard drive, and yet it still won't show up in my transactions or my download history. It still only lists the trial version.

I am worried that once the game deal expires on PSN, it will stick me back with the trial version since it seems to have no record of me "buying" the full version.

I did email support about it yesterday, no reply yet.

Mine shows up in my Download list. Twice actually, one on July 2nd, presumably the one hour trial and a second on July 3rd presumably the plus version.

Its just weird to me because I never actually "bought" it.

Hope you can get yours sorted.

I know this is heresy and all around here, but ... played for a bit in Deus Ex HR and not feeling it. :| Not sure what to say. May give it a try in a week or two.

Also the God of War Challenge of the Gods is ridiculously unfair. Leaping across the moving platforms and getting randomly hit by some arrow. Screw that. I nearly threw a controller and I never get upset at games.

I guess that will be one platinum I'll never have.

I had a similar feeling when I first started the game, but, once I began to get a bunch of upgrades I was having considerably more fun with the game. I think it's a shame they handicap you so much early on to be honest, I am probably about halfway through the game currently and not having to worry about my hacking skill being to low (or insta-detection), being able to see through walls, having super fast rechargable energy + multiple energy bars, etc. goes a long way to making it fun.

Basically I think they set the bar too low at the start of the game, where my character power is now should have been close to the start of the game imo, you are just really weak at the start and it sucks.

Try checking your Game Data folder. Often times games will have additional installations after putting your disk in, or large updates, that take up several gigabytes of space. Clear out whatever you don't need, but bear in mind that you'll need to reinstall whatever you delete, should you choose to play the games again.

I thought it was around 12 GB?

Ugh. Well, I'm keeping the disc then. :/ Much appreciated.

search for "Unit" in the store ... there's two versions. Try the second one

 

[KOHIPEET]

I want to download BF3, which is 13 gb in size, according to PS store. I have 22 gigs of free space but store continues to say:

"You have not enough space on system storage"

Can anyone help me with this, it would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Pikma]

I'm really enjoying SR The 3rd's humor, the gameplay though... is a whole different story, ugh. Or maybe Sleeping Chiens really killed my open-world appetite, I don't know, I just didn't like it.

It's because you also need space to install the game.

 

[KOHIPEET]

Ohh, now I see.

So technically I need the double of 13 gigs, right?

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Why can't I download this game? I've got the hard disk space!

You need twice the game's size to download and install it. So if the game is 10GB, then you need 20GB on your hard drive to hold both the 10GB installer and the 10GB installed version.​

In the OP, as mentioned, all games require double the space to install, bit of a pain for those on the smaller units, but most people have upgraded now.

Yup, my good old 60's phat can be painful sometimes.

 

[DieH@rd]

I also cant get Unit 13

 

[archnemesis]

I was able to add it to my download list yesterday but now I'm getting the same error for Unit 13.

 

[anddo0]

Did you sync the list to show up for online?

Yeah, it didn't work.

No biggie. I'm not about to re-download it or anything.

 

[DigitalRicket]

So not sure if Demon's Souls did get a $5 discount last month, but noticed Arkham Aslyum is only $5 this month so yeah, I just had to snap that up for my wife who hadn't played it yet.

Ow that sucks...hmm anyone know if someone with a Fatty 60 GB PS3, was able to run the PS2 disc ver.?

 

[Lexxism]

Hi guys. I'm planning to be a PS+ user when the PS4 comes out this Q4. I have a question regarding PSN. Since PS3 don't have any PS2 games(or maybe some), will the PS4 have it? I'm not quite updated but did Sony say anything on this?

 

[jsnepo]

You guys think there is a possibility that old featured games for IGC will come back like Resident Evil 5, Demon's Souls, etc?

Do you know if you get the code instantly after buying? Or do you have to wait for it to ship?

Pro tip: the campaign is a gimmick.

The multiplayer is the core game, which is really fun and addictive.

Yes, I believe you can do an exact amount with your remaining funds.

That game is all about the MP duder.

Battlefield should be thought of as a strictly multiplayer game.

Pretty sure the least amount you can add at a time is 5 bucks. It stinks but I understand with the cost to taking credit card payments. I have about a dollar in my wallet and will have to add another 5 to be able to purchase Alice next week for 4 bucks.

I only ever got the game on PC/PS3 (via PS+ admittedly) for the MP. Single Player was just a novelty to see HOW BAD it could get.

Going by the first 10 minutes it's almost like I'm playing a parody of the modern cinematic game design. Hyper linear, control wrested on a whim, QTEs pouring out of every orifice. Multiplayer on the other hand is the hypothetical TF2 we were initially promised but never got... though I guess that applies to the entire Battlefield series, so I guess it's alternate reality TF4 instead.

EDIT: And the objective based FPS thread reminded me: the biggest disappointment about the campaign to me is that they didn't try to smartly adapt its gameplay to a SP model. Not just offline versions, but perhaps making a more intricate objective based design for SP play, with vehicles and stuff too. Instead we don't know what to do for SP SO LET'S MAKE THE SHITTIEST COD CLONE WE CAN.

While looking at US PSN store online this banner was on the side... Batman Arkham City is /was PS PLUS ?

[mullet2000]

Finally got around to starting downloading a bunch of my PS+ stuff.

Are Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One and LittleBigPlanet Karting even worth playing? I've heard not so great things about both.

Also downloading The Cave and Closure, but i'm not to worried about them, apparently they're pretty good?
