Yes but BUT BUT BUT

Thats fine, Ill just keep buying stuff from the US psn store which saves me about 20 euro's on a full game compared to retail.

Compared to digital I save even more.

Jetset I didnt even think of that. LOL.

So now Im forced to purchase it full price lulz.
 
Expected. PS+ version is a big demo after all ;)



$50

Glad I dumped the physical edition and went digital for this instead. Comes with a $10 discount. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a season pass bundle as well. Weird that you actually have to play the PS+ edition of the game to get the discount. Just give me the discount up front.

UK price for upgrade is bullshit. I'm still going to try the PS+ edition, but I'm going to end up buying physical if I like it considering I could probably find it at the same price or cheaper than £43. Extra incentive to get that steel book, too.

People will still complain.
People already are. The last PS+ IGC announcement thread was a pure embarrassment.

I'm interested to know what happens if someone in my club only has the PS+ version and I unlock a car that's not in it, they said that whatever one person in the club gets you all get.
I thought it was just points that you help contribute to your crew, not cars. Might be wrong though.
 
How long will it be available? I canceled my EU Plus subscription (expires on January) so I can switch to US subscription when they go on sale on Black Friday. Hoping for it to still be available then so I can get the $50 upgrade.
 
Not exactly, we knew that we were getting a PS plus addition, they're just saying that it won't be one of the two PS4 games for the month, it'l be a third additional game.
Yeah I don't recall this ever being known before.

It is something I was wanting to know, because if it was in general rotation then technically speaking EU would have had it on the 1st October because that's when the PS+ update is due, though for US wouldn't have mattered as their update is due on the 7th anyway.

With it being in addition to I guess they can get around the need to stick to the update schedule.

Sony wins again.

I have 3 PSN accounts because I moved countries :(

Also the codes for unlockables that come with games don't work cross region. I got Destiny in the states and can't unlock anything here.
 
Sounds good. They backed off from the "if you buy it with the PS+ discounts, you lose it if you drop PS+" crap, too, right?

Still hesitant on Driveclub; I'm not buying a new wheel for the PS4, so if there's no Logitech support then it's still probably no deal. But still worth the demo, at least.

I bought Destiny on the US PSN. What can't you unlock?

You can still save $5 by buying a month of PS+ on the US store and then buying the upgrade. That's my plan.

Does anyone know if I use the free 1 month ps+ trial with destiny whether I can still use the 14 day free trial that is on the ps store? Should I use 14 day one first and the the destiny one or does it not matter?

IIRC, the 14 day offer is only if you haven't used PSN+ before.
So use the 14 days first, then the month you got with Destiny.

Hmmm that's an interesting gamble, I'm almost certain that if you use the 30 day one you won't be able to use the 14 day one. But unsure of the other way around. If you're in the EU though and have had + before then you won't be able to use either of them.
 
people calling it a demo...have not really played demos, have they...

Have they detailed exactly what's in it? Last I heard was when they downgraded it from 'you can get the Platinum Trophy' to something that pretty much sounded like a demo to me, but I admit I haven't really looked into it.

Good news. It's disappointing they scaled back on the promised content, but at least this way it's not taking away from getting a full game.

So I take it next month we should be getting the PS+ version of Driveclub and two other PS4 titles as part of that months PS+ offering, that's good to hear...

Theres going to be a physical version right?
Yes, the game is getting a physical release as well as a digital release.

Thanks! I'll try 14 day first then.

"demo" has gotten hilariously expansive since real demos have all but died on console. I played the Sonic Lost World demo, it is one level, which takes like 2 minutes if you don't screw around. This is why I stopped bothering with demos early on with the PS3, they're usually awful. I wonder if people just forget, or if they just like whining.

It's something like 20% of the full game (if not even less), isn't it? That's a demo. It's a big demo nowadays, but it's still a demo.

Sort of harkens back to the old Shareware days where the demo got you 1/6 to 1/3 of the full game, up to the point where you're actually paying for it.

That's not true

I didn't know about it before I read this to be honest. If it's old news please close the thread @mods.

It's old, but has't been discussed here. A lot of people aren't aware of it (I keep seeing it pop up on DC threads), so it's good we have a dedicated thread.
