It's there yes but is it still free for psn+?

I can find the content too but it shows a regular price, not the FREE psn+ label.

Edit: nvm you said it is free in your end. Hmm. I'm calling Sony in the morning. I already own Wipeout and found that by search and it says free for psn+ still.

It's only age of zombies, rally cross ps1, and the warhawk dlc that aren't free anymore.

Huh...yea that's really strange.

Are you in North America?

Maybe it's showing up free for people who already downloaded it.

Only 4 weeks of content stays up on PSN+. The 5th week (start of 2nd month) comes on and the 1st week stuff gets removed. The problem with this however is that the tiki games stuff and other stuff from week one are still there. So there is a mix up here.

Sorry, I'm so confused. :lol

I just emailed Sony. Will call them in the morning.

When does the new PSN+ content go up for Europe? I swear it's been a month now, hoping there will be some sweet discounts next month.

You serious? The first of August isn't even until Sunday people. Geez.:lol

So NA should get the update on Tuesday (just in time for them to give us a discount on Earthworm Jim HD) and Europe should get it on Wednesday.

Did you sign up for PS+? If so, did you browse all games by first letter of name and find the listing for WipeOut HD?

As I posted ... and you quoted ... it showed the PS+ logo as of last night. Let me check right now.

Still showing as free this very moment.

Games -> View All Games -> T-Z -> WipeOut HD
Click to expand...
Yes I signed up, and I got all that I wanted. Except for Wipeout HD, which IS showing up as $20 for me. I think I found the game 2 or 3 different ways, one of them by typing into the search.

I did do Games --> PS3 Games --> T-Z though, so I guess I'll try again when I get home. Seems weird though.

Just an update.

Utterly fucking retarded. For some reason, I find out after chatting with some reps that Wipeout HD was only going to be free for the first-month thing until 7/27. Of course, I go ahead and buy PSN+ on the 28th, so it looks like I got boned over. Ugh.

Makes no sense either, since the new monthly content goes over on 8/2. BS.

Just downloaded Critter Crunch and checked the info tab. Since I downloaded the trial version a long time ago all I downloaded for plus was an unlock key.

Along with WipeoutHD, I don't seem to have an expiration date for them since I had previously downloaded the trial.

The lack of transparency on key information on things like this, and other key information regarding PSN+, is utterly incomprehensible.

I don't know about Critter Crunch but Wipeout HD is listed under Account Management->View Services and it has an expiration date.

That's terrible! I finally got my funds today but apparently I'm slightly too late. Grr!

I really wanted Rally Cross as well. I wish Sony had been more clear about this. :(

For me, the memories of it were much better than playing it again, after all this time. The game's just so bad. Wow... :lol

But this is the case with almost every game I loved back in the PS One era. Recently, I checked out some footage of Die Hard Trilogy on YouTube. I was speechless. In my mind, the game looked, sounded and played much better.
So, I decided to never look back again and just play new games (well, except for the old Sonic games of course), so I can remember those classics like I experienced them when I was a kid.

Man it was the first game I ever played where you could destroy cars and they actually had a damage model!

Yes now it looks pretty bad, and the gameplay..... Youch. But it is free :D

You get 15 months for the price of 12. I'm not sure when that ends though. Today might just be the last day. I believe it was only for NA users though.

(Was the 3 month trial $20? It almost seems like a waste with the 15 months being only $50.)

Yeah, it was $20.

Definitely a better deal to pay $50, and I probably will next time. But I wanted to see what kind of stuff we'd be getting over the next few months before dropping another $30. And I thought I was getting Wipeout :/

Wipeout HD was pulled from PSN+ the 2nd week i think but still wtf did you wait till the last day? Even if it wasnt pull on that week, PSN+ stuff was updated last week so you would of been screwed either way :lol

BTW it seems PSN+ members will get more % discounts on the current sale based on this reply on the PSblog:

Ro Hernandez | August 2nd, 2010 at 2:29 pm

PS+ subscribers will see an additional discount on Wakeboarding HD.

I waited because I didn't have the money until this weekend plus I already own Wipeout

so far my waiting until the last day to get the 15 month deal only seems to have made me miss out on getting the Fat Princess DLC for half off otherwise everything seems to still be up (besides Wipeout)

edit: and free Age of Zombies :-(

Excellent stuff (for me, at least) for the next two months. I owned 80% of July, but I own none of the free stuff for August/Sept.

And I like the sound of surprise treats. :D

Does the content posted on the EU blog have any bearing on what we can expect for NA? From what I recall, the plus content was basically the same between EU and NA last month or did NA get everything EU did but perhaps more stuff on top of that?

Very interested in Sam and Max, not too interested in August from the looks of it as I already own zen pinball and even the discounted table.

I'm jumping aboard in September. I usually get given a ton of PSN vouchers so I'll join PS+. It looks like over the year I'll get some great content the way things are working out.

They'll have to start releasing more PSN games, otherwise PSN+ will catch up to them!

Red Faction Guerrilla downloadable in August, huh? Good to see that Sony's got third parties on board, but I'm disappointed that we still aren't getting LBP as a download.

Can't wait for Zen Pinball.

Glad Sam & Max will be mine. I never played the franchise and I don't understand the hype around it.

Btw, I have a question: I won't be able to log myself on my system during september, will I loose the PSN + content ? Or can I grab it online (via the PC store ?) and link it to my PSN account, so I just have to download it from my DL list when I'll be back in october ?

It will, it's just saying it won't be free if you haven't downloaded it yet so do it now (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
