The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

i'd rather have it for free! speaking of which i haven't fired JSR up yet ...

my roommate will probably never let me see my ps3 or tv again, now that ni no kuni is out

you can finally buy PSN games through a webpage:
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/home/main
weird that it has a loading screen but eh - this'll help with the impulse buys

Cool, so those PS+ games I queue up every month but never get around to installing or playing, now I can queue them up without even plugging in the PS3!

haha yes, exactly

man oh man do i love ni no kuni

i am fighting a djinn who is equipped with an umbrella, and he keeps kicking my adorable li'l butt

shut up soda i have to wait another week :((((

think i'm gonna buy the game and the strategy guide

EU PS+ update
6th February: Sleeping Dogs
6th February: Quantum Conundrum
6th February: F1 Race Stars
13th February: WipEout 2048
20th February: Lumines Electronic Symphony

fuck yeh!

whoah, Sleeping Dogs and Lumines, nice

hrmmmm. wonder what us gets.

Ace, Quantum Conundrum is meant to be a fun time too, it's by the Portal people isn't it?

Hey I've got a PS+ question - I don't have a vita. But the PSN store seems to let me add the vita games under PS+ to my basket and check them out. Is that going to be enough for me to have them all still be available if I do pick up a vita in the future? Or do I need to have initiated a download to an actual console too?

once you've checked them out they will always be accessible via yr download history, no need to download. i just go to the webstore (now available in US) and "buy" everything PS+ when it comes available, much quicker than using the PS3.

That's great!

i played the first hour of QC, it's OK so far but aside from the nice surprise of having Q from Star Trek narrate the game, there's nothing particularly wowing

xp yeah, i'm downloading all those Vita games in the unlikelihood that i'll pick one up at some point

US PS+ this week is ninja gaiden sigma... for vita? ugh.

last week was free FOOSBALL
i am not trying to be a fanboy here but come the fuck on

so whats the deal with PSN+

do you get to keep all the games u get if you stop it

what about the discounted games u get

u keep discounted games
u lose access to all the free ones once you discontinue use.

and do you get good freebies?

Mostly A list (but not usually triple A) stuff from maybe 9 to 12 months ago? Sometimes longer. So yeah, pretty good. Recently in the UK we've had the likes of Arkham City, Bulletstorm, Crysis 2, Red Dead Redemption, Borderlands 1.

Basically thanks to PS+, my massive Steam backlog, and my increasingly limited gaming time, I'm planning to buy NO NEW RELEASES for the whole of 2013. We'll have to see how that goes though, resisting GTAV is going to be a a struggle for sure.

American ps+ games (and this is pretty universally agreed upon) are not as good as UK. Still worth it honestly.

when i heard about the Sigma for Vita I was actually like "phew!" since i just bought it used for PS3

this is gonna sound kinda weird but... how do i buy it??

PS+? from the PSN store on your Vita, PS3 or the new webstore https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com
think they are doing 15 months for price of 12 in US atm

i tried looking for it on the PSN store on my PS3 and i couldnt find it

that's odd, there's usually enormous banners for it! says Instant Game Collection in big letters

kk never mind

my heart is ready

should we... start a thread

is that an announcement of an announcement

mad curious now though. YOU WIN THIS TIME SONY

Ni No Kuni is absolutely fucking gorgeous! also very easy.

what i've been hearing is that it's very nice, very pretty but ultimately so-so game

yeh, about 5 hours in and it feels like that's the way it's heading - beautiful, well made, but a JRPG for beginners. which is ok. i really want a DQ that looks like this, and Level-5 developed VIII and IX, so ...

There's a Ni No Kuni Thread:

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - Studio Ghibli meets Level 5

EU PS+ games for March
PS3 - Mass Effect 3, Dead or Alive 5, Joe Danger 2
Vita - Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Puddle

damn, sony loves you guys

yeh, why buy a retail game ever again?

Oh man, this is going to be the first time I've ever played a Dead Or Alive game.

the sad thing about DoA back in the day was that it was a decent fighting game that was completely overshadowed by the wholly unnecessary boob physics

hmmmmmmm... i don't know about that

boob physics never WHOLLY unnecessary imo u sexist

they are unnecessary when the boobs start to resemble a weird hybrid of water and JELL-O

that is when they are MOST necessary, reclaim the boob physics for science

but i appreciate your proper capitalization brand usage of JELL-O
Kudos™

Actually I was implying that DoA was never a decent game ;)

PSN store is doing a "Spend $50, get $10 back" deal from tonight through to the end of March

Nice deal to stack with the "Buy 12 months of PS+, get 3 months free" deal which runs through March 4th

You need an extra cent to get to $50, but since we'll probably see the Gamer's Choice deals run, I'm sure I'll pick up something like Journey, Persona, Skullgirls, etc. depending on what games win

i think i am getting myself one of these - so playstation plus gets you random free games every month? and i can keep them?
