The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

EU PS+ games for June
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
ICO and Shadow of the Colossus HD
Demon’s Souls
Rayman Origins (Vita)
Coconut Dodge Revitalised

oh so if i get a ps3 for this i have to plan on finishing ico, shadow of the colossus, and fn demon's souls in one month? ya no

no, if you "purchase" the games during their free window, you can download them whenever you want

oh huh

As long as you maintain your subscription.

Velocity Ultra free as of today in the EU (on vita) btw. And Sine Mora popped up last week (but I've deleted that already because it's too hard for me).

that was my next question

june us ps+:

deus ex: human revolution
machinarium
saints row 3
zero escape: virtues last reward (vita)
gods eater burst (psp, vita)

ehhhh

i mean it would be less ehh if i didnt already own all 3 of the ps3 ones in different format, thinking machinarium might be nice on not aging mac i guess

i had a similar same reaction. but for anyone who hasn't played Deus Ex or Saints Row 3 it's a great month, tbf, they're both great

lol, i have discs for both that i've yet to crack
(btw, thanks for sr3 mordy)

i cancelled ps+, it just doesn't match up with my personal game acquisition/playing style at all

zero escape would be a crazy giveaway if anyone actually owned a vita.

that is true

year long games for PS+ have been announced

Leaving PS Plus in June:
12th June: LittleBigPlanet 2
12th June: inFamous 2
12th June: Motorstorm Apocalypse

Entering PS Plus in June:
12th June: Uncharted 3 Drake’s Deception (Single Player)
12th June: LittleBigPlanet Karting
12th June: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

XCOM is an awesome addition.
Nice that I don't have to buy Uncharted 3 anymore! Should get around to playing those.
Now I'm just waiting for Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale to inevitably show up.

zappi, are those US?

I have a Vita and I've almost bought this game a bazillion times, so ^_^

incoming games are same for EU & US btw

I guess they don't replace the year-long vita games until closer to Christmas?

But yeah, all three of those will definitely get played in our house.

bought a 12gb ps3 yesterday because i want to play heavy rain, the uncharteds, journey, and lbp. this might be a dumb question but seeing as the hdd is so small, am i going to be excluded from certain games, such as this upcoming 'the last of us' game which is reported to be 25gb big? surely they wouldn't sell a product without making this clear?

reason i ask is ive been downloading a few demos off psn, about 6gv of stuff in total and it's coming up with 'no storage left' error messages when i try to load one up. could be because my internet went down mid-download but dunno.

if i have to just play one game at a time, uninstall before playing the next, then that's fine but if i've paid £140 for a machine that won't play some of the upcoming main games out there then that's seriously fucked up

it's super easy to upgrade the hard drive, just pick up a larger internal laptop drive, pop open the PS3 and replace

cheers, just been reading about that, seems like it can be done for under £40 so may well do that. i pretty much just hammer one game at a time though so im hoping i won't have to, once i uninstall all these demos.

still curious about whether the last of us (or future big games) are simply not going to fit on a 'clean' 12gb model. massively out of order if so.

i got a 500 gig drive and it was an easy fix. the major hassle is transferring the olf files over.
I'd recommend doing it now so you get the most outta the system

get a bigger HD ASAP. and get a PSN+ sub

worth noting that you need double the hard disk space of whatever you are downloading, as it unpacks & installs and only then deletes the original download. hence the 'no storage left' error messages after downloading 6GB of stuff. Sony engineering at its finest.

im gona see how far i get with the basic hdd first. play most games on xbox and my pc so i literally only want the 5 or so ps exclusive games listed above, and im fairly happy to play one, or poss 2 if space allows, games at a time. im brand new to ps stuff and it seems mandatory installs of 6gb, like heavy rain & gran turismo 5, aren't the norm - uncharted 2 only asks for a 1gb install so i'm *hoping* i can get by with my teeny tiny hd. (while keeping a close eye on upcoming mega-game install sizes)

good to know that installing a bigger hd isn't a massive chore though, unlike with xboxes. thanks for the replies, guys

isn't that like... the laws of physics at their finest?

the unpacking thing IS unusual, compared to the way Xbox/Steam handle it these days

yeh, you can structure the files so stuff downloaded gets deleted during installation, not after. Uncharted 3 is 43.5 GB big, so you need 87GB of free space. seems like they've solved this for PS4 though, and they're touting you can start playing games even during installation. which is just as well cos those are going to be some large-ass downloads.

how is infamous 2? there was a prototype sequel as well right?

"So, we're not talking about when The Last Guardian is coming out, but it is still a game that there's a lot of love for inside PlayStation walls, because everybody sees how emotionally driven that the entire fan base of PlayStation always responds with when we talk about The Last Guardian," Rohde said in an interview on Tuesday. "That's something that's very important to all of us, but we're not announcing any details on it."

sucks

it's gonna get pushed to PS4, isn't it

thx to yesterdays update (xcom/uncharted 3/lbp karting/machinarium) basically my ps3 is going to chow on bandwidth until it catches on fire today while i am at work. btw xcom (at least for me) took FUCKING FOREVER to install.

I couldn't background download anything as of last night at 1:30 AM, it was super annoying

ha yes that was also a problem i was having, which led me to finding out that my ps3 was trying to download uncharted 3 twice.

So with PSN+ a requisite for ps4 online, is everyone going to join PSN+ now on some 6 free months deal, then start buying games for a non existent Vita in case they drop off the list, then oh shit, I just bought a Vita.

Then on the walk home, you realise Kaz Hirai just played you......

otm really but not until the price gets to 200 with a 6 month ps+ booster pack

Hahahaha hahahaha I just opened the ps3 home app for the first time what the fuck is this shitshow

i don't even wanna know

i am glad they made it easier to cancel out of it. i used to always open it instead of life with playstation and have to wait a few minutes to close it.

omg does home still exist, it must be even more like purgatory now

it's gonna get pushed to PS4, isn't it

if this didn't happen like 12-18 mths ago, someone deserves fired

no way that thing was ever making the PS3

Eurogamer: You've been asked this before and you'll be asked this again: what's going on with The Last Guardian? Jack Tretton said it's on hiatus. Has it been cancelled? Please be honest. Our readers want to know.

Jim Ryan: I don't believe it's been cancelled. Had it been cancelled, some sort of announcement would have been made. I think the watch-word is patience.

Eurogamer: PS4, is that another word?

Jim Ryan: A ha ha ha ha ha!

Eurogamer: It also begins with p!

Jim Ryan: Ha ha! PR: So does PS3.

Eurogamer: Ha ha. Fair enough.

"Ha ha".

this image supposedly leaked from the Russian PS website a couple of weeks ago & proved to be otm this month so we might have a good idea what's coming in August

Getting increasingly tempted with all this PS+ stuff. Is it totally crazy that it's even making me consider getting a Vita because why not; if I got PS+ anyway I'd be stupid not to get a Vita to take advantage of those 'free' games...

I think we're all in that boat
