Any plus'ers with vanilla Fallout 3?

[JP]

That's really good, I've got the Game of The Year edition now but I'm still impressed with it. I may press the download button anyway as they'll still be listed in my previous downloads if I ever need them.

[vanpeebles]

Why on earth are they limiting trial demos of online shop games to playstation plus? I wanted to try that new Ferrari one but the trial is plus only. Do they want me to ****ing buy the game or not?

[Number45]

It's because it's a full game trial isn't it, not a demo? I think those are Plus exclusive, demos will usually find their way to the standard PSN.

[JP]

If the publisher doesn't produce a demo for a game then you're not going to be able to play a demo of it. With the PlayStation Plus Game Trials you actually trial the full game for a set period of time just as if you'd bought the game. With the Ferrari game I played it for just three hours before I bought it.

It's one of the perks that people get when they pay for that service, there's still exactly the same access to demos as there was before this service.

[vanpeebles]

It still sounds like a demo to me, and you still have to buy the full game after. Anyway they can keep it. Like I say if you want to sell it online let everyone try it.

[Number45]

The aim of the demo and full game trial are the same, but the mechanism for delivery is different and in the case of the latter is paid for I assume by the Plus subscription.

[vanpeebles]

It is any good then?

[JP]

Dynamic themes
Exclusive Winter Theme

Really digging this theme, probably the best one so far, changes depending on the time of day as well.

Also, whoops!

Sounds like a right cock-up. However, Eurogamer are, at times, the gaming equivalent of the Daily Mail so I'm not sure how much of that is their own sensationalist interpretation of the facts.

[Brad]

If I signed up to Playstation plus right now what would I get? I don't really understand what you get for your money in terms of free stuff and discounts but I want in on the DC Universe beta

[Family Fry]

If you goto Playstation Plus on the store, everything that is on there you would get this month including DC Universe Beta.

[Brad]

Thanks, so stuff that was listed in previous months, that's not available to me anymore?
