Playstation Plus

[J0e Musashi]

But wouldn't it be wise just to buy the something great outright instead of forking out on a sub just to get it for cheaper or free?

[Adam]

It wont be available to non members though will it?

[J0e Musashi]

There isn't any exclusive content from what I can gather, so you can buy anything.

[Adam]

# lus is an evolving service and the features included at launch will be:

* Games
* Discounts
* Exclusive items on PlayStation Store
* Full Game Trial
* Automatic Downloads
(More info on these below)

The 'Premium Game Element' ie addon content seems already part of the exclusive stuff

[J0e Musashi]

Exclusive items are going to be thing like avatars and such. They are not going to restrict any purchases of games etc.

Both the Premium Game Element stuff shown for the first two months has been available to buy for months now.

[Matt]

So you get to use the DLC and games throughout your subscription right? Not just for that month?

Seems good to me, shame I already own Wipeout.

[Neon Ignition]

After a read through it seems an alright scheme. I think I'm going to hold off for a bit though, like some have said they're initially too focused on using old releases as part of the scheme which is of no benefit to those who have already bought them. Seems to make more sense to hold off until they round to things that I don't own.

[Brad]

Actually, now I think about it I usually only play Downloadable games for the first month I have them anyway. Also, you never actually own anything physical and there's no way to guarantee how long you'll be able to play them if your system breaks etc. I'll monitor this with interest.

Now part of me hopes you can disable the + on your avatar. I might not want people to know that I've forked out monies for this!

[kernow]

Oh great they're going to push the ****e you see on the UK store weekly at you, \o/

[Number45]

Only people that are likely to pay for this. Which isn't you I'm sure.

[dvdmike]

If they say PSN plus access actually gets you some PS1 games I would go for it, but I hate PSN for the lack of content at the moment

[kernow]

Only people that are likely to pay for this. Which isn't you I'm sure.

Nah, I don't play online enough to warrant it, in fact I can't remember the last time I turned the triple on actually. Nothing to play on it right now.

[Number45]

You don't need to play online. In fact I think there's barely any content in there as far as online play goes is there?

[J0e Musashi]

Only the KZ2 map pack is.
