No, you'd need EU PSN cards to subscribe to EU PS+.

Geez. I didn't realize that the EU PS+ got Arkham City this month. That right there is almost enough for me to go with the EU PS+. However, I'm wondering how much of a hassle it is to have multiple PSN IDs for different regions. In the end, I may just stick with the US PS+ because I still like what's being offered there as well. I don't have time to play a whole lot of retail games, so I like the idea of being able to have access to a lot of different PSN titles.

Edit: Misread this the first time. Makes it easier for me to go with the US PS+ instead.

Having multiple IDs is not a problem. I currently have a US, EU, and JP PSN IDs on my system but alll the games I play on my US account for the trophies. I also have both US PS+ and EU PS+, and have had no problems.

OK, so you can use your other regional IDs to get content from other regions, but you don't have to be signed in to them to play the games that you download the system? If that's the case, then I'm definitely going to get the EU PS+ sub instead. Also, just for clarification, I can use the redemption code for an annual PS+ sub that was purchased in the US to get an EU PS+ subscription, correct? All I would have to do is sign in under my EU PSN ID and enter the redemption code, right? Thanks again.

Edit: I just read the post that said that you need EU PSN cards to purchase an EU PS+ sub. That kind of spoils it for me since I want to use a GS giftcard to get my PS+ sub. I guess I'll be getting the US PS+ instead.

Just a question, the DIGITAL copy of PSASBR for PS3 on sale for $40 will give me the Vita version as well?

I see in the OP that it has the cross buy star, but when I go to buy it, I don't see any info about this in the Store. Just want to make sure before I commit. Anyone do this already?

(and thanks Frisky for all the hard work)

No you would need a code from the UK. Or you can find a CAG that can help you by using Paypal to fund the account for you, this is what I did.

If you want to know a CAG that can help PM me and I will send you his name.

Now is also the best time to get EU PS+ because I believe it is still 10% off, so the final price is close to what US + costs.

I didn't buy the digital version, but if you buy the digital version of the PS3 version of PSASBR, it will give you the Vita version as well (the converse is NOT the case).

Proof seen here

Available on both PS3 and PS Vita (digital and retail), PlayStation All-Stars takes full advantage of the interconnectivity between the two platforms via Cross Play, allowing players to battle it out against one another on either device. Owners of both a PS3 and PS Vita can even transfer their saves from one machine to the other, allowing PlayStation All-Stars to be played wherever the fans want to play it. And best of all, if you purchase the PS3 version of the game, you get the PS Vita version at no extra cost! There’s no reason not to take advantage of such a great deal. As a friendly reminder, in order to redeem your digital PS Vita copy form the PS3 on-disc benefit, you’ll need to ensure your PS3 system is updated to the latest firmware, version 4.31.

Not that much value. The games they give you are usually garbage that has been discounted numerous times in the past and/or you would never play. Most of the games they give out fighting games or side scroller beat em ups, so only get it if you like those genres.

Personally I would get more value out of $50 by just buying games that I want than having a PS+ sub.

Yes, it's been confirmed in that other thread.

Yes I would recommend getting a EU subscription. They get way better games, better deals, and better everything. SCEA is an embarrassment compared to SCEE.

There is a Cross Buy section in the PS Store and I'm 100% sure that the PS3 version of All Stars is in it. Verified by me looking at it in the PS Store on the PS3 as I post this.

If you're a gamer that enjoys all kinds of games and/or have both a PS3 & Vita, then Plus is a no brainer. You get a lot of different kinds of games for both systems for one cost.
You also get a good selection of discounts. You can also find deals on the sub..I got mine for $35 from BBY.

Taking all that into consideration, it is worthwhile to me because of my gaming tastes.

Thanks to everyone for the answers about the PSASBR. I'm glad I got a PSN $50 card instead of the actual disc game since I think this would be a better quick load digital type game.

When I go to the ps store on my Vita Metal Gear Solid 3 HD is not on sale for 7.34 it is 19.99. I thought it was on sale? I am PS+ member.

I'm not positive but I don't believe you can. I think EU and US each have their own codes. Also that blog doesn't mention the latest games. US got Bioshock 2, Super Street Fighter IV: AE, and Rochard I think it was. EU got Batman Arkham City, Limbo, and Vanquish. EU wins again imo. That blog list is also missing Crysis 2 which was given away free for PS+ (EU only, although it was a couple months ago and is no longer free).

Either way get whatever you're getting soon since the month is almost up.

The fact that super moves are the only way to score points/win made me feel like everything I was doing besides super moves were inconsequential.

Yeah my brother in law picked up a copy today at GS and I feel exactly the same way after playing it. I actually told him after a few hours of playing that there should be a life bar of some sort because certain characters have pretty weak supers. He got a gutted copy so maybe that would make it easier to return if he doesn't like it all that much, blessing in disguise?
