Just upgraded my PSP firmware for the first time in forever, for the free games.

And now I remember the days when a 4 GB memory stick was considered huge... looks like I have a lot of game-swapping ahead of me. I just wish the PSP games didn't clutter up my PS3 menu so much.

Throw all those PSP games into their own album.

That was my first thought too, but they are all bubbles (you know, how not-yet-installed games show up), and it doesn't seem to allow bubbles to be placed into albums. So now I have a bunch of bubbles between the game disc menu option and my downloaded game albums, heh.

Doh, I foresee having the same future problem.

I am being selective. It sometimes feels like cheap games just keep raining down from the sky. I still have Batman AC, Dance Central 3, Portal, Katherine, FFVIII and Suikoden which I got at ridiculously good prices. And now thanks to the GoD sale and this I have 3 Metal Gear games, Bioshock and now Wild Arms, Patapon and Patchwork Heroes. None of them are crap. Obviously not a bad problem to have, but can feel overwhelming.

Fortunately, the launch games for PS4 and the nex xbox are looking super bland so I think I'll have time to catch up.

I hope we get that $20 from the referral program within March. Would be nice to be able to spend it and get $10 back for every 50 spent.

Ditto

Not sure if anyone would be able to answer this, but do PS+ subscriptions expire at midnight on their last day? I have a 1-month code and I'm thinking of using it Tuesday morning to take advantage of a few of the vita PS+ discounts before the store gets updated.

Fast forward 30 days I think it lands on another Tuesday, so if the subscription runs out at 12 midnight, would I theoretically be able to take advantage of any new PS+ discounts announced for that upcoming week starting after the store updates?

I'm sure someone on here knows, but why wouldn't you just start it up Wednesday to save yourself the risk?

If your plus ends while you are playing a game will it kick you out of the game or just when you quit? My plus ends tomorrow and I want to finish bioshock 2.

Because I want to buy a few vita games from the current week's sale using the 50% PS+ discount. They should be good until Tuesday afternoon when PSN usually gets updated so I would activate PS+ and buy them on Tuesday morning.

Basically I'm just trying to increase my potential "weeks of deals" by 1 to maximize the chances of something I want coming up as a PS+ discount.

FYI, it says that Megaman X Maverick Hunter is only available for free for PlayStation Plus owners now. Damn it, I wanted some free Capcom love on my PSP Go!

Aren't the one month codes 30 days long?

and 4 weeks is 28 days.....so you should have a day before new deals and a day after new deals, right?

I'm guessing it kicks you out immediately. I got kicked out of Ratchet and Clank All 4 One in the middle of a game (it warned me that content was about to expire first) erroneously. My plus wasn't up, and I had played it for several hours already so I know it wasn't the one hour demo thing. Next day I turned it back on and it worked fine. It was very weird.

Check the information for a PS+ game and it'll tell you the specific time of the day that your sub ends. It should end at the same time that you start it.

Whats wierd about plus it the expire datetime is set on the game when you download it its not a system wide setting so say download a game and plus it set to expire next week then you add a year of plus games you all ready downloaded will still expire next week. If you redownload (via history) them the date is reset . Kinda stupid if you ask me should be a system wide setting.

Whats all so weird is when you add a session of plus it MOVEs all the plus downloaded titles up in you download history to the new subscribe date.

Now? It's always been Plus only. That's how free games work, aside from these:

PSP - Check This Thread For Vita Compatibility Details
Patapon - Free - Available Only On Vita or PSP's PS Store *
Patchwork Heroes - Free - Available Only On Vita or PSP's PS Store *
Piyotama - Free - Available Only On Vita or PSP's PS Store *
Wild Arms

How do you expect Sony to resolve it? You got to download something / patch something and it's impossible for them to know what, if anything you still have on the harddrive.

All that stuff is tied to plus, so rebuying counts as buying that stuff again. Though I always found it odd that they get listed in a new order.

I was just trying to explain to backlash how it worked. I dont know how sony would fix it. Maybe a licence update tool or a check psn for new plus date on launch if conneted? Its just a wierd design and you cant rebuy they stuff again for free cause some is no longer free you have to go to your download history.
