Ya, the "what have you done for me lately?" effect. I'm definitely guilty.

In case no one noticed, the scores for ZenPB2 are linked to your username, so you have only one high score whether you play PS3 or Vita or both.

Meaning, if you unlock the 2000 point trophy, the four game trophy and the team point trophy on one system, you just have to boot up and finish one game on the other system to get those trophies on both, if that matters to you.

PRO TIP...it seems that for now, you get much higher rank points for a lower high score on the original four pack since I guess people are not playing those as much right now? I satisfied my trophy requirements easily on the original four (Tesla, El Dorado, Shaman and V12)

Double Dragon is free from September through January so I don't think it'll be included in the offers this month. I think we could get something in addition to Scott Pilgrim still.

Either Zen Pinball 2 is not all that popular yet or the pro score is only slightly affected by the overall leaderboards. I'm not a pinball pro but I was getting pretty decent pro score on my tables (I got it just by playing the four original Marvel Pinball tables).

By the way, I also just got my PSN Play credit so check your inboxes.

I tried playing a couple of the pinball games we got for free so far with plus. I must REALLY blow hard at pinball or you guys are master pros. I couldnt get very far on any tables I tried. I guess I just suck and hate pinball...

Practice practice practice. Pinball isn't as easy as it looks. Just look at the rules for each table. Then try to follow them. I love real pinball lately. My friend recently got Comet, Freddy Nightmare on Elm St. , Data East Star Wars. Also he fixed a Funhouse machine for a friend so been able to enjoy that table too. I suck at real pinball but my friend is in a league that plays every week so he kills it all the time compared to my scores.

I suck at pinball in knowing how to mainipulate the ramps and so on, which is why I don't think I'll get many, if any, of the original Zen Pinball tables. I can keep the ball alive for a decent amount of time, but that's just hitting the flippers, not too hard.

My subscription just ran out last week. Is anyone running any deals or specials? Or are there any expected soon?

Thanks for sharing, I just got my credit as well. My PS+ sub has been out since the 1st and I've been waiting to get this credit ever since so I can renew. Now I can play some Marvel tables and hopefully get all these ZP2 trophies everyone is talking about.

Yeah, thats what I meant. I can hit the flippers and time that just fine, but getting points and hitting the right timing is something I just dont get. I also feel like I lose a lot of balls where they go behind the flippers and you have no chance to even hit it. I just dont have the patience to learn either. Ah well, at least I dont think Plus sucks because I suck at pinball!

LOL. For me being part German and living in the US I can't stand having the month first. I always have to remind myself when reading a date it's the month first.

Ya, logically day/month/year makes the most sense since it's shortest to longest. But I just look at the dates posted for that sale and imagine what on Earth the 19th month of the year would even be called haha.

The year/month/day format has always made the most sense to me since it's easiest to sort when the most significant digit is on the left. Sort of how like one-hundred is written as 100, and not 010 or 001. I'm probably in the vast minority on that one, though.

I just started playing Infamous 2 last week too. Now I gotta pony up $50 to play it again.
I am really enjoying plus, however. The discounts usually aren't that helpfull but the free games are a wonderful (although a time sink) bonus.

Oh, I don't know how to intentionally score points, I just hit the ball and hope it goes where it needs to go to get me my points.

I obtain little from Plus, but that's really just due to my life as I have no time to play the games I really want (and paid money for) let alone the free ones I get from Plus. As an example, I'm trying to finish Folklore which I bought when it was originally released.

Overall my three month subscription worked fine for me and I took full advantage of the FF sale but I haven't played any of the free games enough to even get a single trophy or make it past one level. I've held off on renewing though I would if there was any type of discount out there.

I play the same way. Those dude's that score 100's of millions of points are crazy.
