no you cant, free games are essentially rentals.

I was driving up a rock in the Twisted Metal Demo and there is a glitch. As I was coming down from it, I could see through it. Like a straight line...can't really explain it.

Is there a point to this game? It's like Modern Warfare, meets Devil's Rejects, meets Motorstorm Apocalypse. Is the demo what will be on the disc?

I thought I'd be ULTRA-NOOB, but I am laughing my a** off as I am not the worst at this game! ...Unlike me in Gotham City Imposters(the controls are like skating on ice!...to me).

Frisky -

I know this is a psn thread, not a ps+ thread, but maybe the answer to this question should be put on the front of the OP. Just a thought.

in gotham city impostors maybe you actually have the roller skates gadget equipped? Or maybe you need to turn the sensitivity down because as I recall its up very high by default. The controls seem tight and responsive to me.

Have you never played Twisted Metal before? How old are you?

And THIS is why me and millions others don't see PS+ as a good value. Part of value is maintaining it once payments have ceased. PS+ is just a rental service. It works for some, but not for most.

It's about not being able to use it enough to pay $4.xx a month for it. For me, anyways.

I gave an odd analogy for that. I didn't know there are actual skates in the game, lol. What I was referring to are the aiming controls. They are super sensitive! Like a race car game I had to alter on my Touchpad because the car was sliding all over.

I will check the control settings for that game. Thanks!

Not to mention that there's no way for users to have any sort of input as to what goes on sale, whether it be for PS+ users or us regular old cheapasses rocking the free PSN. How many times have we seen discounts on the same frickin' games over and over? How about discounting some of those full downloadable games to what they SHOULD cost for digital copies? Or at least putting some of those $15-20 PSN games to $5-10 on a GOOD sale.

Most games PS+ gives away, I just play them till completion and move on. I haven't feel like any game that was given away for "free" on PS+ is worth replaying anyways. Besides you get 1 year to replay them until you need to renew. People pay for xbox live and get no free games yet they are happy with it.

This is where I'm coming from. Are you really going to want to play through Stacking or Marvel Pinball five years from now? Most people have here have a double or triple digit backlog.

they want to keep the games because they are hoarders,

if you regularly buy downloadable games (and i assume you do if you read this thread) i don't know how somebody could think ps pus isn't worth it

forget the free or rental games some of you absolutely "need" taking up space on your hard drive despite having zero desire to replay them

the discounts make it worth it

a lot of people around here mention the resident evil games, if you had plus you could've gotten 2 for the price of 1, 20 dollars saved

if you joined in november you got jurassic park for free (FOREVER) so that's $30 saved right there

those are just 2 out of countless examples of saving money with ps plus, the only way you lose money with ps plus is if you rarely buy downloadable games

I have a pretty sizable double digit backlog, but Marvel Pinball keeps me coming back nightly

So you're going to play it every day for the next five years? If that's the case, is paying an extra $9.99 after your Plus subscription lapses really that bad of a deal if you're playing it that much?

Exactly. I like Plus since it brings something new to the table for free each month. They might not all be winners, but it keeps me coming back to check out what's free or what's on sale often for 50% off.

Most of these games, free or paid, I don't continue to play a month after getting them. I have a backlog of retail games to work through and the PSN stuff is mostly for a quick change of pace in between disc games.

Also, I have a PS3 fat that is 3.5 years old And given that fact, I really appreciate the auto cloud saves each night in case I get the YLOD one day (still hoping that never happens to me I love my shiny PS3).

(Jigsaw voice) Let's play a game...

Who will be the first to redeem this person's 30 day trial of PS+? Under the Free Stuff, PS3 code drop thread.

Same here. And as long as PS+ keeps up its current quality level, I don't plan on letting my subscription lapse period.

If you've been negligent about grabbing your January PS+ content, you have until tomorrow to grab it before most of it is replaced with February's content.

I had no clue that the Cheapy awards were even live already, but it seems that I've been nominated for the Community award. If you've enjoyed this and the other threads I run, feel free to vote for me in the voting thread:
