Many of them yes, but there are plenty that aren't, more than enough to keep me happy with the service. Do you buy and play the majority of PS+ games and discounts offered? It doesn't take a whole lot to make up that $50 a year. Well, ~$30 for my first year and free for about the next 2+ years (thanks IGN!)

what's with the inquisition into my PS+ game preferences, off

A question about PS+. Mine had expired, and I just picked up the Journey Collection yesterday from Gamestop. It came with the 1 month trial, which I registered with my account. Now, can I add a 12 month subscription on top of that, or do I have to wait until the end of the trial to can it so that it won't charge me the 3 month add-on?

subscriptions always stack - buy your 12 month sub now so you won't get charged the 3-month add-on

you will now have 13 months of service

Machinarium is a point-and-click style adventure game, I believe. It seems like a lot of us in this thread (myself included) find games like those rather boring, no matter how finely polished they are.

Plus it's been in multiple Humble Bundles. So I'm sure a lot of people on here already got it for extremely cheap, and for a system that the game is better built for (i.e. you can actually "point" and "click" using a computer).

And as others have mentioned, here is the comment where Morgan says the PS3 will be getting another free game next week.

Is quantum conundrum move-compatible?
(Didn't find anything on the web about it. Wishful thinking, I guess)

I don't know how it works with trial subscriptions, but I have been able to stack annual subscriptions. There is painfully little info on the internet about subscriptions stacking, but a few websites (including official Sony sites) do say it can be done. Oddly enough, I have not been able to find anywhere that tells you a limit. I know Xbox Live has a 4 year stacking limit, but cannot find details for PS Plus. I'd love to know if anyone has an answer.

There's no Move support for the game.

How long does a deal usually stay around for?
I might get Persona 3 FES and sell my PS2 copy on Glyde or something.
Only ever got through campaign once but never really played FES...

I know subscriptions stack. I was wondering if I did stack the 12 month subscription if it would keep the auto-renewal of the trial from executing. Someone up above said it would, but I'm trying to make sure.

I'm pretty sure the auto renewal will only kick in when you current subscription is expiring (I would assume it charges the card when you have just a few days left prior to expiration). I did not have to do anything on mine to prevent it from charging my card since it just extended the expiration date of my subscription. Maybe the trials are different, but I don't see why they would work differently. You are basically just "buying" a one month subscription for free and then stacking something else on top of it.

It takes 5 seconds to turn off, what is the problem either way?

I know it can be troublesome if you don't know about it(even though they blatantly tell you)

The only reason why I ask was that the trial required me to enter in a credit card.

Last week, we revealed that Resident Evil 5 would be free for PS Plus members. Now we’re welcoming Quantum Conundrum into the Instant Game Collection.

This update’s content will be in effect with the November 13th PS Store Update. Don’t have PlayStation Plus? Go to the PlayStation Store on your PS3 or click here to get access. November 13th PlayStation Plus Update Quantum Conundrum Free for Plus Members Designed by Kim Swift (one of the original developers of the classic game Portal), Quantum Conundrum is an amazing first person puzzler which gives you the power to hop through different dimensions, manipulating the very physical traits of the world around you in real time on a quest to save your inventor Uncle, Professor Fitz Quadwrangle! Check out IGN’s video review of the game below to find out why Quantum Conundrum is super clever, a ton of fun, and definitely worth playing. Machinarium 30% off for PlayStation Plus Members (Regular price: $9.99, PS Plus Price: $6.99) If you haven’t had the chance to play through this adventure, now might be the time. Machinarium is a point-and-click game that immerses you in a remarkable world to solve puzzles and complete your journey.

Until then, I’ll see you in the comments!

Quantum Conundrum was the game I assumed would be announced for this week, so I was right on that. The wording on the hint last week ("puzzling new addition") is what tipped it off for me.

Next week seems to be the week for PS+ on Vita, which will be nice with it being a holiday week.

You think so? Morgan does make it sound like it's coming really soon, but he also specifically mentioned that we would be getting another PS3 game added to the IGC next week, to me it feels like he is explicitly stating that we won't get a Vita game next week.

I don't imagine we'd get both in the same week, but I could be wrong.

Reading all his comments gives me the impression he's an idiot. 1 post he implies it's next week and in another he implies it won't be next week and in another he talks about managing expectations. I think we all went in expecting the last week of November, so... who is REALLY surprised?

Not what he's concerned about. He thinks that if he adds a year to his subscription, the auto-renew will still trigger after his month trial and add another three months to his subscription. I don't know why he thinks this would happen though.

All the people who thinks "in November" means Nov. 1 and no other date.

I like Morgan a lot, but I do think he should be more consistent in his wording. Something like "PS+ for Vita is coming soon, at this point we're still on track for a November unveiling" and then use that same wording in all his comments.

And I wish more people were like you. I'd say the vast majority expected it the first week of November. It's much better to expect it the last week of November, and if we get it any earlier, than that's just a nice bonus. Alas, many don't feel that way.

also to be fair
[11/12/12 4:24:28 PM] Vic: Morgan should say the last day of November
[11/12/12 4:24:33 PM] Vic: then if it happens earlier
[11/12/12 4:24:35 PM] Vic: people are happy
[11/12/12 4:25:16 PM] Cam: true

Exactly what I said to my friend earlier.

Hmmm. I was criticized for saying the exact same thing in this very thread a few weeks ago. Oh well.

I already have Machinarium on the PC. I sometimes don't mind double dipping (Limbo, Braid), but I can't imagine playing Machinarium with a controller. QC looks like a nice treat, though!

Btw, how do I change "CAG Veteran"? I have plans to replace it with #1 Sony Hater.

I believe you need 500 posts, though I recall some saying you gain that power after 1 year.
