And that´s why i pay for both ps+ (eu and us). Even paying that "large" sum of money its still a good deal. And you can make a deal with a friend or something (one buy the us plus and the other the eu).

PSN games purchased on one account on a PS3 (including ones from other regions) can be played on any account on that PS3. Set up a second user account with a European PSN login and then run the downloaded games under your main user account with your American PSN login.

ShockandAww · Jan 28, 2013

[quote name='WNYX585AM']How do you have both? Do you have seperate accounts with seperate gamertags?[/QUOTE]
Yes, one for US another for EU.

I was reading the EU version of Sleeping Dogs is missing most of the finishers or finishing moves compared to the US release? I dont know what I'm talking about since I've never played it but maybe that's some consolation. Or maybe not.

eballarini · Jan 28, 2013

[quote name='WNYX585AM']How do you have both? Do you have seperate accounts with seperate gamertags?[/QUOTE]

1. I do have separate gamertags
2. My US account was first activated on my main ps3, then i bought the EU + account on another ps3.
3. Then i created an user only for the EU account on my main ps3 and activated the acc for that console.

Nowadays it´s an extremely rare moment when i buy a game

tylerh1701 · Jan 28, 2013

[quote name='breakfuss']*cue* SCEA defense brigade[/QUOTE]

As an SCEA defender, I will say that EU is getting a hell of a month, and it's the first time I'm tempted to actually get an EU account as well*. I'd love Sleeping Dogs, though I suspect we won't be getting it here in the US. I'd also love that F1 Racing game they're getting and Lumines, which I think we have a better shot of actually getting. They are getting 4 retail games this month, which is really impressive considering we usually only get 1 here in the US.

The thing to keep in mind is that it's not really fair to compare what EU gets with what we get until nearer to the end of the month.

Also I encourage anyone unhappy with US PS+ please contact Sony and let them know in a respectful manner. handsomepete also started a thread where US vs. EU PS+ discussion is welcome, so if we can keep it to a minimum in this thread I think that would be very much appreciated by all (I know it would be by me).

I personally think EU is getting a lot better stuff than US is. But the reason I (and others) defend US PS+ is because the US PS+ is still a great deal, and I'm just tired of people badmouthing this great deal. That is all I'm going to say on this topic in this thread.

*There's nothing wrong with subscribing to both US and EU PS+, but the people who are doing it are really killing any chance of us ever getting parity between the two regions. If Sony can rope in another $50-$60 from US users who think both regions are worth it, they're definitely gonna keep them fairly different.

eballarini · Jan 28, 2013

US is probably never getting Sleeping Dogs. The SCEE and Square Enix has a long and well established partnership.

Fresh8142 · Jan 28, 2013

Wow that's on hell of a month of PS+ for the EU!

Now I expect to be really disappointed by SCEA PS+ announcement. I always hope for something good but then we get chronovolt or foosball instead

Is there any way to make this work for Vita? I assume not since there's no way to log into different PSN IDs on the Vita.

Also, how do you pay for EU PS+ when it's in other currencies? Can that just be done through Paypal? (sorry, I'm a noob at this)

I just noticed that their going to have PS+ EU on sale for £7.99/€9.99 for the 3-month subscription, so it may be the perfect time to check out PS+ EU for three months.

EDIT: Found my answers. Thanks.

GT · Jan 28, 2013

My guess is US+ gets Motorstorm Apocalypse, it's in line with the pattern of really old stuff that EU has had for over a year. Sleeping dogs wouldn't happen. For me, if they try to give content of value equal to plus, I would want Dishonored, if they give that in the next 1-2 months, I'll take back all ill feelings I've had over EU/US differences.

I can see the EU PS+ is bringing out all the crying again. If anybody here would rather have EU account then make one and purchase a PS+ card and enjoy. Nobody makes you purchase PS+ so pick what region you like. I just think its funny that every week people here say oh shit EU get that. Stop waiting and get your account so you can stop complaining here.

Loving the US PS+!

Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus free for PS+

Thought it was the PS3 version, but since it's Vita, I can't get it. Excitement down...

dgwillia006 · Jan 28, 2013

Ooh Ninja Gaiden. I'm glad I waited to re buy

cancerman1120 · Jan 28, 2013

Nice if I had a Vita. Great for Vita owners. Cannot wait to see what PS3 gets.

IS that it for this week?

GT · Jan 28, 2013

It appears they are trying to offset the poorer game selection with better discounts, the dc's this week seem like extensions of the 13 for 13 type dc's, i.e. 2.50 for Gatling Gears and Greed Corp.

tylerh1701 · Jan 28, 2013

HELLO! Wow that was out of left field. And extremely awesome! Far better than Lumines for me.

Yeah, they do, as far as I can tell. When we had over 50 games on sale in December, they only had a 12 days of Xmas countdown. EU didn't get a 13 for '13 sale either, they got a Final Fantasy sale that we had months ago.

TortillaSoup · Jan 28, 2013

sah-weet. do not mind that.

cancerman1120 · Jan 28, 2013

I guess it is still Jan so that is still nice to get a free game.

mpaullin · Jan 28, 2013

Really wish we were getting Sleeping Dogs instead of Vita junk... Ah well.

theking20 · Jan 28, 2013

Europe ps+ gets sleeping dogs

I want that

But ninja gaiden sigma for vita is great though, I never played it on xbox or the port on PS3 so I can't wait.

Wish touch my katamari would be on ps+

very cool, been wanting to try Ninja Gaiden. What a great surprise.

Agreed. Ill probably pick up luminous eventually but would have never got ninja gaiden. Favorite thing about plus is trying new things.
Anyone know the size of this?

Well I missed the ebay deal (canadian seller) - and then realized my TRU rewards certificates expired yesterday - in both cases had a few chances to save $10+ and failed LOL. Just trying to maximize teh savings!

They are awful

KrebStar · Jan 28, 2013

Ninja Gaiden is a lot better than what I was expecting for the second Vita drop this month.

I'm looking forward to seeing what February brings, unfortunately that always comes with a large, stale, mound of US/EU bitching slathered on top.
