Playstation Plus

[Jags..class]

Does anyone have a PlayStation Plus account?

I'm just wondering how the process works, so its like a rental and play the games free while you have an account? and do the games change every month? so you have a month to complete the game and then you cant access that game anymore?

I do

I can't reccomend it enough. Had my subscription for years now. Which is good as i'm gonna need it for the PS4.

In terms of the 'free games', you keep them for as long as you have your subscription. Even if you complete it they are still yours. I've had Just Cause 2 on mine for years, as it's just good to go in and blow stuff up.
The free games change each month and are generally of a decent standard.

The only downside i've found is how annoying it is when they have a free game on that you already own!

Thanks, I haven't played many games on the vita, is the library any good for the vita? for example this month, its now got uncharted which ive not got round to yet, but didn't tell me what other games I could play 'free'.

Not 100% on Vita as I don't have one but a guy I sit with at work has and he's always getting stuff.

Weirdly Uncharted 3 has been on there for ages!

Only other downside is how long games take to download. Feels like a year!

Yeah I was worried about the download, as uncharted is 3 gig, will need a new memory card as ive only got an 8gig

First thing I did when I bought my PS3 was install a (then, massive) 500GB Hard drive. I'll do the same when I get my PS4 (I already have a 1TB waiting for it)

PS+ is decent. The games downloads are huge, but I've got a lot of mileage over here in the US :
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
XCom - Enemy Unknown
LittleBigPlanet
Infamous 2
Virtual Fighter 5
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles
Saint Row The Third
Deus Ex Human Revolution
Hitman Absolution

Loads more (and those above are only the PS3 games), but the point being that even if you only get one game a year for free that you play its worth it, really.

also, if your subscription ends, and you don't renew, you still can re-download the games you downloaded that were free, and play them again, when you re-subscribe. Got my PS4 today - and FIFA 14 even though FIFA 15 comes out in September.

I should probably add - in case it helps anyone -= if you sign up with Woolworth.co.uk, very.co.uk, or isme.com, as soon as you sign for a credit account I think it's called, they give you an x amount of money to spend on buy now pay within 12 months, no interest, deal if you spend over a certain amount. That's how I got mine. I have a terrible credit history - but still was able to get a £600 amount to buy now pay later, (within 12 months) without any credit checks or anything.
