Red Faction Battlegrounds Free with PS Plus

Today Playstation gamers received in their email from SONY an extraordinarily enticing offer. The email contained the following: "Buy and activate a 12-month subscription to PlayStation®Plus by March 25 and get Red Faction®: Battlegrounds™ FREE ($9.99 value)".

Hell yeah hot deal I cant wait to check it out!

Nitrowolf24790d ago (Edited 4790d ago )

I hope it's free for current users to. I'm a plus member and didn't recieve this notice, which gets me thinking it might be just for new sign ups.

MrBeatdown4790d ago

I think this will be replacing the three months free, which to me, was a far better deal.

I was in the beta for this, and it didn't seem like anything special.

Blaze9294790d ago (Edited 4790d ago )

um...it's not that exciting Examiner - pick your jaw back up. But of course @Hitman0769 is here to sice up any Examiner submission like it's not clear all he's doing is comment spamming to boost the submission temperature.

In fact, the offer doesn't really even make too much sense. You're telling people to spend $50 to get a $10 game for free? Why not just buy the game and save $40?

Sure you get all the other benefits which the email does not explain in detail. Sure you can click through the email links but how many average email users click through instead of hitting that delete button? But the way they are making it sound (I got the email too so hush), "Exclusive Offer: Get Red Faction Battlegrounds Free", like it's something you NEED to have and take advantage of.

I don't really see anyone jumping in agony waiting for that game's release.

I guess what I;m saying is they should have picked a better free offer, something not $10 and crap? Maybe something, like a retail game.

I'm on a 3 month plan and I tried the 60 minute trial feature. I love it. Made me see how fun ModNation Racers was. Now if that or something similar was being given free, I'd sign up. But you're not gonna convince me to spend $50 for some lame $10 download.

but let me guess you pay you fee on xbl gladly
since of course
you are getting so much more

thisguywithhair4789d ago

I don't even know what to say to the stupidity that you have just spewed. Of course they are going to make the offer sound like it is something you NEED. If they made it sound like literally anything else the person who wrote the email would be fired. Do you know nothing about how the marketing world works?

And don't come back at me saying I didn't read the whole comment or I missed the whole point or something stupid and condescending. You say in one sentence that it is stupid for marketers to make their product sound like it is something you need and then in the next sentence you say people are lazy and won't do their research. Sentence two proves sentence one. If I don't think a product is something I can't live without then I won't be doing the research to prove or disprove the idea.

Redempteur4790d ago

i bought PSN PLUS 1 year 2 days from now and i'm hoping this get activated for current PSN + users ..

MegaSackman4790d ago

Plus is a blast, i was one of those who bitched for three months since the subcription, but then, the thing just got better and better, Shatter, Stacking, i bought Castle Crashers for only 7.5$, and Dead Nation for 11$, i have played the Brotherhood beta, got Wipeout HD, PSX Classics like Oddworld Abe's Oddyssey and Exodus, early access to demos, wich believe it or not, is pretty good when you wait some games pretty bad, like Mortal Kombat for example.
Of course, there are some pretty shity things, like horrible free games, limited betas wich i always being left off, minis are probably the most horrendous games available in human history, PSX Classics that arent classic at all, trials for games that were released like a decade ago, etc.
But, the balance is really positive, i will renew without a doubt.

FACTUAL evidence4790d ago

I jus bought castle crashers and dead nation at 7.50$ each yesterday.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5073d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905073d ago (Edited 5073d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5073d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5073d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495073d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5073d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5073d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
