PlayStation Plus FAQ

Sony received a lot of questions in regards to PlayStation Plus: How to use it, what content is available, and more. Today Sony like to present some answers to some of the common questions Sony heard.

[iamnsuperman]

The PSN+ is great and all with great deals but I wish they made it more clear about the BETA system. Apparently it is only open Betas (basically the ones that do not matter and are used to advertise the game) and not the closed ones (invite to select few)

[kasasensei]

This is news? I don't think so.

[RememberThe357]

A FAQ is perfectly fine. Why do I see this so much? This site has a lot more then news, and it's always had a lot more than news.

It's been nearly 3 months and we need another FAQ on PlaystationPlus?

[Orionsangel]

You need to relax and stop being so cute.

[Apotheosize]

If theyd let you keep content I'd get it

[mushroomwig]

Have you never heard of a rental service before?

[Apotheosize]

Yes, there I'm allowed to choose. Here im not

[JoySticksFTW]

You keep all of the "free" content as long as you have the service

And the discounted games and add-ons you keep even if you cancel the service, so you really do make out like a bandit if you like PSN games and DLC

[Orionsangel]

"There are two betas for PlayStation Plus members coming up shortly and more details will be announced soon."

Please let it be LBP2!

[mushroomwig]

The LBP2 Beta is already out, I had my code a few days ago.

Awh, all my bubbles are gone!

[JobForARockStar]

Anyone have any ideas? Killzone 3? Assassin's Creed Brotherhood?

[Nate-Dog]

I think Brotherhood is only open for those pre-ordering the game.

1 PSN game or PSone Classic game

Interesting. I'm pretty sure they said you get both when they showed the lineup, now that's changed? It was asked in the comment section at least 10 times, and Lex completely dodged the question every time. Something fishy is going on here.

@JobForARockStar - That's what I thought, but according to PS you get one or the other, and when they was asked about it in the comment section, they completely ignored the comment and posted "Were trying to make PS+ a better service for everyone".

[JobForARockStar]

You do get both. every month too. Sometimes you get 2 psn games and 2 classics because it's updated twice a month. It's not bad.

[Focker-420]

FYI- You get both. I've had PS+ since launch and I've gotten a PSN game and PSone Classic every month.

The thing that bothers me the most so far is the content they put for discount or free is SUPER OLD STUFF!!!...most of the free games i already bought them,i don't give a damn about the Minis and PSOne games that they put are the garbage ones. So far i've been dissapointed with Plus, it is a great deal for people that never bought anything on the Store and want to catch up now, but for me it hasn't done sh1t, i hope they change this in the near future and start putting discounts on day one arcade games and DLC releases or else this is just a waste of money. The only "value" i've been able to enjoy is Qore episodes and the game with that orange furby kind of animal. :(

[JoySticksFTW]

Check out Syphon Filter for free

That PSOne classic is still good after all these years. Looks good and controls well on PSP if you have one.

But that's one of the games I already bought though

Also try that Zombies Mini. Fun shooter, hilarious dialog, and Free

And the Fieldrunners Mini was crack-addiction fun for a few days. That's still free I think

But yeah, seeing stuff released for free that you already paid for stings a bit.

[Demonsdown]

So they are already backpedaling on what was promised.

* 1 PSN game or PSone Classic game ( supposed to be "and" not "or")
* 2 minis
* A monthly Qore single episode
Betas have limited invites and based on selection criteria not every PlayStation Plus member will get access to every beta. ( supposed to be everybody that payed for + not who ever they feel like inviting)

Come on Sony your supposed to be adding to the service not taking stuff away. And I like how the guy answering the questions uses runaround corp speak every time somebody asks about these issues.

[Nate-Dog]

Wow, never knew they were doing that with the betas, that's awful. I'm not on PS+ myself (didn't think it was worth it) but it's bad enough you guys aren't even getting any betas yet, but only "selected" PS+ users get in to them? How does that work? That's kinda lame Sony.

[Dellis]

PS+ is not worth it unless you use the PS Store

it is basically a discount service, it isn't anything

other then that.
