Retro_Link Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Do PSN plus auto renew? Wasn't prepared to spend a year's worth of it right now.Yeah I remember reading previously in this thread that there's an auto-renew that needs turning off in one of the menu's.
Daft Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Should be under Account Settings on the vertical menu to the left of the Friends List (can't remember what it's called exactly), if I recall correctly. Same place you can change your avatar.
Tales Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks. It has been turned off now. It wasn't that though, appearently they just charged me late with Ninokuni. My subscription doesn't end until May. Wouldn't know otherwise hadn't it been for the confusion. Thanks again.
Daft Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I just assumed it's because Bartle Bogle Hegarty are awesome.
The Bard Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 PS3 just arrived today. Having that heady new console lust right now. Think I'm going to download Shadow of the Colossus. Already been bossing Wipeout HD and Pixeljunk Shooter. Lots of God of War on the way. Anything else I absolutely must order immediately? (Okami HD looks appealing...)
Cube Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I'd recommend looking at PlayStation Plus. Although if you're looking at buying games: Uncharted 1-3, InFamous 2 (which is part of Plus), Heavy Rain and Journey are good to start with.
The Bard Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Are games on PSPlus for a designated time period only, or are they there indefinitely? Because I'd rather not have the stress of having to play the games in a set time frame, and also having the roster of games available decided for me. Defs looking into the Uncharted stuff. Should I bother with Drake's Fortune? I heard it kinda drags.
Magnus Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) After you've 'purchased' a free PS+ game, you can play or download it whenever you want, as long as you still have a subscription (or if you resubscribe). The first Uncharted is worth playing to get to know the characters, but it has by far my least favorite gameplay in the series. Edited February 7, 2013 by Magnus
Dog-amoto Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 What do you think the chances are of seeing Okami HD on Plus? I love the game, but already own it on Wii so couldn't really justify its purchase.
Cube Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 What do you think the chances are of seeing Okami HD on Plus? I love the game, but already own it on Wii so couldn't really justify its purchase. We've had Resident Evil 5, so it's possible.
Dcubed Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Yeah, PS Plus is a good service in general; especially if you're new to the console! If you're halfway interested in the games on offer, there's no reason to hesitate really. The games you get for free are yours to play whenever your subscription is active (so if you unsubscribe and then decide to re-subscribe later on, the stuff you had previously downloaded while you were subscribed the first time will be yours again for free!) Games you buy for a discounted price via PS Plus however, are yours to keep forever - even if you unsubscribe completely. Edited February 7, 2013 by Dcubed

ThePigMarcher Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I wouldn't hesitate in recommending PS+. It was another factor that made me switch consoles last June and subscribing was one of the first things I did, I haven't looked back. That said, because of it, I have a stack of games on my HDD which I still haven't found time to get to but that's never a bad thing, right? It was also the reason why I decided to stick a 1TB HDD in the console within three months of owning the thing. I'm not sure whether we'll see Okami HD on the service anytime soon but I bought it the day it came out (despite already completing it on the Wii) and I haven't regretted it, although it's another one that is currently sitting in my backlog.
S.C.G Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Okami HD is worth the money regardless, I would have preferred it if they had released it on disc - launch model NTSC 60GB Hard Drive (won't upgrade) am crai - but even with it's £15 (ish) pricetag and even if you have limited hard-drive space it's still worth it. If you have the cash and loads of hard drive space to spare then there's definitely no excuse not to.
Dog-amoto Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 May be a silly question, but how do you connect an external hard drive to consoles such as PS3 and Wii U? It is just by USB? And can you run games straight off them or do you have to copy them to the system first?
Retro_Link Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) @The Bard I'd honestly give both Uncharted 1 and Infamous 1 a look, I got my PS3 last year and they are both really great games, and then will make the sequels even more of a joy to play! You should be able to find them for around £12.50 as well... or check to see if Infamous is cheap on the PSN. Games I've bought: Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Infamous, Heavy Rain, Journey(PSN), The Unfinished Swan(PSN) Games I'm looking to buy soon: Uncharted 3, Infamous 2, Shadow of the Colossus(PSN), Pid(PSN) Okami HD will be incredible (I played the Wii version and it's in my Top 3 games for the console I reckon) and of course Ni No Kuni is you like your RGP's! Personally I haven't signed up to PS+ yet, if I wasn't looking for a job I'd be right on it, although I don't think I'd use it for AAA games so to speak, because with those I like to feel I 'have them' and can play them as and when I want. But I'd use it for all the games I sometimes consider buying like Limbo, Resident Evil 5, Vanquish etc... Edited February 7, 2013 by Retro_Link

Daft Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Every now and again a GIF goes too far. This is not one of those moments.
