TheMightyEthan Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 So Sony is giving a free (permanent) copy of Jurassic Park: The Game to anyone who signs up or renews 1 year of Playstation Plus by the 8th. Does anyone on here have Playstation Plus? How good are the incentives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel_excel Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 And they game won't 'expire' if you don't resub to Plus either, its your to keep. Unfortunatly its for new members only. That's strange....also yeah don't expect this on the EU store *goes to check the shitty EU blog' nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 It's not for new members only, if you buy another year during this time you get the game too. What about the other incentives though? Cause if all i'm getting is Jurassic Park I can buy that for $30 and save myself $20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) I got psn plus for 3 months, then I won another 3 months through the Subway Uncharted 3 promotion and im liking it a lot. I just got Hydrophobia, Crash Bandicoot 1,2,3 and CTR for free today too. Last month I got Costume Quest, RE1,2,3 and ALL the Uncharted 2 dlc for free. You also get some free avatars and dynamic themes. I think the discounts alone justify it really.

Well if I bought a Plus sub for a year last week, I'd be fucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 You can stack your plus subs. So you wouldn't be "fucked" as such, just well prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah, your sub doesn't have to be up for renewal during the time, you just have to buy the year during the time. Since it stacks anyone can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Plus is worth it for the discounts. I managed to get RE4 HD for £6 (it was meant to be 7.99 but they goofed andd put it up for 12 which with the discount was there for the plus members for 6 - that was lower than what I paid for the wii version which I thought I got for cheap at 14). At times you get full games for free that don't expire. For instance they gave everyone plants vs zombies for free and stacking was free to keep permanently on release as well. The US one is particularly beneficial if you've got unlimted bandwidth as you have a lot more full game trials so you can download them and see if you like it or not before buying them. I renewed this year and I know I've saved more than what I paid for in subscription purely through purchases and permanent freebies. However people do whine when they don't get enough content every month. Sometimes valid, sometimes not. I don't really think the 3 month membership is great because they do have a few lean months a year and if you're unfortunate you can get stuck in one of those.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 This week Hydrophobia: Prophecy, and all 4 PS1 era Crash Bandicoot games were free... a few weeks ago all of the PS1 era Resident Evil games were free. I think Plus has been well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Alright, I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm still not convinced it will be worth it to me, but if not it's still not that much money. I'm willing to risk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 By the way, most of the free stuff is only free for the month or sometimes only until the next PSN update. Onces its gone its gone, so make sure you log in every tuesday and download everything you want, even if you dont actually download it right then and there. As long as its on your downloads list you can download it whenever you have the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as its on your downloads list you can download it whenever you have the time. I did exactly that with this month's games. Didn't want to download Hydrophobia right away, but at least it's been "redeemed". I've been a member for less than a month and I already feel like it was absolutely worth it. I saved 10% on Code Veronica HD and I already got something like 5 free games that actually interested me. Also, the feature to have your PS3 turn on on its own and download any updates, upload your saves to cloud storage and sync your trophies is just amazing. That really should be a basic feature of the PS3 and not just for Plus subscribers, but I guess they need to add as much value to it as possible if they want people to actually subscribe. Kinda sucks that I missed out on free Jurassic Park by only a couple of weeks, though. Now I'm tempted to grab an additional three months just for it, which would be kinda stupid...

But the time stacks so if you think you'll end up renewing it anyway and you have the money there's really no reason not to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I know the time stacks, but I really can't justify dropping another 50 bucks on this right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 So, I haven't gotten around to playing JP yet, what with Skyrim and Halo: Anniversary, and Skyward Sword next week, but based on what I'm hearing I may be glad I went with this instead of just buying the game. Sounds like it's pretty terrible. Even though I spent more, at least this way I have SOMETHING to show for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best feature the service has, and it will keep me subscribed to plus. Without it, I would probably decide to stop even with all the discounted games/addons...
