What about firstplay included?
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 2:30 pm by James Thorpe
Hi, as I mentioned before we are def looking into this for you but one of the things we have to consider is that Plu content is available for the whole of Europe whereas firstplay is just for the UK. As I said we are looking into this for you and will let you know any developments ASAP

Just a little note to let you know that the other James is at IFA in Berlin and is trying to jump on and respond to your comments but he might be held up.

Hopefully we’ll get some extra stuff during this period
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 2:36 pm by James Thorpe
keep your eyes on the Plus section of the store and on here for the extra treat announcements!!

Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:06 pm by Suzzopher
Whoot!! I shall be downloading Sam & Max with Oddworld \o/

Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:06 pm by LEONOFDEATH
Do existing customers get this game for free too?
Please dont be messing us around…
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 2:39 pm by James Thorpe
Hi, we are definately not messing you around. If you are an existing user then you will have got LBP as your extra free gift for signing up to one year. This is simply the next sign up offer for people who haven’t joined yet, but all the other content mentioned is obviously for all Plus members. plus the extras that we will be giving you during the month

Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:06 pm by Laraman
Will be downloading Sam and Max and Abe’s Oddysee today then! Still amazed that it’s all five episodes of the game for free and hopefully it’ll keep me occupied for a while.
Looking forward to the other Plus surprises this month too.
8
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:07 pm by Munders12
Hmmm… I think an option for a few extra months instead of a game would be more enticing. I already had LBP and would have preferred the 3 free months that the US got.

nice can’t wait for the pain ava’s
how about some exclusive themes of games that will come out this fall ??
10
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:07 pm by funkpower
It get’s worse!
So, I signed up from day 1, do I get Quest for booty?
11
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:08 pm by cory90
Looking good, thanks for the update. Any news on the other Tomb Raider PSOne games coming to PS Plus? Would be great to have them.
Is there any news on PS2 Classics on the store? In the pipeline at all?
Cheers
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 2:40 pm by James Thorpe
Hi, we are def looking into both of those for you but i don’t have any info on them yet. Will let you know ASAP

You seem to have missed off the DLC for October….

Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:08 pm by FIGHTFULL
What about the people who allready own burn zombie burn?
Will they get the home item too?
15
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:09 pm by danboly
Damn, I was an early subscriber that already owned lbp (so that freebie was useless for me), I should have waited to get free r&c instead
16
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:09 pm by kingofscotland
Thanks for the update James,
I have a fair bit of the content but looking forward to Sam & Max and I was nearly buying Hustle Kings last week when I heard it was getting Move & 3D update, so will just need to wait til next month now for my 50% discount.
Anyone who hasn’t played Abe must download – it is a classic!
17
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:09 pm by flamingcarrot
Still not sold. Are you planning on offering anything above and beyond PSN store game content?
Such as…………
Cloud Game Saves
PS3 Extended Warranty (a la Continuous Play)
Cross Game Chat
Movie Download Credits
Magazine Content (Qore/FirstPlay)
Store Wide Discount Scheme (10-20%)
For those of us that already own most of the ‘best’ content from the PSN store, you need to think outside the box if you want us to sign up to PS+.
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 2:50 pm by James Thorpe
Hi, that is exactly what we are trying to do for you. we feel that the content offering in Plus is very strong and getting stronger but we are always looking for new ways to improve the service. Plus is def not a fixed service but evolving all the time.
18
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:10 pm by cspr111
Wow, if you’re dumb enough to throw away 40 notes on a handful of discounts on old stuff you deserve to get ripped off.
The only good things there are the PS1 games, and I already dl’d abes oddysee ages ago and still have syphon filter on disc.
19
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:10 pm by SlapnutzUK
[DELETED] more content I already have….
…hmmmm do I renew?

Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:10 pm by kevinpage1
looking forward to sam & max and will be gettin metal gear solid its been ages since i played that
also is there any chance to get a free singstar song each month or a discount on a song pack
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 2:52 pm by James Thorpe
Hi, thanks for the SS suggestion, its a good one and something we will look into for you. Cheers

Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:11 pm by LEONOFDEATH
Am I right in believing that the money generated from PS+ subscriptions is going towards making PSN better? Like more online features and faster download speeds?
Thats actually the main reason I got PS+, Because I want to help contribute to making PSN a better experience.
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 2:55 pm by James Thorpe
Hi, afraid I can’t comment on those sort of things but just wanted to say thanks for your support!
22
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:11 pm by kosigan
It’s getting a bit better, but not enough to tempt me into buying just yet. I think that asking for FirstPlay to be included free is not likely; US subsribers get Qore included, which is $2.99 a month, as opposed to FirstPlay’s 99p a week. On that basis, if a FirstPlay subscription was half price for Plus subscribers, I’d go for it.
23
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:11 pm by Yeroon
Sam & Max is very nice!
Thanks!
24
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:11 pm by Chaosprower
I don’t find any reason at all to renew my subscription, the only thing I get are games I already have or don’t have interest for.
Seriously what does Plus “offers” appart from old content available for a limited time and the “automatic downloads” which downloads demos of games I already OWN?
And last week the R.U.S.E demo was released on Steam for everyone, and Sony just delayed it for everyone else claiming it was a plus exlisive.
25
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:12 pm by SDR
Same as #10
I signed up from day 1, so do I get Quest for booty?
How about some MOVE demos/games.
26
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:12 pm by shaunali
Any one that is debating whether to sign up has no excuses this month. Sam & Max as well as Abes Odysee free PLUS a sign up bonus too. You should see a spike this week well done.
The only thing I could ask is a discount on Quest for Booty for existing customers Pretty please
27
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:13 pm by joshualeuty96-2-
Might subscribe for 3 months of Playstation Plus Soon. 4 Avatars for free for October!!! ME LIKE!!!
28
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:13 pm by hutton1993
I signed up on day one and I’d rather have Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty for free instead of LittleBigPlanet as I already own LBP.
Also, didn’t we get Gravity Crash as a game trial in month one? Why are we getting it as a game trial again?
29
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:14 pm by snap02-12
I hope this month’s unannounced specials will be more than an early demo and an overpriced PS1 Classic. I know you guys make sure to give us the best content possible, but I’m really thinking about subscribing to the US Service after the end of this month. Also; where is the cross-game-chat you guys promised before PS+ even launched?
30
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:14 pm by LEONOFDEATH
@23, Yeah, I thought that too, PS+ is just giving us demos on the actual release date of the demo, And delaying it for regular users…
31
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:14 pm by pawelgr5
Hey
Why there is no DLC for October?? There should be one per month…
32
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:15 pm by issueskid
It used to be little big planet for signing up which was not worth it for most people as they already have it, plus it was the standard edition which was about £15. Now your giving away quest for booty, this game costs around £10 in the shops, thats even less of a giveaway for signing up.
It’s the same with the PS1 classics, yet again I either have any classic PS1 games on disc or I don’t want them.
33
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:16 pm by funkpower
Hey!
Am I right in thinking that Quest for Booty does not support trophies?
34
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:16 pm by KC-alpha-14
My Birthday is October 5th.. So I’ll sign up that day.. get R&C for free get all September stuff and get October stuff the day after…
PlayStation have you planned this around my birthday?
35
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:17 pm by Skookie30
It a good job i sign up for a 90-days sub, However i will give + a chance to evole i shall renew my sub this month.
ppl you are in for a treat for S&M it funny as hell i bought it cheap as a pre-order.
btw james i‘ve read about sony giving a 1 hour press conference tonight about a possibly a music & video sub service, will this be a + Feature
36
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:20 pm by NviperO
So do I need to do anything to get my LBP download voucher as I joined in the middle of August when it was not available for download under PS+ section?
Also, any chance to change that voucher for R&C Quest for Booty as I already own LBP?
37
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:20 pm by wotta
I can’t believe those like me who signed up day one are unhappy.
Look at all the great content we have already and its only been a few months.
We have more than had our moneys worth and there is loads more to come, its only been a few months after all.
What more do you want?
38
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:20 pm by CodeMonkey_UK
Either you annoy subscribers by not giving them anything decent or you annoy those that haven’t subscribed by delaying content or restricting access.
39
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:21 pm by killzonexx
where is our dead nation beta? if you talk about exclusive dead nation is! people are getting keys while they sometimes didnt even heard of the game, and plus members dont get nothing great deal sony!
40
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:21 pm by mcwildcard
Agh! I bought burn zombie burn not long ago!
Ah well, SFIIHDR will be a welcome addition to my collection and Hustle Kings has been on my radar for a while, so a 50% discount will definitely be welcome.
What’s the DLC for October? It’s not mentioned…
Can everyone please stop asking about Firstplay, it’s getting annoying, they can’t do it because it’s not a first party product.
Quore is made by Sony, so they can give it away, Firstplay is made by Future Publishing (I think), so it’s not Sony’s to dish out gratis.
41
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:21 pm by Hell-Raiser-85
@James I got a 3 month membership on day 1 so when it runs out and i get a year membership before October 5th do i get the Ratchet and Clank game? Any way thanks for for great update i am happy with it so far. Got my money back in the first month alone.
42
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:21 pm by danboly
Hi James, please can you suggest that ps+ subscribers get cloud game saves. I know quite a few people that are waiting for ps+ to improve PSN in general (and not just offer games).
So perhaps add:
Cloud game saves
Some sort of extended warranty (discounted to plus subscribers)
And we all know the community want cross game chat which I believe Sony are working on anyway
Thanks for the update, looking forward to Sam and max
43
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:22 pm by Ti_dus
Free Ratchet and Clank QFB is really very nice
44
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:22 pm by Apnomis
Warhawk and Quest for Booty? If you guys are already scraping through your back-catalogue of old games what is it going to be like in a few months time?
I’m sorry but Plus just doesn’t interest me at all, I’ve either had the content already for a very long time or didn’t get it because I didn’t want it. I’m not against subscriptions to support PSN but I want features not freebie rentals of old games – online backups, better browser, priority downloads etc. The only things that I am interested in with Plus are the auto-downloads and exclusive themes/avatars, but those on their own don’t justify the subscription.
I guess I’ll wait for the next sign-up offer and hopefully it will be something more worthwhile (and something I don’t already own)…
45
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:23 pm by Clxmj
Would of prefered R&C over LBP purely because i already own LBP but there we go.. Why hasn’t October gotten any Premium DLC listed or has it been removed like the HR Dynamic Themes? Alas! Still no Tombi 1 8( Would pay £40 for that on its own..
46
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:23 pm by issueskid
People keep saying “you get your monies worth” but do you really want half the “free” stuff you get when you sign up? I for one would play most of it because I got it as part of the deal but I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to pay for most of it given the chance.
I have most stuff that I want and anythign new like Joe Danger won’t be included any time soon.
47
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:23 pm by Sp4reNL
@flamingcarrot (#17)
you forget webbrowser updates (support for more embedded movie formats, descent javascript support etc.)
@funkpower (#32)
Indeed, no trophies for R&C:QfB
48
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:24 pm by snap02-12
Offerings comparable to the US ones, because we pay way more to get PS+. Cross Game Chat, which was advertised by Sony before PS+ launched. Oh, I’d also just be happy if the guys who manage PS+ in Europe just posted here and admitted that they cannot do anything to be on par with the US’s offerings instead of just saying “…..wait for sepcials throughout the month…” just to make everyone shut up when they know that those specials won’t be anything other than early access to things. Then there are also a couple of Betas going on right now that they could let PS+ users participate in. Just a couple of things.
49
Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:25 pm by Carnivius_Prime
ratchet and clank i already have as it was cheap enough on the store anyways ages ago and it doesn’t have the new convienence of being installed on the hard drive as it already was a downloadable unlike LBP.
Problem with a lot of this is that the majority of people who’d want certain games already have bought them long before they end up on Plus. People like me tend to buy games on release date or soon after. If we haven’t for a while it’s likely in most cases cos we don’t really want the game. I think they need to be of more expensive games we put off buying at first due to cost.

Posted on 1 September, 2010 at 12:25 pm by ShadowDoGGG
I too would rather have had Ratchet instead of LBP
