Hi again, its already time for the next treats to be added to Plus for you!
Today we will be adding a couple of little extras that we hope you will enjoy.
You may have heard about a game called DC Universe Online? Well we have worked hard to make sure that you guys get exclusive access to the Beta of this huge MMO Action title. All Plus members will be included and the download is being added to the Plus section of PlayStation Store as we speak – yes, that’s right now.
Due to the scale of the game, this Beta Trial will require approximately 15GB of free Hard Disk Drive (HDD) space, and can take an average of 3-4 hours to download, or potentially longer depending on your broadband internet connection. It will definitely be worth it though!
We are also giving you guys a great PSP game Add-on for free. Little Big Planet PSP Turbo! Pack, will be yours to download and keep forever today. This pack contains loads of extras for LBP PSP.
And finally, try the game Prototype before you buy as it will be in the Plus section from today as a full game trial.
Will be back on the 22nd with even more treats for you.

Is the DCU online space 15gb for download + installation?
Or will I end up having to have 30GB to do both?
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:25 pm by James Thorpe
download is 121MB for the launcher and then the launcher will download the 15GB game

Why is prototype so expensive on PSN? Its much cheaper on XBL.
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:09 pm by James Thorpe
Sorry, I don’t work on the pricing but I know this is not Ross’s call either, it was up to Activision i’m afraid

Those 15 GB will be a piece of cake to download with Automatic Downloads.
By the way…
I have two ideas on how to improve Automatic Downloads. Please reply if you read them:
» First, when the PS3 turns itself on, have it synchronize our Trophies as well. It would be much less of an hassle if I never had to sync them again because they would do so automatically at night.
» Second, I like how I can queue demos betas and games I download from the PlayStation Store and then turn off my console, and Automatic Download finishes transferring and installs all of it automatically. However, some of the games and betas I download require a patch after i boot them for the first time. Please have AD automatically download patches for game content it helps download, not just games you already played. I don’t see any technical reason why this wouldn’t work.
Thank you!
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:13 pm by James Thorpe
Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll pass these on for you
Cheers

Something good for me now since I got no LBP2 beta!

Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 3:29 pm by Lucreto
Any plans on getting us a discount on Back to The Future or a discount on Monkey Island?
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:16 pm by James Thorpe
Hi, I’ll pass this on and can’t promise anything but the content guy does look at all the sugestions and prioritise them if he can.
Cheers

Will the DC thing get a separate demo in the future,I’d need to play it before considering paying a monthly fee for it.
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:17 pm by James Thorpe
Hi, i’m afraid I don’t know on that one, its currently just the beta on Plus. Sorry I can’t help on that one

This game is a joke, I played one of closed beta and then stopped playing and now I can’t cancel my pre order because I already used the key. And obviously I can’t resell it or re trade.
Same price as World of Warcraft, no thanks? I’ll still with WoW
The game would be successful if it uses same pricing plans as Free Realms, I’ll wait for Free Realms to come onto PS3 on 10th of March, most likely to be delayed anyway

Thanks! (And also the LBP addon
)

Wow [REMOVED], just downloaded it, 15GB? It was 121mb!! Ok I start the game & it asks for the redeem code from the manual!! WTF its a beta! Not the full version why am I being asked to enter a code???
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:28 pm by James Thorpe
Hey, I have just spoken to Elliott, the PM for this game and he is looking into it as it def shouldn’t do this. Will let you know ASAP

Stupid Eircom and their bandwidth limits and such… Grrr…

Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 3:47 pm by GhostViper
Can one quit while it’s downloading to make it continiuing downloading when I turnet it on again?
30
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 3:49 pm by Huono_peleis
File is actually 120 MB and does pretty much nothing when installed. What’s wrong?
31
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 3:49 pm by ShadowDoGGG
OMFG! SONY YOU ARE THE BEST
32
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 3:50 pm by ShadowDoGGG
Can you please give us a quick holla when it is on the system?
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:23 pm by James Thorpe

Where do you have an official source where it says it will be the same price as WOW?
34
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 3:51 pm by Galvanise_
@ Huono_peleis.
Once that 120mb is installed, you’ll need to click on the Beta icon in your games sub-section, agree to the T&C and then the Beta data will download using another download client.
I have 2 hours left of downloading.

It’s their right now to download.
36
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 3:51 pm by cthulhu85
@Huono_peleis: It should update when you start up that file… mine is downloading as we speak through the DC Online file.
37
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 3:57 pm by Danlisa
Very Very Nice, thank you.
However, 15gb is too rich for me. While I have no cap, using half my ‘fair usage’ is a no no, especially for a game I won’t be buying on its release.
Although, the current offerings to PS+ is awesome. Keep it up……if you can.
38
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 3:59 pm by Saber_IV
OMG!!! YES!!! DUDE KZ3 Beta now DCUO beta! My PSN+ membership was 100% worth it.

Hello
First of all, thank you for a great serivce! Assasins creed beta, Killzone 3 beta.. and now this! Amazing
Only problem is I don’t get the time to play the fallout 3 DLC you gave us a few months back
And I was wondering.. Is there a way to backup the PS3 HDD, so that my PS+ content is safe? Would be great if I could take a backup of it and restore it if needed
46
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:22 pm by Azard300
15GB & 2-3 hours to download!
BY THE POWER OF GREY SKULL :O
47
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:28 pm by Azard300
Good thing i upgraded my 60GB PS3 to 500GB i got nothing to worry about.
Also How come you guys are charging £21.99 for Assassin’s Creed when you get the disc form for £5!
48
Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:33 pm by beri00
Thanks for this should be interesting to try out. But you cannot run the download in the background!
On another note as KZ3 is coming out soon can we please have the other 2 dlc packs of KZ2 as we were given one at the start of plus.
Many thanks

Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:34 pm by orton131

Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:49 pm by James Thorpe

Cheers

Posted on 14 December, 2010 at 4:36 pm by Azard300
@Sprakky If have a portable HDD (FAT32 Format) you can go to SYSTEM SETTINGS & go to BACKUP UTILITY & click BACK UP once the PS3 detects your HDD plugged in via USB depending on how much data/save games you have it might take 1hour or more it will back everything up. Your PSN+ stuff you brought & downloaded can be re-downloaded agian from he store. Then your free to format your PS3 HDD or upgrade your PS3 HDD then simply stick go to SYSTEM SETTINGS to BACKUP UTILITY this time selecting RESTORE that will restore all your backup files etc. Enjoy.
