James Thorpe has swanned off somewhere or other this week so it’s down to me to tell you about the mid-month PlayStation Plus treats that he has arranged for March. Luckily, many of you seem to get the two of us confused so it should be a smooth transition.
Speaking of smooth transitions: from the Prince of PlayStation Plus to the Prince of Persia, from today you can get your hands on an exclusive bundle including The Sands of Time, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones for €29.99/£23.99 – that’s three for the price of two.
The second treat is something I know a lot of you have been waiting for. From today, you will be able to get MAG at 50% discount and the Escalation and Interdiction expansion packs at a 25% discount. MAGnificent.
Finally, a reminder to download the SOCOM: Special Forces beta on 23 March. I’ll be playing it but a small warning if I’m in your squad: I don’t do orders.
The other James will be back on 6 April to introduce next month’s content but feel free to ask me any questions.

Scorpion hey.. yeah that is a popular fellow I reckon!! But there are enough choices.. The demo is so awesome even though it only has 4 characters.. Well that’s why its a demo right!!
Think about it James G.. Nothing to lose a offer you can’t refuse.. :p

Just let me know if the problem persists and we’ll try and get to the bottom of it for you.

Now I know you or SCEE don’t set this pricing (though SCEE has been found guilty doing exactly the same), but this needs to be repeated untill this changes.
I’d like to comment on the exclusive bundle including The Sands of Time, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones for £23.99, the so called “three for the price of two”.
You don’t have distribution costs, no Blu Rays to produce or pressing costs, no cases and no booklets.
Buyers’ hard disk will be full, it’ll take a bite out of their monthly download limit and they won’t have anything to sell second hand.
Still you sell this for THE DOUBLE of what it costs at online retailers like zavvi (£12 including shipping)! If anything it should be sold at £10 maximum.
YOUR PRICES ARE OUT OF ORDER

Yeah I’ve already got the Prince of Persia Trilogy for much cheaper.

The price on Prince of Persia Trilogy on PSN is just horrible, do not buy it people. You get a real copy for £12.49 at Zavvi….Play is sold out atm.
Other then that I am lookinf forward to Socom!

When there are still 1000+ players in Domination and Sabotage games it’s pretty obvious the DLC with sub-100 players was over priced from the start, so this comes a little too late.
I already paid full price for Interdiction and there are so few players I don’t even bother adding it to my multiqueue. If this offer had been two months back on the anniversary of the game I’d probably have bought Escalation, but with SOCOM 4 around the corner it’d just be throwing money away with the other 100 folk worldwide who play the DLC.

Posted on 16 March, 2011 at 1:19 pm by James Gallagher
Sorry to hear that. In that case, let me refer you to the customer services forum: http://uk.playstation.com/ps3/support/forums/
Alternatively, you can call 0818 365065 to report the problem.

Hi james I don’t know if I’m the only 1 who got this but it says that sonic: the hedgehog will expire after 130 days (which I got from +) can anyone else check if they got this? (you press on triangle and go to information and scroll down)

Posted on 16 March, 2011 at 2:14 pm by Vintsukka
Any news on Mushroom Wars? Wasn’t it supposed to come to Plus in Feb but it had the same kind of problems as Shatter? Now Shatter is fixed, so what’s the story on Mushroom Wars? I was really looking forward to that one.

I’ll get the MAG dlc, thanks, but as others have said the POP discount is shockingly poor! I’m assuming “special offer” in this context means special for Sony, not the PS Plus members.
I just had the POP trilogy delivered from Zavvi this week for just £12.95 – for the real retail disc, not some download.
Anyone who wants to get the POP trilogy DO NOT buy it through Plus, get the retail disc from Zavvi instead and save yourself a tenner.

james!!!!! please coluld you answer this i bought deadstorm pirates yesterday at 16.99 because i never thought it would be offerd any lower than this noow i see that 1day after it will be 7.99 which i think is unfair as if this post had been yesterday id have waited for todays update to buy it there was no mention of this move offer anywhere im angry and feeling a little short changed as i waited for a long time for this game to drop in price thinking it never would so i bought it full price is there a number i can ring to get a refund of the game as i think this is unfair and unjust and would like my money back for the game please could get back to me as i find this very hurtful as a customer there was no warning in any blog post about a move sale. and if there would have been i would have waited please could you answer as i am a very loyal customer just look how much i spend on the store it quite a bit i can tell u
also ive just forked out 110 pounds on the move nav and sharpshooter a little help would be nice from u guys ive never asked for any of my money back b4 on games that id bought and then dropped in price but i feel ripped off at this as i only purchased the game about 4:30pm yesterday please help!!!!!!!!!!

… Is that it? I didn’t pay a subscription fee to Plus so I could have the “privelige” of paying twice the amount a game costs in the stores for an inferior download copy…
72
Posted on 16 March, 2011 at 3:05 pm by Spwni
That Prince of Persia “special offer” is insulting and I want Ubisoft to know that. When digital distribution was still in it’s infancy, we were told by various experts and people in the industry how everything would be cheaper as wouldn’t be similar manufacturing costs. People won’t pay ridiculous sums of money just for the convenience of not having to put a disc in your console.

Quick question.
Can I stack subscriptions? I’m on the 90 day sub,it finishes on the 8/5.But I cant find the option to add another 90 days on the store.I don’t use the auto renew (don’t like them) So do I ahve to wait until it runs out,or have I missed the option on the store.
Posted on 16 March, 2011 at 3:23 pm by James Gallagher
You can’t stack subscriptions currently but I’ve noticed a lot of people asking for it and recommended the feature to the Plus managers.

I bought/downloaded Prince of Persia The Two Thrones TODAY, before i saw this package,lol…*sigh
Bummer, what are the odds.
Bad luck, but AWESOME game
I only bought it because..
A) Just watched the movie and loved it, and
B) 3D.
I was abit worried being a Ps2 game remastered in Hd and 3D but surprisingly worked.
Bloody terrific in fact
Glad i bought it, even though i missed this deal.
I highly recommend it to anyone with a 3D Tv.

77
Posted on 16 March, 2011 at 3:45 pm by obiadekanobi1980
james im asking for your help and support and you seem to be ignoring me ive posted on three diffrent topics now the store update thread, this 1 and the digital comics store im only asking for a bit of support and i seem to be getting ignored this is unprofessional and just wrong but the comment just below mine gets an answer and mine dosent its a simple question about deadstorm pirates please answer
if not ill put in a letter of complaint to your head office about the lack of customer service on the blog ive tried finding numbers/email for customer support but no luck you guys are the only voice we consumers have got to ask as your customer service center is a ghost ship it seems

wish we had dead nation on offer like the US store. missed out the last time it was at £4.99 so I bought Zombie apocalypse the next week. Its a good game but i still want dead nation.
The spring promo on the US store looks great. I’d buy most of it, But no such offer on the EU store.

“You can’t stack subscriptions currently but I’ve noticed a lot of people asking for it and recommended the feature to the Plus managers.”
Hopefully they add it.
Couple of extra questions then.
If I enable auto renew,will it add another 90 sub,or does it try and add a years sub?
And if I let it run out on the 8th and on the same day do another 90 sub,will it affect access to my content.Or does it just update the license and let me continue using it.
Cheers.

Okay, serious ask here… Would there be any chance of Getting Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories and Bust-a-Move 2 on PSOne Classic? Those games were my favorite games for that system… could you work your magic? :3
Thanks

Hello, the Playstation Plus section of the Australian PSN Store shows the MAG DLC, but it only has the same discount as the non-PS+ section. Is this supposed to happen?
87
Posted on 17 March, 2011 at 6:00 am by blankedboy
Yeah, MAG DLC isn’t properly discounted on the Aussie PSN store and the price for the POP trilogy is a joke – $49.95 AUS for a game I just got the disc version delivered for $20 from Zavvi.

How about some MLB the show 11 dynamic themes in Europe in time for the regular season? I can’t buy them from the US store without a US credit card. Oh and baseball is played in the UK in case you were wondering.

thanks
