| it just occurred to me that maybe this PSN downtime today might have something to do with this?...seeing as the 3D thing was already implemented in the last firmware (right?) and E3 next week... |

Registered 18 years agoThey've closed down a lot of the cross-country PSN purchases too. There's lots of people complaining they can't get Joe Danger as Sony have blocked IPs by country. That smells of locking down markets because 'Premium' things are imminent to me.
Foreign PSN cards still work though. -

Registered 16 years agoWhat kind of lock down, just EU to US or within the EU too? That would really piss me off if I was restricted to using the Czech PSN store rather than using the UK one with scratch cards. -

Registered 15 years agoIf the premium service is available in my territory then I'm all for it. Thus far I'm unable to watch Videostore, Iplayer, etc. I'm slightly concerned about the news that cross-country PSN if being nerfed. It's the only way I can access Store content so if they remove the feature I'm pretty much fucked.

Dunno for sure, but as a test, I just DL'd a free theme from the UK store. Came down no problem, so the functionality i still there. Having said that, maybe I'll not run into problem as I'm in 'euro' land, all be it only just

Registered 16 years agoFree stuff is supposed to be ok at the mo, it's paid content that's causing trouble.
I wonder if they'll introduce cross-regional store purchases as a Premium service a bit further down the line? -

Thanks for checking. If the issue is only with funding the wallet then I should be OK thankfully as my wallet has enough for FFIX. Also it's pretty much the last thing I will need from the US store.

You need a 360, if those things are so exciting to you
Global party system would be awsome, I would definatly buy it though, and Cross game chat is looking juicy!
Also Sony, keep the name to PSN+ not psn service pack!!!!

Registered 15 years agoNow Playstation Plus. Early adopters get LittleBigPlanet free for the PSP.
From the EU Playstation Blog:
Hi Everyone, you may have heard in all the E3 hype that we are launching a new premium subscription service called PlayStation Plus in just a weeks time, so I just wanted to give you all a quick heads up on what you can expect to get from this great new service so you have all the info before launch on the 29th June.
The first thing to note is that PlayStation Network is still free to join and all the current features will remain free. PlayStation Plus will be offering you a service above and beyond this, including loads of content and exclusive, member-only, PSN features.
From 29th June you’ll be able to purchase a 1 year or 90-day membership from PlayStation Store and instantly get your hands on the following premium features. Plus, if you sign up for a 1 year membership between 29th June and 3rd August, we’ll also throw in a free downloadable copy of the award winning LittleBigPlanet.
Games:
As a member you can expect to get your hands on at least four games a month at no extra charge. Each month there will be a selection of one PSN game, two minis and one PS one classics available on PlayStation Store for you to download. You also get premium avatars and dynamic themes each month, many of which are exclusive to members.
Talking of exclusive, there will also be discounts available on loads of PlayStation Store content, just for members, so make the most of them as these will change each month as well.
Finally, wherever possible we’ll be making sure that members are included in some selected demos and beta trials before they go live to the public so you can be the one to tell all your mates about the next big game they ‘must’ get.
Just the games, avatars and themes alone are worth at least £200* per year, so even before the other benefits, this service is great value for money
Full Game Trial:
This premium feature gives you the chance to try PSN and Blu-ray disc titles before you buy them in a whole new way. We are not talking normal demos of selected parts of a game here. With Full Game Trial, you can download the full game and play it as if you owned it for approximately one hour, depending on the game, before you decide if you want to buy it or not. So you can check out the online modes, play against friends or anything else you’d normally do with a game.
The other great thing is that your progress and trophies from the trial will all be unlocked if you buy the game so no need to go back and start again.
Automatic Download:
We wanted to offer members the speediest service possible so sign up and you can set your PS3 to automatically receive the latest game updates for all the games you play, PS3 system software updates and even have game demos sent directly to your PS3 without lifting a finger.
Just set the time you want to receive them and your PS3 will automatically wake up and download everything, ready for when you next want to play. No more waiting to play your favourite game because there is a new patch or having to remember when the latest system software is launching, let your PS3 do the work.
Details of this great new service, including a list of content available for the first 2 months will be on playstationplus.com between now and the 29th, but don’t forget to get on the Store and sign up before the 3rd August to get the added bonus of a free copy of LittleBigPlanet.
It would be great to hear what you guys think of this new service and I’ll be back one here on Wednesday morning to try and answer any questions you have. -

Registered 12 years ago1) I thought there was something about the first three months being free, did I imagine this or is it US only?
2) I don't have a PSP so what am I supposed to do with the free PSP game?
3) What happened to the insurance thing? is that definitely out -

Sounds absolutely worth the money. If you happen to be made of money and/or don't like your money and want rid of it asap. -
Not sure if I want this, but glad to see you can buy it from the PSN store as it means you can use cheap PSN funny money. -
Games tied to your subscription is just plain retarded.
