What? Where is this 3 month trial?

It's $17.99 for 3 months.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Oh I thought you meant like a free trial!

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I thought I would ask this here..... So anyone have any recommendations for a PSN game for around $10.00 or cheaper? I'd prefer local multiplayer, but singleplayer games are fine as well. I was thinking Bionic Commando since I loved the game when I was younger.

Critter Crunch was good and its a differentr take on the puzzle genre.

I'm not looking at the prices now, but if ZEN Pinball is at $9.99, there's your answer.

Yep, Zen is indeed $9.99.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I'm leaning on FFIX, Final Fight, or Bionic Commando. I'll check out the pinball game and critter crunch though.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Video editing and uploading is a great addition to XMB. I just wish that Sony would demand that every game from this point forward would allow to record gameplay footage the way that "The Show" does. I have so many great goals in PES that I would like to upload, but since the video isn't recorded via the XMB I can't upload them.

I have some very nice PES videos that I wish we could upload.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

So for those that have it....how's Plus?

[Blzer]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

So for those that have it....how's Plus?

Well so far it works for me because I'm taking advantage of what they gave us. I played the full hour trial of inFamous, I downloaded the Fat Roles pack for Fat Princess, I downloaded WipEout HD, yada yada. I haven't really cared for the Rally car PSX game they released or anything and I thought there would be a dynamic theme thrown somewhere in the mix, but for the most part I've already gotten nearly $40 worth out of it.

I still don't think monthly updates to the Plus thing are enough though, and that there are many more things that need to be thrown at us. The fact that we can still play online or buy these games in the store and that we're just getting very few discounts for things we might not want won't be pleasing enough for most people. Normally it wouldn't be for me, but I'm willing to give it a shot for at least the first 15 months and see how things go.



And for people talking about the video uploader, I have two complaints: 1) Unable to insert my own music tracks in the videos; 2) Saves at like a 640 x 480 resolution only (unless there's something I don't know).

[bcruise]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

This week's update gets a giant "meh" from me....and Field Runners is the free game? I've never even heard of that one.

Well, P3P sounds interesting, but since I haven't played the first two I don't really want to jump straight to that one.
