Most of the people I know over the age of 28 own an xbox as they prefer the online gaming aspect. There is nothing kiddie about them.

Quiet of a few of them also own the ps3 and like me use it mostly for Blu Ray movies as the 360 provides a better gaming experience for them. Also a better choice of games of late as the PS3 exclusives have been few and far between.

Still not powered up my PS3 to update the system yet. Had it on yesterday to watch a 3d blu ray but that was all.

I couldn't agree more with your comments Stephen.

You only get to keep those games as long as you keep PS+. You can always expect a company to turn a negative into a way to earn profit.

Not true. The free games are yours to keep, it's only the actual PS+ stuff and features that you loose access to after the 30 day trial. If you read down the comments there are posts from the moderator explaining that.

The free games are yours to keep. It is only some of the content you get through PS Plus that will expire at the end of the month.

List of games

Quote:

All existing PlayStation Network members will be able to access the following from PlayStation Store*:
Two PS3 games from the following list:
LittleBigPlanet
Infamous*
Wipeout HD/Fury
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty

I think I will get Infamous and Wipeout HD

The free games they are talking about are the 2 freebies you choose from the selection of 5. Additional to them you will get PSN+ free games, but they do expire after your 30 days run out. You will however keep other free content (wallpapers, avatars) and you will keep any games you have brought with PSN+ discount.

I think it is right they are trying to take a positive spin out of giving out PSN+ - but you have to remember they are not able to charge ANYONE while they are giving this out free, and I would guess this IS costing them in lost earnings for not only the downtime, but for the free month when they can not charge for the service at all.

Musta read it wrong then since you're also getting a month of PS+.

Was thinking the same. Had been tempted to buy Wipeout HD before this all happened as it's 3D compatible ;)

That's what made me think of getting it :)

Re: PSN back online after data breach. You must change passwords [see post 1]

My choice will be:
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
Dead Nation*

And for my PSP:

LittleBigPlanet PSP
ModNation PSP

Am pretty happy with this, as they are all games I was fairly keen on getting hold of.

What with that and a month free Qriocity and 2 months free PSN+ I am actually saving money from all this - result! :)

I already have LBP & Wipeout. I'll definitely go for Infamous. Not sure what though for my second.

Re: PSN back online after data breach. You must change passwords [see post 1]

Infamous is actuarily quote tempting.....I'm not sure now! I too have Wipeout and LBP. I played beta of Dead Nation and it was fantastic, so I have to have that :)

So..Infamous or Ratchet and Clank?...hmmmmm

InFamous is a definite for me - came this close to buying it when it was released, so that's worked out well :D

Other than that, I think it's a toss-up between Dead Nation and Wipeout - haven't played any Wipeout in about 10 years, so may be worth revisiting

Re: PSN back online after data breach. You must change passwords [see post 1]

i compare thee xbox to an iPod (or iphone, take your choice)

its a popular console (..or phone) but there are alternatives that are a lot better, IMO people only get xboxes because they are more popular. I was ps3 only until about 2 or 3 months ago when i got my xbox, because more of my mates were playing xbox, and there was only 3 or 4 who played regularly on ps3

in terms of the console itself, the ps3 is far better, but the xbox has more people on it (for some unknown reason) so makes the online side of it better

My final word on this as the thread is going off topic a bit is that a lot of games makers that make multi format games are able to make them better on the 360 and many graphical features are left off of the PS3 version. So it might have more raw power but the PS3 is apparently not as good at doing some fancy graphical effects or its just not as easy to program.

History would say that the PS3 should be the popular one after the sucess of the PS1 and PS2. The 360 is popluar because it is a fantastic console over all.

I was looking at some reviews of Dead Nation and it does look pretty cool.
