PSN Plus is by far the most amazing feature that has entered the console market in years. For less than the cost of a new game you gain access to a huge library of killer titles that are yours to keep forever, as long as you don’t allow your subscription to lapse.
The scheme has re-invigorated my PS3 usage and I have finally gotten around to trying some classic titles such as Joe Danger and Motorstorm Apocalypse. And now in July the big hitting Battlefield 3 is coming to PSN Plus member for free and for nothing.
I’ve been addicted to Black Ops 2 recently on my Xbox but my Gold membership just expired and while I will obviously renew it I’m going to leave the CoD for a bit and re-enter the Battlefield.
Joining Battlefield 3 this month is Jet Set Radio and Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee HD.
(No they aren’t.. well they are in America but in the Great State of South Africa.. we get these Battlefield 3, Saints Row: The Third and Payday: The Heist.)
So if you are a PSN Plus member make sure to download Battlefield and come blow stuff up.. for all those who still have Battlefield 3 this could be the best time to put it back in the black beast.
Someone asked me last month if PSN Plus is worth it.. after I stopped laughing and pointing at them I told them it was… don’t make me laugh at you to

PS+ is the best thing that happened to me in the context of gaming. I’ve played so many games I wouldn’t have bought, even on sale, and loved. Games like Vanquish and Catherine, and indie developers seem to benefit the most. Check this out:

I was tempted to start a PS plus account now, but its going to be a waste cos the PS4 is on the way, so im ganna hold off till PS4 then start my PS plus membership.

July 2, 2013 at 10:08
Doesn’t make sense though. you’ll be missing out on the games in the interim.
CaptainNemo42
July 2, 2013 at 10:27
Do it now. As far as I know you will be able to play all or most PSN+ games on the PS4 through the Gaikai service. It’s the closest we will get to backwards compatibility.
Fnuik
July 2, 2013 at 10:28
Your PS+ membership will carry over to your ps4 so you won’t be missing out on anything
Deano
July 2, 2013 at 11:47
But the PS3 games wont be compatible on the PS4 as far as I understand ?
Fnuik
July 2, 2013 at 12:05
Correct, except if you user their Gaikai service. But if you have a ps3 at the moment, why would that matter?
Sageville
July 2, 2013 at 09:23
Yeah, I have to admit that PSN really is worth the bucks, R500 a year, thats less than a AAA title and you get a number of AAA titles for free (Battlefield 3 as proof). In addition you also get a bunch of games that I’d never pay money for but are actually proeety good.
Definitely a must have.
RinceWind
July 2, 2013 at 09:49
But can you get Grid Defence? trololo
Sageville
July 2, 2013 at 09:59
Hmmm, your argument is very compelling…
RinceWind
July 2, 2013 at 09:33
Dammit, I so wish I had a PS3. This PS Plus looks amazing, and I believe you can get Xcom for FREE now… Still, over on XBL I can download a free tower defence game… OH Myyyyyyy
Sageville
July 2, 2013 at 09:35
I’m so Jealous of XBL!!
….said no PS+ subscriber ever.

The thor ban hammer on the bicep and the word BAN in celtic font as tramp stamp.
Admiral Chief Groot Wors
July 2, 2013 at 12:03
Nay on the tramp stamp, a thousand times nay!
And the bicep might work better than the ‘other’ place I had in mind.
(think banhammer wife)
HvR
July 2, 2013 at 12:13
aaaaahhh, I would’ve actually enjoyed (actually ROFL) you ION with a BAN tramp stamp.
You can always go for this..
Admiral Chief Groot Wors
July 2, 2013 at 12:16
Don’t let Darryn or Geoff see this. They would freak out.
Also trampstamp on a dude is just damn wrong.

Did no one else spot that not only is it supposed to be ‘to’ in the title, but the last word of the article is supposed to be ‘too’. Great balance.

“Joining Battlefield 3 this month is Jet Set Radio and Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee HD.”
Those are the US titles.
The EU (and SA) titles are Battlefield 3, Saints Row: The Third and Payday: The Heist.
CaptainNemo42
July 2, 2013 at 10:25
Gavin, I’m a bit confused, but that is the North American list. I thought we’re getting BF3, Saints Row 3, and Payday: The Heist. With Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus and Unit 13 on PSVITA. That is the EU list and as far as I can remember, we’ve always been the same as the EU people.
Games leaving will be Kingdoms of Amalur, Lord of the Rings: War in the North, The Cave, Rayman Origins (PS Vita) and Coconut Dodge: Revitalised (PS Vita).
And this will only be available from tomorrow (3 July). That is what I know.
Argentil
July 2, 2013 at 10:26
PSN update is on the 4th I think, but you’re correct otherwise. We’ll be getting the EU selection (which is better imo). Keen for Payday and Ninja Gaiden.
CaptainNemo42
July 2, 2013 at 10:29
I got the 3rd as the date, but what is a day between friends, I’m still fighting my current PSN+ induced backlog.
CaptainNemo42
July 2, 2013 at 10:31
And yeah, we get a much better deal than the Mericans. I can’t wait for Saints Row 3 (haven’t played it yet) and since I got a VITA, Ninja Gainden is also looking pretty good.
Gavin Mannion
July 2, 2013 at 15:20
well bugger.. hey a least we are still getting BF3 though.
You can see I’m relatively new to PSN+
CaptainNemo42
July 2, 2013 at 16:17
It’s okay, I was just worried there for a moment. Because I’m really looking forward to Saints Row.

As am I. Got PSN+ last night actuallly. And I can’t seem to find any definitive solutions. I am gonna try stacking ctr and hoping one of the downloads works.
CaptainNemo42
July 2, 2013 at 11:16
You can try putting your PS3 in DMZ mode. I had some issues a while back in trying to find matches in Online play.
This guide is an easy solution and pretty simple
http://bit.ly/161im3r
Also, try changing your DNS settings on both your router and PS3. Try the Google Public DNS: Primary – 8.8.8.8, Secondary – 8.8.4.4
Hope it helps.
