EU PlayStation Store update 9th Feb
Stacking! Plants vs. Zombies! Explodemon!
Today, PlayStation Plus comes of age. Free to subscribers are Tim Schafer's potentially fantastic downloadable Russian doll game Stacking (usually £9), and a Killzone 3 single-player demo.
Eurogamer's Stacking review is in the works, by the way. It'll be with you by tomorrow lunch time. Stacking offers a free trial, incidentally.
For everybody else, the PlayStation Store cupboards are heaving with content.
DC Universe 90-day subs are discounted as the game approaches its scary 'will people pay to play or won't they' second month, and a horde of PlayStation minis have been reduced to a quid.
PopCap's brilliant Plants vs. Zombies arrives today with a free trial, and Explodemon! finally bursts onto the PlayStation Store.
There are demos for recommended racing rental Nail'd and Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll, a PS3-exclusive made by the Dynasty Warriors team.
Stacking.

As for Stacking, I've been looking forward to that since it was announced so I'll be all over it once the store updates.

Getting hold of Killzone 3 SP demo a week early and Tim Schafer's £9 game for free, and now looking at XBL Gold's account and 1200 msp for same game Stacking.
I m sure many others multi platform owners will too and be silly to cough up 1200 msp when free if also a PS+ subscriber.
Though I m still mainly using XBL for online games and PS+ now looks to be mainly useful for other stuff than online gaming, ie discounts, freebies and those extra features like automatic patching or forthcoming cloud savings!

so, you know how many people have signed up for ps+? why dont you share the numbers then ?
and in general xbla gold and ps+ are very different services (the differences were often explained here)

@ Murton: I am one of those who don't see much in PS+ beyond an expensive rental service. If you find it profitable, fair enough. It's up to each one of us to decide what is good or bad value for our money.

Yes it was bait, very poor bait, but it caught a bite in seconds from yourself so it worked. Ho hum!
And yes, although the PS3 is in last place (by about 2 million sales worldwide ) the 360 was released a whole year ahead of the PS3. So the PS3 has sold nearly as many as the 360 but in much lesser time, so what i said wasnt strictly true at the moment, however you can bet it will be by the end of this generations cycle. Now run along fan boy, stop biting

Does that mean on Xbox, the live fee allows you to "rent" the online content you already bought on your game disk, cos if you stop paying the live fee they take that content away from you?
Comment below viewing threshold Show
None the less, the 360 is fully on course to end this generation in last place, sorry to upset you but your blinding fanboism is an absolute embarrasment to yourself and your family and i can almost guarantee your a bed wetter! Now go back to scribbling 'Halo rulez' on your school desk

Ok I will, I think I'll stick Uncharted 2 on.

And if we're going to play that game. PS3 has more exclusives by far, all of which are 720p or higher compared to 360 which has mostly sub-HD exclusives, PS3 games have higher metacritic scores than 360 even when counting multiplat, PS3 games get additional on disc content like Frontline and Extraction, and where the developer makes use of it: PS3 supports keyboard and mouse control in games, supports in-game screenshots and video capture including upload to youtube need I list more gaming features unique to the PS3?
Oh and the most important gaming feature of all, doesn't require you to pay additional fees to access the multiplayer content that you already bought and paid for.
If you're going to troll, then at least be factual or entertaining, otherwise you're just being a nuisance.
Re: indie development, I'd love to buy Explodemon, PvZ and About a Blob and support these guys, but they're all taking the piss with their prices to be frank. I have no doubt that these are good games, but together they cost almost as much as KZ3 or Bulletstorm and I can't help but think that the blockbusters probably represent better value in the long term.

If you spent as much time working on your kissing technique as you spend writing lists, you would be a God among the ladies down your local school disco.
But hey, everyone chooses their own path, right? As you were.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Sorry, but your online experience is no better. You're paying 40 quid a year to play the same way we do for free. On the publisher's dedicated server or p2p. Why should anyone pay 40 quid a year to host their own multiplayer game? Especially considering that they already paid for that multiplayer content when they bought the game.
Shame that EG has to rely on flamebait and fanboy wars to maintain its hit count and advertising revenue really. Some moderation would be really welcome around here.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Nobody has come on here and been a Sony fanboy! Infact noboby else, thank god, can be arsed, making up lists of why the 360 or PS3 is 'da best man' apart from you, you shitty little arse wipe! When your grown up you will realise you dont have to argue and justify every purchase you make, its kind of the same reason you dont see grown men squaring up and throwing down fisticuffs in the supermarket because one bought Nescafe and the other bought Gold Blend! You have embarrased yourself no end today young man
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Also... lolnoodles, I don't care about any of those top 5 features you say everyone is demanding. Sure, xbox has backwards compatibility, but it's kind of crappy (And does not play toejam and earl 3). but I have an xbox for that, same as I have a PS2 for ps2 stuff (The delay with hdtv for games like amplitude and frequency make the games unplayable so PS3 backwards compatibility sucks too)
My playstation is used for importing new titles, Having a much wider genre of games available compared to the 360 and a blu ray player. Consider the top titles to come out this year for the 360, it's terrible compared the the diverse range Sony is offering. The only thing I do agree with you on, is that the 360 can run multi platform titles better than Sony, Bayonetta as an example

Something that does occur to me though, if the 360 is so great and he likes playing on it so much, why has he spent the entire afternoon trolling this thread? Wonder if it has anything to do with that other great feature of the 360, that 60+ percent failure rate.
So long Noobles. Have fun

How about this fact?
As that scientific method demonstrates, Xbox got its ass handed over by Colecovision.
Colecovision is da shit! Xbox360 and PS3 are jokes.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
I've just looked it up and the PS3 has more exclusives than the 360 by about a dozen. This is because PS3 retail exclusives are only available on the PS3 while almost half of 360 "exclusives" are also available on the PC. If you want you can count the XBLA titles that aren't on PC to boost your count but then we'll have to count PSN games, PSOne Classics and Mini's too and the PS3 will still have more true exclusives. It's a fact, and you can't argue with facts apparently, although you have throughout this thread and much of your post history it seems.
I also think you need to go back to Metacritic which clearly shows a lead to PS3 games in review scores. Click up all of the exclusives this gen, you'll see the pattern pretty quickly.
But the reason that I'm departing from this thread is simply because it's pointless trying to debate with a child such as yourself. You won't accept any points made by the many rational people who have commented here and just continue to bang out lists of stuff that nobody really cares about. It's sad really and any other gaming website would have deleted your BS posts and banned you and your IP address long before now. But as I said earlier, EG lives purely off of advertising revenue and people like you are good at keeping their hit counts up on slow news days such as this one.
Now if you don't mind, the store has updated so I'm off to play Stacking. I'll leave you to your trolling.

I seriously doubt you have 8 friends. Also first play isn't charged for by Sony it's a service owned by future publishing. But of course you would have known that given your extensive research you plank.

Also, Stacking free for Plus, blooming awesome.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
I'm not sure what your needs are - but here's what you get with PSN and PSN+. As you probably know, online play is free on PSN, so what PSN+ offers new is a substantial number of discounts on PSN games/themes/avatars, free PSN games/themes/avatars, priority on certain games demos, and (at least for US), free Qore content(not tried Qore though).
I had spent $ 50 on a year's worth of PS+ in August. In the 6 months since then, I've gotten almost $ 40-45 worth of free content that I've actually downloaded, not counting another probably hundred dollars worth of free content that I already have and/or was not interested in and so did not download. From that perspective, for me, PS+ is an investment in which I have actually recovered more money than I spent. And the year is only half-finished. Another 6 months of free content to go.

To my brothers on XBL Gold (I only have a Silver account now), my sympathies for having to share your online space with an Australopithecus like lolnoodles.

Shouldn't you have been at school at the time of your posts, what with you clearly being a 12 year old? PS3 sucks, 360 rules, we get it. They clearly haven't taught you about being succinct yet.
Stacking looks like fun, might investigate it (and i salute Double Fine for another cool looking oddity).
Also chaps, Clipper tea is the best, in my humble opinion.
