Newb questions, just purchsed a PS3

[Ali195]

Purchsed a slim 500GB+GTA V on Friday but not owned a console since PS2. This PS Network looks intetesting, charging a few quid a month gives me access to loads of fulls games?

Is it worth subscribing to this service, just for the games or should i not bother considering i will never play online?

I spotted an Uncharted game (a co-worker said the series is his fav game of all time) & the recent Farcry. Looks like it's worth a look. Will crack on with GTA V then buy into the plus network.

Gave my PC away after moving into my gf's place (no room for the giant tower+24" screen) and realised i was spending ridiculous money on micro-tranactions with tablet gaming.


Do the games rotate every month? And if so, will Sony uninstall them automatically. Will i only have a month to play a game?

the games rotate every month on certain days.

like PS3 games on the 5th, VITA games on the 20th, etc.

you need to actually buy and checkout the games for free manually, then they will be added to your catalogue, then you can choose to download and play them or leave them for later.

once you have bought a psn+ free game, it's yours to keep forever but you can only play it once you have an active psn+ sub.

therefore you can play far cry forever so long as you have an active sub, but say you wanted red dead redemption which came out months ago whilst you never had a sub, you cant get it for free, you missed out on it forever.

therefore i would say this late in the game, it's pointless buying a psn+ sub tbh, unless your going to go ps4 or get a vita as well.

Interesting, half the good games will be cheap online now, although i'm used to Steam/PC prices. I would be tempted by PS4 but will wait until it's been out for a while & the games come....would really need a GTA/Skyrim sandbox type game to make me invest in PS4. Many thanks for the advice
