To be honest, I've known quite a few people say that PSN+ has become the better value service. You get online gaming for free, as it should be. And you get a crap tonne of free games monthly aslong as you stay subscribed. I cant imagine Sony wish they could have gone the way of XBox live and charge for online play atall. PSN+ would have been great and no doubt it would have been more detrimental to who owns the biggest market share if it was out from day one on PS3. But keep in mind Sonys online offerings were behind Microsofts in the beginning, due to the original xbox having live. I would essentially say PSN+ is now whats closed the generational gap. ANd it'll be offered from day 1 on the next console. Maybe we'll get party chat too :p

only problem i see is, what do they do when PS4 arrives?. their will be no back catalogue to delve into , so they will have to either think of something else or drop their prices and follow Microsofts XBL route.

Re the Dead Space 2 saves... if you have a save from the retail version and your PSN version copy them to a USB stick at look at the folder structure on a computer. They probably have different folder names, you could try copying the content from within the retail saves folder into the PSN saves folder and it'll probably work... it may disable trophies though.

i'll give that a try, nice suggestion, cheers.

Has Borderlands ever been up on offer? I want to buy it and give it a playthrough before Borderlands 2 comes out but you can bet your bottom dollar if I buy it, it will go on offer or be given free as part of the instant game thing.

there is a higher chance of it being on PS+ being that its already on the marketplace and has a sequel just around the corner, but you just never know

Sony At Gamescom 2012 – All The Announcements
Countries: AE, AU, GB, IE, NZ


If you’ve been watching our live stream you’ll know that Sony’s gamescom 2012 press conference in Cologne, Germany has just come to a close. There were plenty of big announcements to take in, so, in the interest of putting everything tidily in one place, here’s a comprehensive rundown of all the news.
We’ve also got individual posts from many of the developers concerned – please follow the links below to learn more about the games in question. And, of course, we’ll be going into more detail on all these titles later this week and into next, right here on PlayStation Blog.
So, without further ado:
Brand new titles:

LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule took the lid of its keenly anticipated new project: Vita title Tearaway. See our dedicated post from the Guildford, UK studio for a closer look.

Puppeteer is on its way to PlayStation 3 from Sony’s Japan Studios. Developer Gavin Moore introduces this charming, eccentric platformer below.

Looking for a PlayStation 3 teen horror fix? Move-enabled spine-tingler Until Dawn is incoming from Supermassive Games – let the game’s Executive Creative Director Will Byles tell you more.


Also coming out of Sony’s Japan Studio, Rain is a dark, atmospheric and breathtakingly stylish new PSN title. We’ll be talking much more about this game in the coming months.

We offered up your first glimpse of Killzone: Mercenary for PS Vita. Read more from developer Guerrilla Games here.

Vita Cross-Buy:
As of later this year, buy either the PlayStation 3 or PS Vita version of a compatible game and you’ll be able to download the other at no additional cost. PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale, Ratchet & Clack: QForce (yes, that’s now a Vita title too) and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time are the first games confirmed to support this new feature.

PS One Classics on PS Vita:
Yes, you’ve been asking for it! From 28th August you’ll be able to play select PSOne titles on your Vita. Titles confirmed so far: Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil 2.

New PS Vita firmware
Vita firmware 1.8 is on its way. See our dedicated post for full details of what to expect.
New characters showcased for PlayStation All-Stars:

A few new additions to the brawler’s burgeoning roster for you: Sackboy, Dante from Devil May Cry, Spike from Ape Escape, and Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank. See our post from developer SuperBot to find out more.
New trailer for The Last Of Us:
Check it out below!

God of War: Ascension:
There’s a multiplayer beta incoming for Kratos’ latest PlayStation 3 adventure, and a brand new trailer to wrap your eyes around.
Wonderbook:
After E3′s Book of Spells reveal, it was the turn of stylish detective caper Diggs Nightcrawler – from Oscar-winning studio Moonbot – to take the spotlight.
We also revealed two new partners who are working on Wonderbook projects. BBC Worldwide is bringing Walking with Dinosaurs to the platform, with The Muppets and Toy Story coming from Disney.
PS3 Essentials:
Later this year we’re launching a new line of high quality catalogue titles at a reduced price of €19.99. Stay tuned for details of the first wave of releases.
New PS Vita bundles
As well as the Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation bundle announced at E3 earlier this year, we’ve a number of other hardware packs incoming, including LittleBigPlanet Vita, PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale and Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified sets.
PlayStation Mobile:
PlayStation Mobile launches this Autumn across a variety of PlayStation devices. A number of titles were confirmed for the service during the conference, including Super Crate Box, Aqua Kitty, Samurai Beatdown, Passing Time, BeatSlider and Flick Hockey.
PlayStation Plus:


PS Plus is coming soon to PS Vita. This is an addition to subscribers’ existing membership and comes at no additional cost.
Your PS Plus cloud storage limit has been raised to 1GB.

Rockstar’s peerless Western epic Red Dead Redemption joins the Instant Game Collection line-up next month.
Lunatic Sega platformer Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit will be October’s Game of the Month.

If you’ve come to this post straight from the conference, we’ve got a fantastic panel event kicking off at 20.45 CET/19.45 BST/04.40 Sydney. Some of the biggest names in game development are joining us to chew over the ‘games as art’ debate.

It will stream live below – please enjoy!

Heads-Up’ Game Store Update 15 August 2012

Countries: AE, AU, GB, IE, NZ

Play through a series of beautiful levels, where sounds and shapes seamlessly mesh together to create an unforgettable platforming experience. You can even create your own levels by building environments and choosing enemies and obstacles – and compose your own music at the same time.
Can you shape the perfect blend of sound and gameplay?
The great folks at monkeypawgames have once again provided. This time bringing the much asked for PSOne title, Alundra!

Between the worlds of light and dark lies the world of dreams. A world where the rule of reason loosens its grip. A place where an insidious evil is stealing minds and blackening the hearts of those from the world of light.
We’ve also got a demo for the Hong Kong action movie inspired, Sleeping Dogs and a brand new demo of the excellent Dragon’s Dogma, where you can import your demo’s customised character to the full game.
Don’t forget the Summer Sale continues on with some great new additions so check that out here.
For our PS Plus consumers, Ross’ post will be up tomorrow so please look forward to that.

Yay! My wish came true! Now I can play Borderlands on PS3 and pick Borderlands 2 up in September instead of on Xbox as my gold sub has run out and I don't feel the need to renew it when Sony are being so kind to us. LOL.

was thinking the very same

edit

crazy the amount of content we are getting right now. nowhere near enough time to play through them all, and RDR to look forward too in a couple of weeks.

I used a Western Digital Blue I think it was, you have to be careful with the height? 9.5mm or something, some 2.5" drives can be 11mm and it can be a bit of a tight fit??

I use a 500GB and its hardly got anything on it apart from GT5 install files lol PS+ will soon see that filled from the looks of it..

This one

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-349-WD&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=896

Cheap enough, think I paid twice that when I got mine which was a while ago now.
