My subscription doesnt run out until sept. Not had chance to play it anymore to see if it happens again.

Sorry I think I misread your post. I read that the expiry dates matched up (ie when the game stopped working). I see what you're saying now.

Haven't experienced that problem before, sorry.

Many apologies if this has been asked already but I didn't want to wade through 17 pages of replies, if my subscription lapses for a while and I subsequently re-subscribe would I lose all the games I had previously downloaded whilst being a subscriber?

if you re-sub you would be able to access everything that you had when you were a subscriber and everything going forward from that point. You wouldn't have access to anything between subscriptions though.

edit, not sure that made sense, to your question, No you would regain access to that content once you re-subscribed.

It worked for me. When we got a free month of PS+ after PSN was down 2 years ago, I had streets or rage 2 as a free game. When I re-subbed a just as PS+ got very good, I was able to play it again.

Perfect, thanks

Are new subscribers able to download past free games?

Afraid not. You only get the games from the current month and the Instant Game Collection.

What I've been doing is 'purchasing' but not downloading all the free Vita games that have come up since I signed up for ps+. I don't have a Vita but am thinking of getting one at some point

That's what I had been doing, and then bought one last week...instant games library

I've got a Vita but I'm long passed the point where I would even consider buying a game for it. I know that sounds negative but it's just how it is. I've still got a pile of games to download for it that my 8gb card won't take and a 32gb is just too expensive.

This is what puts me off getting ps plus this generation. Are games ever repeated?

ps3ud0 · 6 Mar 2013 at 16:46

Nope, Ive had PS+ from day one and they havent repeated free games yet

. Actually theres probably some obscure mini/PS1 game they probably have - no proper PS3 titles though

EDIT: Tell a lie, LBP was an incentive to join PS+ at the start but was also one of the free titles used when PSN came back up after being hacked.

ps3ud0 :cool:

Mass effect 3 is up on ps+

mame · 6 Mar 2013 at 16:56

I can see why they wouldn't offer all the past games to new subscribers, it's already almost too good to be true, but I wish I didn't have to click 'buy' on each game. I'm always slightly paranoid I'll miss a game as some of them are only free for a short time.

The games other than ME3 and Dead or Alive 5 are part of the Instant Game Collection as far as I know (which is what everyone gets when they subscribe to Plus, with the exception of God of War HD which is only on temporarily in celebration of Ascension coming out in about a week). So it looks like you've received this month's supply and the IGC

I think it's usually the first Wednesday of the month (or at least the store updates are done on Wednesdays) so the new ones should be up now. They do usually post the dates of new content here on the PS EU Blog.
