Playstation Plus

[Haggisman]

There is a separate PS+ announcement tomorrow. Rumours are the free game will be Just Cause 2 or Borderlands.

*fingers crossed* would be very happy with either of those =D

just saw that in the comments section, hopefully Borderlands, even though i played it to death on the 360

 

[Broken Hope]

It's Borderlands and Just Cause 2, they are showing up under instant game collection now.

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.

 

[ZXSpectrum]

LOL Awe... some..

Gulp.. Gonna need a bigger hdd soon.. Wonder if those 2Tb WD Green 2.5" will fit and work.. Hummmmm...

The Borderlands DLC is not included but is available at 50% discount. General Knoxx is the only one worth having really anyway.

 

[Broken Hope]

I was looking into at least a 500GB hard drive for my PS3, only got 33GB free now, though I don't install everything, I just make sure to activate anything free from Plus so I don't lose out on it if I want to play it later.

 

[JDR82]

Already have platinum's for both Just Cause 2 and Borderlands but again still have plenty to play from previous freebies, for anyone who has neither of those games its a good month for them

 

[Haggisman]

Bootiful =D Completed Borderlands on PC, but no longer have a computer that will run it. Does anyone know if JC2 disc saves will work with the PSN version?

Unlikely. Digital PSN versions have different product codes than the BD versions.

 

[Haggisman]

Bah, hopefully I can get it working with the same trick as Infamous

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.

So wait, you now get 14 games not 12 at the moment, damn thats excellent value.

Not sure I can hold out till september for the 25% discount.. I would like some new games to play as bored of Batman and GT5 lol

will any 2.5' drive work, or only specific models?

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

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

 

[Haggisman]

Any point in sticking a SSD in the PS3 (will it even work?) (yes I know there's probably a thread on this already *goes to look*)

Eurogamer did some tests with an SSD, think the results were quicker install times but it didn't help with performance in the game its self.. Or did it? Can't remember

Ah ha, found it, here you go have a read...
