  • :( I actually bought first light few months back and never get to play it until now.

    • +6

      traded my in at EB as soon as I heard for $12 :-P

  • Isn't there supposed to be a 10% discount now on the purchase of PS+ membership?

    • +1

      The 10% discount doesn't work for PS+.

      • where does it say it doesnt work for PS+ subscription? doesnt it say for anything in your shopping cart?

        • +1

          I dont think PS+ goes in your shopping cart, this is the problem. I beleive from last time if send you off somewhere else.

        • britta is correct, PS+ doesn't go in your cart, it goes to a different page.

    • Was hoping to get this before the end of today to get sleeping dogs even cheaper before it goes back up tomorrow.

  • +22

    No offense op, but there's aren't really bargains are they? Just entitlements everyone with a PS subscrition gets every month?) Probably more for the forums.

    • +4

      Agreed. This is only available to people who purchase PS Plus, and one of the main reasons one buys PS Plus is to get access to free games each month.
      To me it's like posting what recent release movies are available to watch on Foxtel as a bargain.

      • +2

        I thought PS+ was also a requisite for mutiplayer on PS4s?

        • +1

          Hence why I said one of the main reasons.

    • True, I guess this should be moved to the forums.

    • +11

      Why do people always seem to complain about the PS+ posts, but never about the Games with Gold posts?

      • +3

        PS4 has been selling too well. It's our duty to help Xbox sales?

      • -5

        It just proves which platform have a better fanbase :)

        • +1

          See the amount of negs? proved my point :)

      • -7

        Becuase games with gold on 360 are actually free and not rentals. That's why they are allowed and these aren't

        • +8

          360 yes, but XB1 games are not free to keep.

          PS+ and Games with Gold are both technically targeted offers as they are only available for subscribers. If one of them belongs in the forums then so does the other.

        • +2

          They aren't free, you still paid for them through the subscription. It's just that you get to keep them when the subscription expires.

        • @Smigit: Not for XB1.

        • @lostn: Correct. I was responding to a post about the 360. Regardless of what service you use if you're paying for the service I think it's a stretch to say the games are free, regardless of the terms around expiration of an account.

        • @Smigit: The games are free to download if you have PS+ and always will be. They are only free to play while subscribed. No one has ever claimed otherwise.

        • Becuase games with gold on 360 are actually free and not rentals

          @lostn: I was referring to the post above stated X360 games are free. They aren't, they're a component of the subscription.

        • @Smigit: If you're getting other things from your subscription, such as online gaming, then there's a lot less to complain about. They didn't always give games with it. Now they do. So they're free. You paid for multiplayer. You got games for free with it.

        • +1

          @lostn:
          They were always giving free games with PS+.

        • @BobbyJ: We were referring to XBL Gold.

        • @lostn:
          Oh, nevermind then.

      i appreciate being alerted when PS+ is updated. continue to post these PS+ related deals.

      • +5

        agree, if we dont get alerted, when the next month rolls over we miss out on these gems!~

        • +2

          If you are signed up to PS+ you get notified in your email.

        • +4

          An alternative is just to sign into the web store each month, add to cart all the PS Plus instant games you want/don't already have (you can claim titles for systems you don't own), checkout for $0 (make sure it's $0!), sign out… then you're done :) You can set a reminder in your calendar if you don't think you'll remember.

          A list of past and present Instant Games is kept updated here

        • @colaman:

          i am yet to be notified via email.

          ill review above steps. thanks!

        • +2

          @colaman: That is if you regularly check your e-mail (I personally look at ozB way more than I do my E-Mail)

          and this may entice some people to sign up if they were waiting till they had more time to play online like me, I don't think it's a big deal that once a month there is a post highlighting the "rent" or free games you get with PSN+ and XBL respectively.

          I really don't think it's hurting anyone to have one extra post that to get on the main page needs to be upvoted by enough people anyway

        • @colaman: I've never been notified by email either.

  • Anyone else have login failed issues? Is PSN fubar again? or is this just personal? :o

    • I haven't tried logging in to consoles but the web store is working at the moment.

      • Lol, personal I thought then (trying web).
        Now get 'Site Not Available'. Awesome, Sony!

        • web store loading fine? Browsing for discounts now

  • Doesn't beat the Dark souls 2 sale $19.95 and MGS ground zeroes at US PSN flash sale for $6

    I don't see much value with PSN subscription anymore

    • +1

      Not if you own a PS4 and want to play online

      • They made PSN+ compulsory for PS4 to play online. To this date I think its ridiculous. Holding on ps3 until it dies

        • They need the money to improve servers.

  • +2

    Isn't there a new set of free games that come out every month if you have PS+ (actually it isn't really free, you pay for it as part of your subsciption cost). How is this different from any other month? This can't be considered a bargain. Belongs in the forums.

    • If you want this game's specific freebies, sorry "freebies", this is the only month you can get them.

      If you're just after any "freebies" at all, then it would be in the forums.

  • All in for the Duke.

  • +6

    These deals are useful for people like me, who have let their subscription expire want want to wait for a good time to renew it. Thanks OP

    • -3

      Oh, this OZAlert now. Cool.

      • Been too many debate over this and the mods already accept it as a deal, you can report all you want but this won't go anywhere.

  • Tried to click on a game, and I got

    Page Not Found
    It's not you, it's the Internet's fault.

    • You're likely still signed into the US store. Just sign into the AU store and try the link again.

      • I'm a US store customer, so I can't. I was trying it with the US store actually. I don't have an account on the AU store (because I don't want to pay aussie tax).

        I thought that error message was what the hackers put in place when they took down the network.

        • Nope, that's just the standard error message when you try to view content whilst logged into another store. They should actually tell people to log into the correct store and now that silly message

  • +1

    Worth it just for The Swapper.

    • Worth what? Just out of curiosity.

      • +1

        The cost of psn subscription

        • Agret gets the cookie!

  • +2

    You don't even need to pay for PS Plus to get its benefits. Just create a new account, activate the console as its primary system and claim the 14 day free trial (credit card required, you can cancel automatic subscription immediately). Enjoy your free games (and online multiplayer) via your main account for up to 42 days if you repeat it 3 times during the month. Unfortunately, Xbox owners can only do this 3 times per console.

    • 14 day free trial is a one-off, after you get your first PS+ Sub, the trial becomes unavailable.

      • +1

        You can create unlimited new accounts and play via your main account. I've been doing this for months.

        • But you'll always lose access to the previous months content etc.

        • +2

          True, that's the downside. But you've got plenty of time to finish them (mostly short indie games on PS4 so far) and at the very least, you get free multiplayer.

        • +3

          this is the most retarded loophole ive ever heard someone use.
          what if you wanted to replay all of those games? you'd have to buy plus on every single account.
          it really isn't that expensive just to sub for a year on one account and tie all the games to one account.

        • +6

          Of course, I completely agree… IF you want to replay them. I tend to finish all my retail games within several weeks of buying them and sell them used for the nearly the same price. If I'm not going to replay these, why pay for something I don't need? Its not retarded, its saving money, this is a website about saving money, isn't it?

          Besides, with a subscription, you're still renting them anyway. The minute you stop paying (unless you intend to pay for the rest of your life) or Sony stops supporting your console, you lose everything. On the other hand, if you do this and buy the odd PS Plus game you want to keep, its yours forever.

          Anyway, I'm off to enjoy online multiplayer and get a platinum trophy on Infamous First Light and The Swapper with my account for free. If that makes me retarded, then so be it.

        • +2

          It sounds like it would work, wouldn't this require many e-mail addresses though?

  • for anyone that isnt going to pick up the swapper for free… DO IT! i've put aside all my AAAs and have been playing this nonstop. it's awesome.

    on a side note, really not that impressed by infamous.

    • Started playing swapper last night, great puzzle game… already stuck :/

    • I have like, 3 copies of Swapper already but I have not played it at all. GOG copy, Steam copy, now PS copy :(

      • Play it! Played for a few hours last night.. it's hard man
