Got it!

As soon as i saw the 3.40 update available on Tuesday i rushed straight over to the Playstation store to see if it was up and lo and behold it was there beaming in all its gold cross glory. So i used £39.99 from my PSN wallet (which ive had ready to go for the last week just incase the wallet funding system crashed ;p) and i bought that sucka with no hesitation at all. Exclusive beta’s, exclusive avatars and free dynamic themes aswell as free games yes please!

So ive now had my Playstation plus account for a hot minute it’s nice to know im special for the next year until i have to pay again and i guess only time will really tell weather or not its really worth it (even though im sure it will be)

What’s in the box?

So what do you get? Well first off you get a gold D-Pad nect to your name to show your a Plus subscriber.

The PSN+ deals are different depending on which country you’re in so the best thing to do is pop over to the playstation store and have a look what’s available. also check out the trailer too.

What i do know is while the American 1 year PSN+ suscription gets you 3 extra months of PSN+ over on the other side of the pond the UK PSN+ 1 year subscription gives you a downloadble copy of “Little Big Planet”  to keep forever.

Personally i think it’s worth it. you get all this content with a full year more to come. the PSN Plus free games will update every month meaning you get more than your moneys worth in games and who knows what cool Beta games we will get to play before anyone else. To be honest its the beta’s i want more than anything and i think the Exclusive Avatars and dynamic themes are a nice lettle extra. You also get all your games updates, patches and anything playstation think you should see downloaded to your PS3 for you while you away thanks to the “Automatic Download” feature.

Downloads content such as game patches, system software update data, and video items recommended to you, automaticlly. This system will retsart automaticlly at the scheduled time, and will begin to download.

I already bought Wipreout HD a while back and i have my Little Big Planet platinum trophy so for me there isn’t really much for me this month but some free avatars a couple dynamic themes 2 game trials and some discounts on games and add-ons but for the price of 1 game it’s so worth it.

But i got my gold cross and im a subscriber so BRING ON THOSE BETA’S SONY!

Is PSN+ for you?

I think if your a casual gamer who maybe plays for an hour or 2 a night probably not. If you’re like me on the other hand and clock up a staggering 50 – 100 hours a week you will most probably find it worth investing it. If you’re not sure why not check out the 90 day subscription when you see something you like in the Playstation Plus section of the store.

One thing to remember: you only get to keep PSN Plus downloads as long as your a subscriber to PSN+. UK subscribers who purchase the 1 year subscription before August 3rd  will get to keep LBP forever.

I will blog about this feature again when i have some more news or info to share so yall come back now ya hear.
