You cannot use PS+ content unless you renew your subscription.

Makes sense. It'll keep people from getting every PSone Classic in the Store.

[AnAsianKid]

Actually I heard CERTAIN things you'll keep

Probably themes and avatars, they're pretty cheap, and I don't think they can stop you from using a theme.

[solidstudios]

do you automatically get the 3 free months? or do you have to sign up, THEN get the 3 months free?

Not sure, but you most likely have to subscribe like you normally would.

Lmbao @ PSN+ being A Bi-Weekly update now.
PS Blog confirmed this ; now it will be every other week?
On Aug.10th, PSN+ members will receive a Red Faction Guerilla hour long trial and early access to Pixel Junk Racers: Second Lap.
Also, this is the last week to receive the free games or discounted game? Fieldrunners for example will no longer be free on the 10th.
PSN+ is for fucking fools. No offense.

Too bad the PS3 doesn't have a feature that lets you delete messages.

If you go at the message box and press Δ there will be an option to delete the messages.

What did you expect? For them to keep all the old content? If they did, the entire Playstation Store would eventually be up there. I'm sure that you can get all that you wanted from there in the time they give you to do so.

[Zillah]

But for 50 bucks? Don't make excuses for Sony.

[SlySonji™]

I'm not making excuses. You wasted $50 right? If you have actually USED Plus, you have probably saved over $75.

[Gutzahn]

My LBP-KEY ARRIVED HELL YEAH!!!!

[SlySonji™]

Congratulations?

[xxDEATH METALxx]

Can someone explain to me what this whole thing is all about?

Im confused if i pay the £39.99, do i get all the discounts and PSN games straight away. Or do you have to register elsewhere?

[Angelus the Wraith]

I'm not making excuses. You wasted $50 right? If you have actually USED Plus, you have probably saved over $75.

I saved about $25 in stuff I keep and stuff I'll only use once (Qore, Trial). That`s in one month. So if I keep it up for the next 2 months, I`ll have saved about $75, all that for free

PS. Zillah`s points have been Negated by Sonji.

I give him an hour to come back and say something that doesn't negate my point but will be negated anyways. According to Zillah of course.

Yeah. I will. I give you a hour to defend Sony.
Anyways, what if you don't buy every game because you don't wanna play games 24/7.
Sony is messing up by doing this only for gameheads who buy all the PSN products.

That is what Playstation Plus was made for.

It is for content, not features.

If you don't buy every game because you don't play 24/7 you need to get a life.

Jeez, Zillah... Thinking is an art, you are far from an artist.
