PSN + Who's getting it/Wants it and PSN + discussion

So yeah, I just noticed DJ had a sig that he's a nice new PSN + member. So I figured, I'm definitely on the fence on this. First off, multiplayer is NOT a make or break feature for me on games. Having grown up with local multiplayer where your friend sat beside you with another controller was all I needed. So now PSn + is out, I know it has premium stuff like avatars, demos and access to betas and things like that. So aside from Deej, anyone else going to get it? Anyone else on the fence like me?

Or, if you do have it, give us some feedback. Lets us know if you feel its worth your money/subsciption.

Yeah, we could start a separate thread I suppose, so we leave Dj's on firmware and updates for only firmware and updates. I am quoting his current OP ( i think it is copied from PS), though, because it has quite a lot of info on this:

Firmware Update

UPDATE: Thanks for all of the feedback. Just a
quick update, 3.40 has been released. In addition, PlayStation Plus is
now available in the PlayStation Store.
We’re thrilled to hear that many of you are excited about the five
star rating feature. This feature is retroactive for all of your
PlayStation Store activity, so you can jump into the store right now and
start rating all of your past purchases. Look for a “Rate” button on
the product pages.
The PSN App on Facebook is also live. You can find it here: http://apps.facebook.com/playstation.

Hi everyone, once again we’re adding new features to the PlayStation
3 (PS3) system via firmware
update to ensure we’re bringing you the best, most comprehensive
entertainment experience possible. PS3 system software update (v3.40)
will be available soon, adding the PlayStation
Plus subscription, enhancements to the connection between your
PlayStation Network and Facebook
accounts and more. Additionally, we’ll be launching system software
update (v6.30) for the PSP
(PlayStation Portable) system simultaneously with PS3 system software
update (v3.40), adding PlayStation Plus compatibility as well as other
new features.
We’ve gone ahead and provided a few highlights from PS3 firmware
update (v3.40) below:

PlayStation Plus: PlayStation Network users will be
able to purchase membership to PlayStation
Plus; a new subscription service on the PlayStation Network that
provides you with new options to expand and enhance your gaming
experience and enable you to gain an exclusive set of features and
content. Friendly reminder, all of you PlayStation Network users will
continue to have free access to PlayStation Network’s unmatched and
expanding suite of new and exclusive features while PlayStation Plus
subscribers will gain access to an exclusive and expanding set of gaming
features, content and functionality.
Photo Gallery: A new network based photo sharing
feature is now available on the Photo Gallery. The enhancement allows
you to upload, browse and comment on photos on Facebook
and Picasa
Web Album. You can also opt to share your photos between your
PlayStation Network friends as well as print photos from Photo Gallery.
Video Editor & Uploader: Video Editor and
Uploader is a new function found on the XrossMediaBar (XMB), which
enables you to edit, save and upload video files stored on the PS3
system to sites such as Facebook or YouTube.
Five Star Rating Support: Users can rate the
PlayStation Store content they have purchased with one to five star
ratings.
Power Save Settings: The default setting for PS3
System Auto-Off will be set at 2 hours, providing you with additional
power save options and further improving power save features on the PS3
system.

In addition to the latest features introduced in PS3 system software
update (v3.40), a separate, new PlayStation Network application on
Facebook.com will be made available. This builds upon what was
previously launched with Trophies and the ability to publish purchases
from the PlayStation Store. Now you can further integrate your
PlayStation Network and Facebook accounts with this new application.
The application allows you to display your PlayStation Network profile
on your Facebook account, find out which of your Facebook friends have a
PSN account and send them a PlayStation Network friend request, view
your PSN friends’ online status and add the PlayStation Network
application tab to your Facebook user profile.

We’re very excited to be able to provide you with continued system
software upgrades, which ensure your PS3 and PSP systems remain
compelling offerings for years to come. For more details and
instructions on how to update the system software for the PS3 and PSP
systems, please visit http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Features/SystemUpdate
and http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/psp/.

Let us know your thoughts. Enjoy!

I am not getting it so far, I don't usually download extra mini games, I have to see something else that I might want and works out cheaper that way. Thinking

I think you get half price off regular DLC as well. Have to look into it further. You got the Dragon Age Add ons?

I think I will pick it up myself next week, Nothing really else coming out for a while to spend my budget on so might as well try this out. Same cost as a game and EU users get Little Big Planet for free (Throughout the subscription anyway)

I know, no good games coming up till end of august i think. This years' first few months had one great title after another releasing, ending with RDR. All of sudden there is a sudden dry spell.

And Regarding PS+, i am not sure yet. Will wait and watch

Seventh Nation Nation Reputation: -1

buy PSN+ before August
EU gets LBP for FREE ( you keep it to)
NA gets 3 free extra months

edited i DL over $70 of free stuff when PSN+ went live

every month i know i will get 2 mini games 1 PSONE game and a episode of Qore
few avatars and themes all free

I'll probably wait on this. Yes, the offers are tempting, but there just isn't enough right now to make it seem like a worthy thing for my money.

As it's not available to us Europeans, it's hardly a selling point for PSN+

I may take up the three month option first to see if it has any uses for me, and then if I don't want it I'll only be at the loss of €14.99. If it is worth it I can then subscribe for the year, still only at the loss of the original €14.99.
