James Thorpe has revealed some exclusive extras for PlayStation Plus members, which includes early access to buy PS One classic Tomb Raider this coming Monday.
To quote: Hi Guys, as
promised we have some little mid month exclusive extras for all you Plus members.
I'm sure you will have already seen the Mafia 2 demo in the Plus section from Tuesday. Hopefully you are all enjoying it and are eagerly awaiting the full Blu-ray Disc game coming later this month.
Wednesday saw the launch of Pixel Junk Racers '2nd Lap', exclusively for Plus members, 2 weeks before the actual release date. If you already have Pixel Junk Racer then this new version of the game with added extras is totally free to download.
And if you haven't experienced the mayhem yet, then you can download this new version of the game with a Plus member-only, exclusive, 20% discount - well worth a try.
And finally, after the weekend we will be dropping another little treat into the Plus section. On Monday Plus members will have exclusive early access to buy the PS One cult classic Tomb Raider; two weeks before it goes live to the rest of PlayStation Store. Enjoy exploring, fighting and puzzle solving with the original Lara Croft.
Wherever we can, we are trying to get early demos and exclusive content for Plus members and this is by no means the end of these little mid month treats that you have requested, so keep an eye out for more.
I tried adding game_bg_overlay=0 to the config.bin file but that didn't work either. There used to be a view mode called "Game list (user backgro...
Seriously, you can probably get that game on disc cheaper than paying for Plus subscription which you cannot get out of until the end of the term.
Plus early access to demo and lame free games are not really worth it.
Aside from the full download of LBP and Infamous (both of which I own anyway), I haven't seen anything worth the money it costs.
I believe Sony was hinting at Cross Game chat before this year's E3.
Out of all that Playstation Plus members have gotten, that original Tomb Raider is the only thing that caught my interest. But not enough to get it since I still own the original PS1 disc along with many other great US & Japanese PS1 & PS2 disc games. Everyone has their opinion of what they like & dislike of all these games. The library of games that come forth onto a Sony console today are definately not what they used to be.
There are still many titles for PS3 that I have enjoyed since the launch of the console. Many developers for certain game companies who made a lot of PS1 & PS2 titles a huge success back then either don't work for the companies anymore these days or have switched to other companies leaving the latest game sequels lacking what gamers enjoyed in the past.
Cross Game Chat will never come, that's what they said.
