PlayStation®3 Technical Help

[Pipu8]

I'm a PS+ member, and I downloaded inFamous2 for free around 5 days ago. I've been playing it everyday since then, but just recently, it started to expire. I think it might be because I'm not logged in because of non PS network-related problems. I still think this shouldn't happen.

When I press triangle above inFamous 2 and select "info" it says the game lasts until my PS+ subscription ends, which is well after end of the year. But I keep getting the expiring warning in the top right corner. It was 15 minutes just moments ago, so now it should have expired. Actually, I just realized I also finished installing the free PS+ version of Motorstorm apocalypse just when the expiring warnings started popping out. 

According to the warnings, the game should have expired already. I went to check, but I see no signs of neither of the games having expired. 

I think it's just the message popping out, but it would be nice to get an explanation for this.

I think you have to be signed in when playing PS+ games so it knows not to expire, or something.

If you download a PS Plus freebie then it will only expire when you're not a PS Plus member.

The messages in the top right corner saying "15mins left" sound like the same messages you get in a 60-minute trial version of the game. Are you sure you haven't downloaded that instead?

Play for the hour so they expire. Visit the store and reselect the download. Don't actually download it again. That should clear the trial flag.
