noob question

Hello guys,

 

I'm having a very hard time understanding all the rules around PSN+.

I just payed for 90day just to be able to download InFamous2 + Darksider.

 

On PSN+ webpage the only info i find is this:

"You'll always find a minimum of 10 PlayStation Store titles available to download at no extra cost, with at least three titles changed every four weeks."

 

My question is:

1) as i understand Sony offer some new games each month. Will the old games from previous month dissapear from the download list?(above mentions 3 titles changes, does it mean they remove 3 games?)

If so i need to download all the games on HD (although games are quite big).

 

2) if i remove a game due to need of space on HD can i re-download it?

What if the game is not available? (first question)

 

3) how does it work if i buy a new PS3, how do i move all my games? is it possible to download to a new PS3? or must i use backup/restore ?

 

Hopefully someone can help me understand how PSN+ works :smileyhappy:

Please use plain text.

1. As long as you add them to your download list they'll be there until your PS+ sub runs out (and will be added again when you re-new PS+)

 

2. Yes, from the view downloads list.

 

3. When you sign-in on a new PS3, PS+ stuff will be in your download list (Its tied to your account)

1) yes they will remove 3 games next weds as thats the 1st weds of the month & add 3 new games.

 

2) Yes aslong as you have already downloded them they will show up in your download list & you need to have an active plus subscription.

 

3) All you new to do is when setting up a new account it will give you the option of logging into a previous account & then download the games again.

Or the easier way you can use an external drive formatted into fat32 with a backup on & transfer it that way.

Re: noob question

Thank you guys, then its up to me to download the games within 4 weeks if i want them since i wont know which 3 games are removed.

This month had some really nice games so i'm downloading 4-5 games now. Luckily i bought 320Gig so i should be safe for a while :smileyvery-happy:

Not sure if its possible but considering 1 game is 10-15Gig it would be pretty nice if i could save the games i download on external HD and install it later.

By the way why cant i give you guys Kudos or even a thumb up ?

You can always add them anyway & then canel the download as it will still be added to your download list.

If you don't then you run the chance of missing out on 1 or few games they remove being 1's you never got.
