    And that's just the American list of games. We've had Batman: AC, Deus Ex, Dead Space 2 and more as well as most of the above. For £40, I can't really say I've made many better purchases for that price. It's such ridiculously great value, for those that can avail of PS+, don't hesitate. Buy! Buy now!

    For all the games I've played from PS+, I've barely even scratched the surface. My backlog of games is bordering on the obscene. There's simply no way I can finish them all before the PS4 is out.

    One thing I would like to see added is the ability to press a button and the system will update all your games and apps to the latest version. I know automatic update feature does this, but the system isn't truly turned off when that is enabled, which I don't like.

    Have a 365 day UK ps plus sealed, got it as a gift and don't want to bother with a UK one as I already have an Irish one for the next 15 months, don't have an adverts account to put it up on at the moment, I closed it off several weeks ago, anyone wanna swap something for this?

    I'd be interested in that. Haven't got my games list to hand but I'll PM it to you when I get home from work in the morning. Whether anything takes your fancy is another thing :p

    If you throw out a few titles you're looking for, I'll try and remember if I have them.

    In other words, you will have to set up a new account on your PS3 with a UK address. So unless you're happy to do that, just stick with the Irish ones.

    Never had PS+ but I'm in the market for a Vita and a 500 GB PS3 so the + is a no-brainer.

    So If I joined today, is there a list of games that are currently available to me?

    They change month to month but if you joined today you'd get uncharted 3 and a couple of others for the PS3 and some for the vita. They are due to change Wednesday and the next round for PS3 includes Payday: The Heist and Battlefield 3 pus there are some PS vita games also. You dont have to download them when you "buy" them you can download them whenever you want as long as you keep you ps+.

    These are available at the moment, http://ie.playstation.com/playstationplus/#select-tab-gamecollection

    Some are due to leave with new ones taking their place in the next few days.

    Get it now to take advantage of the refresh.

    plus stuff shows up as free, and the EU playstation blog shows what will be on the next month and what is being removed.

    Quick question folks, is there any issues with replacing the HDD with a 7200rpm disk rather than the 5400rpm. I'm thinking potential heat issues maybe? Any recommendations for 1TB disks?

    The hdd in a ps3 is a 5400 anyway, so you would be replacing like for like. Thats what I understood anyway.

    Do the downloads that you start from the website not start until you reboot your console? That kind of defeats the purpose.

    I don't mean they should download with it off, but if I leave it running surely they should start without me having to turn the PS3 off and on again.

    Yes, it's cheaper too and the benefits of a 7200 are negligible; you're talking 2 or 3 seconds loading time saved here and there.

    I don't know if the added heat is a problem or not to be honest.

    If you have PS+ you can set a time for the console to come on and do some downloading. Mine is between 4-6am :)

    I bought SR3 off a sale at christmas and its around 8gb iirc


    Just a heads up to those PS+ folk downloading BF3. I have been playing it since Day 1 and have seen many patches and the current install of game data on my HDD using the disc is 12gb. Which about 9gb of that is numerous patches.

    You also cannot download them in the background.

    So for those of you without good internet, be prepared!

    Might take awhile, best to leave your PS3 on for a few hours overnight.

    Never thought of that. With every map pack came a sizeable update, whether you were getting the maps or not. Added to the game itself it will be a fair old lump to download.
