Also, they announced it was the Zone of the Enders HD Collection for the PS3 this month but they've only made the first one free.

I've asked this on twitter. They say they are aware of the issue and are looking into it.

Edit: It has now been changed to ZoE HD Collection

Sony have a deal on a 12 month sub with PUBG until the 13th, €69.99 for both.

Raging,renewed two days ago. Was happy enough to let PUBG pass me by as i have it on PC but i would have taken the punt for €10.

Not a bad deal imo of ye have to pay the €59.99 anyway

How do I do this?

Purchase the PS3 version first, then once it’s purchased the PS4 should show up as free

Oh man, I'm so happy to get Amplitude! I absolutely adored this, and Frequency, back in the day. Some of the best music based games I've ever played! Downloading now!!

My PS+ bloody auto renewed, I’ve requested a refund.

Happened to me 2 days before Christmas, managed to get a refund straight to my bank in a few days.

I am using a mates PS4 but have my own account PS store account.

I bought a game or 2 from the PS store using my account, however if I was to buy my own PS, can I re-download these games onto it?

Thanks peeps

So, finished Amplitude on Intermediate last night, completely different to how I remembered it and different songs. I was looking forward to replaying Freezepop - Super Sprøde! Had a quick go of one of the bonus songs on Hard and Expert. Just as hard as I remember!

Went on to the PS Store on ps4 the other night to add the monthly games to my library - I could only add the ps4 games and couldn't see any others.

Am I right in thinking that other months I could add all the games (ps4, ps3 and vita) to my library from the ps4? Or did I imagine that?

Nope. Only PS4 games can be added from the PS4.

It's a bit silly. I have a few mates who got PS4 around Christmas for the first time and they had no idea about the plus games and hadn't a notion of how to get them.

Sony email every month when the new games are available to download.

People would give out if Sony put the games in your account automatically. Remember when it happened on ITunes:

I know it's no biggie but was thinking of getting a cheap ps3 and I haven't added any of the ps3 Plus titles to my library. So having them auto added would have been pretty nice.

It'd also lose them money though. Ultimately, the games are supposed to be a "It's available for free for this month, so if you want it, get it now" kind of deal. If the games were auto-added, considering most users do have PS+ the games would then almost never sell anything again. There'd be little incentive for companies to put their games on PS+ for a month. I'm thinking in particular of Rocket League as an example. Many got it for free when it was on PS+, and that was when the game really took off in popularity. No doubt many people then paid for the game in the months following. But had it simply been auto-added, they would have lost out on those sales that occurred after the PS+ month was over. I know they've made a sh*t-tonne out of cosmetic DLC etc since, but still, lost sales are lost sales.

Same with your own scenario of getting a PS3. Since the games weren't auto-added, you likely won't pay money for the majority of games that were given as part of PS+ (and some huge AAA games were given on PS+ during the PS3 era). But even if you bought 2 games for cheap, that's more money than they would have gotten had the games been auto-added for people to then get whenever they wanted.

Aren't they now shown separately in a 'Plus' section of the library though?

Possibly, but isn't the first screen when you enter the Library just set to "All". I don't have a huge amount of games so can usually scroll to what I want easily enough from there, but if you auto-add 30 or so PS+ games within a year you're forcing people into extra steps or harder searches to find what you're looking for.
