    If I claimed Fallout 76 on Extra do I need to do something to make sure I still have it after my extra expires?



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,398 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    You lose access to the monthly games if you let your sub expire.

    If you downgrade to essential, they'll still be available.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,594 ✭✭✭Damien360


    Just on mass effect. I never played it before but I thought the first one was a serious drag. Far too many speeches and cut scenes for me. I seem to be wandering aimlessly. I haven't tried the other 2 and was wondering if it's just more of the same.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,901 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    The trilogy should come with a warning saying if you're not enjoying 1, move onto 2! There is a story catch up and it's a **** fantastic game. Much better combat and epic story about building a team for an epic final mission. 3 then builds on top of that, absolutely worth it if you enjoyed 2. Don't let the first game put you off the series.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭EoinHef


    I'd agree 2 and 3 are much better, in 1 the gameplay is so dated.

    I would say there is a lot of dialogue in 2 and 3 as well though so ymmv

    My playstation plus sub is up in February I'm on the premium version atm. I haven't looked into it to much since the plans changed but can you still get PSN credit online for cheaper then updating the sub online via the playstation website?

    Had a quick look at Enaba and cdkeys there all sold out of the Irish store credit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,695 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    Very difficult to get Irish credit for less than face value, prepaid subscription cards have also been phased out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,100 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    yeah it's been since Brexit came about that CdKeys and Eneba stopped having Irish PSN Credit in stock. Eneba have had stock the odd time last year but there usually wasn't much of a discount. And you also can no longer use your mobile credit to get PSN credit too😫



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,695 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    Last time I'd seen a €50 Irish voucher on Eneba it cost more than face value after their fees.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Feck! Guess just gonna have to drop a tier or two cause not paying 120 a year!

    Premium isn't worth it, especially on PS5 as all the PS2 Classics are currently broken on the console.


    Extra on the other hand is.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,331 ✭✭✭cullenswood


    I was thinking of buying my nephew, who lives in Spain a Playstation Plus subscription.

    Am I correct in thinking he needs this to play multiplayer online games? And if he does get it, he can download a lot of games to play on the sub?

    Finally, what would be the best way of getting it for him to use in Spain?


    Thanks and sorry for all the questions...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,100 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    PlayStation Plus sale: New subscribers get 40% off for Extra, 35% off for Premium. Existing subscribers get 30% off tier upgrades.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,901 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Oh ****, i was about to upgrade my sub just last night, thanks Eoin!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭sosq


    Is this one good for Irish players?



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,914 ✭✭✭KH25


    Don’t think I’ve asked this before, but has anyone had trouble with games coming up as locked? I have the Mafia trilogy of games on my account but I can’t download or even buy any of them as the system says I already own ‘Mafia Definitive Edition Tracker’. From what I can tell it seems to be something to do with licences but I’ve restored mine and still no joy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 916 ✭✭✭Páid


    I signed up for a month of PS Plus Premium. It expires on 27th Jan. There is currently a sale on with €40 off 12 months but this doesn't seem to be available to me (presumably because I'm already on Premium).


    Any way I can avail of this offer?

    Life Is Strange games are quality, top of the story/choices genre for me. But don't bypass Sayonara Wild Hearts, a delightful little gem of a game that doesn't get talked about much



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,901 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Weird it's not the remastered version of LiS even though the originals looked better. Like Jim, can't recommend them enough, especially BtS if anyone played the first and skipped that prequel, adds a ton to the story.

    Apparently Sayonara Wild Hearts was announced in error (no reason given), so won't be available next week.





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,901 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Jim jinxed it :D



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭JimBurnley


    Ffs Sony, I said DON'T bypass....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I blame your bad pun. I assume it was intended as a pun?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,107 ✭✭✭El Gato De Negocios


    Excellent, been wanting to play B4B and DMC5 so thats a great month for me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy

    OlliOlli World (PS5 | PS4)

    Mafia Definitive Edition* (PS4)

    Evil Dead The Game (PS5 | PS4)

    Destiny 2 Beyond Light [DLC] (PS5 | PS4)



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,109 ✭✭✭The Raging Bile Duct


    That's a great selection. What's Evil Dead like playing by yourself?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,279 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Poor month for me, already have Mafia and the other 3 don't interest me. Here's hoping that line about Mafia possibly being replaced in some regions is good, and we get something different. /selfish



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Think it's only places like Germany that get alternate games in Europe.

    Happy out with OlliOlli World, loved the last one but never pulled the trigger on this.

    I own Mafia but an absolute treat for those who never played it .

    I wanted to try Evil Dead for ages so another good one for me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,227 ✭✭✭jj880


    Happy with that. Some random titles there to try out. First 3 have very good reviews.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,485 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    OlliOlli World is a great game and really enjoyable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭JimBurnley


    Those games confirmed

    Sony has sneakily announced that the 'PS Plus Collection' is also being removed from May 9th (an announcement naturally buried at the bottom of a blog post).

    The games can still be played past that date at least, but claim them now if you actually want to play any of 'em.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,352 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    Is that the games that were made available on PS5 launch?



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,695 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    Yeah, no surprise they're doing this now the PS5 is available. All of those games are still currently claimable except for Persona 5 which was removed early last year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭JimBurnley


    Sony heard Johnny call them sneaky, email just received confirming this now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,331 ✭✭✭cullenswood


    Do I need PlayStation Plus if I wanted to buy a game online from cdkeys or the likes?



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,716 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    “Mr Ryan, sir, we’re being called ‘sneaky’ on an Irish message board”

    ”My god. Prepare the emergency mass email”



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,580 ✭✭✭✭Riesen_Meal


    Brilliant 😂


    I got the email aswell but already have them in my library...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭EoinHef


    Can't say I'm surprised, it is Sony.

    I'm sure most people who have a console awhile have the games claimed anyway but it was handy for people who only just got the console.

    Example being my niece, got a PS5 for Christmas and was delighted when I told her there were games she could play with PS+ as she only got one game with the console plus a game I gave her. Meant she had plenty to play while building up her game collection.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,026 ✭✭✭Wossack


    For fellow thickos like myself;

    1) go to PlayStation store (not plus)

    2) right bumper for ‘Collections’

    3) scroll down to ‘The PS Plus Collection’

    4) scroll all the way right to ‘View All’

    5) go through and make sure all 19 are added to library. Should all say ‘Purchased’ or ‘In Library’ - unsure why there’s a difference



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,279 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    People who only recently got a PS5 can still add them to their Library and play them after the 9th as long as they have an active Plus sub. I'm surprised it was on this long tbh.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yeah I seem to remember when the PS5 came out it was expected by people that the Plus Collection was only a temporary thing.

    So lasted longer than I expected.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,594 ✭✭✭Damien360


    I'm struggling to find this on the mobile app. Anyone able to direct me. This is what I see in benefits below the subscription tab. I'm not seeing those games.





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,227 ✭✭✭jj880


    Last time I looked at PS Plus Collection was on the console. Have never seen it in the app.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,109 ✭✭✭The Raging Bile Duct


    You can only get access the collection through your PS5 and not the app. It's a bonus only for people that have that console.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭JimBurnley


    I think the difference is In Library games are installed, Purchased are not



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,476 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    This news about the Plus collection reminded me of something that I’ve often wondered; what happens to the games you’ve redeemed through Plus if your subscription lapses (let’s say for one year) and then you re subscribe?

    Do you regain the licenses for everything when you sign back up or is it all lost for good?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,460 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    Official line is that if you let the subscription lapse, you could potentially lose all access to all games you've managed to get before, even if you resubscribe.

    In practice, I've a vague recollection of someone losing access to one game after restarting a subscription but the rest were still there.
