You won't believe how stunning Gravity Rush looks.

Really looking forward to playing this. Heard nothing but good reviews. Have resigned myself to buying a Vita now. Hoping to get one before christmas.

Anyone know of the best place to purchase one is? €230 in Gamestop for the Wi-Fi one with LBP and a 4G card. Have a 3DS to trade in, they offered me €70 store credit for it, which would make the Vita €150. Is there places selling it cheaper? HMV accepts trade-in's too so i might give there a try.

I would sell the 3DS on Adverts and you will get a lot more than €70 for it, and then get the xtravision deal.

It's available til the 7th. Plenty of time to pick it up.

Hey guys, is it possible to stack 3 month PS+ subscriptions? So if I order say 4 x 3 month subscriptions paying €40 on PSN I would be able to get about 12 months subscription by activating them when each of the individual three months subscriptions has finished?

It would appear they are stackable, lots of discussion about this here:

Through the PS store, i think its a store only discount for a limited time.

It *is* stackable....i had a 12 month sub that ended Oct. 2013.....i jusr bought the 3 month 9.99 discount....now its January 2014

I've done this a few times and the subs all add up together.

LOL!....great idea!

The 12 month sub is still 50 Euro, so stacking 4 x 3 monthers = 40 Euro saving you 10 quid!! :cool:

Beefy78 · 02-12-2012 12:29AM

I've just added an extra 90 days onto my PS+ membership.

Klair88 · 02-12-2012 07:58PM

Just got the 90 days stacked on my account too!

Great idea. Bought R&C= Q-force too so if anyone is playing it let me know!! Buying the Vita tomorrow. Hopefully.

Varik · 02-12-2012 10:26PM

Would get some more time added to my account but I've got 2 years as it is from the last discount.

Just wishful thinking but in a few years when psn or psn+ service closes. Hope we get to keep the games for good.

PS+ probably wont close, Id say it will last forever and carry on from console to console.

Yup....Sony cant just abandon 80 million customers...there'd be war! :mad:
Either a firmware update to the new PS4 store or one for the new console and one for the old.
but this news is rather concerning....http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/22/us-sony-panasonic-ratings-idUSBRE8AL07B20121122

Wing126 · 02-12-2012 11:25PM

I reckon the only way PSN/PS+ will end is if Sony stop they're console line.

Forever, forever, ever, forever, ever?

CastorTroy · 03-12-2012 01:16AM

ever ever? ever ever?

I suppose what would be interesting to see is if we can download the games to the PS4 or do we have to keep our PS3?

So latest 12 Deals is Battlefield 3 for €39.99 with an extra 10% off for Plus.

That was always going to happen though. If you read Fitch's reasons, they basically say that the company needs a massive restructuring, but that is what Sony have been talking about for the last few month's anyway, with Kaz Hirai's 'One Sony' plan.

Which won't happen as it's one of the few departments in Sony that is profitable.

Sold it on adverts and got €100. Bought the Vita deal on the Mega-Monday sale online at gamestop. Got Need for speed, 4G card and Vita for €189.99!

Good Dale!

Bought a €20 starter kit with it and its still cheaper than the extra-vision one!

Sale finishes tonight at 8 p.m. They also have the Vita Black ops 2 bundle with 4G card for €199.99! Add me if you play any vita stuff, or PS3 even!

And the way I see it, this is the main reason they are discounting PS+ AND Music Unlimited. They are offering huge discounts, in my opinion, in the hopes that a huge amount of users sign up.

This gives them instant cash flow to stave off bad debt in the short term. They may lose long term, but it gives them a breathing space that they may need to get out of a hole.

As every business knows. You don't always have to turn a profit. You just have to stay in business and hope things turn around - keep cash coming in, even at a cost.

Of course when I move to Canada, being in Ireland is better for something!

Anyway I'm on Playstation plus over here, was traveling for a year so missed out on a few games so signed up when I read Arkham City for Dec but that turned out to be a NZ site.

Anyway anyone know what the North America are getting. Dl'ing off the store is slow over here as well and I'm on a 3mb a sec when dling usually.
