"Playstation Plus"

Sony's E3 announcement had about 10 seconds on a new update for Playstation Plus, much less than it deserved.

All for £39.99 for a year or £11.99 for 3 months.

Haven't got Tomb Raider, but had Saints Row 2 free with Saints Row 3.

The 20% off Nascar, which comes out today, is good though.

Managed to hit a month where I have all 3 titles, which is a shame:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Tomb Raider and The Guardian of Light
Saints Row 2

I know. Personally, I'd prefer something more personal like Xbox and Wii have, but I happily stuck with my avatar since it first came out.

It would be waste of time getting stroppy with them, he gets the same nonsense each week regardless.

And what is it with avatars? That's all some people seem to want.

Heh. I think it cheered Jawad up after all the annoying rants he gets through on that thread each week.

If I was doing that job I don't think I'd have quite the same restraint.

Just a note to say that I agree with pb, the PSN store does require more games with the letter Z in it. I am going to complain to Jawad about it on your behalf for the next six months.

Easier to replace the internal drive. Sony have made it dead easy to do and it doesn't invalidate any warranty. Any standard 2.5" Laptop drive will fit up to 1TB (or more, but there are size issues). Drives can be pretty cheap for 320GB ones too.

Still not had time to actually play any of the games as I was at the cinema last night.

But I'd still recommend PS+ to anyone on the fence about it at the moment. It's a very good deal with 45 big games available over the year.

I really hope they still give us a few Minis/PS1/PS2 games though.

Did a weekend download marathon session and everything is downloaded and installed. Only managed a brief shot of Virtua Fighter and Little Big Planet 2 so far.
