Gaming GoW Collection free via PS+ glitch

[GameWinner]

I'm not sure if Sony will take it down or not but I might as well inform everyone on how to get the game.
Using the webstore, buy both free trials of GoW I & II. After that, search for the Gow Collection for Vita and it should be marked as free.

It worked great for me!

Thanks for the tips, just did it and was able to get the Vita collection free

Oh sigh. My account is apparently PS+less right now. A shame.

 

[ResleyZ]

Can't seem to find any God of War games for the Vita, only for PS3 and one for PSP. Oh well..

 

[Joe88]

works on the web site also (if you dont have a vita).

chavosaur You need to have a PS+ subscription to get the time trials.

Also, I'm downloading the game now, and from what I've heard, it also makes the PS3 games permanent, though I'm still downloading all 3 so I don't know for sure yet. I don't think this is a glitch at all, but an unfortunate side effect of mixing the timed trials with cross-buy. When you buy the free time trial of a game, the store still shows it as Purchased until you start the trial and it subsequently ends. Since both GoW I and II are flagged as Purchased, this in turn activates cross-buy, giving the user access to the GoW Collection on the Vita for free. And, quite possibly after this, buying the collection for Vita activates cross-buy again and flags GoW I and II to be permanently purchased. However, GoW I and II on the PS3 being permanent I haven't verified yet, I'll have to wait until the games are downloaded on to my PS3.

I have the PS+ Subscription, I wonder why Im not seeing anything...

 

[ov3rkill]

Not free anymore? I got a US PS+ subscription and it's not free.

 

[Chris_Highwind]

chavosaur You have to look under Timed Trials under Playstation Plus
ov3rkill: You need to have not gotten the free timed trials of GoW I and II yet.

Either that or Sony found out and fixed it.

 

[chavosaur]

I believe it has been patched, in attempting to download it, I am getting the message, "You are not eligible to recieve this product. I also have no option to even buy it anymore on my Vita so I assume its being patched. DAMN i must have missed it by minutes.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Good that Sony fixed it up even though some got it illegally by using a glitch on their system.

If anyone really wants it then just buy it.

 

[YayMii]

Aww, I must've missed it. They've blocked access to purchasing the game.

 

[emmanu888]

I don't think they patched the PS3 version yet. I'm downloading the collection on my Vita and PS3 right now

 

[GameWinner]

Did they really patch it? Wow, Sony is on the ball today!

 

[Joe88]

well it was on all the deal sites on other gaming sites too
it was just a matter of time
