Omg, they made PSN+ even better.

every other week = one update every 2 weeks

Oh well... Doesn't interest me enough to pay a lot of money to get discount on stuff I don't need

They're fools, if you ask me. They could easily foster increased sales of downloadable games and other DLC with weekly specials. Rather than follow in the success of Steam, they're back pedaling. Sony should give Playstation Plus time to blossom. I know few people were impressed by the idea when it was announced at E3, but I think it could be quite a boon for both Sony and their users. There's ample stuff they could offer every week. Going to bi-monthly says to me they just want to keep the service at a simmer.

I don't know if it's just Spain or Europe, but in Spain the updates for the PSN+ are monthly from the beginning, so if this is for everyone it's better for us.

When is playstation plus going to add extra features?

 

[Slyakin]

Man, I WAS gonna get PSN+ because I thought they removed free online play, but after realizing they still kept it free, I had and still have no intentions on getting it.

I really don't want free trials and exclusive offerings, because I just like playing a good game with friends.
