I could care less about the cross game chat. I don’t see that as a benefit. I would however like to comment on the free content available. I suggest that if you don’t like the content being offered for free, maybe mention what you would like instead of just complaining non-stop about it. I frequently check out the blog and FAQ sections for Plus and all I read is belly aching about the fact that you aren’t receive $50 worth of content every time the Store is updated.
I’ll admit that the chat maybe more important to others than it is to me, but be happy that you’re given content that is valued at much more than what you actually paid for it.

I’m a long time fan of all things PlayStation and I’ve been along for all 15 years of the ride as a consumer and I just recently started working for a studio that frequents Sony consoles. I have every reason in the world to stand up and defend SCE, but right now I’m on the fence.

I feel like the initial advertisements were misleading in regards to beta invites. Sure you never once said that ALL Plus members were GUARANTEED spots in ALL betas but surely you can see how the average person could make such a leap when reading statements like(I’m paraphrasing) “includes access to exclusive betas.”

I would be less disappointed about going 0 for 2 on beta invites so far if I had been told UPFRONT(not in a blog Q&A after the fact) that being a plus member only earns me a CHANCE at receiving invites, not a guarantee. Intentional or not, I can’t help but feel like I was lied to(lies of omission do count).

You need to put it out there(up front and in bright shinny letters) that being a plus member doesn’t guarantee beta invites. And not just in this blog (which even I don’t read on a regular basis). Not all PlayStation owners or even PlayStation Plus members read everything in this blog.

I just want acess to my annual Qore subscription that I paid for. It’s crazy to think I paid for PS+ and I loose something I paid for.

As for cross game chat yes it is a big ticket item, but that kind of implementation is difficult. If my memory serves me correctly on the original Xbox there was multichat which would be the equal to cross chat in PSN’s case they removed it when the new Live and Xbox 360 launched and it took them over 2 years to effectively implement it again. Microsoft is a software company and if it took them that long to get it right I mean it is only fair that you give a primarily hardware oriented company like SONY some slack. You guys whining about it every other post is not going to make them move any quicker.

I think SONY is doing a great job trying to bring us content more and features. Some of us will be waiting patiently to see what you will bring us next. :)

I think most of the ranting about what the PSN+ is unfounded. So what if the games are over a year old before they are offered at a discount? I mean be realistic, how much of a discount can they offer you on a new game without losing money? I mean when is the last time Xbox Live offered you anything free no matter how old it is? For those of you who don’t know the answer , THEY DON’T!!! There is arcade games on Live right now that are way over a year old and still at full price and add-on content for games that are over 2 years old and is still not free. And almost all of Live’s Deal of the Week content is for games that have been out for a while as well and which if you are a “hardcore gamer” you have probably already purchased. PSN+ has some good deals on add-on content and they are adding more stuff all the time. Of course they are in it to make a profit, isn’t that why you sell a product in the first place?

So far the Playstation Plus membership hasn’t been as bad as most people have said granted not many games on it were as good but still the service has been good to me.

My only question is that my subscription ends next month can i renew my subscription at any time?

You guys should make DLCs for all games global and not with region locks. If subscribing to PSN Plus would give me that perk, I would definitely get it.

My only wonder is you said that “Annual Qore subscribers still receive their monthly subscription including their additional downloadable content.” Well perhaps it’s a bug or something has changed… but I am a annual Qore subscribe as well as a PS+ Subscriber and when I downloaded Epidose 28 of Qore. The Free download of Warhawk for the PS1 wasn’t in the download center. Now, I understand that it’s a new service and like everything there are kinks to work out. I would just like to know if this problem is being handled cuase I’d like to think there will still be a reason for me to keep my Qore Subscription plus… I really want my PS1 Warhawk.
