Sorry, but you want us to participate in yet ANOTHER ‘special’ membership IN ADDITION to PlayStation Plus? No thanks.

So if we pre-ordered, will we be able to download it right at midnight when its release day or have to wait until they put it in the store like they usually do? Do we get any notifictaions on our ps3? Or what? Lol just wondering :p

@69: On its normal release date, and maybe a bit later (if you read the disclaimer when you bought the games) :D

I like the idea of PSN pre-orders, but it needs to bring some real benefits before people will take it seriously:

1: Pre-orders should be available on all new PSN titles
2: Pre-orders should bring a benefit, like a premium avatar or a small discount
3: Pre-ordered titles should be directly pushed to your PS3 and installed on day one as part of the Automatic Update feature.

If a game is released in the afternoon, the PS3 should automatically wake up at the right time, so that the game is waiting for you when you get home.

If pre-orders do these things, I will be happy to put down my money first. If pre-orders don’t bring benefits like this, then it’s just a gimmick.

The only one that I could see even worth $15 is The Baconing (maybe Street Fighter) but thats only because the first two were $15 too. All besides that should be $10 at the most. Renegade Ops should only be $10 because of the graphics but there are way too many top-down shooters on the market now. Bloodrayne is only $15 because of the franchise, as is Street Fighter. The only one that anyone really wants is PayDay: The Heist. But it better be a full game with a platinum trophy for the price of $20 as a download only game.

@65: yeah, if you want PAY DAY for free, you have to buy the 4 games.

@63 It says right there in the article: Keep in mind that SOE’s PAYDAY: The Heist is also yours, free of charge, if you’re over 18 years old and you purchase all four games!

So my hunch is you have to “purchase all four games!”

@61: Maybe I phrased my question wrong, but I meant do you get Payday for free when you pre-order 1 of the 4 PLAY games or do you only get it for free if you pre-order all 4 PLAY games?

@62: Well I’d vote you in as a mod. There’s usually a PSblog mod that’s pretty fast to answer questions, but you beat them to it. Thanks.
