Watch Sony make the month that PSN+ is free have the updates with terrible free games and discounts.
If they have MGS for PS1 free then I'll definitely forgive them.

Since im still new to the PSN can someone please explain to me how i deactivate the re-newel Ps+ update, just so that i can activate it later like Buuhan1 said?
After reading articles about the greatest PSOne games im having a great interest in Suikoden, Pa-rappa, Policenauts and FF7/9, i wonder are those games in the PSStore?
It won't be automatically given to you. You'd need to go the Store and "purchase" the 30-day PS+ which will be priced as "Free". After you purchase it (if you decide to), then on the XMB you need to go Network > Account Management > Service List > Subscriptions > Playstation Plus > Turn-off auto-renewal.
I learned this the hard way when I downloaded the free trial of Music Unlimited Qriocity. I didn't even bloody use the thing, and I ended up having to spend $10 on it. -_- Customer service refused to credit me.

Wow. That's really dumb, I would get so mad at them.
Sony conference going on right now. Everyone will get a free month of PS+ and a free download of select games.
PSN will be back this week: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/30/press-release-some-playstation-network-and-qriocity-services-to-be-available-this-week/
Why can't I help but think this is a marketing ploy? It's nice they're giving us a free 30 days, but then we can only play the content after 30 days if we keep a subscription. It's mostly useless for me anyway since I only have a PSP.
Yes, we've already been over this. Its a classic scam that EVERYONE does. Take it as a life lesson and be wary of free trials from now on… and be glad it was only a 10$ subscription for one month... and not a 30$ one you didn't notice for a while.
I was screwed by Entertainment Weekly of all things.
Can we really call it "getting screwed" though?
I mean… they straight up TELL you it's going to charge you after the first month.
South Park had it right this week >:D
You're both wrong and right. Yes, they tell you, but there's nothing "straight-up" about it. I'm over it, and the event made me wiser. But I still don't agree with it.
Fine print IS a bitch… I'll admit that much.
I just want to get all of this clear. We will all get a month of free PS+ subscription. When that month is over, it will automatically renew, even if we don't want it to. Is that right? Is there any way to make it unable to renew?
You turn the bitch off.
Like… the day you turn on your Playstation Plus, turn the renewing off.
Oh, it's that easy.
Don't mind me then.
Damn this is taking so damn long.
drowning in classes and final exams
….Yeah....I got time to wait....
passes out from one and a half hours of sleep
I'm blaming this on you, then, Insider. God wanted you to focus on your studies and he took the PSN away from all of us.

In other news, JAPAN currently has PSN up and working. =D

Back to Stat work…
blasts Skrillex's Reptile theme louder
No, they do not. That's a rumor that has been busted by actual users in Japan.
Japan did it?
:V
Oh my…
So apparently the "we have to say your card details were stolen even though we're sure they weren't" nod nod wink wink story sony were putting around isn't true for some people:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13256817
Good job sony.
The database was from 2007. The majority of those cards are expired.
That makes everything peachy then.
Is it sad that the only thing that really ticked me off about PSN being down is that I wasn't able to run the netflix app?
I abuse that thing so much, especially near the end of term, i.e. now.

Seconded. And seriously this is taking a long ass time.
"The company added: "There is no evidence that our main credit card database was compromised. It is in a completely separate and secured environment.""
Yes, they have to add the word "main" to their statement now that yes, its official their credit card database was compromised, even if there was no evidence of that yesterday.
Next week they will reveal, "yeah actually we get hacked about twice a week, have been for years. Is that bad?"

So what are YOU talking about O_o?
Hulu's the one that didn't work at all.

I know in my dealings with SOE, that even when a game comes with a free month for the MMO, in order to even get started they FORCE you to put in your credit card information. thus if you don't pay attention you will get charged once month is up.
but is that same for PSN+. I mean talk about a not very appealing promotion.
"hey sorry customers, we let a hacker get your personal information and some credit card details. ANd as such we are awarding EVERYONE a free month of our PSN+. Just enter in your personal information and credit card info and you will get your free month"
Insert raised eyebrow effect
Uh….
I just got three new games and a new PS3 controller and realized I need PSN to play one of them.
Dammit.

Well, play the other two for the time being.
Do games not make 1 player modes anymore?

seems like they don't last longer than like 5-6 hours if they do
most dissapointing thing this generation imo

PSN+ actually works without a creditcard.

how do you pay for it then without a cerdit card?
@RobbyBevard:

Wouldn't surprise me the slightest.
no it will be like "actually we have been hackign you ourselves"
everytime we cut the ps3 price to make up for it by little by little taking out money of yours. muahahaha
Netflix worked JUST fine for me…
So what are YOU talking about O_o?
Hulu's the one that didn't work at all.
Are you talking about the app, the disc, or the website.
As I haven't been able to access the app, because I haven't been able to sign into my psn account.
I don't have the disc.
The normal Netflix still works just fine, it's just that I have to watch on my laptop instead of my tv, and it has less instant streaming stuff.
I meant the PSN app…
I'm literally using it RIGHT now.
Been using it since PSN went down.
You can "log in," it tells you the PSN is under maintenance but then all the titles pop up and you can watch them.
No disc.
-_-
Why is it that every time I go to use it and I try to sign in it gives me an error message?
I'm really ticked now.
Clearly Rican has hacked the system. We should tell Sony.
Ricans really the mastermind behind all of this hacking. In fact I'm sure if he browsed through his hardrive he'd find most of our card details.
Ignore the error message and keep skipping through whatever pops up, after like two failed attempts it'll just leave you alone. I watched two movies yesterday on my PS3 so yeah, it works.
how do you pay for it then without a cerdit card?
im using the 16.00 PSN+ card which gives me 3 months of the system..so the cards work without a debit/credit card

so you have to BUY a card.
what if i don't have psn+ and i want to take advantage of this free month they are giving. Do I like i had to when getting a new MMO, enter in credit card info to get the free month? or in your case, BUY a psn+ card to get a free month?

I'm assuming either. Buy a card or enter some credit card info. Although personally, I don't think I'd be putting your credit card info on it for a while. That's just me.

well thats why i'm kinda raising my eyebrows at their "comensation/appreciation" or whatever they are calling this.
With all that happened, the only way to get any type of REWARD is to entrust them with our credit card information AGAIN.
its like you tell someone a secret that they promise to tell NO ONE EVER. then they blab the secret, and say if you tell me another secret, i'll tell you one. Its like what? how about you tell me your secret before i trust you with another of my secrets
So here it is, Thursday. Still no sign of anyone being able to go back online. :/
