Sleeping Dogs Headlines Explosive Euro PS Plus Update

No, I'm not grumbling, just looking forward for the most-anticipated plus post later on US blog... with everyone cursing NA-Ps+ lol

just wondering how could EU got retail PSvita games while none other than the first titles in US...

Im going to move to EU xD they get all the good Playstation Plus updates.

Seriously whats wrong with NA Sony?

Annoyed about Wipeout 2048, come on anyone with a 3G Vita's got this already. Still, given Lumines is a full release I suppose I can't complain.

Knew I didn't bother with f1 race stars for a reason. I love PS+, but can't help but think Sony is shooting themselves in the foot a litte, as I have zero reason to buy anything new now.

It's a good thing I have all ready played Sleeping Dogs (in the US) or I would be upset haha. It's an awesome game if you haven't played it take advantage of this!

Looking forward to Sleeping Dogs. I've been hearing good things about it, so it should be interesting to see if it's as good as people say.

i still love ps+ but it's impossible not to say EUs value isn't higher. Strictly from a monetary value viewpoint it's often quite lopsided. Our full retail releases are often older and clearly given away as a way to get some folks to buy the sequel.

How much time is needed for a normal playthru of Sleeping Dogs? My membership expires 1 week after the update so I can probably only get in about 20 hours.

I know F1 got bad review - if I recall from the demo it's basically a kart game but without a drifting mechanic - but we'll play it for a week for free.

@rjejr - The main story isn't very long in SD. I rented it and beat the main story and all the side quests before I had to take it back. The only thing I had left to do was find some collectables.

The US finally has a PS+ sale - extra 3 months with 12 month subscription. I'ld rather have the EU 30% discount though. Right now the US store needs a reason for me to resub rather than just being a member longer at full price.

Thanks splat. Guess I'll give it a go next weekend.

@get2sammyb
yeah, monthly update will keep me from buying something that will eventually free or discount. Weekly like this make me insecure to buy anything from the store.

@rjejr
I can't find the 3 months bonus useful since I'm stuck until my subs expires right, well just hope other people will have incentive to sub/resub

Yeah, I really don't understand why the US isn't monthly with their updates? I would love to know everything at once.

@get2sammyb
Honestly I think that People in Europe are complaining that the U.S are getting the better deal.
So are the games mentioned above are all for Europe? nothing on the U.S. end?

@Squiggle55
I feel the reason why is because the U.S market is more saturated with PS3 owners when compared to Europe. Sony is doing a smart move by getting Europeans to invest in the PS3 with stellar PS plus give aways. If you look at the sales charts, the PS3 are selling like hot cakes...

Hoping we get Lumines over here in the States, but glad all you people over there can enjoy Sleeping Dogs. That game was amazing (PC).

@Splat
If you play pure story/side missions, I'd say no more than 40 hours. Probably less though. I spent a lot of time just exploring the game world and having fun, so my playtime was closer to 60 or 70.

When I saw the Facebook post by PlayStation about sleeping dogs I got excited, bit when I followed the link and saw blog.EU my heart broke just a little bit.

Fuuuuuuuu..........I want to play Sleeping Dogs. D:

@Kayoss I believe you are right. It's a different market and there are different publishers and branches of publishers that are making the decision to give their game away for free or not. For whatever reason EU is saying yes more often than US — however the money works out best for them in the market, and maybe EU has needed a bit more convincing to spend their money.

Anyway, I still love US ps+. And I actually enjoy getting smaller PSN games that I can jump in and play for a few minutes as opposed to something like Sleeping Dogs that I honestly probably wouldn't touch for months b/c of my backlog and time constraints.

I was definitely gonna buy that, but now I'll just wait a few weeks till they give it to the states : ) I'm green

I hope I'm proven wrong but I seriously doubt the US will be getting this. We might, however, get lucky and get a discount on it in the next couple months.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath on SD coming to the US line up.

I think it WILL come to us ps+. Probably in like 2-3 years

Sleeping Dogs is awesome. Just buy it and play it.

Sleeping Dogs is phenomenal and it's a travesty that it didn't light the sales charts on fire like it deserved to. Hopefully by going up on Plus a lot more people will play it though and maybe it can garner enough interest to get them to consider a sequel.

I found some 30-day European PS+ trials online, now at least until March I can enjoy what my friends across the pond enjoy

@MyCatEdwin
Nice!

I got a free 30 day PS+ for the EU even though I reside in the US from Facebook. This link should work if you have a FB account.

You need to enter CC info but somehow it worked for me with a US CC, I just entered my UK account address which was autofilled for me. I have NOT tried to actually use the CC to buy anything though.
