PlayStation Plus Shifts To Bi-Weekly Updates
It's only been just over a month since Sony launched their new PSN subscription service, PlayStation Plus, and already they're playing with how it works.The service will now be receiving updates every other week instead of weekly.
A post on the PlayStation Blog confirms the change and lets Plus subscribers know that there won't be any new content offered this week. Their patience will be rewarded on August 10 when they can download a free 60-minute trial of Red Faction: Guerrilla and early access to PixelJunk Racers Second Lap.
The post also contains a list of content that will no longer be available for free or discounted prices to PlayStation Plus subscribers as of next week. If you want Fieldrunners for free or Super Stardust for a mere $5, be sure to grab them this week.
I've already heard some discontent rumblings from the handful of people I know who paid for PlayStation Plus access. I can't imagine this change is going to make them any happier. Any PlayStation Plus subscribers reading this who want to comment on their feelings? Or for non-subscribers, does this make you feel any more vindicated in your decision to hold off?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
