Free Little Big Planet for PS+ subscribers in the EU

Archive: 22 posts


According to Joystiq, EU players that subscribe to PS+ (PlayStation+, the new PSN premium service, in case you've been living under a rock) will get a free, downloadable and KEEPABLE copy of LittleBigPlanet.

In other words, if you cancel your subscription, the game will still be yours, unlike all the other freebies to which subscribers will have access. This is according to the EU PS Blog entry found here (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/06/23/playstation-plus-explained/).

Users must sign up between the 29th June and 3rd Aug for the 1 year subscription to get the content listed.

Nothing's free, mate. You have to sign up for PS+, which is the new premium PSN service.

On topic, it's almost desirable just to never have to use a disk again. That said, I am cheap and do not qualify as EU, so I'll pass.

This would actually be good for me. We have 2 PS3s in the house so one could have the hard copy. Will be good for machinimas and stuff. 2010-06-24 18:51:00

30 updates... been there, done that. Only last week, as a matter of fact. Just turn it on and go do something else.

It's nice to see someone picked up on my suggestion on this forum to make a DLC LBP. It would be nice to switch between LBP and whatever I'm playing at the time without swapping discs, but is it worth 50 euros...?

Wait - that's for LBP PS3? I thought it was the PSP version!

I might get it so I have no need to switch disks any more

I'll sign up for PS+ when I know for a fact we're not getting ripped off, compared to the US.
I'M STILL WAITING FOR ALL THE FEATURES THE US HAS, SONY! *shakes fist*

Awesome! Rip-off, you can get it for under ?5 in most places, but its disc-less, ill try out the PSN+ for a year when it comes out but maybe when they give a different game, LBP on Disc takes up a Whopping 4MB :colossus: (without updates) when Fallout 3 GOTY(PS3) takes up only 6757MB Minimum 2010-06-25 20:54:00

Is it certain that existing DLC and save data will work with the digital copy? If so, then I can trade in my disc copy for a bit of cash 2010-06-25 22:25:00

That 4 MB is how much (initially) you needed on the HDD to save the game, with the fact that the game isn't going to be burned to a disc anymore, and all the patches it will take just under 10GB (estimate)

Yup! Takes me bout an hour and twenty. Minutes to install the updates. Another thirty minutes to download all the DLC. And I don't even have all the DLC.

My LBP disc was getting scratchy and non-working, I think I'll sub. But I have a REALLY slow internet connection, which means maybe 1-2 DAYS of downloading 2010-06-27 11:11:00
