I have no idea why I pay for gold. No idea at all. My friends and I never have time to play online games together anymore, and I don't like playing with people I don't know. I used to think, 'hey, maybe it's worth it just for the times when I feel like playing that Snoopy Flying Ace game', but ever since I bought a PS3 and got a plus account there, it just makes what microsoft is offering their premium customers look like a joke. Especially since last time I tried to play an 'older' game online I couldn't get a match started.

Considering all that, I'll not be paying for my next year of Live.

It's basically cross between geometry wars, and R-Type, and while it isnt a bad game, I can't say its as good as either of them.

Also, I wouldn't play the game at all if you couldn't turn the narrator off in the settings. He sounds like a 17 year old kid from London, recording all the lines on a broken cassette tape. It's like rubbing a cheese grater on your brain.

If theres anything that can get me routinely checking something on a daily basis, like a well trained squirrel taught to push a button to get a food pellet, its a 'deal of the day' style sale like the one on the PS store now.

Of the time of posting this now, the 'battlefield 3' and 'tokyo jungle' deals have expired, and a one piece game is currently live. Any speculation on what could be coming up?

All I can tell for the shape of the hidden icon is some sort of little big planet racing for #9, and #12 appears to be Farcry3. #10 for unfinished swan seems to be a little too obvious?

I know I should be stoked that a game I've been wanting to play for ages is going to be free for me, but does anyone know if the Batman game includes any of the DLC?

If not, I think it'll be cheaper for me to buy the GOTY edition for xbox than it will be to buy it all separately on the PS store..

Work cultures that tolerate bullying and discrimination are a problem, and this is raising awareness to one facet of such.

What kind of arseholes are you people who think it's validity is something that needs to be debated?

Your mothers are all women, for fucks sake.

None of this stuff comes out on any console in Australia anyway.

I've bought it and spent a few hours in it. I've never played Dwarf Fortress, but what what I know about that, this is very much a cross between that, dungeon keeper, and minecraft. I can't see it having the same cult appeal of either though.

So far I've only really done the tutorials, and I have noticed a lot of rough edges too, but I'm sure it'll get patched up soon.

Cool, thanks for the advice. I was really keen to play Journey (it's one of the reasons I got the PS3), so all I needed was some assurance it was worth 'not-waiting-for' in terms of becoming a freebee.

Also, I have noticed that the deals some people have talked about I haven't got, so yeah, I did work out thats probably because I'm in Australia (where for some reason most games are priced at $20.. ugh).

I'm pretty new to the Playstation club, but upon the advice I saw on this forum, I did signup for the Plus membership.

So far I'll say the advice was good. I've already downloaded several games I actually was interested in, and some of the discounts have been alright too (already it's immeasurably better value than the xbox gold account I also have - my standard on what a premium service ought to offer has now been raised, and I don't think I'll be renewing that one).

My query however is how often the instant games and member special prices rotate. I get why they don't tell you how long things will last for, but it would be nice to know at least from patterns in the past how often new things will show up for downloading without needing to log in and check the slow loading storefront. I find myself reluctant to want to buy some games like Journey. pixel junk, or fl0w, just in case they ever make an appearance in the instant games collection list, so I was keen to hear other peoples thoughts on that too.

@Let1Down:

Dude, seriously. I've never seen anything merit the 'first world problems' phrase more than what you've posted. You should honestly be feeling ashamed of yourself.
