Plus Peeps Can Grab Darksiders For Free
DarksidersIt's good to be a PlayStation Plus member, isn't it?
They get free stuff, significant discounts, early access to important beta tests, cloud data storage, and other perks. But let's face it, that "free" feature is perhaps the biggest draw.
So far in 2013, Plus subscribers already got games like NBA Jam: On Fire Edition for free, and now another solid title can be had free of charge. As revealed over at the PlayStation Blog, it's the original Darksiders. Although it didn't necessarily haul down the highest praise from us, this Vigil Games product was mighty entertaining and well worth your time. And besides, you'll want to play it because it acts as a lead-in for the much better Darksiders II, which was definitely one of the top games of 2012. Play as War in one, as Death in the other...how much more appealing can two protagonists get?
And keep checking the PSN for future Plus deals and steals.

I was pretty put off when I saw that some game's save files don't back-up to the PSN cloud, like NGS2. That is just lame. I really don't care to have my game's "system settings" backed up. If I'm wrong about this, please someone tell me. And really, MANDATORY system updates should already be offered as an automatic download anyway. It make's no difference to SOny when you download your update so why lock the feature behind a paid service?
But no, we're Sony. Yes, we make you pay to toggle that switch on your system to update the firmware automatically at night, and if you don't pay now you get to wait 30 minutes to download and install the update before you can play your brand new game. We like delaying the joy.
Anyway, I suppose if I was a new VITA owner having access to all of them "free"Vita games would be nice, just to try them out and figure out what to actually buy.
Anyway, I do dig the discounts. I grabbed some cheap Sega stuff.

So ridiculous your statement about how Sony isn't going to give me any money when I am strapped for cash! LOL! That doesn't make any sense. Of course they wouldn't. That has nothing to do with PS+. They aren't forcing me to buy a service like Microsoft is.
Oh well, you don't like PS+ and I can respect that. It's just your reason for not liking it that didn't make sense. Maybe Darksiders is cheap and old, but it's still $10 to buy and $17.99 used at Gamestop. So you get Darksiders free that makes the amount you have to make back only $40 or $32 depending on where you bought the used game. I can guarantee you'll make up that $32/40 real quick. The Instant Game Collection was amazing as well. Anyway, I have wasted enough time on this topic. L8r

this has been offered so many times now its ridiculous!
99% of the time the games are really old, and games everyones already played.
RDR for instance, who hasent played RDR by now!?
or there games which are available elsewhere for free or really cheap, especially in this case since THQs going down the sh*tter their prices have plummeted!
steam was offering 1, 2, and ALL the DLC with the season pass for 16 bucks in one of their chrissy sales!
not to mention most of the sales are hardly sales!
if i had a nickel for every time i saw a game on PSN, on "sale", than saw it on steam, or at a retailer such as EB, for significantly less not on "sale", id be rich enough to buy out the big 3 10 times over by now!

Also, let's be honest here, ok? If you were to go back over the last year of PS+ free games and discounts, can you honestly tell me it doesn't pay for itself? I mean, come on, even you can see the worth while greatness in this subscription.

point was 99% of +s sales are NOT sales at all!
instance went on there tonight to redeem my DMC codes and saw they have BF3 for a + discounted price of ONE HUNDRED BUCKS!
go to ebgames website, type the game in in the search bar, and tell me how much the ps3 version is.
over the years no its not worth the subscription, as ive been saying all the time, hows it worth the subscription when you can get better deals just by walking into a shop?
and mind you i NEVER buy games online because im fussy with who i give my CC details too, especially after someone hacked into my PSN account and bought a few games on my card.
$onys way of saying sorry for that was banning my account, and refusing to restore it even after taking them to court!
so id probably find even cheaper deals than what im finding now, especially since EB is considered to be one of the most expensive places to buy games!
if + gave you games for allot cheaper than what you could get at retail, absolutely yea id be worth it!
but it doesent, most of the time its not even the same price at retail, most of the time, as the case for BF3, almost DOUBLE the price of retail!

Anyway, I can get a better deal with PS+ than the walk in stores. For example, I just got Darksiders for free and it's $17.99 used at Gamestop. PS+ is more than the discounts.
