Moving on, many of you have been asking what time you will be able to download the Killzone 3 theme that grants access to the Killzone 3 beta to the first 10,000 SCEE Plus subscribers who download it. We have been discussing which time is best for everyone and we can now confirm that it will go live in the EU PlayStation Store at8pm in the UK and 9pm CET on 13 October, and 6am in Sydney, Australia on 14 October.

*We would like to point out that, at this very early stage in the game's development, the Killzone 3 beta will only support the English language. Let us assure you that the final game will be fully localised and there will be opportunities for non-English speakers to experience it in their mother tongue as we get closer to release. Fortunately, the headshot is an international language.

Another common piece of feedback is that you were unhappy with the lack of game add-on packs provided in the last PlayStation Plus update. In response, we have teamed up with Bethesda Softworks to make all of the Fallout 3 DLC available to Plus subscribers for free, as the release of Fallout: New Vegas draws tantalisingly near. Please be aware that these packs will be in the Plus section of PlayStation Store for one week only, from the following dates:

13 October
Fallout 3: Point Lookout
Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta
Fallout 3: Operation: Anchorage

20 October
Fallout 3: Broken Steel
Fallout 3: The Pitt

Pretty sick (meaning good) surprise if you ask me because I love Fallout 3 but I never got around to getting the add ons:lol:. My following source is from the official PS Blog by James Gallagher Blog Manager SCEE on the PS Plus Update for the 12th of October.

So anything free is subject to continuing membership, so it's not a download, more of a server access?

So it's about $18 for three months of PS+, and I can get $50 worth of Fallout 3 DLC? Kewl, I might have to sign up finally.

Oh wait, I'm actually just renting them because I'll lose them if I don't continue to subscribe. Ahhhhh...that changes things a bit. As if those Fallout 3 DLC's aren't buggy enough without some extra code shoved in there to make them inoperative :roll:

Not exactly. Your granted the DLC and it has an expiration date on it which last as long as your PS Plus. DLC will always be usable its the free "games" that wont be. Avatars, themes, Qore and DLC stays forever.

Qore doesn't last forever either you can't go download an old Qore episode after the month of that issue is over.

How the hell does that work?

If you buy the F3 dlc for free while using ps+ then once your subscription is up they just delete the rewards you got from the dlc?

It's worth it if you plan on never returning to F3. Im not talking about replaying the DLC, im talking about the rewards like weapons and what not. Do they just poof into the air once your subscription is up? (btw I already played the dlc)

I wonder what happens if you get the Broken Steel pack which raises the level cap from 20 to 30, and then you get to level 25 but don't renew your + subscription?

I'm pretty sure you get to keep DLC and themes and avatars forever.

You just don't get to keep the "free" PSN games (and I think PSOne Classics).

The DLCS are not part of a services list so you keep it forever,you can see what games are part of the service in Services List. Please be sure and not confuse other members,

Thanks

Because an expiration date will magically make it buggier... Talk about hating just to hate. Though honestly, this really isn't that big of a deal. This probably wouldn't have been free if it wasn't for the fact that an actual GOTY edition is available with all DLC. That way, not as many people benefit from this, meaning that sales for that version of the game will not be affected in sales that much. I see so many people complaining about the time restrictions, but do they really expect Sony and all of these publishers to give these games and DLC away for $50 per year? Really? I think it's a pretty good deal to get all this stuff over the course of a year even after considering the fact that I won't have access to it afterwards. I can understand why people may not be interested in it, but calling it a rip-off is plain wrong. Most of the stuff on PS+ so far has been of good quality, even though a much of it could be rendered useless to someone who buys a lot of PSN games and DLC.

I wish people would stop using the phrase "free" whenever they're talking about PS+, it's not free because you're paying for the service. It's still an amazing deal though.

I hope I did too. When I DL'ed mine there were already 2500 ratings though, so I don't know. But today I checked the store and they took the theme down. So maybe after the 5000 downloads they removed it. Anyway, fingers crossed that I'm in.:P

Apparently it took half an hour to reach 10,000 downloads. So as long as you got it before 8:30 you should be in.......

PS+ is pointless, this is the only decent news I've heard for people registered to it, otherwise you're not really getting your money back.

I guess they're doing that to get people pumped about New Vegas. Pretty sweet for the people that haven't played them yet.

I know, but to get them in the first place you need to pay for the subscription.

Why not just buy the GOTY edition or buy it off PSN? At least you'll have it for as long as PSN lasts (or the disk).
