CC is very much worth playing, it's certainly not your average match-3 type game! Plus trophy support and a lengthy single-player mode, good deal imo

Not to mention if offers a pretty good challenge. A great underrated title without a doubt.

@Halwende I just played it and its a really good game definitely worth $10 although I deleted "Kahoots" cause that game creeps me out.

I love Critter Crunch, but I think towards the end things just got way too busy with it. Too many powerups, too many enemy types, too many mechanics overall.

But still, great game. Just wish I could disable a lot of those mechanics for my endless play mode.

your fault because you didn't wait

And I'm speaking this from experience, bought TF2 5 minutes before the Halloween deal last year.

Is the PS+ content only available to those that have it at the time or is it always available? For instance, say I were to get PS+ in two months. Would Wipeout HD still be free for me or does the opportunity to get it, expire?

I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume it's sort of like Qore where you only get the month's content that you got it and then your full year's subscription.

You should be able to get everything, I mean, I don't think they'll keep different PS+ section on the store to individual members. Of course I could be wrong, but it doesn't make any sense.

Maybe you should head to the playstation.com forum and look for this thread or post one. I'm sure every week there's people signing up for PS+ that could answer you. I'm a member, but I'm from day one.

Yes the content listed in the PS+ section of the store goes away over time. If it didn't you would be able to subscribe to PS+ a year later and already be able to download 12 PS3 games. That's why it's a good idea to download everything just so you can have it in your download list.

No you're wrong. The content dissappears from the PS+ section so you only have that month to download it. If you chose not to, then you won't be able to get it later.

On the flipside, anything you DO download in that month will go into your download history so you will always be able to download it again later.

It's lame that they are tied to the account though - you should at least be able to share them with the other users on the system.

@The Harbinger of Pie Completely agree! I hate that the avatars I've gotten off of PS+ can't be used on other accounts. Its a little bit ridiculous.

Shame on everyone who gets Critter Crunch for free. They practically gave it away at $7. Truly the best puzzle game to come along this generation, even better than Meteos and Lumines IMO.

If it gets more people playing it, then absolutely pick it up free. I'll be that Capybara is still getting compensated somehow from Sony for it.

@Dance Love Pop Agreed, people should support small studios like Capy...giving away Critter Crunch is almost sinful, best $7 I've ever spent.

Yup, I bought it day one, I almost always do when I read about it being a small studio. Same with landit bandit, and both were very enjoyable. I love supporting the small guys.

Also, Critter Crunch was gorgeous, among the best graphics I've ever seen, especially for a PSN game.

Pretty much everything that's free on PS+ is stuff I already have since it came out yonks ago.
LBP, Wipeout, Critter Crunch etc..

I don't really have any incentives to join yet which is disappointing.

Then just browse the one you want and buy it individually for $.49 (or $.99). Buying all 35 does seem a bit strange...

Yes you can, they are all sold separately under the avatars section. If they all aren't, then most are. It's just the bundle that's exclusive.

Um, you mean like folks such as you complaining about a legitimate opinion? You're calling him upset? That's not upset. He just realizes that it's an obvious rip off to bundle 35 items together when you're only going to want a couple of them and can't use more than 1 at a time.

People are constantly evaluating whether something is worth the price... I think it's one of the most relevant aspects of a discussion on a thread devoted to commercial products, such as this thread. and yet, there seems to be a strain of people lately condemning the evaluation of value.

He's not upset. He's actually got a great point. It's not a big deal and no one cares, but you announcing he is upset and that you're amused makes it seem like you take it too personally that someone has a negative opinion.

If you have some argument as to why it's a good value, that might be more helpful. If you have nothing but 'you shouldn't even talk about that' snark... maybe you should take your own advice.
