Looks like Plus is finally trying to make a name for itself. After this, and the last update, it's getting harder to make fun of Plus.

I'm finally getting to try MAG out. I'm getting to be more and more proud of being a plus member.

@InDurdenWeTrust It was $5/$10 used all last week at gamestop with their power saver sale. I picked up a $5 copy, but haven't tried it yet.

you have to pay to be a plus member?

@shopping bags Yes. That's what the "plus" part implies.

Exactly. For those of us that don't have Plus, it's still pointless. You're paying more for plus to play a "free trial" when the actual game is $30.00. I'll pass.

Just this week alone Plus has given out Sam and Max season 3, crash team racing, DC universe beta, and countless others still available for download. Plus is the best investment I ever made. I've already gotten about $100 worth of content I would have probably bought in a matter of 3 months, I'm looking forward to the rest of my subscription and I'll renew.

@Wizardsofwaverly Why would you rather pay double? At least now you can sell your copy if you don't like it. Not sure how you could be mad about this.

That's great news for plus members that don't have MAG. It really is a great game. It's not like CoD, so don't get all bitchy when you try to lone wolf it, get owned and have your squad leader up your ass about playing the game right.

I've been digging the DCUO beta even with all the glitches and freezes! There's something there, but needs a lot of polish. And Sam and Max is just hilarious. Plus is just paying for itself now.

It's good to see progression like this on the ps plus. I already loved the idea of no hassle beta offereings. I may treat myself to plus for Xmas.

8 levels is plenty to learn the ropes of mag. You don't level up fast until you get the concept of fraggo. And for most that are familiar with cod fraggo is a 'new' concept. Lol.

Ps. I'm aware this isn't the best method to get non plus members to sign up as it's cheaper just to get the game. But it's a sign of good things to come for plus members. Mark my words.
Hell im now considering signing up knowning things will get better.

"[T]he full-game trial has an artificial level cap."

So then it's not an "unlimited" trial, is it?

@That Darned

You can still play once you get level 8, so yes, it is unlimited.

@That Darned
Unlimited= play all you want
Trial= not the full game.

Therefore Unlimited Trial= play all you want of the not full game.

If it was the unlimited your thinking of... Well... That's called free.

This is awesome. Plus continues to prove its worth with the early adopters and all those signing up before 2011 having had seen the biggest benefits to what Playstation Plus can be.

I bought this on sale during the holidays and I have to say I'm really liking it. I'm surprised that this game manages over 200 players with no lag yet BLOPS can't even do it with even the most basic matches.

I will be switching back to MAG after I return Black OPS. Black OPS is incredibly laggy and the disconnects are very very frustrating.

I think a lot of people are going to be surprised.
MAG is better than a lot of you think. Sony knows this is all you need. TRY IT.

That's really cool and all, but $30 to buy the game? I picked it up for $10 at GameStop a couple weeks ago.
