It's a really fun game when you play it co-op with people who know what they're doing. I know Twigg played with his cousin a ridiculous number of hours and still had some bosses they couldn't beat.

That's where a ringer comes in handy...

The only boss that is a complete joke in that game is Crawmeraxx. That thing is bullshit although somehow my cousin has beaten it by himself a few times. Luckily you don't have to face him unless you want some crazy loot drops and a cheevo/trophy I think.

The No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise demo was decent.

Gory as ever after you beat henchmen after henchmen... certain times, the blood'll splatter across the screen and drip down like water.

Also, the Boss Fight at the end was easy enough as long as you learn how to block and dodge at the right times.

I'd recommend the game if you haven't played either the original or the sequel on the Wii yet.

I just read that only the first 1,000 PS+ users get the original Section 8 for free. Fuck that. So I guess you roll the dice when you download it? I would imagine 1,000 people already downloaded it anyway.

people traded in borderlands?

the hell is wrong with you?

[Twigg4075]

Fuck it. I just bought Section 8. Based on the lack of comments on the PlayStation blog and Gamefaqs I probably still have a pretty good change of getting the first for free. Worst comes to worst I still get a cool single player campaign with a fun multiplayer mode, with the free bonuses they give you, for $15.

From a value standpoint, it's definitely worth it. I know I've definitely got more than the $50 I paid a year ago with all of the discounts and free games.

Amazon still has the year subscriptions for $40.

The fact that it pretty much had no narrative, and all of my friends that played co-op with me stopped playing to play CoD did not help it's case.

What he said. PS+ is definitely worth it if you buy any amount of content from the store. And I would be willing to bet that if you didn't buy it you would be kicking yourself when something came out that you wanted and it was heavily discounted or free.

Plus that gold plus sign next to your name is baller status!

I just fired up Section 8 and, I don't know if it's just me, but there were a ton of graphical glitches. Sections of the environment flashing colors and such.

PS+ is only good if you have a comfortable amount of money to burn on digital downloads, etc.

After that, it's either waiting for early access to Betas (a week early with Resistance 3 MP > a week early with the UC3 Beta), free icons/themes (you should already be getting free themes online anyway) or "free games" (great if you don't buy $60-a-shot games when they hit stores or prefer digital copies).

I'm not saying it's "not worth it" but you're only getting discounts when Sony or the companies working with them decide to give them to you.

No shit Sherlock. Obviously it's not worth it if you don't plan on buying anything. That's like saying a Costco membership isn't worth it if you don't plan on shopping there.

Thanks for the insight Captain Obvious.

What is there really to buy though if you aren't going fritter away money on everything they give you?

And this isn't even counting the one-week percentage sales they seem to do.

You're better off with the sales PSN does outside of PS+ at this point.

And before there's even an inkling of discussion about one-week/temporary sales between PS+ and non-PS+ members, you don't have to pay a fee to get at the THQ price drops this week versus fucking Cuboid DLC...

[Twigg4075]

Has anyone with PS+ been receiving auto game updates? I haven't seen one in quite a while and I use to see them pretty regularly. I know for a fact that there was a Killzone 33 patch recently but yet I never received an auto-update.
