GiganticTager2 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Maybe your PS+ has expired because I can still play mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasaDeBen Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well I know if you are not signed into the playstation network, after a certain time period your games wont be playable. check the date your ps+ expires, it may just not have updated itself?

grimydawg___ Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 ^^^ To add to Casa, just press triangle on the game you're trying to play and look at the information. It will tell you the date right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasaDeBen Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 pretty sure they put date first according to his? but mine makes no sense its either 5 or 6 months, I usually do 3 months at a time, so I am lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europeans (I guess the rest of the world) write their date different Piggy.....June 6th to Sep 5th- 3 month PS+ subscription I'm guessing Edited September 5, 2012 by broy300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbender93 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 That's right, here in Europe we use the dd/mm/aaaa form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanshah1991 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Today I faced the same problem whilst playing Borderlands.a message showed up:content will be expired in 30 minutes.and after 30 minutes it jumped to XMB.Even though I still got 49 days remaining!! I signed in and problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggie_Pie Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 LOL... whoops! I didn't think of that... I pay for a year at a time because i feel like i get more bang for my buck... mine should expire in the next few months i think... anyway, back on topic... so free games only last as long as the Plus membership right? so according to his last post his membership was up as of today and thus couldn't play the game anymore... am i hearing that right?

SitusKiss Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Yeah, the proper way to display the date! I prefer the US Navy's date format: dd MMM yyyy (e.g. today would be 05 SEP 2012) On topic: I believe only games that were free for PS+ expire correct? If you purchased a game with a PS+ discount you get to play it forever, right? Edited September 5, 2012 by bmj14772 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xvart Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 If it expires and you renew do you get your freebies back? Or once it expires it is done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasaDeBen Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 If it expires and you renew do you get your freebies back? Or once it expires it is done? as soon as you renew, you get access to all the freebies again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggie_Pie Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 i don't like the whole play online thing... its kinda dumb... what if i don't feel like playing online? To be honest sometimes i play offline just so i won't be bothered by messages (i will never ignore a message out of respect unless im AFK)... Sometimes i wish you can be online without being seen... maybe there should be a switch to ninja mode so you can still be surfing the PSN store but not be shown online or something... its a little controlling having to be online to play a game but then again it is a FREE game after all... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
