Bit of a heads up for PS+ peeps. Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood both seem to be appearing as free for Plus members at the moment. Might be worth 'purchasing' them for download at some point.

Need to look under >games >all games on the (horribly clunky new) store to see the 'free' price. Brotherhood says something about it being a trial, but at the same time it also says full game, and 2 just says the full game is free. Bit of a Brucey bonus.

    Yeah, seriously, they have messed up the store SO MUCH. All I wanted was to use the triangle button or something to add to cart without going in - that's ALL IT NEEDED.

    Sweet I just bunged them in my download list.

    That is quite a set you have there, fp, if you don't mind me saying.

    You may be right. It just seemed strange that the main purchase link went straight to the free version. Might just be the glitchy nature of the store at the moment.

    Apologies if I have wasted anyone's time. I'm ducking out of here now, in case someone starts throwing eggs at me.

    LOL Sorry But Not One Person Confirmed



    Yes, that's the way it works here. I (& a few others) have made suggestions to change this, but Admin knows best.

    Here is an example for earlier this week:

    "console clearance in morrisons ds/dsi/psp £35 fat ps3 £100 fat xbox £50 star wars xbox £200"

    See how long it takes in that thread before somebody (including the member that listed the "Deal" who works for the merchant!) takes to confirm availability.

    Be fair - all these games are 6GB+. So no one has confirmed yet because they're still downloading!

    All I can say is AC2 looked free in every way but it doesn't now. Bioshock 2 also came up as a previously purchased thing for me both full game and full trial. All I've done before is download the trial but I deleted it before playing.

    Matt Its 2012!!! 6gb. 15mins????

    You must have a quick download speed, ha for me to download 6gb usually takes about 2 hours
  14. deleted637304's avatar
    Are you sure this isn't just a 'full game trial' which is where you get to play the full game for one hour?

    No idea. Just relaying what I found, in case it helps someone. I don't have the download space or time to check it out myself, but it is probably worth sticking them on your download list in any case.

    Indeed. I think it is good value given the number of titles & cost of every set of downloadable content, but I can see how others would just see the asking price & vote based on that.

    I am almost tempted to sell my existing titles & buy the whole franchise/story (well, excluding the mobile & PlayStation Vita outings) in one set.

    Almost.

    Then again...I have far too much other stuff to play, & I was very disappointed with the original "Assassin's Creed" (compared to the recent "Prince of Persia" titles that were available just before the new series started).

    I don't see anything for Brotherhood (except the complete edition, which is £15.99 or something, with not even a trial version available).

    I did grab what appears to be the full version of AC2 though

    £119 is madness esp for all the games

    A realistic price of around £59-79 would have been a bit more appealing tbh

    I'm waiting for Crysis 2 to finish before I even start AC2. Fingers crossed. Of course I rattled through the buying process pretty quickly (in case they fixed it), so I'm not absolutely certain... we'll see.

    Yes, all game trials. Don't bother wasting your time. OP clearly just doesn't know about how PS+ works

    Of course, anything cheaper would have been better.

    The price will fall with time, but still I do not think it is a bad price for five brand new titles + downloadable content in a special Collectors' Steelbook/packaging with the exclusive Lithographs.

    I am not defending it though. As I said, I do not like the franchise but I can see the attraction in the way it is packaged/presented.

    AC2 definitely looks like the full game. It has options for full game or full game trial and they're both free. ACB looks like trial only. Interestingly Bioshock 2 is also coming up as purchased for me, which I definitely haven't bought before, so I'm trying that too. Haven't bothered with full game trials before so I don't know what to expect, but as I say AC2 definitely seems to be free.

  34. hippyharry's avatar
    Agreed. It's the full game. Every other game that costs money has the trial option too. It's just this has it too, but because you have selected to "buy" the full version the cost is £0.00.

    Cheers again OP!

    Shows £9.99 for me or £14.99 for 'complete' pack

    In my download list AC2 shows full game just like if I'd got a full game from previous PS plus deals
