How does the whole Play From Home thing work? It’s worded kind of funny saying it’s free to download till May. Is it like PS+ where I can claim it and it’s mine for good? Or more of a rental deal where it’s free for the duration of the promo? Or maybe free and permanent once you download but you can’t re-download after the May deadline?

I’ve got a copy on my shelf I paid :10bux: for so if it’s not permanent I’ll just use the disc.

You need to claim them while the offer is running, but once you've claimed them, they're yours to keep for good.

VV Nah, the Horizon giveaway is going until May 14th VV

It's free for good. The difference with PS+ is that the Play From Home games are free even if your PS+ account is not active.

However, I think H:ZD is only available to be put in your library until today. edit: scratch that they're saying until May 14th or so.

Sweet. Just claimed it on the app. I’ll download it tomorrow and in a few months flip the physical disc for my ten bucks back.

So many awesome games to play and so little time!

If we're lucky, the old webstore uses the same APIs as the PS3 and Vita stores. That would mean there's a chance they can't break that extension without also breaking the stores for those consoles.

I'm honestly impressed that even with how goddamned terrible the old PlayStation store was, Sony somehow found a way to make it worse.

Displaying add-ons and DLC for a game on that game's store page is an unnecessary luxury. Having to find them by knowing ahead of time that they exist and what they're called, and then looking them up in the store search, separate from the game itself, builds character.

Sony launched the PSP in a state that allowed anyone to run unsigned code on it. Just drop the file on the memory stick and go.

They fixed it in time for the western release but by then hackers already had a huge window into the inner workings of the system, so it was always an uphill battle.

Needing to hack my PSP was the only reason I gave Lumens a buy, never regretted it.

Wreckfest is the "modern" version of Destruction Derby and the last thing I saw was that they were going to charge for the PS4 to PS5 upgrade so that's nice.

Back during the life of the PSP, I lost my custom hacked firmware to play Generation of Chaos since I bought it physically and couldn't play without a system update.

The sheer feeling of "what the gently caress did I do that for" after playing the game for about 30 minutes was so depressing. Thankfully, hackers got another exploit working a few months after that, but I learned that I should really prioritize waiting if it means keeping a custom firmware.

I already own the PS4 version so I wonder if this is going to somehow gently caress up my permissions to get the Plus version.

I already claimed everything but checked on PC and phone when I saw your comment to see if they didn’t screw something up afterwards and everything was working on my end.
