Ghost of Sparta demo coming for PS Plus subscribers photo

If you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber, there's a whole bunch stuff coming your way next week. This includes the Mini game, Blast Off, for free. Also for free? Some game add-ons, including stuff for UFC Undisputed 2010 and Warhawk. And the September issue of Qore! And some free XMB Themes!

Wait, what's this? Something… actually interesting? It's early access to the demo for God of War: Ghost of Sparta for PlayStation Portable! I knew there was a reason I signed up for PS Plus. The demo will give you an early look at Kratos' upcoming portable adventure, which hits shelves on November 2. While Sony hasn't confirmed it, the demo should be what we've either played or seen earlier this year at press events. It's impressive -- you'll want to get your hands on it if you can.

For more details on what you can expect in next week's update for PS Plus subscribers, head over to the PlayStation Blog. But seriously, none of it is as interesting as the Ghost of Sparta demo. Really.

You really like your PlayStation, Romo! Out of curiosity, where do you live? I'm wondering if it's something in the water! Haha.

I love God of War.

I like knowing I haven't wasted money on PSN Plus more.

Blast off is actually a pretty decent game. I believe Dale reviewed and liked it too!

Life is good here at PSN+. I've heard that Street Fighter 2 HD remix is one of the free games coming down the pipe too.

This PSN+ deal has paid off for me in spades. I've already gotten my $50 out of it. Everything else is gravy.

Well, i am enjoying the console and specifically the Sony brand since the PS1 days. Haha.
No i don't think there's something wrong with the water from the tap. Is there? o_0

Well, it's recycled waste water, so if you're OK with drinking remnants of Blood, Semen, and Faeces, go for it.

Of course, you could be a man and say fuck it, Like I do.
Straight from the tap.

Interesting, Romo artfully dodges the question.

Thanks for making me think twice before swallowing the delicious tap water that was in my mouth.

I don't know if a demo is reason enough for a Plus service, but at least I can exploit a free trial to try this.

can't you just download the demo off of a website and drop it on the stick? won't they run regardless of if your psp is hacked?

of all the good good reasons why to buy ps+, a psp demo or any demo for that fact is not one of them.

@Romo Metaxxas:

Wondering where your tap is located (i.e. where do you live)? I drink water from the tap, too. Baltimore water tastes fine... as long as it's filtered. Heavily.

Are you trying to imply that a certain competitors service doesn't limit early demo access to its paying members?

What's the point? It will be on megaupload before the day's down (the demo that is).

no psp, so no dice. I'm still waiting for PSN+ to have a GREAT Week/month before I decide..

I already got it downloaded, got a code last night off of the examiner (on N4G) this game truly pushes the power of the PSP to the fullest!

@LittleBigD

I apologize, I missed the part about "early access" and read it as only PS+ subscribers getting the demo at all.

Comment retracted.

If you paid for PS+ your subscription was entirely justified by Critter Crunch.

Critter Crunch is worth 50 dollars a year.

Critter Crunch is worth three easy payments of 400 dollars.

Critter Crunch is worth taking an extra job and working horrible hours.

I agree: great game. (Then again, I only paid $7 for it.)

Critter Crunch is worth $1.99 in the iTunes app store.

It's the original version, PSN version is an iPhone port.

No thanks, not necessary needed (at least for me) and not a reason at all to join Playstation Plus :P

PS+ is a waste of money. Most of the good stuff still costs money. The only reason I bought it is cross game chat, and obviously I wasn't paying a ton of attention when I did so.

I already got a code to download it from the Spartan Army.

I don't think I'd ever get PlayStation Plus.

I sure don't pay for or get XBOX Live gold.
