You realize the demo comes to regular PSN in 2 days?

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/...-new-releases/

What exactly are the pluses to PSN Plus?

Free games, and discounts on lots of stuff.

How much is it? Worth it?

I dunno, seems like a really shitty version of LIVE, so I never bothered to look.

18 bucks for 3 months. 50 for a year.

lol so then no, it's not worth it.

Thought the demo was supposed to be out for everyone today? Sony is slacking if it is!

Nah sometimes they add stuff really late.

Some things get added throughout the day

demo is up. i hope that $50 or whatever you wasted was worth playing this for 2 days.

PS Plus isn't really a waste, seeing as you get a ton of discounts and free games. Just really depends what you're into. Definitely been worth the money for me.

i hear you lose your cloud saves once you stop subscribing

I've heard that, but I've also heard you have some time to resubscribe (up to 6 months.) Not sure which is true.

Also, anything you've gotten for free under Playstation plus (well, at least all the games, not sure about the DLC) goes away once you stop subscribing as well.

What games are free under this? Better yet, provide a link with all the details if there is one. May finally give in and get a PSTriple this year.

$18. And yes.

Some places have coined this the surprise of PAX because it's actually good. Now I've got my PS3 working, may Czech out the demo.

This >>>>>>>> Street Fighter 4!

One game that I saw free under PS Plus was the original Sonic for Genesis.

Edit - This Demo kicks ass, thinking of getting it on release.

OK, this was the first time I've really ever had fun with an MK game. It has depth and everything.

Only question mark is the character balance, but if that's sorted out, then there's an impressive game here.

Oh, but ignore DMac. He must be as high as Jeff Hardy to think it's as good as SSF4.

But it's a damn fun alternate to the game of the forever, so fair play.

Oh but it is.

Why do I doubt that D Mac is correct, here?

I like that they stay damaged.

so some guy hacked the demo and basically spoiled the whole game lol

I always thought it was kind of cheating to let Raiden in the tournament. I mean, it's Mortal Kombat, after all, and he's a freaking god.

He gives up his god status and becomes mortal to compete

The European Kollectors Edition is different for the US. We get this:

http://mksecrets.net/images/newsarch...ry/image29.jpg

*Kollectible figurine of Scorpion and Sub-Zero: Hand sculpted with high level of detail

*The Art of Mortal Kombat: A 110+ page book featuring original concept sketches and game art from the 2011 version of Mortal Kombat.

*Retro-Ninja costume: Exclusive alternate in-game costume inspired by the original character design of Ermac.

*Avatar costumes: Customise your Xbox LIVE avatar with Mortal Kombat costumes and challenge your friends in our new King of the Hill online mode.

And a steelbook packaging.

the US one is the same except we get book ends of the figures and you guys get a statue

Doesn't Raiden end up doing that because he has little confidence in Earth winning except for the one time Lui Kang won to end the streak of Outworld's dominance?

I think one of the endings for Deception has him turning evil because he got sick and tired of always having to help Earth or fix the mistakes of their fighters (one decided to awaken the Dragon King).

Mortal Kombat

Raiden was invited to compete in the Mortal Kombat tournament, by Shang Tsung himself. Raiden accepted the invitation and took human form to compete.

Mortal Kombat II

Watching events unfold from high above, Raiden realises the grim intentions of Shao Kahn. Raiden warns the last remaining members of the shaolin tournament Liu Kang and Kung Lao of Shao Kahn's threat. Raiden then disappears and ventures to outworld alone.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy

Despite Shao Kahn taking every soul on Earth as his own, Raiden was able to protect the souls of Liu Kang and other chosen warriors. At first unable to participate due to the merger of both realms, Raiden decided to sacrifice his own immortality in order to help his chances against Kahn after the Elder Gods refused to assist him. In the end, Kahn's forces were defeated, repelling the invasion back into Outworld and restoring Earth to its rightful state.

Deception
This time, disaster struck the heroes. The Earthrealm warriors Jax Briggs, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage were slain in battle with a Tarkatan horde; Kitana was slain by Quan Chi, and Kung Lao was slain by Shang Tsung. In a desperate measure, Raiden personally confronted Shang Tsung and Quan Chi in front of the Soulnado. Raiden put up an admirable fight and managed to hold his own against both villains for a while, but the combined powers of the two were in the end too much, and Raiden was defeated. He returned to his feet when Onaga, the Dragon King, entered the chamber. Momentarily putting his differences aside with Tsung and Quan Chi, he assisted them in their attempts to repel Onaga. When he saw that their attacks barely made an impact, Raiden released his godly essence, resulting in an enormous explosion. It obliterated the Dragon King's tomb, snuffed out the Soulnado, and killed both members of the Deadly Alliance, yet did little damage to Onaga.
After doing battle with the Deadly Alliance in the netherealm, Raiden's essence soon gathered again in the Earthrealm, but the essence came back corrupted. He had now become furious with the way Earthrealm's inhabitants had treated their own realm. He became even more enraged when he learned that Shujinko had foolishly unleashed the Dragon King by attaining the Kamidogu of various realms for him. With that, his patience exhausted, Raiden decided he was going to take matters into his own hands. Removing Liu Kang's body from its grave, Raiden took it to an underground temple that belonged to an ancient sect of necromancers called the Houan, whom he had destroyed centuries earlier. Binding Kang's body with enchanted shackles the Houan had used to control their revived undead, Raiden spoke the enchantments etched into the temple's walls that revived his former ally, infusing it with a thunderclap of lightning. The corpse of Liu Kang was now the enforcer of Raiden's will, and he sent it on a mission to wreak havoc on those he believed did harm to Earthrealm. This caught the attention of Shinnok, who appeared before Raiden and offered him an alliance. If Raiden were to assist him in whatever he wanted, Shinnok would try to ensure the safety of Earthrealm. Raiden was well aware of Shinnok's deceptive nature, but he accepted the offer in an attempt to secretly uncover Shinnok's plans.
