Sucker Punch’s inFamous might have been one of PlayStation Plus’ first ‘try before you buy’ games, but it appears that it’s available to everyone anyway, at least over in the States. One of Plus’ main features was the ability for gamers to demo a couple of PlayStation 3 games each month, downloading the whole thing and playing for an hour.
Well, if inFamous is anything to go by, it looks like regular, nonplussed PS3 owners will still be able to buy and download the full versions of games as they hit the store, they just won’t be able to give them a test run first. inFamous is an odd game to start with, it’s such a high profile title that most will have already bought it anyway, but it’s worth noting that the download is 7GB, which is quite a whopper.
Update: early reports suggest inFamous is gameshareable. Odd.
In addition, Japanese gamers have awoken to find their Store is now PlayStation Plus ready (SCEE are yet to update) and it looks like they get Little Big Planet too for subscribing, alongside Toro Mini Golf, Pain, Echochrome and some avatars, all included in the fee.
We’ll have more from PlayStation Plus once the European version goes live.
