The new PlayStation Plus has finally launched and will be available in the US soon but it looks like Sony is already being a little cheap and weird about its new service.

In other news; Raven staffers form a historic union, EA tells employees to keep quiet about abortion, Xbox made a big mistake, and three PlayStation franchises are coming to TV. This week’s 5-Second Review overestimates how into football vampires living in Boston would be and the Coming Soon sections ushers in Diablo Immortal.

Ah. We forgot to mention the thing about a lot of the PS Plus games being the PAL versions and then a recent filter was added which causes a ghosting effect. Anyways - thanks all!

I've noticed this show doesn't get many views or comments, I wonder why that is

Doesn't game pass not include dlc? I thought that's how they people to buy the games. or is the issue that dlc can't be accessed at all and you can't buy it if you wanted.

@kLuDZ Are you piling on to his crack about Deflategate? Boo. :D If you are, that's funny considering Dunkin' Donuts comes out of New England. I didn't realize the vampire game was set in Boston, but then again it really wasn't on my radar. Cheers.
