The free games they give you, at least in the US, aren't that great. In the two months of service I have gotten from them I have not actually downloaded a single game. I regret paying for my three months. Their discounts are what the regular prices should actually be.

Overpriced digital titles

And your future PS4 can't play them.

Would you be interested in a Surface Pro by any chance?

Vanquish and this month's stuff is okay, finally some games I haven't played elsewhere a year ago. But yeah, kinda not feeling PS+ anymore myself.

Thank god I fall under EU. Now you suckers can feel (to a much much lesser degree) what it's like having xbl gold outside the US

Huff · « **Reply #7 on:** March 05, 2013, 10:12:45 AM »

U cray. It's prefect for someone that doesn't buy a lot of games. I have a giant backlog because of it.

Free PC Online > Playstation Plus > XBL "GOLD"

archnemesis · « **Reply #9 on:** March 05, 2013, 10:19:26 AM »

I get plenty of value out of my PS+ subscription. It's a great way of trying out games you don't want to purchase.

I'm playing Vanquish for the first time for free*, your argument is invalid.

*Not really, but you know.

Finest service for poors such as me

Same here. My playstation purchases has literally gone down at least 50%.

Huff · « **Reply #15 on:** March 05, 2013, 03:12:41 PM »

the sales, while not on a steam level, are pretty good too, especially on their psn exclusive stuff

Does seem overrated for Vita owners.

iconoclast · « **Reply #17 on:** March 05, 2013, 03:18:31 PM »

I liked PS+ for the free Vita games. I almost bought a 1 year subscription the other day, but then I realized I'd probably only download a few games and it'd be a waste. Still better than XBL Gold at least.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #18 on:** March 05, 2013, 03:19:19 PM »

Yeah if you just had a Vita it'd be pretty shitty. There just aren't enough games for them to offer something free (that isn't garbage) after they shot their load this Xmas.

archnemesis · « **Reply #19 on:** March 05, 2013, 03:20:28 PM »

So far I've gotten the following Vita games as freebies:
• Chronovolt
• Gravity Rush
• Jet Set Radio
• Knytt Underground
• Mortal Kombat
• Pinball Arcade
• Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
• Uncharted: Golden Abyss

That's a lot better than what I was expecting. Mortal Kombat was a really nice surprise. I had written off the series a long time ago.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #20 on:** March 05, 2013, 03:35:41 PM »

If it wasn't for PSN+ I wouldn't have any games for my Vita other than the Call of Dooty that came with it.

edit - oh scratch that. I guess I did buy Virtue's Last Reward around Thanksgiving out of boredom. Haven't really touched it after getting out of the first room though.

Purple Filth · « **Reply #21 on:** March 05, 2013, 05:48:17 PM »

Agree with the "good for Vita" posts since i wouldn't be playing most of those games yet due to being a cheap bastard.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #22 on:** March 05, 2013, 05:49:58 PM »

People worship the shit out of Plus when they get what they want, then proclaim the service dead after a run of weak games or sales, as if it will never ever have good stuff on sale ever again.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #23 on:** March 05, 2013, 06:17:39 PM »

I've got a hefty backlog of games on my Veetor that I got from Plus. There's plenty for me to play once I finish Persona 4 Golden

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #24 on:** March 05, 2013, 06:55:56 PM »

These "free" games are all disabled if you stop paying for Plus right?

What if you lapse for 6 months, do they get restored?

Beezy · « **Reply #25 on:** March 05, 2013, 06:56:34 PM »

What purpose will PS+ serve during the early days of PS4? PS3 games in the cloud? They obviously won't be giving away PS4 games.

They'll trickle them out like they're doing with Vita and everything will be a risky buy until the games start coming out en masse.

How ps plus works as a ps4 accessory is probably going to determine when I get a ps4

once you resub your games will reactivate and it will even push those games to the top of your download list if you need to download them again.

Gonna be interesting to see what they tweak for PS4

Some months are better than others but the good months really make it worth it.
