I'm looking at the cheap price of GameSpot Plus and thinking... "Wow, I just have to get that!"

But, I'm 14, and don't have a credit card =/

So I'm asking my mom if she'll get it and she said maybe.

But I'm trying to decide if I want it.

I really want a UCB. And a white screen-name (:lol:)

Do they make you renew monthly if you get the monthly thing? Or do they keep the charges going for a year?
And is it worth it?

There is NOTHING worthwhile about "Plus" or whatever they're calling it now. I was paying member a long time ago (hence my name still being colored), but they systematically removed every bonus we got (the first thing to go was the EB Games discount) until there was basically nothing left. If you were asking 6 years ago, I'd say yes... but now... absolutely not.

$2.95 a month. Or $19.99 for a year.

The only thing I'd like is the coloured username, so no.

Pay for a month then cancel it; the coloration sticks.

Doesn't look worth it at all to me; The features you get are very diminutive.

I had Total Access for two years. The downloads weren't any quicker and then I stopped caring about the Game part of the site altogether. I only kept it for no ads... but then Adblocker became just as good.

When you think about it, you're just paying gamespot $20 to do some minimal html editing to your user name for the forums, so I doubt it's worth the cost.

User created boards? Honestly, is that such a big deal? Id think they wouldnt be to crowded.

Can do it just for a month for the UCB like I did with my other account. Just end it a few days before the month is up. imo its not worth paying for more than a month

If it makes you feel any better, your screen name is always in white to me. :P

It does not look that great. probably for me the biggest draw would be the colored user name and that is like a 0.00001% care I have about gamespot.

It used to be worth it but they have been making it more and more worthless.
