Are you a Playstation Plus member?

I just recently decided to become one, and was just curious to see how many people actually signed up for it.

Definitely!

Despite the popular misconception, you won't lose all titles once your subscription is up. I've at least six decent titles obtained since becoming a member that a perma-keeps :D

Sure am

No, I'm not interested in PSN titles, the whole thing just doesn't hold any appeal for me.

No, as far as I'm concerned it's a waste of money.

nope

No and I never will be. They never have anything on it I care about and even if they did when it expired all the free stuff is gone making it a waste of money. Also what happens to all the free stuff when PS4 is released? Unless it transfers over it will all be gone as well.

i've had PS Plus since day one, and i still have it going on

No, as far as I'm concerned it's a waste of money.

Most of the games ARE fun :?

But you're right I wouldn't try many of them out paying $9.99 a pop, that's why I'm glad PSN+ gives me many more options for $50, I've been pleasantly surprised by several PSN games that I might never have played otherwise.

I was thinking about becoming a member until I heard that you that games you buy with the plus membership are no longer playable when your membership expires. Can anyone confirm is that true?

yes that is true

No it isn't true. Some games can indeed be kept once your membership is up. You can easily check for yourself (assuming you're a member) by pressing triangle on a downloaded game, selecting 'information' and scrolling down to see when it expires. Games I've downloaded which have had no expiration included Sam and Max, Stacking, Magic the Gathering, Critter Crunch, Plants vs Zombies, Castle Crashers and Costume Quest.

That's slightly less than half of the free games I've downloaded over my year long membership but considering it only set me back $50 I'm quite pleased.

Found a link too :)

let me rephrase that, most games that do not have a demo expire

I might consider joining to backup saves, we'll see.

No.

I rarely buy anything from the store so it's not worth it for me.

Signed up for 3 months just so I could play Speedball 2 early.

If you buy a lot of stuff, I guess you'll get your money back but I don't think I'll renew after the 3 months expire.

Prior to being a Playstation Plus member I typically bought 2 to 3 games from the store a month. Now that I am the Playstation Plus saves me some money. I currently have over 100 PSN games.

Yes I am. I've subscribed a few months ago when they were offering 3 free months. Biggest deals I've had (IMO) so far are RE4 50% off, Dead Nation free, Plants vs Zombies free, Braid 75% off, RE free, RE2 free, RE3 free, Cubixx HD 30% off, Back to the future free and some deals on DLC like GT5's.

But I'm still not entirely convinced it's for everyone. I like to try many different things, so I'm enjoying it, but if you're not into trying dozens of "small" games and getting DLCs, it's not worth it.

...Also what happens to all the free stuff when PS4 is released? Unless it transfers over it will all be gone as well.

It depends what you mean when you say "buy". The games that you actually buy from the PSN with a PS+ discount are yours to keep forever. But (most of) the games you get for "free" with your membership do expire when your PS+ membership expires. If you renew your PS+ membership they work again, though.

Because I buy a lot of PSN games, PS+ with all of its discounts has been well worth it for me. Plus I really like the cloud saving ability so I can sync my saves between consoles with no problems.

No, as far as I'm concerned it's a waste of money.

yes that is true

I was a member, I just need to renew my subscription...totally worth it

I signed up when it first came out and got 3 months free, I don't know if I'll renew though.

No I'm not. I keep contemplating whether or not to sign up.

I like the auto-save sync to the cloud option (150 MB available, of which I've never filled), as well as the freebies.

Here's this month's offerings:
