The reason why it's a rip off is because they are free WITH A CATCH. Anyone who doesn't understand that must have something wrong with their brain.

And the only people defending it are the suckers who paid for it so they need to try and come up with half-assed reasons to reassure themselves that it's worth their money when they know in the back of their mind that it's really not.

GAMESHARQ

And I'm sure many people think something's wrong with your brain because you seem to think it's such a ripoff. It's been clearly stated by Sony that these games and DLC are tied to the subscription, so anyone crying about this fact after purchasing a subscription totally deserves what they get. It wasn't hidden in the fine print. Also, that's really not a catch at all. Like I said before, if you expect Sony to pay publishers enough so that it would be able to give away these games and DLC for free forever to all subscribers for $50 per year, you're crazy. Sony would be losing tons of money, and people would stop buying games and DLC from PSN. This is the only way to set up such a service so that it would stop from fully cannibalizing their sales.

[QUOTE="grand17"]lol this thread is pretty funny...and kinda sad for the record, my opinion is, you shouldnt even expect to keep the games after your membership expires.

Exactly, its a bonus of PS+.. Not a gift from Sony, too many people are just materialistic and spoilt. I remember the "My info was hacked and i only got two games, it should atleast be [insert stupid demand by a stupid person]".

Try living in Australia - this months PSN deal was 1 crappy game and they seriously put a bunch of EA games that were already on sale in the PSN+ listing as deals. ;) I for 1 won't be re-newing my 1 year subscription when it ends.

After the "welcome back" trial subscription, I agree that the cost exceeds the benefits. No plans to sign up here.

After experiencing PS+ for a year, I felt that it isn't worth it. There are many things in PS+ that didn't appeal me. I would prefer to save £40 than spending it for some crap Minis freebies!

actually it is not a rip off. You have to be a heavy user of the PSN store to get the full benefit. You actually save a lot. Plus you got a free 30 trial. How can that be a rip off? You are able to see if PS+ is for you for free.IGN actually had a good article on if PS+ is worth it. (Sorry Gamespot, for promoting IGN)

The math is done for you in that article and Yes PS Plus is worth it.

Megavideogamer

Not even a heavy user, £9 a month can be achieved just buying 2-3 games in a whole month, to get the benefit of the discounts i agree but you gotta have a lot of time and money to make use of the discounts which again puts a whole lot of cash into Sonys pockets even though you save a lot.
