Playstation Plus; worth it?

Is it worth it? I dont buy many things off the Playstation Store, and obviously online play is already free on Playstation 3, so is the Playstation Plus subscription worth it? I was thinking about buying it with taxes, but Im not sure.

You seem to spend a lot of time on your 360, so probably not.

I had a lot of free time last year and I downloaded over 60 dollars worth of free/plus exclusive games so it was worth it for me. But I'm really busy this year so when it comes time to renew I'm not going to. If anyone will know if it's worth it...it's you.

Well it's a mixed bag. It's not for me personally. But it does offer good benefits. Reduced prices off games, and occasionally you will be able to download free games.

If you don't spend much money on PSN, then buying it would be a waste. But if you buy a lot of stuff and like the other perks of PS+, then go ahead and get it.

I miss the cloud storage, I'm waiting for the right time to go back to having PS+.

If you like being able to download a lot of good dd games for free, then yeah.

No need to go on. You don't need it. It's a service made for people who play constantly and buy things off PSN all the time....that and fanboys who just pay whatever fee that's ever asked of them. It's a ripoff.

Yea, really. The only reasons I can see subscribing to Plus is if you play for several hours every day and aren't very picky about what you play or if you really really like Sony and want to support them...fanboys.

The word isn't always intended as an insult y'know.

While we're on the subject, "entitled" isn't an insult either. As a consumer, you are actually "entitled" to a few things when you pay money for a game. But the over/mis-use of that word seems to be fading away thankfully.

Oh, sorry; I didn't mean to exclude all the idiots out there. I know how much they like gamefaq.

But I haven't paid a dime for PS+ and I still complain about how worthless it is.

At least it's optional, that's really the only complement that I can muster.

It's not a ripoff for you. That's why I said that it's for people who "buy things off PSN all the time" like you. It would be a ripoff for OP who doesn't buy many things off psn or me, who rents and thus hardly ever even looks at the psn store.

Access to early Betas and hour long trials of a whole game are good, demo's don't normally cut it for me i want something more substantial when trying a game. JohnF111

Are Betas really more substantial? I'd rather have a demo because you get a better idea of what the devs want the game to be.

I don't like this new fad of Betas being some sort of reward or bonus. Beta testing is a job, in fact (not too long ago) people used to get paid for Beta testing, so it's really weird to see people doing the opposite. But the reason that it's a job is because you're not just supposed to be having fun, you're supposed to be stress tesing and essentially trying to break (and find broken parts of) the game.

It's probably one of the reasons games are so much more buggy now: rather than getting feedback from employees, they're getting feedback from the fans who (if you can't tell from looking at these forums) try to avoid being critical of their favorite studios...even if it's for everyones own good. Just look at the Skyrim forums, you'll see tons of people saying, "oh yea, it crashed a few times. But I don't see any big issues."
