OVER 40GB OF FREE GAMES - Playstation Plus updated = XBLA DESTROYED!

And MS locks out your real life disc game, you don't really own Halo or Gears or COD or any of your other games, you just own a portion and MS owns the rest, and you pay them so you can "borrow" your game from them for a year.

I'm rocking Silver at this moment, and I can still play every 360 game I own. The fundamental difference between games/content you buy while subrscribed to Gold and while subscribed to Plus is that you still have access to every game if you no longer pay for Gold, the same cannot be said for Plus.

And I do think you understand this, you just feel you need to keep up with the façade.

how much is ps+

johnnyblazed88

It's cheaper than an XBL Gold subscription.

It's $17.99 for 3 months or $49.99 for a year.

It will pay it'self off within the first month or two. Right now the total value of the "free" (at no additional cost really) games adds up to over $290 in value. That is a hell of a great deal, and that's JUST FOR THIS MONTH! Imagine the rest of the year! That's even more great deals!

And there is A LOT more to it then just "free" games. You get special discounts up to 75% off on some games, free themes and avatars, free cloud strorage, automatic updates and tropy syncs, exclusive beta access, and more!

One would have to be a complete and total idiot to hate on it, it's easily one of the most pro consumer deals in the history of gaming. Only reason why I wouldn't recommend it to someone is if they don't like to download, however for everyone else it's a must.

To be fair, you do keep "some" of your Plus games. I could still play Sonic even after my sub ran out for the month from the welcome back program. Though it's not every game mind you, and they don't tell you what ones they are either.

But none of that matters, the reality is that XBL is just a rental service too. Just for your real life disc games. You can't fully play Halo or Gears or COD or most other games without XBL Gold, in fact those games I mentioned arn't even worth owning in the first place without XBL Gold.

Their SP's just suck, it's all about the MP for them. Plus destroys XBL in every single way. It gives you so much more for your money it's not even a fair competition. There is no way around this.

I don't see why I have to explain this, it's just common sense. All one has to do is look at what Plus offers and then look at XBL Gold, it becomes obviously clear what the better deal is.

You can't defend XBL Gold fee when you compare it with Plus, XBL simply gets it's ass kicked.

I got a 360 first this gen before I got my PS3, and I always felt like I wasn't getting the full experience of my games becuase I didn't have XBL. I couldn't get all the achievements, I couldn't do all the content. Halo 3 and COD and Gears, all high scoring games, felt like a waste of money to me because I couldn't play the full experience of them. They didn't offer enough value to warrent a purchase just for the SP, it was only about the MP.

I felt left out too, my friends could play online and fully have access to their games on PS3 and XBL Gold, but not me. They could play with their friends, download DLC and updates that fixed bugs, get all the achievements, basically get the full experience out of their games. Unlike me because I didn't pay for XBL and didn't have the over priced WIFI adapter either.

I could buy Live now that I'm an adult and have a job, but it isn't worth it. I have played on XBL plenty of times, I am familar with the service and it's features. Only advantages I see is faster updates and cross game chat, other then that there is no difference between them. And to anyone with a brain they know FREE is better then Cross Game Chat (the fast updates are free for everyone, so that isn't what your paying for with a Gold subscription.)

XBL is a rip off, plain and simple. Plus is the much better value and deal. Only an idiot would argue otherwise. All your paying for anway with a Gold sub is online play (free everywhere else) and cross game chat, (free on PC and Vita) oh and access to pay for Netflix again (only have to pay once on other consoles).

That's it. Everything else is free to silver members.

[QUOTE="bbkkristian"]Yeah and then if PS+ runs out, you can't play those games. That's what they don't tell you.RavenLoud

>starts Gamefly subscription

>Free GAEMS.

oh wait. That's not how it works.

It seems like a good deal, but its only short term. If I want to go back and play those games in 5 years I won't be able to. At least with XBL MS has weekly deals, and once you buy something, Its yours. No subscription required.Plagueless

Umm....Plus has deals too, and if you buy a game on discount as a Plus member you keep that game no matter what, even if your Plus runs out. You keep everything you get with Plus except for the "free" games (really games at no additional cost). You keep these games forever as long as you stay a Plus Member.

You keep your themes, your discounted games you bought, your free avatars ect...everythihng but the "free" games. Dude there is no way around this, XBL gets it's ass handed to it by Plus.

You can't defend the XBL fee anymore. It doesn't even come close to offering a similar value to what Plus gives you. Plus SAVES you money, XBL TAKES your money.

It's clear what the better deal is here.

So I don't see Darksiders FOR FREE:evil:

lazerface216

that may be EU.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you could change your region on PSN? I could have sworn I remember hearing about people that did that before. I know people on PSN from the UK and they get American deals all the time, they even have games that are only on the Japan service.

I don't know if you can still do it anymore and I never tried it myself, but I think it might be possible to change your region to UK and download the Plus games from there.

I actually signed up for Plus because of this. MY harddrive is crying as it is running out of space.... 320gb isn't enough!!!! Need to have a 1terrabyte drive or more if possible. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know about the Oddworld, darkesiders, motorstorm, etc... I didn't see them when I went to the plus section (please tell me those games are for North America) I see games not on your list like Tomb raider, sideways new york , etc..Midnightshade29

Use the cloud storage, it comes in handy. I have 320 GB and while I still have plenty of memory left on my hard drive, I still recommend using the cloud storage for some of the games. Like Rachet and Clank which is 16 GB, Cloud Storage takes care of that for me.

And sorry, but only some of those games are in the North American store. But who knows? Next month they might bring some of those games to the North American Plus section and vice versa.

mems_1224

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="RogueShodown"] Gamefly is a ripoff if you know that most games are ~$40 on launch and even as low as $10 after 6 months. It's not like Gamefly gets all games on day 1. Then you account for people who use the service to play MP games. If they like the game, they'll play for a few months, wasting any reason to get them through the service. The only way I could see the service being worthwhile is if I play a bunch of older games and swap them for another disc quickly -- and that's assuming the shipping is fast. I don't think most people will want to get done with a game in only in a few days, unless they're trophy/achievement hunters.RogueShodown

I was so happy I had PSN plus still. Should be expiring very soon, I'll probably renew if you get a legit free game like that Jurassic Park game earlier in the year.

Free games do not maketh the service.

This is lame, these are old games that you've already played most likely, unless you're just a fake and pretend to play your PS3 and act like these are games you've never played. And you don't get to keep these games either, just a rental service, smh-RocBoys9489-

How come on the PC you can get insane deals, and free games without paying for a subscription, but on the PS3 you can not?

Because the people at Valve are Gods amongst men.

I was not, I was merely making an obvious statement.

Still, steam sales are amazing at times. I remember picking up dragon age origins + all DLC for 7 Euros.
Great buy.

Why would you "pay" to get discounts? discounts should be free for everyone, discounts are a way to get more costumers interested in buying the said product, in this case, game. The so called "free" games are a way to keep the customers interested in keeping the service. If there wasn't any free games included, I highly doubt many people would have psn plus, unless the often bought things from the store. If M$ actually offered more and something like psn plus, it would be great. But paying for xbl gold isn't that much considering you can get 1 year of gold for almost half the price of a game, if you know where to look and when to look. Can you find deals like that on psn plus cards? Ifone could, I'm sure many people would have plus. Just because one company wants to make certain things free, doesn't mean the other has to follow. Look how much of a profit M$ has made because of charging for online. If sony had started this psn plus thing sooner, they probably wouldn't be in as much debt as they are now.2ndWonder

Wow I should get a PS+ membership then cause M$ would never do this.

[QUOTE="tormentos"]PSN+ is a discount service with extra games for no extra charge,it doesn't get any better than that.Raymundo_Manuel

I swear I get this exact same thing on the PC only better, and without having to pay money for it.

There's too much irony in cows claiming lems have hurt the industry by paying for something available elsewhere for free, and then paying for PS+

PS Plus has always been a better value than XBL, anyone who isn't a deluded Xbox fanboy would admit it.

Plus completely destroys it. And sorry Lems you can't use the argument that "your just renting them", your just renting your games with XBL too, only difference is Plus is an option, XBL is not.

And MS locks out your real life disc game, you don't really own Halo or Gears or COD or any of your other games, you just own a portion and MS owns the rest, and you pay them so you can "borrow" your game from them for a year.

I'm a full year Plus member and it's one of the best decisions I ever made when it comes to gaming. It's already paid it'self off in like the first month and a half anyway.

Free or not, you get much more value than the 50$ you are paying, it is a win win situation .
