I got 40GB and many games in less than 2 days on DSL. Plus if I want to play an old game, I don't have to wait for Gamefly twice for the same game. It's not just like renting.

Renting is an agreement where a payment is made for the temporary use of a good, service or property owned by another. Yes, it is renting.

You have to wait in the mail for Gamefly.

And you have to return games to get more games. And Gamefly costs a lot more money for less games. Big difference.

Its a pretty good deal, I got a 3 month subscription this month just for it, but its still just renting the games. My only complaints are the slow downloads and the fact that the games take twice the HDD space that they say they do.

Change ISP my PSN game download just as fast as my PC ones do. PSN+ Is not a renting service,is a discount service like sams or cotsco,where ever you like to admit it or not is up to you,the no extra charge games which only work as long as you are subscribe to PSN+ are just a nice extra... And in reality no my opinion PSN+ is 1 million times better than xbox live if not more,XBL has no value what so ever,it doesn't give you access to any games without extra charge or anything,it just allow you to play the games you already pay full price for online,if you don't pay for the scam that xbox live is,you don't play online as simple as that... Oh and as soon as your 12 months are up you can't play any more online,unless you pay again,isn't that kind of renting multiplaying.?

[QUOTE="tormentos"] PSN+ Is not a renting service,

They say that because once your sub runs out you cant play the games anymore.

I saw all those free games for psn plus and thought, they worth more than that 50 bucks I pay Sony for one year. I really tempting to get Plus, but I don't know, there are only one or two games that I want from all those free games.

Hope my 60GB drive won't prove too much of an inconvenience. Managed to free up 30GB. You only get a month to download the stuff of each update, half a month for this one. Getting a new drive would effectively double the price of Plus, making it a wee bit less appealing. So I'm probably not gonna do that.

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]Are those games free or do you have to buy them?Slow_Show

You have to subscribe to PSN+, and you lose acccess to them once your sub runs out. So the TC's point about "paying to play online" is a touch odd.

Plus this can be done on live as well, so I don't understand how we are getting "owned":

Discounts

wallpapers

exclusive access to demos 1 week earlier then the normal psn store

Exclusive Access to Betas

Cloud Saving

Automatic updates - (love this the ps3 turns on, updates ANY game you have that needs updating, or updates the console itself, or finishes any downloads you have pending, installs it all, syncs trophys, then switches off by itself!)

Is this what they announced at E3? That's a lot of games, PS+ is a great deal but it certainly isn't free, you need to be subscribed to play those games.

Except when you buy an item at Sams or Costco, that item is yours from that point on, regardless of wether or not you choose to renew your membership to their services after they expire. If your PSN+ subscription runs out, the games are no longer are accessible to you until you resubscribe. Therefore PSN+ is a rental service. You never own any of these "free" games, you only pay to rent them.

Yup thats about right. Paying PSN to rent games that you lose access to all together after your PSN+ subscription runs out. Basically gipped by Sony.

ITT: People still confused over what PS+ provides and whining about it being a premium service.

Yup thats right and XBL is paying for the online parts to your games which you lose access to when your subscription runs out. Basically getting ripped off by Microsoft.
