I will continue subscribing to PS+* as long as the features are good for PS3 users. I do not want to buy access to any online multiplayer, so I may refrain from renewing my subscription when support for the PS3 ceases.

Not spending the extra coin on a feature I rarely, and I mean rarely, use. As long as they take out the required online trophy to Plat with this, I'm good with their decision to charge for their network. I also don't have a lot of spare hobby time, so all those free games aren't worth the expense. If my free time expands down the road, and they still offer tons of free titles, I might try it out.

[QUOTE="Zidaneski"]

[QUOTE="Shielder7"] What perks? What Sony calls perks I call annoyances. Shielder7



Discounts is one thing I will mention, normally I just use the cloud saving and play the "free" games, but discounted games you can keep even if you unsubscribe. I just bought Batman: AA for $4.99 and will probably download SotC as well and I have both of those games on disc, best of both worlds. 

Unless of course you live in Canada like me where shirking data caps are a reality or prefer Physical copies of games. Also they're not free if you're paying for them.

They are getting more and more data caps here in US too. I went from unlimited to 150gb. It sucks more and more things want to go all digital and now I will pay more to use online that before.

If you are talking about the Instant Games Collection, it is not free because you pay for access to it.

I used to pay for xbl and had PS+ for a while so I don't think it will be devastating to pay for games again, but I'm not a fan of doing it. Gonna have to be a good game for me to pay for some online games when I can just play on steam for free.

Nothing beats PC lmao but psn plus is the best deal on console. The instant games collection is worth the price of the service all by itself.

if you have a PS3 and enjoy PS3+ for the free games on gets on there then having it for the PS4 just for online isn't any extra cost. But if someone didn't have a PS3 and just had a PS4 and got PS+ then maybe it could take a while to pay off, after all I imagine there won't be good value free games for the PS4 through PS+ until the game library has grown and games have been squeezed for all significant profitability, maybe in the meantime on the PS4 end people will just see discounts to downloadable add-ons and digital download games.

[QUOTE="mynamesdenvrmax"]

Where are all the people who claimed "You already pay for internet, Microsoft is ripping you off!" They seem to be pretty quiet about online play being restricted to paying members.

Gargus

1) Sony has stated that they dont require PS+ for all online games. They are letting publishers and developers decide if they want to put their online game behind the PS+ paywall. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/13/ps4-publishers-decide-if-free-to-play-needs-ps-plus

2) Games labeled as free do not require PS+ to play them. Dc universe online, warframe, planetside 2 and so on which are free games can be played online without having to pay for PS+ http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/17/ps4-planetside-2-dc-universe-online-will-not-require-playstatio/

3) Netflix, internet access, cross game chat and so on do not require ps+ http://www.gamechup.com/ps4-playstation-plus-details-cross-game-chat-doesnt-require-the-service/ and http://www.gamesradar.com/playstation-plus-not-needed-netflix-f2p-multiplayer-ps4/

The original argument was based on the fact that sony was giving its customers for free what microsoft was charging for. There is no argument now that they both are charging. But even still sony is still giving users things for free that microsoft is charging for.

Sony still has a drastic edge in the value department. For 50 bucks PS+ has 18 games instantly, 5 new games a month, discounts on the PSN store and a lot more while microsoft charges 60 bucks a year and only gives 2 games a month.

But as I showed above, sony is not locking everything online behind the PS+ paywall while microsoft is.

Exactly, Sony still has the advantage. Id much rather pay for PS+ then XBL

I just signed up to PS+ this week and I am happy to say I have 7 free games.

Hell yeah I will be staying with PS+! The deals are great! Just never go to the rip off US store. EU account for getting those sweet deals.

 

I kinda think they will lower the quality of free games on the PS4 but, enjoy what you have and after all, they are free. Nevermind the kickass discounts.

Do I want to pay M$ $60 to use Netflix or pay Sony $50 for $2000 worth of games a year. Tough call but I think I'll go with PS+.

I'm not sure wether I'll get onto the PS+ train or not. I'd be more apt to opt into + if it wasn't required for online play. I gave Microsoft alot of flak for it back in the day and still think it's a ludicrous prospect I may just have to source myself to my PC for my online gameplay experiences (Where 99% of them are nowdays anyways)

Arguably the experience is being taken away not added to since they're technically making you pay for a game you already paid for.

I will be getting a PS4, and I will be keeping my PS+ membership. I really don't play online that much, but $50 a year for all the games and discounts they give you is too good to pass up.

There really is no reason to complain about paying for ps+ because if you think about it, per day it costs about 18 cents.

A lot of gamers are strictly SP and offline players, so paying for ps+ isn't required.

Getting PS+. I like to play co-op games like Borderlands online and some competitive multiplayer. I'm really not bothered by the price or the principle.

I am getting a PS4 with probably no PSN+...I just don't find any worth in it besides how they now made online multi a feature by taking it away. That being said, I don't play many online multi games(really just DOA and that's ever so rarely) so I should be fine

I'll probably get PSN+ but not right away.

I'm primarily a single player gamer.  Yeah, I know multiplayer is all the rage nowadays but us sp types exist too you know.  Also I already have my internet bill, so I'm reluctant to add another on top of that as well (especially since I can use my PC for mp games as well).  

That said, PSN+ isn't terribly expensive, and it seems like a decent deal since you get free games...so I might as well.

That's pretty much my boat I don't care about the deals and prefer physical copies even without my data cap, lucky not everything will be behind a PSN+ pay wall and will be left up to the publishers which means just EA and probably Activision. It will be interesting to see what publishers do especially those in direct competition with other similar games coming out as most people will pick the one without the PSN pay wall.

Not even close. I never had any complaints with PSN because I never have asked much of it.
