[QUOTE="rp108"][QUOTE="TehNubTuber"] Dude Sony said they WOULD keep adding content what are you talking about?

Sorry but you are just flat out wrong. When you cancel Xbox Live you KEEP ALL YOUR GAMES YOU PAID FOR. Nice try though.
If you buy a game on PSN and cancel your PSN+ you still keep it too, what's your point?These games on PSN+ that are "free" are not free at all. They are rentals that are covered up by Sony using the word "free".
[QUOTE="cainetao11"][QUOTE="slvrraven9"] if you give a starving man a hotdog, itll be the best damn piece of food hes ever eaten in his life....TehNubTuberWow.......even i felt that burn. Well said. How was that well said? It makes no sense in the context of this thread, is he implying 360 users have gotten tons of free games and content from Live? Cause that a straight up lie. That's non sense. What I read from what he said is some have been starving for a reason to say PS online is better than Live. Yes MS asks for a fee to play games online. Fair? I don't think so, but $4 and change a month? Is it really that big a deal? When you get older and see how much you have given or thrown away, and realise none of it leaves here with you, it's meaningless. Now I hope you love your PS+ with all your heart, and wish happy gaming to you. But as Shakespeare wrote, "me thinks she dost protest too much". If you know it's so much better why are so riled to prove it to others?
[QUOTE="alstevens83"]Well MS has you by the balls, you either pay or you don't play so I don't blame you, it's nasty that they leach of a gamers need to pwn face online though.As much as i like the PS3 I only have the money for one online subscription at the moment and this is me personally I think I will end up sticking with Xbox live. However I guess this free trial deal is a good idea to give people an example of what PSN+ is going to be all about.
TehNubTuber
It's nothing by having myself by the balls, I know that having to pay to play online is a crap move to do however the way i am looking at it unless there is a 100% good reason then I think I would only use the PSN as the very basic which is for online play.
I think there is an expression about "Better trust the Devil you know than the Devil you don't"

If you buy a game on PSN and cancel your PSN+ you still keep it too, what's your point? The point is that your point is completely moot. Microsoft has been doing for years what Sony has just started to do. Welcome to the online age bro! Ill stick to using my PS3 for single player games only and still use console that has been revolutionizing online gameplay since it came out as my main console.These games on PSN+ that are "free" are not free at all. They are rentals that are covered up by Sony using the word "free".rp108In direct comparison, XBL is 50 a year and you can just buy games. With PSN+ you can play a few games (without paying for the game, lord knows we can't say free..) and you still have the option to buy. I don't understand how PSN+ is a bad thing.
[QUOTE="ZippySlappy"]Your region does seem to offer better stuff. :(. And more discounts too. :o Really? What does your region offer? That screen I showed you has 2 free games: Rally Cross and Age Of Zombies, 1 free dlc Warhawk, 2 free skins and a free theme...that's it... UK gets a full ps3 game, a bunch of dlc, 4 games on top of dlc and more...I don't see how my region is better. Most of those + are MASSIVE $1 DISCOUNTS! It's of the same value,different content though,that's what i meant. And you got a **** load of discounts we get like,i think 3 or 5. And you get Qore too.[QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"]

They are preparing their user base to pay for online service (i.e. Xbox Live) next gen. While they willl be "giving" free games and such, ultimately, PSN will be just like Live. Pay to play. Which is not all bad, considering it will allow them to invest in more bandwidth and centralized servers for it.

These games on PSN+ that are "free" are not free at all. They are rentals that are covered up by Sony using the word "free".
I explained it being a rental type service, Live is a rip off type service, pay the same amount just for the ability to acess the online portion of the games you already bought. PSN+ Live Gold.[QUOTE="rp108"]These games on PSN+ that are "free" are not free at all.

Agreed, it's not bad. I just dont see me using it enough to warrant subscription. I no longer subscribe to Gold either. My Gold ran out at the beginning of the month and I have three 1 month trial cards that I am using. When Reach comes out I will play online, same with Gears 3. But I don't play much online so again, if I don't see myself using it much, why pay for it, either console?
If I recall correctly games DLC and services + features will be added monthly! PSN games, mini, PS1 classics, DLC, features every month! Well, UK gets free LBP, wipeout HD, killzone add-ons, etc... Canada gets...3 months free, age of zombies (which I own), rally cross (who cares?), and warhawk DLC which costs $3.99 anyways :/[QUOTE="TehNubTuber"][QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"]
It kinda sucks in Canada, no LBP or destruction derby...not much content from what I can see here...as always, Canada gets left out in the lurch.
Andrew_Xavier
If they put out better content next month I'll get it, I was pretty excited to get LBP free and such even though I own WipeoutHD, kinda shocking that it isn't included, you'd think they'd put their best offer out upon release to convince people to join for $56.87
Canada always gets screwed out of these types of things :(It seems pretty medicore, but maybe that's because I have most of the things they're offering. I'll check back next month but I really doubt anything they put up will make me want to pay $50.

and if that day was to come, SONY will receive a huge smackdown from their fans. LOL yeah right. I love how sony lovers always bashed having to pay 4$ a month for Xbox Live, yet when Sony starts their own subscription fee all Sony lovers are saying how much better it is then Live now. It wasnt a contest before and its even less of one now. Before you got an inferior service for free, now you pay for an inferior service.can there be a more fitting example of the delusional nature of sw than some dude talking about how great his free games are that you need to spend $50 a year to get?
and if i'm going to blow $50 a year buying dlc why would i just not buy it outright and own exactly what i want to own for the games i have rather than just have some random content come up that i may or may not be interested in.
a buffet may be a great value sometimes but it's not if i'm not interested in what someone else decides i want.
You gotta remember the deals, games, DLC, PS1 classics, minis, PS3 games etc will change each month, so you'll have better and worse months, 1 single month may not be worth 50 bucks but at the end of the year if your a core gamer chances are you'll have saved hundreds of dollars.It seems pretty medicore, but maybe that's because I have most of the things they're already offering. I'll check back next month but I really doubt anything they put up will make me want to pay $50.

I know it's not free, it's a rental type service, I said so in the OP, however if you compare it to Live Gold it's as if it were free...can there be a more fitting example of the delusional nature of sw than some dude talking about how great his free games are that you need to spend $50 a year to get?

xbl makes me pay $50 to play online and it has the most features but i have to pay for most dlc.
ps+ makes me pay $50 and i get some random "free" stuff while i continue to pay but does nothing to address how far behind psn is when it comes to basic useability.
tbo i would have been more likely to give sony my $$$ if they had made psn as good as xbl instead of trying to tempt me into it with random dlc.
[QUOTE="Vinegar_Strokes"]
don't we all get the first 3 months free.
finalstar2007
Nope, only those who get the 1 year will have 3 months free. $49 for 15 months and games and content that are worth over $80 on its first month this is a great deal, i already am a 15 months PSN+ subscriber
wow....the hypocrisy of cows in this thread is amazing.
No cross game chat, no cross game invites, still have to install demos, games are leased instead of your to keep, ... but this thread is expected: [/img]themyth01You could make the same picture for every type of fanboy :P.
/yawn - Let me know when PSN gets Party System, Cross Game Chat, Cross Game voice msg, Universal Friends List, Universal prefer/avoid/mute, TruSkill, etc.

Explain. In one month we are getting 80$ worth of content, that's more then Live has given you all gen long. Each month this value will go up and up and up, all the while remaining optional... Live forces you to pay just to access part of the game you already bought... There is no hypocrisy here...Nothing is free. You fell for it. Just because Sony attached the word "free" to it means nothing. You're still paying to use the stuff and when you stop paying, you'll have nothing to show for it.

[QUOTE="RTUUMM"]Ok buddy PSN+ isnt all that great (yet) so calm down, Im pretty sure its going to get better as it keeps growing. PSN+ is good but lets not get carried away hereTehNubTuberIt's already better then Live :o Paying the same price as Live but getting Games, DLC, discounts and services > Paying to unlock sections of games you already own and payed for. Here is a question, why pay. PSN to play online is already free. (The only part that matters.) Some people who are so die hard can't see that this is a pointless play. As a consumer you get nothing in return of physical value as soon as you stop paying it all vanishes, like paying for XBL also pointless. Your paying a monthly subscription to play free games. The ones released so far are tripe. (Unless you count LBP but that is pure awesome!) The service is daft for any PS3 owner to have, I don't pay for live. I sure as hell won't be paying for games that sold poor so they give them away for free :P If you kept the games, then the service would be good (y)
[QUOTE="TehNubTuber"][QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"]If I recall correctly games DLC and services + features will be added monthly! PSN games, mini, PS1 classics, DLC, features every month! they wont be added, they will be switched out, as in rotated, so if you want something you better get it because its not there forever. oh and. Infamous full game 60 minute trial. 6.8 gig required. Afformented before you will spend longer to download this then the 60 minutes you get to play and then you have to deal with tutorials, the full price is still 29.99 its not changed, but you get to play 60 minutes before you decided to buy it or not and keep your progress and unlock trophies. Wipeout HD, free. Now while I never liked any of the wipeout games, let alone this one its free, so thats good in an of it self, but only as long as you sub. Rally cross ps1, free. yet again a game I don't care for but free so in and of it self it might appeal to others, but you lose it. Age of zombies, Free. this game appeals to me, I like it though It will end with sub. Warhawk Fallen Starpack, Free. I all ready have all the DLC for warhawk, I stopped playing warhawk a long time ago after the game was gimped over and over again, so this doesn't appeal to me, may appeal to others...but its such an old game why Sony would decide to add this to the launch line up I dont know... Collision theme,Free. Now this is likely the type of item you'll be able to keep even after your sub is up its a theme. Fat princess Fat roles pack, 1 dollar off 4.99. Now this is more like it a quite recent game's addon pack, and something I might look into geting to get back into the game. but why is it cost for? it should be free in my opinion. this is guranteed to be something you get to keep after your sub runs out. fat princess pink and blue avatars, Free. another one of the free items you would likely keep. Midway ****c games reduced in price. Gauntlet 2, Mortal Kombat, Rampage, Rampart, all 2 dollars and 50 cents so 50% off...you would keep these games after sub...but really they are good games, but I expected more from such a big event as ps plus. Tik games, Creat studios games reduced in price and addons free. Cuboid 7.99. All of cuboids addon packs are free, you are likely to keep the paid for game, but there is no gurantee you would keep the addon packs likely they would end with your sub. Hamsterball 7.99 Interpol: the Trail of dr.chaos 7.99 Magic Orbz 7.99 all of its addons are free Mahjong Tales: Ancient wisdom 7.99 Its addon pack is free. Smash Cars 11.99 Its addon pack is free. WakeBoarding HD, 11.99 So thats the complete list of what your getting with ps plus, its a pretty piss poor start, I would have thought that Sony would have offered far more attractive stuff for free and gotten better companies games to discounted prices, As well before those that correct me and say with the ps blog detailing ps plus features that you keep the addons. I will qoute directly the description of the service off the Playstation store. Playstation Plus delivers a new level of access and conveience so you can do more of what you love...playing games? playstation plus includes cool stuff like full game Trial where you can try before you buy. or enjoy early access to select demos and games, as well as priority beta invites. Best Of all, the value pays off with killer exclusive discounts, free games, and free downloads from the Playstation store, Free games and add-ons are yours to keep and use the entire time you are a playstation plus subscriber unless otherwise noted, all this and much more, check it out, Its your play. Now thats a conflicting message the playstation blog says you keep your addons, the description on the playstation store says unless otherwise noted you don't and I've yet to free on any of the free stuff I've seen it say you keep it. So we will just have to see if you do keep the addons. I am leaning towards not, After my last regretful issue with downloading any thing free off playstation store and then getting addons for it. *story is, is that they offered flow as a limited time free download, so I grabbed it, beat it, wanted to get the other trophies so I purchased and installed the addon (thats right you have to get a addon to get one of the trophies built into the original game) the addon would not work, So I deleted it and it reinstalled it still didn't work, did some research and looking around, and it turns out the free version of the game was specifically engineered no to work with the addon, so I went back to download it again, and because it was a limited download did not appear again in my download list...so I purchased a addon that wouldn't work and couldn't even get the free version back*It kinda sucks in Canada, no LBP or destruction derby...not much content from what I can see here...as always, Canada gets left out in the lurch.
WilliamRLBaker
You keep all free DLC, which would aslo include Addons. But if you got the game for free from psn+ and then got addons for it, you want keep the addons which would only make sense, since you don't get to keep the game. How would they uninstall a game addon, just from not renewing your subscription? Really?
[QUOTE="slvrraven9"][QUOTE="TehNubTuber"] It's already better then Live :o Paying the same price as Live but getting Games, DLC, discounts and services > Paying to unlock sections of games you already own and payed for.TehNubTuberim sorry but doesnt live still give away free games from time to time plus have more community activities as well as discounts and services, lets not forget these are things that live has been doing for years. dont get too ahead of yourself there buddy. No no and no. Your using very vague and unbased claims to discredit this amazing new service. Live doesn't give you anything for the fee, they milk you for something you already payed for. PSN+ in it's first month alone is already more value packed then Live has been since the beginning of this gen, and every month the value will grow. im only trying to get you to understand thats whats been added, while youre trying to discredit XBL, has already been done before and is still currently in play. im beginning to understand your lack of knowlege about Live and its services.
