PSN+ IS OUT!! It's Mindblowingly Awesome. Live Eat Your Heart Out.

It's ridicilous that they give you a list of games that changes every month, and you have to choose from those. The whole thing just sounds kind of dumb IMO. I get a 3 month card and spend $50 worth of games and DLC, and than when the 3 months is over I'll have nothing.

If I wanted to rent games I'll go to Blockbuster what the hell.

funny how cows thinking that now they are paying they all of a sudden have a better online service than Live, Peeks at Halo 3 multiplayer numbers, peeks at MW2 multiplayer numbers on live compares them to Killzone 2, and Mw2 numbers, :LOL:

psn+ pay 50 bucks a year to rent 5-15 dollar games, dlc, 2 dollar thems and avaters, You still don't get cross game chat and psn will still go down. And freeze and crash.

XBL has larger record of downtime than PSN. What happened in holiday 2007 alone outweights all of PSN's downtime.

Xbox LIVE silver members have all the features PSN+ members do.KittenWishes

Except free online multiplayer that comes with a standard Playstation Network account.

Neither services are worth the money imo though.

PSN: 203,756

That difference is so small, I'd ask why it even matters?
If pure numbers make the product better, I'd hate to see your opinion on other subjects.

Cows are also under the illusion that this service is any good at all. Sony haven't actually ADDED anything, Cows are just paying not to own their own games.KittenWishes

Seems it is better. But I have no interest in paying another 45 euro a year. Since if I want to buy online on 360, I have to pay correction waste 40 euro a year because of microsoft greediness.

Microsoft should give some free stuff with their gold fee too. But they are known for greediness so I'm not expecting anything.

Those discounts are just normal gaming discounts (fairly old games and such), case in point Steam. Nothing to do with gold subscription, other than you have to have it to get that discount. Which again shows how greedy microsoft is.

And it's not free stuff.

every heard of deal of the week ?

The BORROWED games on PSN+ aren't free either. And The MIsadventures of P.B Winterbottom is only 3 months old and they are selling it at half price this week. Same with Darwinia+. I would rather have these awesome, weekly sales, knowing that they are MINE and I will be keeping them whether or not I opt to be a GOLD member, than to pay $50 a year to borrow them from Sony.KittenWishes

PSN+ gives you discount, and you can keep those games/dlc (for what it gives discount). On top of that psn+ borrows games for you (like you said). If you buy games when you have that psn+ those games are still yours (like you do with xbox live normal purchase) when going back to psn.

Yep 3 months is old this gen. Steam has gaming discounts on games that are 1-2 months old, never on new releases. Just like xbox live doesn't have. Normal discounting nothing to with gold subscription.

Also you are borrowing games/content on xbox live gold too. Online games and online specific dlcs, since they don't work anymore when you go back silver.

Here we go with the online specific DLC. I'm PRETTY SURE that anyone willing to shell out $20 for online DLC is more than capable of renewing their GOLD subscription. Jesus H Christ... I appreciate you trying your hardest but you're just repeating the same old thing over and over again. KittenWishes

Wow talk about huge selective reading. Somebody is losing argument? :P

You cute little lemming :lol:

Also with your logic I can say if person can pay 40 euro for psn+ then they can pay that amount years to come.

And it's still borrowing. You lose xbla bought online specific games when you go back to silver=you lose those free games when you go back to psn.

No I'm not, you're coming up with obscure scenario's about multiplayer DLC not being able to be used once someone goes back to silver. I said that if someone is willing to throw down $20 for 3 maps for MW2, then CHANCES ARE they can afford to renew their yearly subscription. What if the game no longer has a large multiplayer community? Will you blame Xbox LIVE Gold for that too? Jesus... Then you started wittering on about how 3 months is a long time and something about Steam that isn't relevant to anything being said here, all because I mentioned that there are weekly sales on XBLA, and I had just picked up an Arcade game for half-price.KittenWishes

Read my last post again I edited it. Looks like you can't keep up what I'm saying, but seeing as you are lemming I don't blame you :D

Anyway I'm done with this argument. I'm already proven you wrong like 3 or more times, and I have to go somewhere. Catch you later.

Why is anyone even complaining? It's optional. SONY's not forcing it down you.

Bottom line :
It's a good deal for people who buy alot of stuff from the PSN store.

All major features are free as of now.

Hulu used to be accessible on PS3's net browser. They took the compatibility off maybe for business purposes (ie PSN+).

Seriesly though, having a net browser giving you the access to just about anything on the internet is a huge advantage.

[QUOTE="KittenWishes"] I just bought P.B. Winterbottom at a 50% discount. How greedy of them, how dare they do weekly sales of Arcade games.KittenWishes

Lol you're right. You get free stuff, but you're paying...Logic does not make sense. And you can spend $200 on stuff, but as soon as that subscription runs out it's gone. And you can only choose from what they give you. No way in hell I'm signing up for something where they take my stuff away even though I paid them.

I see a lot of haters tried to discredit PS+ but they failed! However you slice it it ends up being like this... Xbox Live Gold has you pay JUST to ACCESS the online portion of the games you ALREADY BOUGHT. PS+ on it's first month alone has already given you over 50$ in value back with LBP, Wipeout HD, Destruction Derby, the Zombie game, KZ2 DLC, themes etc. In one month PS+ has given you more value then Live has since it's birth. On PSN normal members still get everything they've always had for free and that includes some DLC and themes that are free on PSN. Each month the value will grow and grow and people that odn't want PS+ will still have awesome PSN just the way it is.

This is win win win win. Theres is absolutly no negative here, PS+ is UNDOUBTBLY a huge win for PS3 fans and for online services on consoles. And you know how Sony rolls, they'll just keep adding stuff each month and making deals and promotions.

I don't hear a lot of MS consumers complaining about XBOX Live. Just saying.

[QUOTE="TehNubTuber"]And you know how Sony rolls, they'll just keep removing features each monthKittenWishes

Lol the one where you pay for features you really dont need....still im happy with PSN bog standard can play online and play with friends all i really really need and you have to pay for that on XBL logic is slightly flawed as the services provided by both are actually near polar opposites when i looked at them lol.

Lemming logic failure as usual kitten.

Wow, a lot of hate going around...

Do all PS3 owners really care so much about some new online service that they immediately thinks its Gods gift to mankind?

For XBL, you can't play downloaded games unless you're signed online in some way, even with the free online service you can still download arcade games and many other things.From what I've heard, PSN+ has you paying all the time to keep your stuff, but as soon as you stop paying the service, you lose everything.

From what I can tell, both online services are great, but forcing people to continue to pay to keep their downloaded things?

PSN+ is kind of like driving a bus rigged with a bomb that will detonate if you stop moving. If you stop paying for PSN+, you're screwed.

darthvader1993

I just checked out PSN+, there's nothing there that I want. Here's the thing there offering free game's and discounts on DLC, but I've already bought everything that I wanted on PSN.

I don't buy a lot of DLC maybe the odd map pack.

So I'm left with games I have no interest in, and DLC for games I don't have.

Why would I pay to rent games when I can buy them, games on PSN are not expensive anyway.

Free Minis thats great how much do they cost 2.99 and there crap games anyway

I'm going to wait off before I decide where I stand on this issue. Honestly, based on your previous posts, I'd like a few more opinions from other people before I decide On how I want to judge the PSN+ service.

The only thing PSN+ is getting is renting 5-15 dollar games. Besides that xbl has everything esle.

I doubt you going to get all the crazy sales that xbl has from time to time. XBLA is still going to have more titles.

PSN+ you get a big fat nothing. NONE OF THE FREE STUFF YOU GET YOU CAN KEEP. Anything free from XBL you keep forever, themes, avater add-ons etc.

Almost everything you said xbl has.
