E3 rumor regarding PlayStation Plus

Not open for further replies.
I caved and got a pass because of this thread, haha.

But I am DL'ing Trine 2 and Awesomenauts right now, along with those Sega games. I will get my money's worth I think.
 
I went against my belief of not paying for online console gaming but the amount of free stuff you get makes it worth it. My backlog of games just got longer. Great.
 
Is there a list of everything plus has offered for free/discount since conception? Would love to see how much content someone would have got.
 
My Plus subscription doesn't run out until August, but I just purchased another year in preparation. I've loved the service so far, so no worries.
 
Anyone else like me going to wait and see what they offer rather than blindly going out and getting a 3 month pass based on a tweet?

I wanted Trine 2, I would hold off if the 3 free games this month don't interest you. I highly doubt Sony will announce a price hike during E3. There might be some kind of token gift for currrent PS+ members but I dount that also
 
I think Sony should give Ross McGrath a bonus after getting this many PS+ subscriptions from a single perfectly timed tweet. LOL.

Urgh. Like I said on the previous page, I think people are being a bit ridiculous if they are literally buying into the hype. I think Plus is a great service, and I'd recommend it to everyone -- but if people are just buying it because of these Tweets, they are setting themselves up for disappointment.

Remember, you only have yourselves to blame.
 
well, on my 3 month test sub that ends in july; i've already saved about $35, not counting stuff that was free.

so its worth the risk imo, got a one year sub today.

Not counting the freebies, I've paid for my subscriptions since Plus started just off game discounts. I've got my gripes with Sony but they've done right by Plus so far. It's good stuff.
 
Trust me it's well worth it

I swear to god if I had extra money, I would cover like 10+ of you and buy you PSN+ 3 month plans just to let you see what the fuss is all about

I bought it Day 1, the first year were the most god awful experience I had with a service, but near the end, they kicked into overdrive, and I haven't looked back

If you are sitting there pondering @$18 for 3 months, that is roughly $6/month
XBL is $3-5/month
You have the added benefit of joining today and getting roughly $35+ worth of stuff to play through

Then some games from the backlog are still active (I think) that you can DL (Sega Games/DLC)

I know with PS+, I've saved at least $500 in buying/playing stuff, no joke

It isn't a huge risk
If you are VITA only, yeah I say probably wait & see
If you are both PS3 & VITA, it's not a bad deal
You don't have to get the $50/year package

Also you are cheating the system a little due to getting May content, then have 90 days for June, July, August (maybe)

I've paid $100 for 2 year sub, then got +6 months bonus (PSN+ Birthday package +3 months on 1 year package)
The PSNpocalypse added close to 2 months and 14 days
Friends gave me their 1 month code when they bought PS3's
 
my understanding has always been that the "free" games arent really free and more like a rental . because as soon as your 3 months ends and you dont renew. you cant play any of those games you got for free any longer.

is this correct ?

Yes assuming you don't resub that would be correct.

Games you purchase with a discount are yours to keep though.
 
Well with the speculation going on along with the Gaf threads I caved and bought a 3 month PSN Plus sub today now let's see what they announce Monday :)

Yeah, I'd be the first to recommend this service...i have downloaded so much stuff that sometimes i skip out on some games even though i have the disc space...there is just so much stuff to keep up wth sometimes imo.

But if yall are just getting that 3 month stuff because of the tweet....and were not interested in the first place? Then you will most likely not be satisfied no matter what the announcement is.... i have a feeling there will be some people here bitching just to bitch come Monday.

Worst case scenario, you get a bucket full of free games to 'rent' for 90 days for 18 bucks, with a chance at something amazeballs being announced on Monday and being a part of it. If you have 18 bucks do it for what's been offered, not for a promise of the future, because what's been offered is an insane value for your money.

This the 3rd thread on this topic, people started up about that awhile ago

No need to wait, it's already came, gone, came again, gone, seeping up again
GAF cycle!
 
Maybe I'll get a three month subscription.

My issue is if they have a sale for the normies, but they have it free for Plus, I won't be able to go for that sale. I've heard people have had issues with this.

If you buy one of the big direct download games (Infamous 2, MK, etc) with your discount the 3 month basically pays for itself.

Also, awesomenauts is free this month, and a hell of a lot of fun.
 
Would sign up immediately, but SCEE really aren't making things appealing by offering Awesomenauts, Max Payne 1 (PS2?!) and a collection of shovelware this month. Still, looking forward to whatever they end up announcing.
 
I'm playing the hell out of these free games. I don't know why I never took advantage of the ps+ i had before.
 
I've been a plus subscriber for about two months, I bought a full year. As both a PS3 and Vita owner this is really exciting news :3
 
Sony tricked everyone into buying PS+ so they can boast the number of active subscriptions at E3:

"As of last night, PS+ has 3 billion subscribers!" :P

I hope it's something good.
