I subscribe and will continue to do so. based on the amount of fun I've had with the free/cheap games and DLC I feel I am getting my monies worth thus far. I don't use the auto-download service - when I tried it I kept getting demos of games I already owned being downloaded which while not a major problem was a bit of a pain :P

I was against the idea of it until Sam and Max came up for free...Since then I've gotten so many free games that the cost is easily offset. I'd definitely recommend it.

It's worth subscribing to if you enjoy playing PSN games and buy them a lot.

It's great if you play a LOT of games, otherwise not so much. I'm hoping that Sony introduce movies and other things to the service soon.

I was skeptical at first but now i absolutely love it, i enjoy waiting to see what i'll get from month to month, yesterday I had Sonic, Guilty Gear, a nice infamous 2 dynamic theme, some avatars, a couple of mini games, and astroblaster, a fun shooter. When I think I used to pay the same for xbox live and get nothing like this, its 100% worth it for me..

Ive now got a fantastic collection of games on my harddrive, minis, ps1s, arcade and a couple of fantastic neogeo games + all the avatars, themes, exclusive demos...... well worth it IMHO.

Yes, it's been up and down. But overall definitely worth it IMO. Especially if you are someone that does NOT normally buy PSN games, but if the idea of getting about 20 PSN games and 12 PSOne games a year for $50 sounds good to you, then go for it. If you already buy alot of PSN games, then there might be duplication with the PSN+, and thus making it not as beneficial.

I would recommend it. Thanks to PSN+ I've found new games to play that I would have never tried before. The service pretty much pays for itself.

depends if the game each month is one you would've bought if you didnt have it. for me, more often than not the answer to that is no so its not worth it to me.

I have heard that all the games you can DL from PSN and others that are free you will not get to keep if you do not re subscribe to the service is that true? At that point basically you are just renting all these games for 50$ a year instead of owning is it still that good of trade off?

It's like a rental service with some perks but you don't get to choose what to rent.

That's true, it's basically a rental service with discounts (you keep anything you buy on discount, like I recently got Fat Princess for half price). Honestly, PS+ is only a good idea if you fall under these categories. 1) You don't mind renting games under a subscription, then losing access to them after you stop subscribing. 2) You buy a lot of PSN games. If you buy PSN games via the discounts PS+ offers, you will save far more money than the subscription fee costs.

Yah I took the plunge 3 extra months plus some good prices on some games i have been wanting, and then right after i took the plunge i see the Socom beta comes early for subscirbers so that was a plus so i can have a good amount of time to decide on the game

They are trying to see if you are OK with paying subscriptions, so if you want to be eventually pay for online play, by all means, support Plus.

Prove t hat, i dont think they would offer up all this to eventually see if you would pay for online play too. Sony could easily just say were gonna charge for online really at anytime and people would pay for it so i doubt thats really an issue

That would be stupid. If they were doing that then Plus would add features, not goods.

It depends how much on there interests you. From my point of view PSN+ is a complete waste of money, so I wouldn't ever subscribe. But, like I said, depends how much stuff on the store takes your interest.

It's worth it for the free games and discounts on stuff.

Free games have been a huge plus, free betas are also very nice. 3-8 you get the MK9 demo and 3-22 you get the SOCOM4 beta. That is a couple things in the near future that interest me, not sure if that helps you at all.
