Just got PlayStation Plus

I just got this for 1 year because just alittle bit over 4 dollars a month is a pretty great deal, but I have a few questions about it tho.

1. How often does the store update? I mainly got it for the 'free' games, to play demos of games and to buy some games at a discount when I feel like it.

2. Do I need to be signed in to play the free games I downloaded?

Thanks for the help in advance!

The store to my knowledge updates once a week. I don't think you need to be signed in, you have them stored locally afterall, plus i got Golden Axe and that aint multiplayer so i recon you don't need to be signed in.

I also bought a year worth mostly because it gives 3 months free and i get cloud storage and the free stuff is a bonus, i just hope next gen they have something a little more substantial to entice PS+ buyers. Cloud Storage is a good start but i'd like atleast another feature on the same level as that next time around.

PS+ has a bunch of free swag, and a lot of stuff is much cheaper. Rainbow Six Vegas and Vegas 2 are half as much (but sadly I bought the game literally right before the PSN+ deal so I got a bit screwed). I plan on checking it out myself later on since I loved the trials and deals during the free month.

If its content you dont want theres no point. Its like buying one of those coupon books from a school kid for $10 saying there is $500 worth of free stuff. I have a PS3 and tried the PS+ when it was free. It was alright but I dont see the need for it. I'll just buy what I want instead of paying money for someone to tell me what I can get for free.

[QUOTE="jshaas"] Pretty much all of this. The Store updates every Tuesday... usually in the evenings (EST). IGN did a one year review of PS+ and came up with about $900 worth of content that we get for $50 per year. Yet, there is still people saying it's a rip-off. Maybe they aren't good at math:Pjshaas

It comes down to how much you download... if you download alot then it is worth it as you'll end up saving alot of money in the long run. If the answer is no you don't download alot, then you are going to be kinda dissapointed.

And the "free" games they give you are kinda hit and miss. Some are fun and some are pretty bad, also most of the "free" games don't really cost much to buy in the first place.

So it's just how much you download...

lol he's a troll...he doesn't even have a PS3. Check his sig next time...

You get themes, avatars, and discounts every week, actual free games come every two weeks. Once it's downloaded, you can be offline and still play them. After it's over, all free games you got are gone, themes, avatars, and discounted games stay.

This 100% ^^^

If you find value in it then PS+ is good, but most of the free stuff you are given is older games, and older demos. I've been watching PS+ every time it updates, and honestly have only found a couple of things worth getting. So for me $50 is too high of a price to pay.
