PS+ is far more worth it than paying for MS and here is why

PS+ gives you:

  • Tons of games on PS3
  • Tons of games for Vita
  • Cloud storage for both ( each got 1 GB to store files anywhere )
  • Online Gameplay ( multiplayer games ) on PS4
  • Discounts on all 3 systems
  • Free games on all 3 systems

All for $49.99 which you gives you 15 months

MS costs $59.99 for 12 months

I don't think I'll be getting PS+. I don't like the idea of digitally renting games and League of Legends is the only thing I play online on any platform so getting locked out of MP is a matter of principle. They're going to have to stuff some goodies into Plus to get me to cave.

Unless games started using servers instead of peer 2 peer, that's the only way I could feel justified in paying online.

lets see in a LONGTERM aspect it is, Sony is gonna make an awesome profit out of it, so in the end it doesnt matter that the console cost 400 bucks, your gonna end up paying much more than that, now do you understand it better?

It sucks, and Sony should change it. The hardcore Cows trying to damage control are slightly amusing, although they are right that the services/perks offered by PS+ far outclass any subscriber advantages you'll get from Microsoft. As a PC gamer I don't see why you should have to pay to play your games online on your desired platform.

PS4: $400

PS+: $50 (?)

Controllers: $60 (probably)

Games: $60 (also likely)

Total (one extra controller, 3 games, PS+): ~$700

 

X1: $500

XBL: $60

Controllers: $60

Games: $60

Total (one extra controller, 3 games, XBL): ~$800

 

It's an expensive hobby, deal with it.

but if you buy a PS4 and then have to get PS+, do you think there will be a large enough library for them to give you free games every month?

Hmmm, i guess i'm not bothered by it because i already have plus, and a library full of free games. when i heard the announcement i was like, "oh" 5$ a month aint too bad either, i seem to remember ms was charging that on xboxlive gold before they went up in price.

 

lostrib has a very valid point. though for me Driveclub makes up for it.

With their indy game policy? Yes... they might not ALL be huge games at first, but in a few months time, and the possibilities of Gaikai, they could even offer some bigger PS3 games for free through PS+.

Vita done it extreemly well and i have only bought 2 games on that system while the rest were off PS+.. Sony already announced FOUR games PS4 memebers will get when buying a PS4 including DriveClub so to answer your question.. YES!

I have been playing for PSN for the past year, the diffrence between it and Xbox live is they actually give you something for your money. I had downloaded probably $400 dollars worth of free games and the cloud saves are also awesome. For $5 a month i get a cheaper system with superior hardware? Ill take it!

I didn't care about paying on the 360, I'm not going to care about paying less than I used to for more on the PS4/PS3/Vita. With the amount of games I buy the discouts will save me money anyway so I would buy it even if i didn't need it.

If you look at my PC you will find that I don't necessarily cheap out on my hobby. It's just that I will not pay an ongoing subscription fee for an inferior experience. If I pay for something it's because there's no other better experience. I've been paying for XBL and it has been a complete waste of money. I remember when all the cows were bashing lems for paying for online ;)

Really? Is this some kind of joke account that everyone but me knows about it? You flip flop between PC and consoles so much it's crazy. Am I really the only one who has seen this fool change his sig multiple times to being pro console/controller and whatnot?

It is comical it's just not the problem it's being made out to be. The panic attacks some people are having is hysterical and incredibly overreactionary.

Yeah sound about equal to me, if anything I would give Live the slight edge now as MS have traditionally handled the network and interface stuff better. I might actually pay for Gold for the next few months depending on what games come up. It's a pretty small part of the whole picture though, PS4 has so many advantages over the One that's there's really no contest. I'm switching from MS to Sony as they are offering the better package, same reason I switched from Sony to MS last gen.

Are you kidding? Cows used free online as one of their main arguments in every single ps3 vs xbox360 argument. The fact that they are now justifying it is very comical.

The funny thing is I agreed with everything the cows were saying about XBL - even though I was paying for it - but it was all true and I still think it's cancer to gaming. But it's funny to see how quick their opinions change, ay
