whats up with that four hours option? useless.

honestly that 7 days deal isnt bad, you can finish pretty much any game in that time (if your free) and just pay 8 bucks for it.

I assume that 4h deal is supposed to be for party nights where you just wanna have quick game with your friends. It's quite alright.


should be for 24 hours, not just 4 hours.

24h is too long, you could play through most games with this and it would be the most popular option.

Maybe the 4h option should be $3-4 instead of 5.

So, you pay for one game at a time...? I thought you paid one subscription and you could access whatever game you want...

Problem with the subcription model is third party support. If they do that no publisher would want to put up their games on the service anytime soon. Making you pay for content directly basically means that they can have access to every game out there.


Then how does the "free" games for PSN Plus work...?

I think it's more or less decent, could maybe be a bit cheaper and their should be something like $0,99 for an hour demo option or something like that.

7 days seems pretty fair I think and everything above that, well renting things for a long time is not supposed to be cheaper than just buying them.

1). Cut the 4 hour option, nobody wants a game for 4 hours.
2). Lower prices
3). 2 weeks option
4). Unlimited time option
My suggestions for improvement

I like the disclaimer stating that the games may differ or lack content found in the full retail game, lol. I'm gonna go ahead and call this service an incoming failure!

30 days are OK. 90 days is better you buy retail version, or 2nd hand, and then sell it after you finish the game. And 4 hours is just ridiculous.

Actually, that'd be a GREAT way to police your kids gaming habits lol.


and a very expensive one.

not bad except for the 4 hr one i would get rid of that all together or make it 24hrs

i can remember the days of going to blockbuster and for 3.49 i had about a week right before they went under it was about 8 bucks for a week but they had a grace period thing which let you go past a week with no penalties

Nothing wrong with the 7/30/90 day prices. If you are renting, I don't even see anyone needing more than the 7day option being that if you put your mind to it you can pretty much finish any game in 7 days.

The 4hr pricing is daylight robbery though, then again I am sure they don't expect anyone to use that option.


If they put $60 games on the service day one of release, I wouldn't mind paying $15 for 30 days.

But a game I can get on Amazon for around $10? Fuck that.

Can't decide on PS NO or PS NOpe

90 days is more expensive then buying FFXIII-2 it in the psn store..

Renting something for 90 days is very often not actually cheaper than just buying it...
