Why so much PS Plus Hate?

I don't have PS Plus but I think that people complaining about not being able to keep $500-$800 or more worth of free stuff for only $50/year is ridiculous.

Some people are just expecting WAY too much.

 

People pay ~$200 or more a year for Gamefly I don't hear them bitch about not being able to keep the games unless they keep the subscription going.

You paid $50 for the year and if you paid last month you already got Sam and Max which goes for ~$30 as well as Wipeout which goes for ~$20. On top of that you get free avatars, dynamic themes and so much discounted shit, and you STILL have 13 months to go!!!

 

The service from what I have seen is an absolute steal.

Exactly....I've gotten Fieldrunners, Age of Zombies, Rally Cross, and I'm going to download Critter Crunch and there was another Mini I was interested if both of those games are still available. Not to mention, I also downloaded Mortal Kombat 2 for $2.50. So I've already gotten a decent amount out of the service thus far and it's only been a little over a month.

But with GameFly I'm getting much higher quality and new retail games. I mean lets say you pay $200 for Gamefly for the year. And lets say you rent 12 games that $60 a piece. That's $720, so you saved $520 compared to buying retail games.

And I'm sure people are renting more than 1 game a month. So the savings could be over $1000 a year compared to buying full priced retail games.

Not trying to be rude but I don't give a fuck about Gamefly in general. :/

For full retail games (and I mean for PS3), I'd rather just buy the games and have a physical copy of my own. This way when I want to pick the game back up and play it, I don't have to wait to get it back. I am way too spontaneous when it comes to my game selection so I'd rather not have to wait for my game to get delivered (much less for Gamefly to have an available copy to send me).

As for the rental service on PSN , I enjoy the fact that the rental doesn't expire until after my contract runs up. Whereas, I will have to send my games back to gamefly in order to get more games.

I swear, its almost like you lack basic logic.

A few games a year are worth $60 because of replay value and multiplayer. However, a lot games are only worth a single play through. I'd say most games aren't even worth that. Gamefly is a inexpensive way to try any game. Its especially great if you own multiple consoles.

I've rented games from Gamefly and bought them later. I also rented games and was happy I didn't waste money buying them. Its a great service and I think you're trying too hard to downplay it. Clearly it has benefits.
