I highly doubt XBL offers a substantial amount of free games. PS Plus pushes out free games constantly. Here are the titles I received from just one year of PS Plus:

I don't know the list of free games for Xbox, nor am I arguing which is better.  Just pointing out that the games are only there as long as you keep your membership active and that there are free games on Xbox LIVE as well.


The fact you lose access to them is a downer, especially since they toss so many at you you'd never have time to play them. I'm guessing if I was to not go online after my PS Plus membership expired I could play them as long as I wanted, as if that was a good trade off. Who knows, maybe they have some code that triggers based on the date, but there could be a workaround simply by adjusting date and time. At least those titles will always be available to you if you decide to get membership again. I find it pretty cool for any PS3 owner to see a really nice game drop and purchase 3 months of Plus for $15. So for instance when Far Cry 2 was given away, they could have it for $15 and have 3 months to play it till they loose interest. It's nice when they are giving free PSN games that would cost $15 to buy anyway. Might as well get Plus and enjoy it for 3 months, get some free themes and avatars during that time too.

My brother has a 360, and I have several friends with 360s, but I haven't heard of seen anything regarding free games.

I am actually not sure how they do it. Do they require you be connected to PSN before  you can even play the games?

I have downloaded a few free games off of LIVE, but I rarely search the marketplace. I prefer to have a physical copy of the games I purchase.
