And some of us like to have permanent access to their games.


Don't be a party pooper.

By the time your PS Plus subscription ends, you would have beaten those games already. Anyway if you really like your PS+ game collection, keep paying the $50 a year. Simple as that. If you don't have anything to contribute to this thread, get out.


How did I not contribute? It's fact that you lose access to those free games when you stop paying, there are people who don't like that. I have a PS3 and  do not have a PS+ subscription, if it such an awesome service and a no brainer, why do I not subscribe? I tell you why. Because in my personal cost benefit analysis it's not worth binding myself to a service like this for a bunch of old bargain bin games. And if you want me to get out, say please.

How can you say old bargain bin games when they are offering titles such as inFamous 2, Red Dead Redemption, Resident Evil 5, Payday The Heist and Little Big Planet 2? Last time I checked those were all critically praised games (maybe not RE5) which have each sold millions of copies.


Bargain bin does not mean bad game. It means I can get all those games for 10 bucks or less and keep them forever.

See I just don't understand the logic behind that. Why not pay for PS Plus and get all those games + more games and get discount on other games + DLC. To me it just makes much more sense financially.

The logic is that I pay a little bit more but own the game and not merely rent it. I also get a physical copy and am thus independent from the well being of the digital content provider. The PS+ discounts do nothing for me since I don't buy retail games digitally on consoles and if I know that a game will be DLC heavy I wait for the GOTY version/steam sale anyway.

But the way I see it is that if you are going to continue subscribing then you don't simply rent the game you own it. Also I don't really enjoy having discs because of the hassle of keeping them in the case switching games out on the PS3 or sometimes the disc gets jammed inside the PS3. If for instance you accidently drop your PS3 console the disc won't come out but the PS3 itself still works. Oh well i'm not gonna try to change your opinion since thats simply almost impossible to do to any person. Do whatever makes you happy.

Subscripting ad infinitum to a service to keep your games, sounds reasonable.

Well I could say the same thing about Xbox Live about continually subscribing to play online but as Jaywood said, let's just drop it since neither one of us is going to change the other persons opinion.
