Is PS+ the best thing out of this generation?

I think it might be the best and most original innovation of this generation. We'll have to see how it takes hold next generation.

Innovation? GameTap and other all-you-can-eat for a flat rate game services of the past decade say:

"Hello there! We beat PS+ to the market by a huge margin, had a lot more games, and nobody said we were original or innovative! *sob*."

Don't get me (too) wrong, I am contemplating getting it for Vita, but it is not original *or* innovative if those words have any actual meaning anymore.

The inovative part is that you get to keep the games. After Infamous is taken off PS+ I get to keep playing it as if I owned the game. Granted it relies on me staying a member but since I plan to renew for the forseable future PS+ is nothing like renting. Instead Sony gives me two free games every month to play whenever, that is the service.
