its not failing....does it suck next to psplus? yeah....

I'm not too sure about this.  I'll say that PS+ is a great service, but the only thing really that beats Xbox Live about it is the free games.  I really don't see anything else about it that beats it.  PSN has yet to offer cross game chat.  And lets face it, 4 of these 6 arguements aren't very good .  As I said, PS+ is a great service don't get me wrong, but I don't agree that it "sucks" comparted to XBL.

The games aren't free and you lose them if you unsubscribe. Paying for temporary access to games choosen for me isn't something I want to do.

thats great for u....but the discounts on games u do keep save u way more then the price of psplus. plus, maybe i (and when i say i i mean myself and a huge market) dont want to keep my games. maybe the subscription model is better for a lot of people that dont want to pay for the full game that will be useless the moment it is beaten and played with.

I'm glad you like it. But I keep what I buy or sell it if I don't want it any more. I rarely buy digital content and when I do, it's usualy on sale. If PS+ was a rental service I could see it's value, but it's not that. You basicly subscribe to a service that picks the games for you. If your lucky you find a game you actual want. Don't forget that you are paying for these games that Sony has so kindly choosen for you instead of giving you the freedom to access what you want.

A Netflix subscriber has access to the entire Netflix library. A blockbuster customer can choose any movie or game in the store. A PS+ subscriber pays to have Sony pick the games for them. It's like subscribing to the jelly of the month club. I'm happy the month I get strawberry but the month I get lemon I just throw it out.

Like I siad, I'm glad you found value in PS+. It's just not for me.
