PSN+ does not interest me in the slightest. I'd much rather just get random sales than pay for a subscription to "free" games that I'll lose if I end my subscription.

To me games are not a service. They are products for me to purchase and I don't want o purchase anything temporary. It's more like an extremely limited rental service.

The "free" games on PSN+ are more like rentals. But you don't get to pick them out. Sony picks some games and allows you to download and play them. Who say's I wanted those games? Maybe I want different games. Subscribers are paying for access to these "free" games regardless of if they get any games that interest them.

If PSN+ was more like Netflix, meaning that you pay a monthly fee to access 1 or 2 games a month but have access to the entire catalog of games, I could at least see the value. But as the service is right now, I just don't want to spend money on access to games Sony picks for me and sales on stuff I may not want.

 

I guess its a choice... but yeah you can go ahead a pay xbox live so that you can "rent" the internet to play online which you already paid for through your internet provider. Oh yeah you can also pay to "Rent" netflix, which is aslo a rental service that you already subscribed to. You know whats the great thing about the PSN+??? its optional... its not a requirement in order to play online. Maybe PSN+ is a "rental" service as you claim but honestly I'm paying $50 to rent 16 games at a little over $3 per game for an entire year this is not including cloud storage and great discounts (be it that some of these game i may not want or have the need to play). Where as Netflix you pay a monthly fee of $8, thats about $96 a year and most of the movies on there i will never watch... but here's the punch line, you lose all those movies if you dont pay your monthly fee... you lose multiplayer if you dont pay your xbox live, so why is it ok for Netflix, xbox Live, Hulu, to have Rental services?
