I feel dirty getting it all for $49 a year. This time my sony rewards payed for it, and that is just off games/electronics perchases, pay it off every month. At this rate Sony will be buying me a PS4 and PS+ for life. |
Absolutely. I'm glad someone saved me the trouble of listing all the things PS+ brings to the table. Calling it a "limited rental service" just isn't accurate, as that is only one aspect.
Honestly, I can understand how it has less value for a person who buys a lot of games, especially if they can buy them at full price. However, for those of us who often wait on games that we're unsure of, PS+ is fantastic. I don't buy a lot of games in a year, it's just not in my budget. Only a few "must haves" are bought at full price, then I pick up more on holiday sales. PS+ gives me a steady supply of gaming without having to wait until the end of the year.
Regarding the OP, I've said it before, but this is pretty awesome for publishers. They can get copy of a title into the hands of gamers right before a sequel hits. It's just good marketing.
There are also timed demos of full game releases for a lot of titles. These aren't just limited demos, they're the whole game which you get to play for an hour, then you can buy it if you like.
