I think Sony is onto something with PSN Plus and I'll explain why.

This is something that Sony absolutely needs to advertise more, especially at Christmas.  PS+ is absolutely perfect for parents who want to keep their kids amused but don't want to spend huge amounts of dollars on new games every month.  Gamers know about PS+, but they really need to advertise it to parents, as well.  All the auto features would also make things easier for parents.

All they need to do actually is include a 1-month PS+ subscription code with all PS3 and/or Vita purchases.

Once parents or any consumer for that matter sees what it offers, it brings with it a good chance that person may pick up another 3-months or even a year to see if they like what it brings to the table over a longer period of time.

I mean as a selling point for a PS3/Vita, something that could tip the scales to a PS3/Vita purchase.  Not that I don't agree with you, that 1-month free code should be part of the advertisement.  Could you see that for a parent buying a system for a Christmas gift?  It's almost the same as buying a bunch of free games, they could keep the kid happy during winter break for a lot less cost.
