The game is as free as online is free on XBL.

There is a big difference. GOLD was never advertised or claimed as free.

The deal is a good one, but you should decide for yourself if you want to spend the money on the system or wait. You seem to know what games you want on the system. If it is worth it to you, get it.

This thread has been an amazing read haha, but in all seriousness:

PS+ > GOLD

PS+ games have never been advertised as free, they're just one of the perks or an 'Instant game collection' as SONY calls it for a subscription which has been clearly advertised as such.

For Example Lovefilm/ Netflix are free to access on the PS3 whereas on the Xbox you have to pay a fee to access these services your already paying for. The only thing GOLD doesn't restrict you from are the services that Microsoft want everyone to have access too straight away, which funnily enough are the ones you can actually spend more money on such as the app store. Bad times.

I'm not discussing PS+ vs Gold, and whichever is better is based on your opinion, preferences, and what you deem to be worth your money. If you want to discuss that, there are plenty of threads about it.

Do a simple search, PS+ games are advertised as "free."
