Playstation owners know the deal. We know we're not going to keep PS+ indefinitely whether we drop service on our own free will or whether PS3 PSN is shut down. The difference is that we're only paying $50 one time a year, sometimes less, or sometimes the same amount for a free three months, to have hundreds of $50+ contentt free every single month and that content will be free for however long we're on the subscription.

As a counter to your you're going to lose all your PS+ games. Right now there are still PS2 games you can play online. Yes. You heard me right. Last year, that is 2012, as in the 21st century, I've actually played Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms online. That's over six years PS2 online is still active.

But PS2 online is just servers for PS2 games. It's not the actual PSN. PS4 PSN is still PSN. It might be a different end of it, like the PSP, PS3, and Vita version are similar but different. It's still PSN. If how long they keep PS2 servers up, I'm sure we atleast have more than a whole console generation to go through before we lose our PS+ titles on older titles. PS4 using the service, it means that Sony is going to keep the service available atleast for this next generation. Only $50 a year for all that content though? I couldn't care less if I lose it after all that time. Anything I have downloaded to my PS3 before the network is taken down will be able to be played atleast until the subscription end date. Meaning even after the servers are taken down I can finish up games I still haven't finished. Since I knew I was going to lose it all one day when I cancelled my subscription eventually, I have no issue with it.
