I see a lot of people hating on the Xbox One and saying you won't be able to play your games anymore if their servers go down. But the same can be said about PSplus. If the service ends you will lose all your games. Now your answer will be " yes, but Sony would do something about it, they would give you your games at that moment". But the same can be said about Microsoft, they can unlock your games if the service expires.

Conclusion: The argument about not being able to play your games anymore is flawed

In your PS3/PSVITA/PS4 is registered the time in which your subscription ends THERE IS NOT NEED FOR AUTHENTIFICATION; so If my subscription ends by 2015; and Sony servers go down; I can still play my games until 2015.   After that if the servers are still down; and I cant renew my subscription, then yeah I wont be able to play those FREE games.   BUT I would still be able to play my disk based games till the end of days ;).

Conclusion: PS gives you the choice to get digital stuff without the need to authenticate; which enables you to continue playing if the servers go down.  With XBO you are forced into digital content requiring to authenticate in order to play games; so If the servers go down you are screwed.

Have a nice day ;)
