MS started adding free games to Gold members, starting this month. The first one being Fable III. These games are yours to keep. If you lose Gold, it's still in your library.

They also stated that they were going to only do this until the Xbox One launched.  So 10 free games for the 360 as long as you're on Gold.  PS+ has done this for years and once the PS4 launches we'll continue getting the games for free. 

Five games per month for a year is 60 games of varying quality.  That's less than $1 a game since PS is only $50.  Even better if you purchase it when they're doing the three month bonus.  Even when it does lapse.  PS+ users knew the deal from the start.  You only get to use these while you're on PS+.  Since I'm getting as many games as I get for dirt cheap, doesn't bother me since I started the service knowing what would happen when I stopped paying.  I'm paying to rent these games and continuously getting more for that one fee.

If the PS3 PSN servers eventually are going to be shut down, there's illegal means to continue playing the games through PS+ long after they've expired, if I feel like getting CFW on my PS3.
