It is certainly outrageous, I used to have PS plus because it was definitely worth it. But now that they are tacking on multiplayer to PS plus I am not getting it again until a must have game has multiplayer just out of principle.


So you're giving up on all the games you get from plus until you will feel that you simply can't say no and pay for the multyplayer?

When do you plan to start this boycott? now or at least until you have a ps4?

I really don't  see the point. You already thought the service was worth it.


I am honestly really poor, so I have not had PS plus for 2 months despite knowing I would have enjoyed BF3, Hitman, LBPK, Deus ex, Xcom. As such I do not plan on getting next gen for quite awhile either.

 

But really this change has convinced me to look into getting a Wii U more.


I can respect that you can't afford it, but I actually think something like PS+ is ideal for the budget gamer.  For the price of (less than) a game a year, you get lots of free games (like 1 PSN game a month and they give good games out), 1hr demos, special betas, etc etc.  You get a bunch of gameplay/demos before you plunk down the cash so if you're short on money it actually seems like a good way to get in playtime without having to shell out a lot.  I'm no shill or anything, I don't even have the service anymore because I don't play games as much what with school and all, but I think that when the newer tech comes, if you are into the games that are on the PS3, you're likely going to be disappointed with the Wii U.  Sure, Nintendo first party games are fantastic, but the third party support just isn't there so if you are going to boycott a system because of $5o just make sure it has the games you want and don't do it for the principal of it or to make a statement.  Otherwise, you'll be the one missing out...
