every single game they gave was great so far... yes old but great non the less.. I had all of them almost including the arcade one... so what a hell are you talking about ???? a game has to be 6 month old to be good??? that's news to me....

The thing is, when a game is so old, it has next to no value, cause you can buy it for just a couple bucks. The games we get on PS+ are sometimes 1-2 months old! Though usually they are 6-10 months old, at which time they still cost quite a bit. I mean, PS+ gave you a still quite fresh AC III, while a couple months later Live gave you AC II (let's not remember, there were Brotherhood and Revelations between these two). MS has to step up its game, I'm really surprised it's so dificult for them, considering they aren't creating anything new, but just trying to copy something that the devs and publishers are already well accustomed to.

Well you can keep the games if you go back to silver, there is that.But also a great game, no matter how old, is great to someone who never played it before.

But to explain why PS Plus gives away newer games....its because they have ground to cover. Sony missed out on years of subscription fees and want to catch up fast. You loose your games if you opt out, which they certainly don't want. Vita also has crazy good PS Plus deals, but that is because they want as much Vita sales as they can get. The deals aren't so much that Sony is super generous, it is because they want to gain ground, since MS is reletively content with their Gold, until they recently found that it is in their best interest to be competitive in this regard.

It is the same end result to the gamer, which we have nothing to complain about, but let's just be clear on the "why" aspect of it.
