I complained about Xbox Live with the 360. I straight out said I wouldn't pay for the service and hence, not buy an Xbox. I also never bought an xbox because it's exclusives give me little incentive to buy the console. (MY OPINION, I'm not much into shooters though I'll play them sometimes)

As time went on, I began to notice the games PSN+ where renting out. I did the math and decided to spend $50 dollars to test out how many good games I could rent. After 1 year and 2 months later, I feel like got my months worth. I spent another $50 dollars last september, and if they continue to lease out content the way they are now, I'll be happy to give them more of my money.

I've never liked the idea of having to pay to play online, but I never said I wouldn't mind paying for a rental service. I give Netflix $8.00 a month and don't complain. Why? I'm getting content that feels equivilant to the money spent or more.

 

Now for PS4 PSN+ vs Xbox One Live. I don't own any of these systems nor the WiiU. Non of these sytems has attracted my attention. I'll wait another year or two to decide if its worth upgrading and on to which. I don't even know if PS4 PSN+ plus is worth it. I didn't like that they are making it a requirement to play online (retail games); its made me pause and think because I don't know if the game rental service is going to change or possibly degrade. I understand they want to invest on servers, but my wallet won't open until I see value that appeals to me.

To sum it all up:  PSN+ is value that appeals to me over the competition.
