I was wrong about PS+

When PS+ was announced, I totally thought it was a waste of cash, and a few months after the program started running, I felt I was correct on my initial assumption. $2 off some DLC nobody wants..woo! Some old games for free...woo! Access to beta that eventually becomes public...woo! The free PS+ trial Sony gave us after the Credit Card fiasco did nothing for me as well.

However, I, like many others, jumped on the Black Friday deal, but didn't enroll in it until a week later. In just less than two months, I definitely got my $30 worth and even more. Here's what did it for me:

• BioShock Infinite - A game that was released not too long ago and retails for $30 on Amazon. I enjoyed the previous BioShock games, and I'm glad I get to try the latest one without spending extra cash.
• Deus Ex HR Director's Cut - Was going to buy this (also $30), but when I saw it was going to be on sale for $13, I jumped at it. I've sold my original copy for around $20, so that pretty much paid my new DE copy and a little more.
• Tales of Xillia - For $10. Nuff' said
• Also got a bunch of PSN titles for half price.

As for the features, they're pretty neat. I can have my PS3 turn on by itself while I'm at work, so it could update my games & system and also upload game saves. Sony definitely stepped it up with the PS+ program, and hopefully they keep this momentum going. Just wanted to give my two cents and admit I was wrong.

 

 

 

 

Am I the only one who hated PS Plus at first but now likes it?

Do you consider relying on PS+ to cover your gaming needs? Cut down the number of games you buy and be content with what PS+ offers you?
