| FlamingWeazel said: Renting games that are recent and the quality of infinite then getting free old games you can buy for 2 bucks.. PS plus craps all over live gold games. Also why would your sub run out? Once you sub you just keep resubbing, plus is worth it alone and it's mandatory for ps4. You can't trade your digital games so being able to keep them if for some bizarre reason you decide to not sub, means squat. Especially when the quality of games on plsu destroy ms weak offerings. |
That's all subjective.
The problem with the "renting" scheme on the Playstation 3 is that... Eventually it will come to an end, you will loose your entire library, it's essentially a form of DRM, nothing lasts forever.
And when that happens, Xbox users will still be able to pull their consoles out in several decades time and play some old classics, Playstation users will have nothing.
To some, that's worth sticking with Games with Gold and is the sole reason why I have kept up my subscription.
As for the quality of games, again. - That's also very subjective.
Everyone has differing opinions on what constitutes a quality game, millions flock to Call of Duty, but I personally don't associate that game/franchise with quality, that doesn't mean it's not a quality title however, millions find it enjoyable.
Alas I still consider Steam as the benchmark that Xbox Live and the Playstation Network needs to reach, it is so far ahead of either networks in many aspects.
Basically...
PSN
* Larger quantities of games. (Subjectively better, differs on a per-person basis.)
* Games are guarenteed to only be temporary.
Xbox Live:
* Less quantities of games. (Subjectively better games.)
* Yours forever.
Steam:
* Completely free.
* Free games (That are subjectively better than it's nearest competitors.)
* May/May not be yours forever, differs on a per-game basis.
