Trouble? Do you mean you are too lazy to go to the shop to resell your games? Cause theres no legal troubles if thats what you meant.

About length yeah, Uncharted 3, GoW3 are about 10 hours long, but for example Assassins Creed, dozens of hours, GTA dozens, Skyrim hundreads, Fallout hundreads, JRPG's dozens, driving games dozens, mass effect dozens, etc.

Where I live, shops take any game back for 5$, be it AAA or an annual sports game that has no value once the year has come to pass.

How many out of those games have you seen offered by PS+? Them being the exception on the norm, most games take a couple of days to finish. Thus, completing a circle to the argument, they are then rendered virtually garbage.

So! I prefer not having to pay much for a 10-12 hour (have it your way) game which I will complete in 2-3 days and not touch again. PS+ is the ideal option for me - and many other it seems - as it offers me enough games to let me get by the month , while I have paid a single games worth 50$. I want need DmC again after I've finished it. Nor Hitman, Deus Ex, AC III, U3, etc etc.

I'm sure its good for you, but you are not getting anything "free". And, i still say you only buy a certain type of game for you to say games are that short, unless you play them 24/7. Not even Uncharted or GoW are games i finish in 2 to 3 days. I guess it depends on the kind of marathons one does.

I hear PS+ defenders talk about it like its incredible and everyone should jump on it, completely disregarding that there are different styles of gamers. PS+ does not fit my gaming style and its also not cheaper. I buy games on the cheap one year after they come out. If i dont think i want to keep them i get about half of tham investment back. Not only that, but i choose wich games i get. Something that doesnt happen with PS+ (Sony chooses for you).

Tel me, do you even finish all the PS+ games you get? I know the answer, but i want to make it obvious to you. Good that it fits your gaming style. It doesnt mean that its the best choice for every gamer though.

None can say that your choice is bad (or good, for that matter). It's your choice and it's as valid as anyone's. 

Well, I'm not getting anythin free. I've payed 50$ a year for it. That's some money, none can deny that. As for GoW, I've completed it in too afternoons and bashed it to no end in fora and suchlike.

Now, to answer your question, I have not finished each and every plus game. I don't have the time and not all games suit my taste. BUT, I haven't bought any other game either for a long time. I think the last one was Dark Souls.

Bottom line is, saying PS+ is quintessencial to all PS owners is not correct. There are people who want games absent to +, collectors, day-one buyers etc.
