Yeah, I look at it this way. I probably would have got this game anyway, at a store, paid for the disk. This way, since I already have PS+, I get a portion of the game for free but the really cool thing is, I'm definitely going to be paying less than what I would of have to, to get the full game IF the only way of getting the full game was getting the disk (or full digital version). So I guess it may equate to something like a 25% discount for the full version (or the likes).
In saying that, some retailers give pretty good discounts on full price games when they are first released so I will be carefully comparing the "upgrade" price to the store prices of the full game.
Also, I think this game is going to get a lot of DLC, probably a season pass because by its nature it's meant to be a community style racing game, so expect a lot of DLC for this one.
It could be Sony testing a twist on the business model of paid DLC with a framework of the game initially shipping but in this case, the framework is free, unlike Forza 5 which came with much more contnent but seen as a business model for encouraging purchase of DLC too. But MS appeased some of those concerns with some free content as well.
I doubt there will be any free DLC content with Driveclub, hence why we get the core free to begin with.
Personally, I like the Sony approach. You can still get the Platinum with the give away which shows the intent.
