why cant all vgc members be this open minded and free of sarcasm


and to the post above me,  i would rather have discounts then a 10% money back promotion,  and with ps+ a large portion of content is discounted quite nicely (often over 10%), with the added benefit of not being tied to your ps+ subscription. 


Just to let you know, there are quite often discounts on the eshop as well. So you get the 10% back as well as discounts. I just purchased Darksiders II for $19.99(half price), but the 20 bucks was actually eshop money I recieved back from the 10% back program. So I just got a free game. There is usually a decent discount theme each month. During E3 it was 30% off all Zelda titles for the 3DS and Wii U.

im aware,  i have a wiiu in front of me,  next to the ps4 and xbox one,  the 360, wii and ps3 under those. 

i still believe in terms of value/savings,  ps+ offers the most of the three platforms,  followed by xbox,  then wiiu.

How? I just gave you the exact same reason that you said the PS+ was the better deal. You are paying 60 bucks a year to be able to play online and be privi to some discounts that are already offered without a monthly/yearly subscription on a different system that is also giving you 10% back on sales for now. I don't understand the logic. 


If i buy content on psn thats available on multiple systems,  i can download and use it on mulyiple systems,  if i buy a virtual console game on wiiu,  even if the same game is available for 3ds and both my 3ds and wiiu are tied to the same nintendo id,  i have to buy that game again in order to use it on both. 

 

if i buy xbox live or ps plus i am given good discounts on games,  often times very recent games,  and a monthly set of 'free'  games,  very beneficial on xbox but even more so on psn as i have a psp,  vita,  ps3 and ps4, the free games,  dlc and such i get per year across those four platforms make the price of a yearly subscription,  which in itself is often available on discount several times a year from the manufacturer themselves or online retailers,  very much worth it. 

 

youre free to disagree of course,  thats your opinion,  but i suspect yours is based off of inexperience with the other platforms or driven by personal preference.
