Not really.
People are still paying for Live, people are also going to get incensitive to actually buy new games with this 10% discount and finally they are one year old games. Compare it to the PS+/Games for Gold offering; it is basicaly the same thing.

But are they? These games are not online only? The idea of paying $30 a year (okay maybe not in the US but Europe at least) to always own a relitively update version of FIFA for when your friends come round might be an appealing option but that customer generally doesn't play online so they don't have gold. PS+ doesn't require subscription to anything else to get those games, Sony offer those games as part of PS+ and give the developers a certain amount of income from download/subscriptions..

...wait, do you have to have Gold to use this service?
