Exactly what I was hoping for. You even numbered them.
I just counted 97 videogames over 3 platforms for $50 over a range of genres averaging almost 80 on Metacritic. This list includes Game of the Year contenders (Bioshock, Tomb Raider, Batmans and more) to smaller pick up and play games (Don't Starve, Fez, Binding of Isaac, etc). This doesnt actually include the special deals and sales that are a part of PS Plus. This averages at almost .50 a game.
The service offers variety not just in genre but in style and substance. Not every gamer is obsessed with the big budget shooter and likewise not every gamer is obsessed with side scrolling SHMUPs.
The value comes from the variety, and to dismiss that because "indies" is a really petty thing to do when many games released on the service (Indie or not) are generally very well recieved.
