Yes, let's throw logic out the window and let you determine that "many of the games were no good". Shit lets throw reading out the window and not look at the OP where he clearly posts that the average monthly metacritic ranking of the games given away on PS Plus was a 79.

I do not know if the study is reliable - maybe it is. Lets say that it is. Do you play averages Riderz?

Does the fact that you got Bioshock Infinite (again, much later when you could have sourced it elsewhere for WELL below RRP) one month mean you're going to enjoy playing a couple of games in their 60's a few months later? Of course not.

There is really no need for sarcasm at all. I listed a series of reasons why the figure in the OP is nothing short of laughable, surely you don't truly disagree with many (or even any) of them.

I did this just to for you. Six straight months of PS Plus games with their Metacritic rating.

*snip*

So, you say does the fact that we get a 90 meta + game mean we have to play a couple 60 meta games months later? Well, as I have shown you here, over a six month range PS Plus released FOUR games that were 69 Metacritic or under. Yes, FOUR out of 36 games.

Do I play averages? Sure, as I have proved to you here, the AVERAGE game released on PS Plus is a good game well worth your time. You seem to think that one 90+ meta game will outweigh the majority of 60 meta games, but as I have proven to you here PS Plus releases on a consistent bases very good games.

Please, if I have made a mistake in my calculations inform me of them and I will fix it immediately.

I appreciate the effort, but I do not understand it, I think you're arguing against a point I am not making.

At no point have I said PS+ is a bad deal, the opposite.

What I have said, repeatedly and with good reason, is that Sony is not 'giving anything away.' Further more, if we did accept they were giving anything away, it would be nothing like the figure presented in the OP because:

- A miniscule number of people own all three PS+ consoles
- Thus far PS4 (where the majority of PS+ users reside) has received the worst games (certainly compared to the PS3)
- These games arrive long after launch in most instances, when they could alternatively have been obtained for well below RRP
- Their value is inherently miniscule to those who have no interest in playing any given game
- Many people already own the games worth playing
- We rent them, we're not given them

I haven't actually seen you disagree with any of the above, so I suspect we actually agree on all that, and you've mistaken me for someone saying that PS+ can never be worth it. I have it, paid 3 years in advance...
