I strongly disagree. Their network has always been good to me. Just the shop was a bit slow, but i never got any issues compared to the 360. That is the thing though, i am not interested enough to pay for online. I hardly use it. Theres people who do and aren't willing to pay, wich is completely understandable, wich is something that has always been free until Microsoft got in the picture and still is on the PC.

Its alot smarter to have a limited number of hours free to lure in new players than to shut them off completely. I am certainly not going to feel compelled to sub to PS+ because i dont even get a taste of an online mode that may make it feel worthwhile. At the same time, those that hardly play online don't turn away from upgrading because they are beeing coerced into buying a monthly fee on top of the console.

And yes, 50€ is a considerable investment, especially for something you hardly use. On the other end of the spectrum, players that play hundread of hourse should have to pay more. There is really no sense in the average gamer paying so the hardcore gamer can play more. Its only fair.

This all or nothing service is very limiting.

PS+ is definitely worth it whether you play online or not. It basically pays itself back with all of those free games within 2 months.

I disagree.

Its not cause they give acess to some random games temporarely (mostly indies) that i'm suddenly going to want to play them. I know it sounds crazy, but i buy the games i want to play. So, at best they offer lots of stuff i'm not very interested in.

Its funny how quickly people jump in agreement when the word "free" is dropped. They arent free, they are rentals. When you stop paying you stop having acess to them.
