I got it / get it for games I do not have. Triple a games several years old? I either have them - or don't want them. Hey look at this month - I have all of those games. If I had GWG - this month would be a 100% wash.

Need For Speed: Rivals is almost three years old. If you wanted it - why didn't you get it? Do you really want an almost three year game simply because it is triple A?

NFS rivals was part of the sale just after new years too, think it was 8.99 for the standard version of it, just saying if you wanted cheap old AAA titles it's possible to net them from sales for the same price as a month of PSN+

As for the "free games are a bonus, most people pay for online" I pretty much only have my psn sub for the free games, twice since I've bought the system have I gone online to play, where I get value from these services is the free handful of games each month. I'm sure there are people who get more from each thing the services offer (there is also the weekly deals with gold or psn+ discounts on the stores which allow you to net games for less to offset the price of the service as well) I'm just saying blanket statements of "people don't pay for a service for X portion of it" aren't true, if they were then the companies wouldn't bother with that portion of the service at all.

You have to admit, though-- the numbers jumped drastically when Sony charged for online compared to when they just charged for free games.
