That 40$ can easily be recovered in a year with sales which offer an additional 10-20% off (sometimes a lot more) when you have PS Plus (like the most recent sale) and with 70+ 'free' games there's bound to be a few you might be interested in or might discover. There are also a bunch of F2P games available when you have PS Plus like Let it Die or Paragon. There's honestly a lot of value there and I think it's pretty ignorant to dismiss it so easily.

Not to derail this, but the Switch's online will offer sales/discounts too. And you get full access to games that used to be $5-$8 each, accessible at anytime. And it's a bit disingenuous to imply that F2P online games are a "deal" you get with PS+/Gold when you are literally paying $60 for the ability to play them. Also, they'd be on the systems whether the online was free or not. So those differences aren't really there the way you say it is.

I mean, I get you, but it's still a meaningful $40 difference. And not an ignorant comparison at all.

It's not a comparison...I'm saying that the additional cost of PS+/Gold is justified through added value.

We have no idea what the discounts will be with the Switch Online so again there's no comparison to be made here.

Also it's not because NES games are $5-$8 that they aren't overpriced lol

I didn't say F2P games were a deal but they do exist on PS+/Gold. What F2P games are coming on Switch?

So yes it is ignorant to dismiss PS+/Gold as if their higher price isn't justified. But the point is that at $20 I'm certain the Switch Online will also be of great value.
