No. Tretton said you get 3 extra months for free if you subscribe for a year....basically, you're getting 15 months if you subscribe in the US.

I got it.  Beta access is very enticing, and I figure I'll about break even overall between the discounts on PSN titles and other freebies anyway.

The one feature I really want is cloud storage.  From what I understand it's in the works, and I'd pay for that alone!

I like that most of the features are content-centric so far.  You don't miss out on any basic features by not having it, but you do get extra content (whether that be games, betas, or whatever) and probably services (netflix, cloud storage?), which may be worth the price depending on your tastes.

Would you mind posting what you get with PSN in the first piost please?

So far, no, but I also don't fully know what you get with it.

yep going to get it ASAP.

I have LBP, Savage Moon and Wipeout and i don't play KZ2- so first month definitly no.

Second month I'll have to think about it but a lot will depend if they show third month before i buy it.

Nope, not with what's currently on offer. Add more features, and they might have themselves a customer in me.

I probably won't, I don't play online on the PS3 :P

Not sure currently.

Background patches seems like the main draw for me which isn't enough to justify it yet.

The free game (for me) is worthless as I have LBP already so that's out as a draw unless they give more choice.

The discounts, etc. I need to get to grips with to see if they would be likely to balance out the investment.

A definate maybe at the moment.

What I like about PS Plus is that, aside from auto downloads, it's entirely content based.  To the people that feel the games, etc. are worth the money, they'll get the service.  To everyone who decides there's not much they care about in the package, they'll pass, and they won't be any worse off for it.  No major features are being withheld from non-subscribers, thus no one gets left out. 

As of this point in time, that is.  If they make cross game voice chat PS Plus exclusive, all that goes out the window.

I appreciate your firm stance on this matter.
