Forums - Sony - Holy Crap PS Plus is AMAZING!

I have always disliked live really, it's just not my style to pay for something that you get everywhere else for free, and for what you pay you don't get nearly meaningful content. In that aspect PS+ is at least above satisfactory.

But what has that got to do with this thread? Nothing, but then it is a minor piece of opinion.

This post is just me boasting about how AMAZING PS Plus is.

Alright I literally got PS Plus for the first time 10 minutes ago (I've had a PS3 for almost 4 years). I NEVER realized how much content you could get for free. I paid 18$ for 3 months and have already gotten 80$ worth of content for FREE. I'm sorry but if you are an avid Playstation gamer and you don't have PS Plus then you should be ashamed of yourself (lol). Seriously though, does Xbox live offer anything else other than the ability to play online? I'm not trying to start a hate thread but I just simply can't understand why someone would choose Xbox Live over PSN. I'm so mad that I missed out on the Red Dead Redemption thing for September. Just got inFamous 2 so I guess I'll be fine =P.  Does anyone know if they offer these amazing games for free every month? Like for example I know in September it was Red Dead and I'm guessing this month it's inFamous. PS PLUS IS THE GREATEST.

I love you all. (yes homo)


Because XBL has proven to be superior over PSN.  Messages, inviting friends, party chats, avatars,etc is all that makes XBL better.  I'm not saying PSN is bad, but it's not as good as XBL either.  A good free service would be steam which does many things as good as XBL but better sometimes too.  Why I don't care about PSN+ is because the content that they have I simply do not want.  What I want I buy and I get it earlier when I buy it myself.  I want Journey, so I buy it, I'm not going to wait for PSN+ to offer it.

I guess it all depends on what you prefer. Myself for instance, I personally do not care about things such as avatars or themes. To me it's all about the games, discounts and the exclusive/early access to betas. But I do get where you are coming from. I myself would like if PS3 could have party chat but that's already been said to never be available. Hopefully PS4 has it. I wasn't trying to bash Xbox Live I'm just not very knowledgable on what sort of content it offers to members. 


If you don't have both then I don't believe you should be shouting that PSN+ is the best.  And yes PS4 should have party chats, or at least cross game chat.  PSN needs to fix its messaging system, inviting friends, and a more accessible online dashboard that you can access at all times.  I know some people prefer free online like the person above me but Sony, Microsft, and Nintendo does have to pay for the servers we use so I dont mind giving 5 dollars a month for an online service whether it's to PSN or XBL.  XBL is very successful so I wouldn't doubt if PSN+ is mandatory next gen but who knows, it's also a good marketing tactic keeping it free.  Really though if you haven't tried steam, try it.  It's free and knocks PSN out of the park.  

I should have added "in my opinion" to the thread haha =P. I have tried steam and attempted at playing some games, however my computer isn't the best and can barely run most of the games available.

And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

The bolded is just opion that the xbox guys have been trying to pass of as fact for years now. But considering the Vita has everything the xbox does, you really can't say live is better than PSN. Because it's not.  And if you would have had PSplus you could have got a discount on Journey day one.



Just to counter balance my last thread - not only just, as I think this since forever - to me it's a fantastic service.

For both ends - the consumer and Sony.

I don't pay for either but if I did, it'd be PS+ over Live in a nanosecond.

(Charging to play P2P games is just ****ing absurd.)

All those features are on PSN, unless "party chat" is reffering to "cross game chat", which is not on PSN. 



It is all relative man. Some of us like free games and discounts and some of us like avatars.



And some of us like to have permanent access to their games.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

PS Plus is pretty badass no doubt

Cant wait to see what all they add to Plus on Vita
