I love how you only have two options....There needs to be a 3rd saying no.  

And no it isn't.  Steam is SOOOOOOOO much better than PSN it's not even close.  

XBL hs better functions and is much easier to navigate as well as more social.  

PSN is still third.  The games that I want I get so I don't need to pay extra for games I don't care about.

Fight Club quote-"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need."
That is how I pretty much feel about PS+


Steam is on PC and he been out wayyyyyyy before PSN Plus was ever thought of. I've been on Steam since before I got the original Xbox. Keep trying to beat down a promising product in the console realm when in the console realm it offers the most on consoles and keeps giving. To do what Microsoft with social gaming can be done easily for free, they just feel like making you pay for it.

PSN isn't even the best console online *sigh* While PS+ is nice I as well as many other people see no use for it.

And go ahead and complain about the price for XBL, still doesn't change a thing about the quality differences.  

And steam is still way better than PSN so don't start hyping up PS+ like it's the best free service either.  I will even go so far as to saying Steam is just as good as XBL if not better. 


Quick note to you mister: I'm not talking aboout PSN, this is about PS+, the premium version of PSN if you haven't heard of it.

You are, S.T.A.G.E. isn't.  And I still say Steam has a better deal.  Just wait until the christmas sale this year on steam.  Guarantee I can probably get all three Assassin's Creed 3,  Dishonored, and Farcry 3 for under 30$ on steam.  All new games and I bet you will find all three for under 30$.  Not even talking about all the games that I'll probably get between 1-10$ that are worth way more than that

I love Steam too and it is great value for your money. I think PS+ is better because it gives you free games, cloud storage and automatic updates. If Steam gets an equal service like Steam+ where you get free games and huge discounts, I'd love that too. But for now, PS+ gets mah vote.

 

btw: I'm not STAGE

 

 

 

LOL

That is your opinion and I will respect that but you are still paying subscriptions for those games so I don't agree that you are right.  Seeing as how 98% of the games would give me on PS+ I honestly don't care about because A. I already own it, or B.  I Don't own it because I don't care about it.

PS+ in my opinion is a random rental service.

Let me put it this way.  PS+ is what around $5 a month correct?  That comes out to $60 a year.  So they give you games as long as you are paying for that subscription.  Most games are really not worth all that much in the first place.  When you stop paying all those games are gone.  Or you can get a service like gamefly and rent full priced games for $7 a month.  You get to choose what games you rent instead of being random.  Or you can go to redbox and rent games for like $2 a night. All of these seems like a better deal to me as I get to choose what I get.


But PS+ is just too awesome to pass up on! Once you + you never go back, I subbed for 3 4 years or something just because how awesome the service is. Oh and it was 25% off in Europe!


And that is your opinion.  Mine is that it's something I don't need and don't care for.

No. It's merely a step Sony were prepared to take to try and improve market share. They aren't doing this out of the kindness of their hearts... even if some here think they are. They are a business.


No one was saying PS+ was a charity system. Stop talking about Sony's perspective in this, can't you for once talk about your own, your gamer's perspective? For gamers this is the most value out of every other online service they get. Once you subscribe a whole new world opens with free games and bunch of other things.

And you need to stop stating your opinions like it's facts

Where did I state my opinions like they're facts? Please respect my opinion as I have done yours, no need to force your opinion to me.

So because sony aren't cheritable and are a business, that's part of the reason why it's not the best thing out this generation?

I didn't say that. You just did. 

then why did you say all of what you said after No. ? Just posting irrelavent information not related to the topic are we?

Yes it is amazing.

At this rate, I'll remain subscribed forever.

If they offer a "Premium" PS Plus at higher price, I'd pay even more.

No, it's because it isn't the best thing out of this generation.  I would love to see the numbers and how many people are actually using PS+  I'd say the majority probably doesn't care about it

You didn't ask that. You asked if it was the best Thing thus gen, not the best thing for gamers this gen.  Be more clear in future.

If it the second then.... Still no.

Neither are you Sony, I was clear enough. EIther way, you don't back up your "no" with arguments, so why are you here? Why isn't it the best from a gamers perspective and business perspective?

What are you basing that assumpton off of? You say the majority probably don't care about it.. Well I can see almost half of my PSN list has PS plus.. and that's almost 30 people.. on my friends list alone.. including myself.. can I reach an assumption saying, MOST PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IT?? If people didn't care about it, and if PS plus didn't have many subscribers.. I doubt sony would continue to push it as hard as they are..
