well look at it this way, you will be paying for live for atleast a year, thats another 50 bucks to your 180$, add another 50 bucks for every year you want live with it.


live actually cost $60

PS+ cost $50


Live= Makes you pay 60$ to play online for a system you bought

Plus= Optional pay for 50$ which gives you free games

Your only renting those game.

Oh I forgot... well most PS+ games are really short (2-10 hours long) so its you could probably beat most games in a couple days. although you can't replay them. its still better a better deal than XBLA

That is only $398 dollars in "game rentals" 15 months is one hell of rental length.

Add in a new game virtually every week two at the most and you are getting access to a full game for less than a dollar per game. That is right PS+ is cheaper than ITUNES and the games are better too.

By renting you will have the games forever as long as your a plus member, I stopped my sub for 6 months then re applied and was able to play my games that I brought off plus from my prev sub. So basically like you own them really.

So I was browsing an online store and by accident ended up looking at 360 hardware. And, I just happened to come across this very attractive 360 for ~$180. It's the 250GB model and you get the new Tomb Raider + Forza 4 & Skyrim. Sooo cheap! Really don't care about Forza and I already own Skyrim, and I sort of isn't that interested in Tomb Raider. But still, it's really, really cheap! And I could play Metal Gear Revengeance on it, and finally get Vanquish, perhaps get Tales of Vesperia and Resonance of Fate too!

Urgh, but I got a Wii U at launch and I've been a PSP owner for less than a month. My ever increasing Steam library hates me. I really don't need another console right now, but it's so damn tempting. A new 360 slim with a brand new game for 180 bucks. Is it supposed to be that cheap?

 

I need help. Please tell me why I shouldn't get this gorgeous piece of awsomeness. Or, tell me why I should get it. Actually just do the latter because I have a feeling that I'll end up with this babe no matter what you say and I will need someone to assure me that I did the right thing.

Where is this amazing deal?
