What I expected. Most interesting part for me
"will receive for free a special edition with slightly reduced functions of DriveClub."
So, Ill prob end up buying the retail version of the game.

So... you need a subscription to play games that require a subscription? That is some pretty high bullshit, if so.

Edit: Or... the opposite?!

i plan on keeping ps+ anyways, it doesnt matter. it pays for itself. if $5 a month was too much, i would not recommend a $400+ system then, maybe a ps2 or ps3.

So it sounds like a pretty lenient requirement. I still wish they didn't do it but non Plus members get free to play online games, asynchronous multiplayer, media apps,

early access to betas? i mean on come. betas are played online, and you cant play them online if you dont have a PS+. so basically the "early access" is just the actual release of the beta

That's the idea.

sucks that PS+ is required for online now...I think Sony is requiring this to offset some costs of the PS4. though I do have PS+ for another year and change so if I get my PS4 at/near launch i'll be prepared

was definitely the bittersweet moment of E3

Would have bought PS+ anyway, amazing value for money.

Not that it doesn't suck that we now have to pay, but at least they're doing it the right way.

Nah, not needed for F2Ps + Subcrip mmos, according to ethomaz thread
