Forums - Gaming - This is why Playstation Plus is better then xboxlive!

well,most of those games are old when they reach ps plus. Alot of those are small PSN games. Most of the retail games,I had already played when they orginally came out. I think I only tried 3 of those games when I had PS plus. lol

Yeah, for the same price you get nothing extra on Live....

Actually, you get two games for free on Xbox LIVE.  Yours to keep.

Starting in June, Xbox LIVE Gold members get two Xbox 360 Games free each month.  Even if you only own an Xbox One, you can still queue the game to download.  Then, if you buy, borrow, or sign-in to a friends Xbox 360 you can play those games on that system as well.

Sort of. You don't lose those games if your subscription ends though. They collect.

But you know this, and don't care.

Clarification.  When your subscription ends on PS+, you don't retain access to those games.  i.e. You can't play them.  But yes, you are correct, when you resume the your subscription, all the games you previously aquired are still there.

With Xbox LIVE, you get two full free Xbox LIVE games per month.  Yours to keep.  Yours to play.  Online or offline.  If your subscription runs out, you still own them and you can still play them.  If you delete it off your console, you can go back and redownload it.  You perminantly own it.

From June to December then? I'd like to see if this becomes permanent. I'm sure MS will try to do something of their own with Live on One to compete with Plus.

That's the schedule for the current slate of games, yes.  If the promotion does what it is intended to do, I doubt it will end.

You forgot to mention it comes with free horribly bad security, ps3 bricking firmware "upgrades", also the games that are worth playing are old enough you can get them for about $10 each at gamestop. Gamestop is the better choice, you get to keep the games if you get rid of psn+

no they wont.  plus has been going on for quite some time and ms only until e3 this years they throw out 13 games?  yes free to keep forever but if you think about it, xboxers were  going to pay for games with drm so what the problem with temporary games. 



For those of us who buy games and can afford an internet connection drm is a non issue. While  I'm here, I must point out xbox 360 has a higher game attachment rate than ps3. I believe that includes the "free" psn+ games. When I hear Sony's (sycophants) sicko's speak of the high quality exclusives I wonder why they do not buy purchase them.



This thread has been done many times. You are comparing (currently) two different types of services. If you like PSN+ fine; why is there a need to bring LIVE into the argument? Are you threatened by anything Xbox, you feel the need to downplay them?

PSN+ is great for people who use it and like what it offers. Same for LIVE; some of you need to stop being so insecure and just enjoy what you like. Why does everything need to be a pissing contest between systems?



That's one aspect of PS+ that is better. But in other areas live is better. It is getting harder to say live is better now though.
