I never said its always better, i said renting lots of new content which has a good chance of including games you hadnt got round to buying yet or couldnt afford yet is better than owning really old content that surely by now you already bought or decided you didnt want anyway.

But i expect Games for gold content will become more relevant as they carry on with it, as i also said earlier it took psn+ sometime to get up to speed on decent content. 

Wrong its still 2.

The purpose of the Games for Gold feature is to extend the life of the Xbox 360 beyond the Xbox One launch.  The idea is to keep gamers gaming on both platforms, rather than abandon the older one.  The same is true with PS+, hence why if you're currently a PS+ member you don't have to get another subscription for the PS4 or the Vita.

As for the Xbox One, on Day One they get Xbox Fitness free for a year, as well as Killer Instinct.  But my guess is after six months Microsoft will begin making some games available for free from the Xbox One library.  DriveClub for PS+ isn't much of a game, it's intended to intice gamers to purchase DriveClub.  And since that's now delayed there is only one game available for free for PS+ members. 

I see, so my wording was false there - you need to have access to Xbox Live Gold to receive these games. In most cases you need to pay for this access, yet there are cases like the free weekend or free monthly vouchers and such that actually let you receive the games for free. That's very generous of MS.

Your wording in the post I answered to wasn't entirely accurate either for example in the sentence "Sony doesn't give you any free games.". In fact I did receive free games from Sony, just not through PS+ (which you didn't mention as condition).

I wouldn't mind older games. Ace Combat 6: Fire of Liberation is still the best flight combat simulator for the 7th gen. Hope it comes in the program so Namco can follow up.

What are the two?  I only knew of the DriveClub for PS+.

Wouldn't mind Tomb Raider, Skyrim and Rayman Legends, any of those will be years away tho.

Resogun and Contrast. Both brand new games.

That's not MS's fault. Publishers certainly don't want to give away those games so soon. With PS Plus they would get part of the rent Sony collects for every download.

Awesome news! But the game selection could definitely improve. I've played or own almost every game released so far. Would love to see some lesser known gems, or, if it's a blockbuster, at least a blockbuster from this decade.

It's a really nice service for brand new Xbox owners, though, who haven't had the chance to buy games like Halo 3 and Crackdown.
