Forums - Gaming Discussion - Playstation Plus is worth every penny, here is valid proof why.

The only thing that worries me is if Sony will add fewer "free" games to PSN Plus for PS4 from now on.

Free games was only incentive for last gen, but current gen it's online gaming now.

I dunno, anyone have any feedback on this, or maybe upcoming release for the Instant Gaming Collection?

Playstation plus is worth it, but playstation plus puts an insane ammount of pressure on you to continue paying cause if you dont you find yourself with zero games. I find that pressure, unconfortable. I also find it unconfortable to have Sony pick wich games go free. I am picky with my gaming moods and it would just thrown me off course and into chaos with my back catalog.

So... worth it? Yes. At all confortable and flexible? No.
I dont play much online multiplayer on consoles aswell, so i find it raises more issues than its worth it for me.


Here's a few things that should help offset people.

If you give up 1 Carton of Cigarettes, you can afford Playstation Plus

3 cases of beer, you can afford Playstation Plus

Skip 2 movies with a girl, you can afford Playstation Plus

Cook home meals versus going out to eat 5 times, you can afford Playstation Plus

Wait a month after release to buy 5 games(2 if EA)  you can afford Playstation Plus

Skip going to the bar 1-3 nights, you can afford Playstation Plus

If none of these scenarios apply to said people, you have a legitimate gripe for not owning Playstation Plus, besides the forced online for Non-Freetoplay games.   I am also hoping that when Subscription based games come out, you won't need Plus either.

The Playstation 4 also comes with a free Month to Playstation Plus, if you currently do NOT own a subscription, if you do, sell/give it to a friend.   You also get $10 to spend in the store.


I dont smoke, i dont drink, i dont watch movies on the cinema often, i cook and i dont go to the bar. So... its still more than i would normally spend. ^^

PSN Plus will be weak early on for PS4 users because there really isn't any PS4 games out that can be given for free. I know resogun was a high rated game that was given for free and DriveClub I believe is going to be given away for free too.

 

But yea you'll really see the value of PSNPlus as a PS4 owner around year 2 of next gen.

PS+ is by far the best gaming service ever created. There is nothing that comes close to it....nothing.

The amount of games I've gotten across PS3/PS4/Vita is insane. I don't think I can ever finish off all these games...ever


While I love PS+ Steam and Humble Bundle rival PS+ for the tremendous value they offer.

Except 99.9% of those games are complete garbage.

Steam is a platform from how I see it.

Then yes, I'd say you have a very valid point then :)    And thank you for not taking my comment the wrong way.

There are still plenty of games they can discount or make free.   I was shocked when I saw Battlefield 3 offered for free, there are some other gems too.

I know that since launch, PS4 has had the same two games, and that's fair since it's hard to get consoles.  Pretty sure it's another 3 months until another physical game is released, it probably will be Indy games, NBA Live, or some other game badly rated, but EA Sports Games are never offered free.

I know that me personally, I got Playstation Plus because of the value and free content offered with PS3 and PSVita back in 2010, plus all the Mini's and other stuff.   The fact that this is carrying over to Playstation 4 is awesome.

I even got a Playstation Shirt for participating in that PRO/Legendary beta or whatever they had for Playstation Plus when it was in Beta.
