Forums - Sony - I was wrong about PS+

When PS+ was announced, I totally thought it was a waste of cash, and a few months after the program started running, I felt I was correct on my initial assumption. $2 off some DLC nobody wants..woo! Some old games for free...woo! Access to beta that eventually becomes public...woo! The free PS+ trial Sony gave us after the Credit Card fiasco did nothing for me as well.

However, I, like many others, jumped on the Black Friday deal, but didn't enroll in it until a week later. In just less than two months, I definitely got my $30 worth and even more. Here's what did it for me:

  • BioShock Infinite - A game that was released not too long ago and retails for $30 on Amazon. I enjoyed the previous BioShock games, and I'm glad I get to try the latest one without spending extra cash.
  • Deus Ex HR Director's Cut - Was going to buy this (also $30), but when I saw it was going to be on sale for $13, I jumped at it. I've sold my original copy for around $20, so that pretty much paid my new DE copy and a little more.
  • Tales of Xillia - For $10. Nuff' said
  • Also got a bunch of PSN titles for half price.

As for the features, they're pretty neat. I can have my PS3 turn on by itself while I'm at work, so it could update my games & system and also upload game saves. Sony definitely stepped it up with the PS+ program, and hopefully they keep this momentum going. Just wanted to give my two cents and admit I was wrong.

 

 

 

 

Am I the only one who hated PS Plus at first but now likes it?

Well, PS+ got amazing after E3 2012 iirc, before it was pretty meh. Now to be honest, I could buy a couple of must have games a year, and easily live off PS+ for the rest of it, amazing deal really. (especially if you rarely buy games Day 1 like me)



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Im kind of with ya. I thought ps+ sucked at first, but honestly, it is because it did. Free spyro ps1 games? Worthless in my opinion. Ps+ didnt really start getting good until about a year after it came out. It is great now, especially since it encompasses all of the sony systems.



I avoided it for a while, but I'm glad I jumped aboard. It's been well worth the price for all the games I've played.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I totally agree with you - I was watching when they announced Plus, "discounts for games" and i thought hell i dont wanna pay £40 for discounts for games I may never buy

Now a year later I get 5 free games a month, and discounts to quite a few games that i actually find i want to buy.

Plus is a winner

Plus >= Steam sale

Did you bother to notice that there is an instant game collection waiting for you?



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Thanks to the current discounts gonna have it for at least a month now, so... we'll see if I change my opinion also (just strictly didn't NEED it yet)



I had PS+ for about a month. I don't think I did anything with it except download the free avatars and themes. Cancelled it on the 7th. I could see why people love it, though. Me, I have so much stuff that I need to play that I couldn't spend one minute on the stuff they offered. I buy too many games.



I had $10 from PS4 launch in my wallet so I got Blood Dragon and Bioshock today.

Now just one question for all of you. Thomas was Alone or Lone Survivor?

Got my PS+ when I bought my PS4. I saw Gravity Rush and Uncharted for free for the Vita, I went out and buy the Vita. Then I realize they had Uncharted 3 for free for the PS3. Now they have the new Devil May Cry and Biochock Infinite for free.
So I have PS3, PS4, PS Vita and PS+. The best deal out of those 4 is the PS+ for me.
