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?


I've played both and I would highly recommend Lone Survivor.

Thomas was alone is good but extremely short.

Thanks!  I think my backlog is up to 10 games or so now lol.  Doesn't help that I'm really loving AC4 and Batman AO and they both involve such a large time commitment.

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?


Do you consider relying on PS+ to cover your gaming needs? Cut down the number of games you buy and be content with what PS+ offers you?


I would love to do this, but there are too many games that I want to play on day one.



Predicting that Second Son (PS4) will outsell Titanfall (XOne) in lifetime sales.  Click here for sales comparison thread.

I saw the value right away and jumped on board immediately. Just with the discounts alone, it's paid for itself. The games are just a bonus, like being able to stream movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime.

I'm definitely going to cut down on the number of games I'll be buying now, but not entirely going to rely on it. Some of the free games they offer(ed) are games I was interested in, but I'll be buying games from my favorite series on day one like Final Fantasy and Persona. New IPs and other franchises can wait.

I just can't imagine prices going lower or I wouldn't bit lol

Right now I gotta finish AC4, Batman AO, and KH1 HD (just started that before Christmas break and getting distracted with Batman).  Then I gotta start and finish Contrast, FC3 BD, Ratchet Nexus, Kingdoms of Amalur, Borderlands 2, Dragon's Dogma, and probably a couple others I forgot on Plus.  Oh yeah and I got Don't Starve on Plus and I'm getting Bioshock...oh and DMC!  FUUUUUUUUU...

I see. Thank you very much.

I love it. It's quite revolutionary and has no match in the industry thus far.

Haha I'm playing similar games. Currently playing KH1 HD, Super Mario 3D Land, Paper Mario 3DS, Oddworld Stranger's Wrath. Contrast, Skyward Sword, Ducktales and Assassin's Creed IV simultaneously. I started Borderlands 2, Kingdom of Amalur, Far Cry 3, Sleeping Dogs, LA Noire, Odyssey to the West and DmC. Still have to start Batman City and Origins, Castle of Illusion, Infamous 1 and 2, Sly 2 and 3, Shadow of Collosus, Muramasa Rebirth, New Little King's Story, Tomb Raider, Tales of Xillia, Dead Space 1,2 and 3 and a bunch of indie titles

 

:( I don't even know why I bothered to get a PS4 and what makes it worse is that I'm a trophy hunter -_- I might just not bother buying games for next gen thanks to PS+ and my backlog
