Microsoft Responds To 'Games With Gold' Not Being As Good As 'Playstation Plus'

@JordanC49433579 Met with the team, feel good about first half of '14 (that's as far as we talked about). Agree Brothers is a good PSN+ give

Microsoft has been charging for online gaming for years and has given little to nothing away for free. For them its about every nickel "oh no if we give them a newer game we may lose a whole $1".

I won't care until 2015+ when I get the Xbox One.

PSN+ is now definitely better than Live Gold

This will(.......should) all shift as X1 continues to lose ground against PS4. I wouldnt be surprised if Sony gave a bit less(now they are #1) and MS a bit more and we will see decent middle of the road offerings on both systems.

In before :
"But But PSN games are just rented and Xbox games are FOREVAA!!"

IMO Xbox Gold Games starts on The One in Summer 2014? Meaning the first games are only 6 moths old. So on the Xbox One at least this program imo is far better than PSN+ as users will be getting 2 games a month still worth £25 each brand new and TO KEEP, NOT Rent.

On 360 it started really late, and so we got games worth nothing and already played. But now we get games up to date and still worth money brand new.

IMO Ill take a free copy of DR3 in June to keep and then say Crimson Dragon? Thankyou Microsoft for saving me £50/month on games I would have waited longer to purchase.

You still get to keep games when your membership runs out do you not?

The games they have been giving out are a hell of a lot better than what PS+ gave out in the beginning. It took PS+ a long time before they really started giving out semi recent "AAA" games that people "care about". Also, as someone else pointed out already, there's a difference between what XBL does where you keep the games forever and what PS+ does where it's basically Netflix.

The truth hurts.
