With all of the data painstakingly collated, we can finally attempt to answer the initial question: did PlayStation Plus represent value for money in 2014? Well, according to our research, Sony gave away $1,349.29 worth of software in North America this year, and £960.64 in Europe. That’s an average of $112.44/£81.72 per month – a number which makes the service’s $49.99/£39.99 annual asking fee look like a bargain.
There are some caveats to contend with here, however. Any software given away with Sony’s subscription will expire should you opt to let your membership lapse, though you will regain access should you pod up for another term within a timely manner. In addition, it’s worth mentioning that not every title was a blockbuster, but the average monthly Metacritic rating according to our research was 79 in North America and 78 in Europe. Not to be sniffed at, then.
And, of course, the giveaways aren’t the only things worthy of note. In addition to enabling you to play online, the Japanese giant’s subscription service also offers regular discounts, as well as cloud storage, competitions, and perks such as Tune In radio. There’s also the implementation of Share Play on the PS4 to take into account as well, which allows you to create a virtual couch co-op experience with your pals – even if your mates don’t own the same games.

Are you really gonna argue that $50 for over $1,300 worth of content ranging at 79/78 Meta isnt a good deal?

How can you really argue that it is just a large amount of poor games too, when the average Meta's range from 79/78?

A digital download costs 2 cents or so.

So they gave away 674.645 game downloads?

I dont get how you can say you got something and how something you dont even own can somehow be added to a number that then shows the value you received.
I mean I cant even keep it.

If my friends lend me their games nothing gets more valuable at all.

Its like me buying every single game that exists from amazon playing it and then returning it to amazon. So by that logic I got 1 billion value for free.

Though it comes off as an advertisement, it was a struggle sometimes to fit purchased games into my schedule due to all the PS+ titles I was playing. I originally got it for the IGC on PS3 after trying it out, so getting even more with PS4 was crazy. The $15 indies add up; I can't believe how many awesome titles I would have passed over without getting them via PS+.

LOL what? You can turn ANYTHING into a negative argument.  The rational mind sees 1300>50 and can mathematically derive the value exists.  Others will need to qualify via Meta Critic lol

Thank you. If you owned a PS3 and took advantage of PS Plus this has been an amazing year. PS4 did not have the best of games, but that is to be expected of a console less than a year old. The titles listed above are over a year old, and I think the tide will shift for PS4 in year two as well.

Combine the 2 free games every month on 3 platforms, with constant sales that meet or exeed steam, the most robust online gaming platform in PSN, and what you have is single best value in gaming and entertainment.

software programms itself, all these devs are just actors, the truth is finally out

FYI. What you said has nothing to do with what I say
