PSN Plus - Is It worth it?

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
Is it worth it? Are the free games typically good and worth the membership price?

The free games for me have been awesome. But really it is completely up to you on rather or not it would be worth it. Some people buy all the games they want early so the free games don't help them much. I might by 5-9 titles a year and that is assuming it is a good year. For me, the free games gives me a chance to experience some games that I might have otherwise not have played.

Really, depends on how much you would play the free games that are available. Or how many games you buy off the PSN.

I had it when it first released. Never bought a single game, never really played any of the free PS1 games or anything, except for Plants vs. Zombies. Wasn't worth it in my opinion and will never buy it again.

The decision is yours. Check out the free games/discounts via the store and see what you'd be interested in. If you think you'd save some money in the long run then go for it!

Well, just check out what games they're currently offering for PSPlus members. See if they appeal to you or if you own them already.

I probably have about a couple hundred dollars in free games thanks to PS plus. So for me its worth it. Obviously if I had already owned the games then it would be a different story.

I own one game, GT5. I actually only bought a PS3 for it (with a Logitech G27 wheel). I figured it might be worth it because I don't plan on buying any more games.

Not only are the free games great (free while you subscribe BTW), the discounts on game downloads, retail and PSN quality, have been fantastic. The big savings pay for the service, and the cloud storage and auto-patching is icing on the cake.. PS+ is the best deal in gaming right now IMHO.

I love it, so many free games, cloud storage, and auto updates.

I say again. Who cares if the games are free when you don't play them?

I agree the 1GB cloud update and auto update is convenient though. Not worth the money just for that.
