you still have to pay for PS+
Still have to pay for petrol and road tax for said car in order to get to work for FREE.
Xbox GOLD still gets paid just like PS+ gets paid, yet one gives you these games for free while the other gives you a discount.
Anyway Mass Effect 3 DLC please :)
One also lets you play games online while the other one lets you do that for free (without the subscription). All those free games you get on PS+ expire when you don't resubscribe too, so if say you were interested in signing up to that service for those games, you'll only get a month to keep them if you don't opt to get the 12 month service.
It is a good service, but you just have to keep resubscribing in order to keep the stuff you get free. And I think you can only have something like up to 14 free games at a time on your console?
Also, getting to work FREE--with purchase of a car.. doesn't make sense, you still have to pay for fuel and insurance when you have a car, so you aren't technically getting there for free.
I'm glad someone pointed out that PS+ titles are not exactly free. If you don't resubscribe to a service that basically sells itself on the promise of free games, you lose said free games. PS+ is NOT the fantastic, amazing, Xbox LIVE beater that everybody assumes it is.
Yeah but if you were getting a constant stream of free games every month why on earth would you stop paying the subs?? On top of that once I've played a game I get shut of it .... no point virtually hoarding something that I'll never play again, physical copy or not
You can call it a rental service if you like but considering loads of Xbox gamers rent a lot of what they play anyway then what's the difference? Do you get that emotional about not being able to play a game any more once you've returned the game back to Blockbusters / Gamefly / Lovefilm / wherever?
I don't own a PS3 but even I can see that it's FAR better value for money than XBL
Some people may stop resubscribing because of financial reasons, or they want to save up for something big. It's just, say you got Dead or Alive 5 with PS Plus and it was one of your favorite games, if you decided to stop using the service and didn't want to put down that game, then you'll either have to resubscribe or purchase the game.
It's a good service, but just has it's cons like everything else does.
