While I've only had three months of PS+ thanks to a free code sent to me in my email, it has been pretty cool. I've gotten a dozen or so free games. Sure I wouldn't usually even consider them for purchase, but free is always a good incentive. And now that it gave me Journey nearly two weeks in advance, I love it.

That is pretty amazing. I remember when people were highly skeptical of PS Plus when it first debuted, but now it's really proven its worth; I might even take the plunge and get a subscription sometime soon now.

The only problem with PSN plus and me is that I have lots of games to play so I had a hard time utilizing the what I got in the subscription time and the stuff I got from it: like Hydrophobia, Costume Quest, Burn Zombie Burn, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Marvel Prinball palled to the other stuff I was playing at the time. Especially Hydrophobia. I didn't have time to play the Back to the Future games or Swords and Soldiers before my sub ran out unfortunately. Plus PSN+ didn't really offer discounts on games I wanted. Like during that 3 month subscription all I felt compelled to buy was Rochard.

I'm sure if I got a year I'd be more satisfied since I think I choose a bad time to activate it. But I have a hard time bringing myself to get it despite your favorable impressions (like I've already played the old Spyro games, Crash, Resident Evil and stuff like Plants vs Zombies..what makes me think they'll offer discounts on games I want to buy or free games I'll want to play. Granted, if they have a good discounts on Skullgirls, the Guilty Gear PSN port, Retro City Rampage, Journey, and Jet Set Radio or even have them free, I'll eat my words).

The big discounts come a few times a year during PSN Sales. There are usually 4 or so a year and the games included are marked down about 25% for everyone but an extra 25% for PS Plus Users. They are running a sale this week for the "Best of PSN" which includes Angry Birds, inFAMOUS Festival of Blood, Limbo, Resident Evil 4, God of War: Origins Collection and more all for 50%.

I guess the morale of the story is the longer you have Plus the more likely you'll get something you want.

I don't have Plus on my account but my boyfriend has it on his account. Surprisingly, we haven't used it much for the sales. Just the free games and the Cloud storage. And with how much we've paid for the sub, the fact that we didn't lose much of our saved data when the old PS3 died on us has proved its worth. At least to me, it has.

Marvel Prinball? Sounds like someone's got NIS games on the mind, ohohoho.

I had Plus for about the first three months it was available, and I have to say that it wasn't really worth having. In terms of content I wanted, though, it almost paid off since Stacking was free early on. Now, though, Sony is throwing tons of things at Plus member. It's still not definite that you'll ever get anything you would actually have wanted from the subscription, but it's a lot more likely now, at least.

Not sure how that happened, honestly dood. But yeah, "Marvel Pinball" was probably the best game of the bunch I've played (well, got for free), but I dunno, I felt like I got the experience I wanted out of it in a hour or two.

And see, I think that Costume Quest was the best out of the ones you listed. Out of all the ones I've downloaded, I believe that it got the most play time. Of course, that is with my kids as they love the game.

Dang it, now I want an official NIS "Prinball" game.

That's a good point 905. Plus went through a number of changes over the past year and has emerged a better program. We're definitely getting more quality content per month now than when I subscribed in 2011. They are also better about offering discounts on highly anticipated PSN releases. It will be interesting to see how the Vita fits into Plus.

I'm definitely pleased with PS+ so far. My subscription runs out in July and I'll definitely be getting another year of the service. I've really saved quite a bit of money on free games that I probably would have paid for. They have a pretty decent selection of free stuff each month.
