I'm on the fence about buying a 1 year subscription to PS Plus

[ Edited ]

Just wondering whether the purchase is "worth it." Any Opinions?

Re: I'm on the fence about buying a 1 year subscription to PS Plus

Plus is the best value in gaming IMO. here are some free games i've gotten for my $50: Borderlands, The Walking Dead 1 & 2, Infamous 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Payday and Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition (tomorrow). That alone, for me, is worth $50 and that's only a fraction of the free games i've recieved. Add the hefty discounts, cloud game saves, and full game trials - all exclusive to PS+ - and it's easy to see the value.

IMO the subscription is well worth it, but you should look over the games in the IGC and see if it is worthwhile for you.  If you own a Vita, PS+ will be supporting that platform with free games and cloud storage for that platform too...

Of course it is worth it. You make your $50 back and more in such a short time. My favorite things about Plus is the cloud saving and and the automatic update system.

And since Plus is coming to the Vita this month, I'll get even more value off of the same subscription.

There are updates made to PS+ every Tuesday. Tomorrow NFL Blitz is going to be removed and RE5 Gold is going to be added...

Re: I'm on the fence about buying a 1 year subscription to PS Plus

In buying PlayStation Plus, you should determine whether the value is worth it for you. By looking at the Instant Game Collection (which is shifted around each month) you'll notice fifteen different freebies such as LittleBigPlanet 2, BloodRayne: Betrayal, The King of Fighters XIII, and Outland. Are you specifically dying to get your hands on any of these games? Then yes, Plus just might be the ticket you need.

 

However, if you've played quite a few games over the years then there's a chance some of the freebies making it into the collection will have already been added to your system in the past. With Resident Evil 5 coming up, many gamers will have already spent time on this popular 2009 release. From hits to zeros, not all of the games of the Instant Game Collection will always be a pleasure to experience for the first time or again, but again it all depends on whether these titles actually seem like they'd be worth the mustard.

 

Then again, there are other aspects of Plus you might want to concentrate on. One of the best games of 2011 is having its price snipped down to $13 this week with Portal 2. Haven't played the game? Then obviously having Plus would rescue you from spending extra on the digital edition. Avatars and themes, some free and some not, are thought of for users who like to dress up their PlayStation 3 in style. PlayStation Vita games too are being added this month where if you have the hardware then you can also have the games that will get their price slashed or stripped all together for your benefit as a potential PlayStation Plus subscriber.

If I get Plus later this month or  Dec  will they bring back NFL Blitz at all ?  Or once they remove games on Plus they don't come back?

For the most part, the game is unlikely to come back. So get it while you can.

This would be very unlikely.  If they were to bring it back any time soon, people would complain because it is being repeated...
