PlayDevil: IS PS Plus finally a serious contender?

Here is a snippet:

"I personally welcome this competition because as most gamers are aware the better online gaming of the 2 front running consoles has always edged towards the XBOX 360 and for the time being I can honestly see this staying the same but if Sony continue the momentum it is building with the all singing all dancing new PS+ service then the 2 horse race could become ever closer."

It was a contender from the start and immediately became the best paid service in gaming. For $50 a year you get tons of free games that are not free anywhere else verses paying $60 a year just to rent the multi player portion of the games you already paid $60 for.

PS+ is a service which means if you don't pay you can't play the free games just like if you don't pay for XBL you can't access the multi player half of you games anymore. It's a no brainer.

What sounds better to you guys? Paying money to rent games like Infamous 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Borderlands, Just Cause 2, and more or paying money to rent the multi player portion of your games, rent Facebook, rent Twitter, rent Youtube, and rent the ability to use your Netflix account, things that are all free everywhere esle.

GribbleGrunger5005d ago

Agreed. Even when you consider you are essentially renting those games if you don't re-subscribe, you try renting 44 games a year and see how much that adds up to. Then you also get price reductions on games you want to buy. Might as well also mention 1GB online storage and auto updates too. Great value.

And also don't forget that ALL avatars & themes are yours to keep FOREVER. Take a handful of $3 dynamic themes and a massive amount of .50 avatars & those themselves would equate to a good chunck of that $50. And, FYI, for new and current subscribers, make sure to frequently check your e-mail for beta codes for random future games (in the span of 2 months I got the Dust 514 beta before it was added to the PS+ section, PSASBR beta, and some co-op Ratchet & Clank beta)

Plus there's discounts, early access to beta's and the download only titles like Machanarium & Scott Pilgrim ect. PS+ is a really good deal these days

b163o15005d ago

My argument was that, Xbox users had to pay for Internet and also have to pay for their online service which was asinine to me. PS+ it's much younger but has a better online service then Microsoft's.

Tetsujin5005d ago

I like the idea it's an "option" not a "requirement"

I'm up for renewal soon, and will not hesitate to get another year of +

Lucretia5005d ago

pffft,

Normal free PSN was already a contender, and still beats live imo.

i can play online, watch netflix, crunchy roll, ammazon video, Hulu, browser internet, watch youtube, all for free

so obviously PS+ is leagues better

TopDudeMan5005d ago

I won't be renewing mines, simply because I don't have time to play all the games they're throwing at me. But it's a great deal.

It has been for a long time now where has everybody been?

ravinash5005d ago (Edited 5005d ago )

I've been sitting on the fence deciding if it was worth my while buying this service since it first came out.
Not because it wasn't value for money, but because these days I don't have the time to take advantage of it.
Now with the discount and downloading RDR, infamous2 & Borderlands, it's finally pushed me over the edge.

Still not sure where I'm going to find the time to play all these games...unless I start ignoring the wife.

Skate-AK5005d ago

Ah but you ignore her you miss out on the funest game ever.

hennessey865005d ago

There is nothing else out there that is anything like PS+

abzdine5005d ago

Right now about 7 AAA titles are for free on PS+, and many PSN exclusives as well, add to that a bunch of price reductions on many content, 1 hour full game trial, exclusive betas, automatic download, auto sync, online storage and see if 50$ is a lot of money.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5832d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905832d ago (Edited 5832d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5832d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5832d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495832d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5832d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5832d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
