Very true on the 50$ a year. Just sucks PS is going a subscription for online play. However, it was bound to happen. I thought it would happen sooner though.
Yep. And I have been on board since day one of PS+. It was "good" at the start...AMAZING now. And since it's required for online play, I've noticed for the first time ever, a sale on subscriptions.Originally Posted by SCClassof93
I agree but it might be less of a good deal when PS4 launches. I don't know what free PS4 games they are going to be able to give us after launch. I just cannot see them giving us launch titles for free a month or two after launch. I suppose they will rely on indy titles and possibly some PS3 Classics that they can port over and/or get to stream through Gaikai.
Apparently it will apply to both systems? Play the good stuff they offer on the 3
Well we're already getting two goon PSN games in Don't Starve (and the other title escapes me at the moment), plus DriveClub. I'm assuming it may be a few months before we get a retail PS4 title, but I bet we will still get good PS4 PSN titles, and as you said streamed PS3 titles. I will still be using my PS3 for a good year or two after the PS4 is out to catch up on games. I'll be using it much more so than the PS2 after the PS3 came out for sure.
Yes, I assume if streaming isn't available yet, it'll be for PS3. I bet some even better retail titles for PS3 will be on the way for PS+ once the PS4 comes out.Apparently it will apply to both systems? Play the good stuff they offer on the 3
Hell, I still fire up my PS2 from time to time when I feel like playing some of the old Final Fantasies.
I've got almost all of them on my PS3 and Vita now.Hell, I still fire up my PS2 from time to time when I feel like playing some of the old Final Fantasies.
I still wish I had my PS2 to play some NCAA Baseball thoughdamn backwards compatibility, and damn MS for not adding it to the list of compatible games.
Yeah, I've still got all the Playstation One originals (in their 3 or 4 disc cases), FF Tactics, FF Anthology, FF 7, FF 8 and FF 9, and then FF 10, FF 10-2 and FF 12 on PS2. So I keep my PS2 Slim hooked up in my entertainment center and fire it up now and then.I've got almost all of them on my PS3 and Vita now.

I still don't see what's amazing about it. They do 2 things that just absolutely drive me nuts:
1. Old games. 99% of the time, the games are a well over a year old. To boot, Sony loves to throw in their failures in there, usually something that can be bought for under $10. LittleBigPlanet Karting or whatever is just the recent example.
2. The service is pretty well useless for someone like me who plays lots of games. Out of the time I've had Plus, I'd say I've already played 80% of the stuff they bring to Plus. The other 20% is fighters that I'm not going to play anyway.
I was going to let it run out but if it's required for online for PS4, there isn't much of a point now.
I will say, though, that if you don't buy or rent a lot of games, then it probably is a GREAT service.
People rent games still?
Why do you think people are so pissed about Microsoft's policies on used games/rentals?
I think it's going for $40 right now. I'll try to get it within the next few weeks.
Well just from buying used games from gamestop and places not from renting games. I haven't rented stuff in a long time I just buy them used or new if its a game I like like sports or FPS.
It's called Gamefly and hundreds of thousands of people use it for their main gameplaying library. What Microsoft is doing could potentially make that go away or, at the very least, be VERY difficult to implement for the XBONE.
And this is why I had to upgrade my PS3 hard drive again. Had 30GB left on my 320GB hard drive. And knowing how the installs work you actually need 80GB free to dl and install the game. It's still backing up...I hope I get to play any game today/tonightGrabbed UC 3, 40gb!!!! Six files to dl and install..........play tomorrow.....I hope
Man some people are taking this whole pay to play online crab online way to seriously are getting to butt hurt about it because now they gotta pay for online service ugh people. It's over on the main PlayStation board people are just flipping out and its funny.
As they should. I can't even begin to count how many comments I've read from PS owners over the years making fun of how Live users have to pay a fee to play online while they can do it for free. I'd always say, "just wait, Sony will do it eventually," which would of course draw the "you're a Xbot" comments. Karma.
In all seriousness, though, the writing was on the wall. They saw how much Live was making for Microsoft (hint: it's a ton) and they introduced Plus, which for many has been a great service. It's priced well, so I have no problem paying for it, nor should anyone else that wants to play online. At least you get games in the process.
I think I heard Mr. Tretton say that the reason that they made multiplayer paid is to help circumvent the cost of the PS4. They gotta make up that money from having the PS4 only $399.
