Playstation Plus

[Silent1]

I've just bought a 90 day subscription to it and I'm currently evaluating it, does anyone think it's worth it? I've downloaded all the free stuff including expansion packs for games I don't have
So what do people think and is there anything I should do with it?
As for the poll, does anyone think it's worth it?

excuse my ignorance but what is it exactly?

[Silent1]

http://uk.playstation.com/playstationplus/ should explain it

[Raverbaby]

Thanks, looks not bad!

Cant make my mind up at moment .... love the idea of lots of downloads but it just doesn't seem to have that "killer" feature for me.

Only thing I can think of is the overnight downloads and even then its doesn't take to long to get them at the time !

Oh.. Didnt even know it was happening this year. How did it get past me like that. Not that I will be signing up though. Im happy with PSN as it is now.

I don't see the point, no killer feature as you say.

The automatic d/l sound useful but should be part of the basic system and don't take too long anyway. The games are all a bit basic and you lose them if you stop subscribing (dunno about the discounted ones). The demos I can wait for and the full access to games for 1 hours is limited and if there isn't a demo I wouldn't bother anyway (huge downloads for some of these as well I assume).

The blurb for the games said i got to keep them even if i stopped subscribing

IMHO it should also have the firstplay magazine subscription included.

How much is it?

[Silent1]

£11.99 for 90 days or ~£40 for a year IIRC.

[Original Poster]

Not too bad then...

[Silent1]

Just a quick bump, after some evaluation I'd say it's currently not worth buying. But as I said to gpm and norbury I will keep buying it to keep ph informed if it's actually worth it and will advise if it does improve

[Silverbullet767]

Thanks for being the guinea pig!

Not worth it for me, I barely use the PS3, and I'll only use it for GT5 when it comes out. If it improves GT5 in any way then I'll go for it!

[Jasandjules]

I don't use the on-line PS3 stuff (save for games) to really want that kind of thing.

What are the game expansion packs - which games are covered??
