so if you have US,EU and Japan games and want to play online you need to have a PSN account for each region with PS+ for each account????
can anyone ask Sony this please???
Oh god, so now we get xbox AND playstation "fans" defending pay-to-play online? Fuck me.
You get driveclub on instant game collection with PS+ at release, so at the very start you get what looks to possibly be a good driving game.

How often can you find PS+ discounted?
Told you guys so. Still, No DRM and used games makes up for it I think.
This is all fine by me, PS plus is excellent anyway and worth the money.
Do you people who defend this crap really think that PS+ will be as awesome as it was before now it's behind a paywall? You're in for a hilarious surprise.
Don't want to sound like an a**hole, but quit your damn crying. In light of all the recent amazing announcements by Sony, the $5 for PS+ is nothing.

not gonna happen
I think this is all mitigated by the fact that PS+ covers three devices and if you are invested in all three platforms, you already get tremendous value even without online play. It's why people are willing to pay for it now.
I mean, if you bought a PS3 and a Vita today, you basically get UC3, Xcom, UC:A and Gravity Rush for "free" with the subscription, along with whatever games happen to be free that month/week. It's not quite Netflix, but given that there's no real comparable service on any platform, it's pretty good.
I think that mitigates the fact that you need it to play online.
Now, of course, if you don't have a PS3 or a Vita, then the value of the service tremendously drops... but you have to assume that they'll throw in some more games as the service becomes more mature.
Certainly it's better than whatever the hell Microsoft offers for its own service.
Yes. As long as you sub, if your account lapses the games lock until you resub.
It's "Driveclub Plus Edition" or something, so I'm assuming it's going to actually be a glorified demo. Hopefully it's meaty, like a third of the game or something crazy.Do you really get Driveclub for free? Or an add-on to it for free?
I'd take that over DRM any day, plus all the extra stuff you get, can't complain
Dedicated servers is pretty nice, though.Certainly it's better than whatever the hell Microsoft offers for its own service.
Or you're just hilariously pessimistic.
I'm not defending it, I'm gutted I' going to have to pay for it. But the fact that the console itself is 100 cheaper, I don't have to deal with DRM and I'll be getting Driveclub and various other games for free, all this lessens the blow somewhat.
Unless you didn't buy the map packs for Gears... and I think CoD was always P2P, wasn't it?Dedicated servers is pretty nice, though.
I'm not going to pretend they dont have pros/cons.
Oh, I know that's true.In response, I would suggest PS+ has been awesome because it needed to be to get subs. Now it will have less need to be awesome.
something something lol @ paying for P2P
I'm a ps+ member, so I know what kind of value it offers, and even I think this is fucking annoying. So no, not everyone will defend this. In the end we will cave, as always, but we will cave proud, with freedom in our heart and defiance in our eyes or something.Oh god, so now we get xbox AND playstation "fans" defending pay-to-play online? Fuck me.
PS+ has always been behind a paywall. Hell it IS a paywall. I don't get what you're trying to say here.Do you people who defend this crap really think that PS+ will be as awesome as it was before now it's behind a paywall? You're in for a hilarious surprise.
Can we please not compare this to Microsoft's abomination in order to make it look better? Microsoft who has started most of these anti-consumer tactics is dead to me. Can you make excuses for it without comparing Sony's bullshit to those assholes?
I've been a Plus member from the start, but I'm curious if the pay to play covers the system or individual users. I don't typically play online but my daughter does.
Depends how MS will expand on their version of the Instant Game CollectionCertainly it's better than whatever the hell Microsoft offers for its own service.
They said it would end in November when Xbone launches though, IIRC?Depends how MS will expand on their version of the Instant Game Collection
It sucks, but like most sane people I already have PS+. Still don't like it though.
