So, i just bought this PS Plus 12 Months thingy at 50 Bucks.
....
Did i do right?
I mean, do the avatars and theme stay with me unlike the games after the 12 months?
Yeah you keep everything except for the 'free' games, it pretty much functions the same as Xbox Live Gold
>paying for online
Stay pleb, pleb.
>>322435120
>avatars and themes
They barely even give those out anymore.
>>322435120
PS+ is just XBL that they introduced at first with decent games to ease people into it not just straight up being XBL: Sony Edition
>>322435120
>do the avatars
W-what? PS+ gives you new avatars? I didn't know that
>>322436710
Thank you very much, anon.
I almost felt complete dispair for a while.
>>322436710
im at the edge of getting one too
so you play the "free" games while they are free or as long as your plus account is valid
You got the 12 month card for MSRP, congratulations.
>>322439083
As long you pay PS+ , i assume.
I don't think you should buy a 12 month pack like i did.
Most of the free games inly let you play them for an hour.
>>322439083
As long as you have PS+ you can play those games. Once PS+ expires, you can't play them until you re-sub. Its a sub service.
>>322435120
>paying for online that is otherwise free
>paying for literally FREEWARE
>>322439297
MSRP?
>>322439502
Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price
often used for cars and stuff
>>322439442
So... I messed up.
Damn it.
I'll make sure to not commit the same mistake again.
Thanks.
>>322439608
I can't believe sony makes its users pay for for what was once a free service, literally boggles my mind how jewy that is
>>322439540
Oh.
Well, thanks.
>>322439416
>>322439367
honestly and not shilly in any way but, its kind good
Game is free, play it while you can (surely you can finish it within said month), if you like it you cand buy it at a lower price
>>322439745
>game is free
its not free if you pay for it
>>322439083
You get to play them as long as you have PS+
A friend of mine got a year of PS+ this month even though he'll only buy a PS4 in April at the very best, if not summer. He regretted skipping through some gems. When he gets his PS4 he'll have a dozen good indies to go through
I played Gauntlet with a couple of friends couch co-op in new year's night. We did blind marathon of the whole game. Something I'd never think of spending 20€ on but we had a blast. Right now I'm trying to beat the colosseum mode with the guy that also got it "for free"
>>322439367
>Most of the free games inly let you play them for an hour.
no they don't. You get the full game for ever linked as "purchased" in your account and can play it from beggining to end, no limitations other than requiring PS+
>paying for freeware
>paying for "free" games
>paying for worthless shit
>>322439806
I did end up paying 50 bucks...
Maybe if i 'semi-complete" 2 games and a half in a year and download all exclusive avatars and themes, i would be getting a semi-decent equivalent product?
>>322440005
no matter how many games you get its still not free
>>322439806
If the "free" game came as part of the subscription and i can play another "free" game without paying actual money for the game and only for the subscription i say its free
>>322440108
I know...
I messed up.
>>322440005
If your standards are that low I don't see why any of this is worth trying to justify to yourself.
Playstation plus is pretty nice when discounts come around, they generally have bigger discounts for people that have it so it kind of pays itself off if you buy digital even a few times.
>>322440005
If you are worried about getting your money's worth, if you buy digital games you can make the sub money back with the psplus discounts on sales.
>>322440284
Anon, please get out of my mind >>322440283
>>322440158
>I say its free if I pay for it
>you don't get free games for not having PS+
>you get "free" games if you have PS+
thats still not free you idiot. Just because they say its free and you have to pay for
>>322440710
* pay for it doesn't magically not make it "free"
>>322440710
In every ps+ thread there's an idiot like you thinking it's your god's given duty to enlighten the masses.
We know. We don't care. We call it free games for convenience and to trigger fags like you.
>>322440816
>>322440710
For fucks sake just drop the quotations and call it what it is: a subscription service.
It entails games WITH the subscription, when subscription goes out, you lose them until you sub again. It's not free games because it's an advertised PART of the subscription.
>>322441013
>Pay for our subscription!
>get free games
>free avatar
>free online
>free shit
>all this free shit if you pay for our service
>>322440905
>we don't care if we're paying for freeware
>>322441264
It's their money. Why do you care?
>>322440002
I agree, Steam is garbage
>>322441508
You don't have to pay for steam services at all
>>322441505
I find it funny that people are retarded enough to pay for literal freeware
I mean its complete lunacy "hey dude you'll get this free shit if you pay me for it!"
>>322441264
>>322441632
Stay cucked by DRM, spyware, and non-physical games, PCuck. 3 dollars a month is worth it to not be a bitter salty cuck like you.
>>322441632
>literal freeware
Do you even know the meaning of the word? Are you calling things like Dishonored, Dragon's Dogma, Dragon's Crown, Uncharted 3 and Ground Zeroes freeware? Really?
>>322441786
>lol you guys are using DRM
>has a system that is literally DRM in every way worse than the PC equivalent.
>>322439442
yeah but you get like 43 free games for ps3,4 and vita
>>322441890
>if I pay for a service and I get a game for "free" its FREE because it said so right on the label! Sony wouldn't lie to me, I mean I paid them money and they gave me something for free!
>>322441904
>paying for DRM .exe file rentals from a literal spyware client
Stay cucked the fuck out, DRM faggot. Enjoy never owning a physical game.
>>322435120
I wouldn't be so against PS+ if you got to play the games after the sub runs out.And if online wasn't locked behind it obviously
>>322442062
No, really. What is your fucking definition of freeware?
I feel like I'm talking to a clinical retard.
>>322441632
>I find it funny so I write out long, salty diatribes about why it bothers me and shitpost in threads that have nothing to do with me
Mommy wouldn't get you a PS4 for Christmas? :(
>>322442101
Steam is free
do you really think the PS4 operating system isn't DRM? do you think the EULA you agreed to with your PS4 isn't an allowance to the same DRM?
>never owning a physical game
you realize the DRM on your disk and on your PS4 is the same EULA that steam and everyone else does right?
>>322442178
software that doesn't cost money to acquire.
Paying for online that once in time WAS free is absolutely ludicrous especially when you're not paying for anything new over it
>>322442282
I have a PC that has free online
>>322442101
>never owning games
I have a crack for every one of my games, even if steam failed I could still play them and on all the private servers toofor free
>>322442326
Everything on a PC is DRM including your OS. Enjoy your Windows 10 and Steam spyware, faggot.
>>322442326
>software that doesn't cost money to acquire.
So, none of the games offered through PS+ can be called literal freeware. Ever. Not even the indie shit I thought you were calling freeware in order to demean.
Seek help. Or suicide.
>>322442554
Everything on a PS4 is DRM including every piece of software on it. Enjoy your OrbitOS DRM and spyware, faggot
>>322436710
You keep Xbox Live Gold Free Games.
>>322442636
>uhh... well kill yourself
>>322442780
It's the easiest way to rid the world of your stupidity.
>>322442668
>>322442780
Kill yourself kid
Report this shitposting faggot, everyone
I like how non-PS4 users are bitching over semantics of what is considered free or not
OP could've gotten a better deal at 35-40$ (those are always around, look em up) but for that price you get enough games in a year to justify it.
In 2015 if I paid for the indies I got to spend 10, 20 or in some cases 40+ hours on, I would've spent much more Yurobucks than the PS+ subscription
Just this year I got to play
-inFAMOUS: First Light (didn't buy the original, this was enough for me)
-Transistor
-Rogue Legacy (40+ hours)
-Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, New ‘n’ Tasty!
-Valiant Hearts
-Guacamelee
-Hohokum
-MGSV: Ground Zeroes (this alone would be the cost of the subscription at launch)
-Skulls of the Shogun
-Rocket League (countless hours)
-Sound shapes
-Grow Home
-Super Time Force Ultra
-Super Meat Boy
-Magicka 2 (Will play it more after Gauntlet)
-Dragon Fin Soup (not that good but liked the humor)
-Gauntlet (20+ hours in the span of the last 3 days)
Free or not, it's a good price for those who can't bother to follow every indie release and just get to casually stumble upon them with no direct price of admission. I wouldn't think about playing (much less paying for) more than half of the games on that list. The last and only indie I bought was N++. It's a nice way to try out new shit without feeling like you wasted 5€, 10€, 20€, etc on each and every game
It's just a comfy kind of feeling, to look up next month's games and see if any interest you, then download and play them """for free"""
>>322442937
>exactly correct counter point
>fucking kill yourself!
>>322441890
>>322442062
This has got the be one of the most non sequitur replies I've seen yet on this board.
>>322442554
I didn't download windows 10.
What do you think I am, a retard like you?
>>322435120
>paid 50 bucks to play online
>Did i do right?
>being enough of a peasant to ask this unironically
>Hear nothing but good things about PvZ Garden Warfare.
>Decide to pick it up for $20 at Walmart
>Load game in, need PS+
>Fuck it, I'll do the 2 day trial. It's not like have my billing info
>Have a fuck-ton of fun with the game
>Realize that in 3 hours I'm not going to be able to play it anymore
>Slowly inching closer and closer to caving and buying the year pass.
>>322443003
I find it funny that even ONE good game usually makes it worth having PS+, considering there have been some bombshells in PS+ history like Rocket League which was brand fucking new and still came out as a free game.
Also it's stupid to say but you get even more value if you have more than one Sony console since then you can play the other stuff too if it ends up ever being good like Freedom Wars was in one month.
test
>>322442751
only on 360.
idk if 360 games on one counts either. and everyone always fights me onthis so again.
no. you really dont get to keep the xbone games. google it.
>>322443236
Silly goy EA gave Garden Warfare for free (actual free not the kind we're discussing here) to every PS4 owner last year.
>>322442780
>I'm oldfag guise i been here three weeks. XD :^)
>>322443236
You could have gotten PvZGW for free this time last year. EA gave it, Mirror's Edge and a Need For Speed away on the store as a commemoration of some Playstation milestone.
>>322443465
nice meme
>>322441965
And only about 6 of those will be any good.
When do the free games actually get good? How often do they update?
>>322443562
Once a month, it's mostly shit but if you have a ps3 and vita as well there's at least one guaranteed gem
>>322443236
>Decide to pick it up for $20 at Walmart
>Load game in, need PS+
That's pretty ironic.
I got that game last year (I think) as a PS+ "freebie" title. Half the price of the subscription gone and what a wonderful game it is.
>>322443329
Yeah, Rocket League as a big surprise, I couldn't believe the fun I had with it. And I usualy fucking hate sport games and anything sport-related
>>322443427
Dang, that sucks. I just picked up my PS4 on Black Friday so I've probably missed a bunch of shit.
I'm still a little mad that you literally can't play the game without PS+ though. I wish it had a single player mode.
>>322443674
I should start checking out the ps3 games then
>>322443759
PS3 has DA:O this month, if you never played on PC and want to go through unbearable framerate.
>>322443913
>game has $90 of DLC
>or you can buy its Ultimate Edition for less than $30
what a deal
>>322443913
Why would anyone want to play a post KOTOR Bioware game?
>>322444337
I like Dragon Age. Even Inquisition. I think a better question is who would play a console Bioware game
>>322443707
You didn't technically need a PS4 to claim those games, just a PSN account.
>>322443707
>>322444645
Yeah protip for anyone that doesn't know: Just go to the browser Playstation store and "buy" all the playstation plus free games, saves the hassle of doing it on each console and you can even get shit for consoles you don't have just because.
>paying for online
No you did not do right.
You fucking idiot.
I think I'm the only person I know that has a PS4 with no PS+ subscription.
If I can only get two which should I go for?
>>322441786
>sonycuck talking about getting cucked when he literally pays for using his own internet line again to play online, being in a drm ecosystem and losing access to the "free" games like the pathetic cuck he is after he unsubscribes
I guess going Sony makes you a literal retard
Why would you ever pay the full 50 USD? You can get it for 30-35 dollars online, which makes it way less terrible as a service.
>People defend having to pay to access P2P multiplayer
