It seems many people hurt the value of PS Plus them self buy buying PS Plus buy the Month! I would not pay the $120 a year $10 a Month nor do I feel its worth that price. At the November Christmas sale price of $34-$39 a year its a fantastic bargain!
As far a stats go I don't care 1% or 100% I only care about my choice.
My Plan is to stick with just PS Plus! I don't care for old PS1 and PS2 game unless they are brought up to date! I will keep a eye on titles and any upgrades to them. Trophies could be a extra incentive to play games that old. Most of my time is already taken on PS4 and PS5 games.
If I run into issues around games distribution, I will just buy a XBox to set beside my PlayStation 5! My PC has about 10 steam games on it now. Why do some people think PlayStation is laying down not trying to compete. We just came off one of the best generations ever with PS4!! The start of the PS5 generation has also been fantastic. Lack of chip supply to keep up with demand has been the only issue.
I love my Trophies but they are nothing more than a personal log of games I have played. Funny thing is the more noise people make about how bad a trophy is the more I personally want it! Just like I had to get Hanna Montana for that reason and add it to my trophy list. Trophies give you goals to complete in games sometimes to things so you don't miss them. Playing a game is not some great accomplishment it life, you are playing for enjoyment and to have fun Right?
Here we have Sony bringing new services to it's community. Giving something that many members are really excited about. Now that they can not buy PS Plus at a CDKey's discount and only one Month a PSNow to gain years of that service are upset??? Maybe SONY should just STOP trying to do good things for this community!
I wanted a single player game from the start I enjoyed No Mans Sky. I have kept up by returning to play updates. The New ships on this update are a must have for me.
Not a bad Idea for end game content to be able to put the game on a shelf with your movies. I guess people have got to the point they cant say no thanks to a option. Maybe they are just looking for something to say bad about everything.
The only thing that makes PS+ bad for a month is if you already own all 3 games! Even then I you buy physical games its OK because it helps to preserve your Disc copy.
I have owned every Diablo PlayStation and PC. I have 6 Physical World of Warcraft collectors editions for PC played it almost exclusively from day one ongoing for 8 years. I am not going to miss Diablo 4 because of 5 people out of hundreds of employees!
Most people have enough to do just taking care of there own House, Family and inner circle without worrying each person at big corporations that they happen to buy goods at does.
If you have a 4K HDR TV it's hard to turn it off for higher frame rates for me. The visuals pull me into the immersion of the game so much more. But hey, we all get to try both modes and get to pick what we each think is best for yourself. Win win!
Until they can figure out a single player non PVP game I don't care what they make. Multiplayer PVP are just for another group of people. Unless the game has a distraction or loop its impossible for Devs to keep up with the rate gamers consume that content.
Sony needs to have variety, something for everyone. No matter what type of games you enjoy . Chasing that golden goose is not a bad idea in fact they need it.
If people think a $30-$60 a year PS Plus in bad how would they feel on Micorsofts $59-$180 a year service each month when they are handed trash games on any given month!! Microsoft also are fading out out the upgrade loophole with new conversion tables for games with gold to game pass ultimate. Its also a one time thing they get locked out of the loophole once they use it.
I prefer to make my own choices for my games. I can buy a big title day one or wait for a deep discount! Why some people expect a $60 AAA game on a service that cost $4-$5 is far from my understanding. No I do Not want Game PASS Ultimate for $15 a MONTH. I do Not want a PlayStation service that cost $15 a month.
I bought it day one and would do it again. I played a little on my PS4 Pro but stopped waiting for a better experience on PS5 to continue playing. Continued with three 100% play throughs including all side quest. Filled my apartment gun rack, got the pet cat and all the apartment decorations. I avoided the police because they instantly popped in. Yeah I enjoyed my time playing but it could have been so much more.
I own both UC4 and UCLL on physical. I and upgraded to the $10 digital version. When the physical version come down in price I will buy that to add to my physical collection.
When you take the total number of any one games sales vs total number of consoles sold.Then you can see that no single game defines a console. I love my PlayStation because of its variety of many types of games.
There is no law the says you can have only one console! Even if it takes a few years to save for the second one. Fill your own needs with your own choices. Do what makes you happy. Stop worrying about other peoples choices.
PS Plus to me is a "yearly" service thats great. In fact I don't care about what Spartacus is at all. I just want to keep my low cost PS Plus service. I have been a member from PS3 two month after the start! People that pay by the month can even stop auto renew for any month they don't like! We know what each months games are before the next month starts.
As far a Xbox GOG or GP goes I have checked into Xbox services many times yearly. I have no problem buying one. I owned one once but did not play it enough so I sold it to use the money for a PSVR discount. I may buy another for Wolfenstine Diablo and Hellblade some time in the future when they come out. More then likely I will get game pass on my PC to play them for $10. Oh I did buy a Nintendo Switch in Jan this year I felt it was a better choice.
@JJ2 @thefourfoldroot @Neverwild @Martijn87 @BritneyfR_ee Thanks for the replies everyone, I was very lucky to get a PS5 at launch. The only way i knew to do a work around was to do it on a friends PS5. Each of your helpful replies may help another PS5 user. It also helped a old dog learn a new trick to better inform others.
You do know PS Plus changed to two ps4 games and one PS5 game per month a while back. With Planet Coaster Im sure the dev had a hand in what could be given away for the contract price given. The problem I see is PS4 owners can not claim the PS5 game for later when they can buy a PS5. Even though they are paying the same price for PS Plus as a current PS5 owner who can claim all 3. Sony will most likely change this to 1 PS4 game and 2 PS5 games in the future.Then the PS4 will be dropped with no games for PS4 and only 2 PS5 games will be given.
I want to replay both of the PS5 upgraded games. For $10 its a no brainer for me. Movie ticket or no movie ticket! I really don't get the naysayers here. Is this about it not being FREE? If I get a ticket in the US I will give it a chance. I will judge it from my own perspective. I just wish Sony could had gave us a choice to stream it at home.
Over the years I have bought the EA game I want at deep discounts around the Holiday season. Dragon Age, Need for Speed games, Mass Effect games. That and what EA games I have got on PS Plus gives me zero reason to add another ongoing payment plan.
Game pass at $15 a month is a loss leader! There is no margin to pay Sony for having Microsoft games on PlayStation. I am sure many people on XBox now subscribe to game pass only when a new game comes along and cancel at the end of the month then wait for the next new title to release.
It surprises me that people do not own all Uncharted games. Its one of the reasons to own a PlayStation. Just as much as God of War, Horizon, The last of Us, Ratchet and Clank and Spiderman.
Five dollars per game is nothing for the work done to remaster a game. The Movie ticket alone is worth the $10! Buying the game is a choice. It's fine not to purchase it, but to knock it down just because you don't want it or a $10 price is sadly wrong.
I don't care what trash comes out of Phil's mouth if Microsoft makes these games exclusive it Sony they are after!! They are hoping to pull from PlayStation's user base. Sony out sells Microsoft's by 2-1 in title sales most of the time now on multiplatform games.COD will have 1/3 the player base it had as a multiplatform game unless people on PlayStation switch or add a Xbox to there home. The truth will come out in 2023 when the buyout is handed over to Microsoft's lead.
Take a look back to see what game worlds you spent the most time in and what type of gamer you were.

I do not care about COD! However this is a big loss in revenue for Sony. Microsoft has taken away 3 games I would have pre-ordered. They are Diablo, Wolfenstine, and Hellblade. I could play them on my PC paying just $10 for one month when they come out on game pass. I picked up a Nintendo Switch OLED after Christmas. I now have something to fill in for the losses.
