PSN - Worth it?

Futuristic

You should really pay yearly, you are getting ripped off paying monthly.

I buy my subscription from:
http://www.cdkeys.com/playstation-network-psn/playstation-plus/playstation-plus-365-day-subscription

I believe what make PSN+ worth it is the free games they release every month, whilst a lot of them are old they are fun to play and total value over the year is well over £35 for the games they give away

I almost switched to PS4 as I thought it was free to play online. Glad I didn't now only because my friends stuck with Xbox.


I really don't see any difference between Xbox One and PS4 any more. Except that XBOX one now offers playback ability, something I shall unlikely ever use.

It should only ever be about which one your friends play on, and if not that - which exclusives, or which controller you prefer, does backward compatibility matter, couple of other frankly minor things.

I have wondered, could Xbox live be more social PURELY because of the mean earbuds Sony provide with their console, people not being inclined to use them. £300 plus for a console, not cheap, and they provide that load of rubbish. What were they thinking of

Oh I forgot about Halo, another reason I stuck it out with Xbox. (roll on October) Although if enough money was waved in front of them I wouldn't be surprised if Halo is eventually released for PS. Same with PS exclusives, not that I can think of any PS exclusives.

Destiny, Little Big Planet, Killzone, Infamous, Grand Turismo, Last of us and probably more. The new CoD Beta (for those who pre-order) is only available to PS users in early August and later date for PC/Xbox so it's all about paying the right price to get certain exclusivity / early access for it's users.

I stuck with PS4 as i've had PS2/PS3 so just more comfortable with it and luckily all colleagues and friends also have ps3/4.

Recore
Quantum Break

Playstation Exlcusives

Uncharted
the last of us
little big planet

I actually own both playstation 4 and the xbox one and the PS4 absolutely blows the xbox out of the water. i enjoy both but easily 90% of my gaming time is on the playstation.

Out of both lists I have literally only heard of :
Halo
Gears of War
Forza (soooooo boring)
Street fighter (I thought this died out with Saga Mega!)


Oh Mass Effect used to a be exclusive that sold to Wii and PS. I wonder if the new Mass effect:andromeda will be released on both platforms?


You have two consoles?! My fianc! would never allow me own two consoles, and thinking about it, I'm quite glad.

me and the other half play games together. probably for the best you don't own both consoles if you have never heard of some of those games. have you been living under a rock lol?

I got my one year PSN membership from Sainsburys - I had a voucher for £8 off when I spent £40, so got the PSN 1 year, and a couple of bags of sugar (from memory). Far cheaper to buy annual. Not sure it's worth it coming from PS3 to PS4 - most of the free games are worth a try but not worth paying for. I'm basically paying for network access on PS4 that I got for free on PS3. But I prefer online gaming against friends. Having said that, been playing War Thunder which is really good (and free) but is about 12GB to download. If you want to use any online features of any PS4 games you have to have PSN membership.

Well I've never owned a PS, so naturally I will be unaware of PS exclusives. Why would I browse the PS section?


As for the Xbox Exclusives I don't recognise...I don't know...I guess its because I'm becoming more and more dissatisfied with new releases of games. Like the Call of Duty series are all the same, and incredibly short, story line.


The only game I play with my fianc! is Monopoly and the occasional racing game.

My loyalty has always been with Sony when it comes to game consoles. And I think paying for PSN is worth it, I am constantly playing online.
