slapshot101 This is way better then Live, it is cheaper, goes across all devices and it gives good benefits.


Well xbl also gives good benefits, I think it is the same price per year, not sure though, and what do you mean goes across all devices??

-BTK- so PS4 is making people pay to get on the network?


Only for Multiplayer. Netflix, Hulu and such won't need PSN+. Also, F2P games don't need PSN+.

Oh well, I'll be switching from Xbox so it's not like paying to play online is something new to me..

-OH-NO- for all you Xbox guys i was like you "they got rid of what made it good", well not necessarily PS+ Gives you online gaming but what you guys don't know is that you also get access to a bunch of services that Xbox doesn't offer. also with PS+ you get 1 free game every month and access to the PS+ games that have already been released overtime and there is a ton of PS+ games, so overall PS+ is a better service than Xbox Live Gold, and thus why i'm still going From the Xbox 360 to the PS4


You do know that Xbox is getting 2 free games a month, while your PS+ is only getting 1?

Congrats, you're getting Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed 2! Wohoo, totally worth that 65 a year right! I bet. /s/

Well since I get my live for free it is always worth it :P


lol well those are just 2 of the multiple we will get plus those are great games and they have started off with fable 3 for free



That's only for Xbox 360 that's all. And there only doing it until the release of the Xbox one and then they will stop it.

Sony announced that you will NOT need PSN+ for F2P games or MMORPGs. Sony just keeps improving their console.
