It's not for new members only, if you buy another year during this time you get the game too.

 

What about the other incentives though? Cause if all i'm getting is Jurassic Park I can buy that for $30 and save myself $20.

I got psn plus for 3 months, then I won another 3 months through the Subway Uncharted 3 promotion and im liking it a lot. I just got Hydrophobia, Crash Bandicoot 1,2,3 and CTR for free today too. Last month I got Costume Quest, RE1,2,3 and ALL the Uncharted 2 dlc for free. You also get some free avatars and dynamic themes. I think the discounts alone justify it really.

Well if I bought a Plus sub for a year last week, I'd be fucked

Plus is worth it for the discounts. I managed to get RE4 HD for £6 (it was meant to be 7.99 but they goofed andd put it up for 12 which with the discount was there for the plus members for 6 - that was lower than what I paid for the wii version which I thought I got for cheap at 14).

At times you get full games for free that don't expire. For instance they gave everyone plants vs zombies for free and stacking was free to keep permanently on release as well. The US one is particularly beneficial if you've got unlimted bandwidth as you have a lot more full game trials so you can download them and see if you like it or not before buying them.

I renewed this year and I know I've saved more than what I paid for in subscription purely through purchases and permanent freebies.

 

However people do whine when they don't get enough content every month. Sometimes valid, sometimes not. I don't really think the 3 month membership is great because they do have a few lean months a year and if you're unfortunate you can get stuck in one of those.

By the way, most of the free stuff is only free for the month or sometimes only until the next PSN update. Onces its gone its gone, so make sure you log in every tuesday and download everything you want, even if you dont actually download it right then and there. As long as its on your downloads list you can download it whenever you have the time.

I did exactly that with this month's games. Didn't want to download Hydrophobia right away, but at least it's been "redeemed".

 

I've been a member for less than a month and I already feel like it was absolutely worth it. I saved 10% on Code Veronica HD and I already got something like 5 free games that actually interested me.

 

Also, the feature to have your PS3 turn on on its own and download any updates, upload your saves to cloud storage and sync your trophies is just amazing. That really should be a basic feature of the PS3 and not just for Plus subscribers, but I guess they need to add as much value to it as possible if they want people to actually subscribe.

 

Kinda sucks that I missed out on free Jurassic Park by only a couple of weeks, though. :(

Now I'm tempted to grab an additional three months just for it, which would be kinda stupid...

The offer only applies if you buy a whole year. But the time stacks so if you think you'll end up renewing it anyway and you have the money there's really no reason not to do it.

Ah okay, thanks for pointing that out.

 

And yeah, I know the time stacks, but I really can't justify dropping another 50 bucks on this right now.

So, I haven't gotten around to playing JP yet, what with Skyrim and Halo: Anniversary, and Skyward Sword next week, but based on what I'm hearing I may be glad I went with this instead of just buying the game. Sounds like it's pretty terrible. Even though I spent more, at least this way I have SOMETHING to show for it.

+1! This is the best feature the service has, and it will keep me subscribed to plus. Without it, I would probably decide to stop even with all the discounted games/addons...
