This service is overdelivering value.

I've been pretty impressed with the games they have been throwing at me lately. Battlefield 3 is hitting the service tomorrow, so that will be a fun excuse to see what the PS3's community looks like and probably get lit up pretty badly.

Bought a Vita and PS+ and was set.

Hoping to have my PS3 in a week or 2. Instant game collection.

I'll probably be jumping onto PS+ soon. I've been dying to play Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward on the Vita and they just dropped it onto PS+ for free. Since the game is still $40 on Amazon I might as well just grab PS+ for $50.

I have to admit, it's really delivering value for what they're asking for on the PS3 (coming from me, that's a big statement). So much so they forced Microshaft into starting to offer free games for Gold members. I got tons of play outta the games that were available with the 3 months I've had free so far.

I don't like the forced part with requiring PS Plus to play PS4 games online but at least you're getting something else in value for the money you're spending

It's free until July 30th, so I'm good as long as I sign up and grab it before then.

Don't forget: any game you grab you can play forever while you still have Plus. No expiry there. I was able to re-download Golden Axe a year afterwards and replay it

Nice. I know I won't have time for a lot of the free games, but I'm going to grab them while they're up for later.

Yeah, I did that with a few of the games recently when I had my free 2 months. Knytt Underground is one I was just never able to get around to beating but I did enjoy it for the 2 or so hours I played. Heck, my kids liked watching that game :-)

Just FYI: you can go into your download history and check to see what games you've grabbed previously in case you forgotten. You can even re-download them from there
