    Reasonable price, but it would be hypocritical of me to pay for Plus nowadays.

      May I know why it would be hypocritical?

        Well I can't very well go around yelling about how

        . They've upped the price a few times now despite
        . The quality of the games on offer dropping substantially since
        . They started basically forcing you into the service with multiplayer, even though
        . It STILL doesn't run as well as Xbox Live and is regularly down, and also
        . They're gonna drop the PS3/Vita games in a year, but not drop the price accordingly

        Only to just go and buy it the second it's on sale.

        • Letrico on 02/03/2018 - 12:06

          Haha that is true. When you are only playing on PS and you got no choice to get PS+ and you can't stop complaining when they price increase or a bad month of games announced.

          Luckily the offering is slowly catching back up from the stale year.

          Hopefully they find a way to balance out the removal of ps3/vita games next year with something new. I still play my vita :(

        • mavis30551 on 02/03/2018 - 12:06

          Its not hypocritical if you need it to play online games on pS plus.

          I may not like the price of electricity but I still need electricity.

          BTW i disagree with ur points and im perfectly happy with my PS plus membership

          In March the "free" games are Bloodborne (92 metacritic) and Ratchet and Clank (85 metacritic). Those are both fantastic games.

        • zfind on 02/03/2018 - 12:22

          @goodhasgone:

          Agreed, on the whole the free games have been above average (thanks to the big hitters like the above and MGS5).

          • Price is identical to Xbox Live Gold
          • Quality of games has always fluctuated, next month looks to be the best ever
          • Yes, you need the service for online multiplayer, but again, it’s the same situation with the competition
          • I agree, Live has better infrastructure, is more reliable
          • They’re gonna drop PS3/Vita titles in a year, yes. But without backwards compatibility on PS4, how much longer should games for an 11 year old system be part of the service?
        • ozdesi on 02/03/2018 - 12:28
          +2

          @aja12: to counter your argument Xbox one supports backward compatibility with library of 360 games only increasing going forward and they include 360 games every month in Live Gold that you can play on Xbox one.

          Nothing like that exists in PSN.
          11 years old or not, games are still playable and mostly better than 8 bit indie crap that gets released on PS4.

          @ozdesi: XBOX One supports backwards compatibility and has a great XBOX 360 back catalog, too bad it doesn't have anything in the way of exclusives for this generation though. I think XBOX 360 + PS4 + Switch is the way to go.

          @Enjj0y:

          Just a clarification on your post. All Xbox 360 games you download through Gold are free to keep, regardless of subscription status. All Xbox One games you download through Gold will expire when the subscription expires. You can regain access by re-subscribing.

          All PS+ games you download will expire when the subscription expires. You can regain access by re-subscribing. No poof involved.

      Hopefully will mean better quality PS4 titles… Surely most gamers that pay for a monthly sub will have upgraded from PS3 by then, you can get a PS4 for like $250. Can see why the 8 people that still play on vita are annoyed though.

      PlayStation Plus required for online play

      • hippyhippy on 02/03/2018 - 12:20

        So is it a case that most online games require this? Or all online games?

        • fratzhaus on 02/03/2018 - 12:29

          Most. I noticed fortnite doesn't need ps+ which was interesting.

        • AngusD on 02/03/2018 - 12:48

          I think as a general rule, free-to-play games don't need PS+ to play online. They don't want to prevent people getting into those because they make their money from various in-game transactions, so the more people in there the more money they're likely to make.

          Regular kind of games that you just buy up front (COD, Battlefield, Overwatch, FIFA, etc) pretty much all need PS+.

        • Damannation on 04/03/2018 - 14:49

          Fortnite (battle royal) is treated as beta since it isn't paid for so doesn't require PS+ from my understanding.

  • customundo on 02/03/2018 - 12:13

    I'd get one if I wasn't already subscribed to 2020 as a result of the $49 annual subscription sale last year

  • AngusD on 02/03/2018 - 12:25
    +4

    While I'm generally a fan of PS+, some of the fine print on the details there is interesting. It says "get top-rated games on your PS4 every month…", then the small print down the bottom says "*Top-rated is based on a Metacritic rating of 70+".

    Last month we got Knack, if you look at metacritic, that has a rating of 54!

    • FabMan on 02/03/2018 - 12:52

      From they I'd state that ome game has to be 70+ and the rest whatever.

    • deek on 02/03/2018 - 12:53

      To be fair, last month, we also received RiME and Grand Kingdom, which have metacritic scores of 80 and 78 respectively. Thus the wording of the small print has been satisfied.

    • bulletride on 02/03/2018 - 12:54

      Well technically it doesn't imply that every game offered is top rated, last month we had Rime (80), Grand Kingdom (76) etc so bundling in rubbish like Knack doesn't make that statement any less true.

    • netsurfer on 02/03/2018 - 13:15

      Honestly, most of the good games offered so far are older games. To be fair, XB Live Gold is kind of the same. Game pass is slightly better, and the March lineup will include a launch day exclusive.

      Still have an active SEA PS+ subscription (still cheaper than the AU one even with this 25% discount: $40 AUD vs $59.95 AUD). Interestingly, Rachet & Clank was already offered free previously for SEA PS+ (so it will be interesting to find out which other game they will include instead).

    • Damannation on 04/03/2018 - 14:52

      Knack would have only made the cut as it is a PS only title so they are supporting the developers that have made PS exclusives which is only fair.

  • aibargain on 02/03/2018 - 12:26

    Could anyone clarify if the free games on offer can be still be played after the month they are offered in?

    • fratzhaus on 02/03/2018 - 12:31

      Yes, they get added to your library and are playable so long as you have an active ps+ subscription. If you end up cancelling your subscription, the same games will be available whenever you renew it, however the ps+ games that you didn't claim during the Offline period won't be available

      • aibargain on 02/03/2018 - 12:33

        Great. Thanks for the thorough answer!

      • AustriaBargain on 02/03/2018 - 13:52

        So basically you own the games for life but you can only play them with an active PS+ subscription? Like Microsoft’s games with gold.

        • AustriaBargain on 02/03/2018 - 14:38

          Oh really? That'd be good to know, there's months at a time where I don't touch the xbox live and there's no GWG games I want, but I still want to play the old GWGs offline. I know I'll touch PS+ even less than Xbox live, but I did want to buy Bloodborne anyway so..

        • AngusD on 02/03/2018 - 16:13

          @AustriaBargain: Like I said on the March Free Games post, though, if all you want is Bloodborne then you might be better off waiting for a sale. I've seen it on PSN for under $20 including the DLC. And if you buy that you can keep it forever, not just until your PS+ subscription ends. Although if you want to play online, then you'll need PS+ anyway, in which case yeah, PS+ is the way to go…

      • mostlygordon on 02/03/2018 - 15:48

        Does anyone know what will happen with PS3 downloads? Makes no sense to keep up the sub after they stop new games. Wonder if they will let you keep playing what you have without a sub???

        • netsurfer on 02/03/2018 - 17:14

          You still need a sub to play the PS3 downloads on PS3. It's just they will not offer any more PS3 games to the monthly "free" games approx. 12 months from now.

    Create a HK PSN account and you can pick up 1 Year PSN for about $50 I believe (I only did 3 months for $18 as a test)

    The bonus is all accounts on the PS4 can play online if the HK account is signed into it. So you can use your regular AU account to game online.

      Go for the SEA PSN account ($40 AUD only). Though, Rachet & Clank was free a month or two ago for SEA PSN.
      The save game mess / issue does apply if you already have AU save games for the games you get for free in another region.

    Forgive my noobness,

    I have a 12 month sub now, I just purchased it this month, so it will end like 10/02/19, if I buy this, will it stack on? The T&Cs state: "It expires 12 months from date of purchase", so I can buy it and apply it on now or apply it when my 12 months is nearly up?

    • aja12 on 02/03/2018 - 20:07

      Yes, you can stack. So if you purchase another 12 months now, it will just extend your membership by another 12 months (10/02/20 in your case).
