Everything is great, however the pay to play online is really ticking me off. But geez Sony really killed MS. I mean really rubbed it in.
 
I'm left kind of speechless. The price is great, the games were great. Hell, the only negative thus far, is that you will have to pay to play online. And even then, we at least get full games for no additional cost by doing so.

I'm hyped.
 
If Microsoft is going to be the only one of the three do be doing this stuff...


That's a scary place to be.

I feel the conference was half assed on the game side and I think they felt as if they didn't have to say much about them. Basically, all Sony had to say is that there was no DRM. It was quite boring.

So I take it that $5 a month. That is just over £3 a month.

In other terms that is a return bus ticket for a 3 mile journey.

Or a pint of beer.

I will hardly notice it.

Its really a no win though. You pay with multiplayer on MS as well and isn't XBL now the same price as PS+? Makes it a wash.



Which is up less than $1 a month if you average out the costs from PS+ for PS3. Might as well just renew and buy extra.

That's why I'm thinking of opting out of consoles for a while. I'm tired of having to pay to interact with my friends.

Seriously. "No DRM" media/social media ****storm.
 
I see it like this, Sony had to charge for online to keep the publishers happy. To combat any DRM tactic they would try to apply.

You do not need PS+ to use Netflix or any online video service. However you do need PS+ to paly Free to play games. PS+ was worth it before it included Driveclub PS+ edition.

How much is it for new plus then? I thought I saw $5 a month. Is that right?

Edit I guess it is.

It used to be $6
 
5$ a month is the official price! Remember, we had mostly cheap membership prices for PSN+ on Amazon. I remember a 1 year membership for 35€ here in germany. And also, you will get 1 free game each month. It´s already worth to buy it now, you get Uncharted 3 for free (in Europe)!! and much more great games!

And 399€! Come on, it´s a dream! First day buy!

Yes seriously. If Sony's conference, which directly targeted most every single thing that people wanted direct answers for going into it (aside from tech specs), was half-assed; then Microsoft had their ass surgically removed because they avoided all of it.

It'll end up at the same price as XBL Gold, basically. Which is fine by me.
 
That's pretty cheesy from Sony, they get the fanboys going ape but don't mention you have to pay for online now :lol:.

The way they've made a point I think MS may back down a lot.

One problem for the US is how can PSN compete with Xbox Live, Sony had their big chance to show off how much more inviting and well designed PSN will be but they do nothing. Many find it a bleak place.

I hope they have something worth paying for as I think Europe is more forget paying for online attitude but US is more willing to pay.

I'm buying both.

I win.

Me too. The games for the One are too strong to miss out on. However the low price and no DRM bs allures me on the Sony side. Plus, I wanna play the Final fantasy's, Kingdom Hearts, inFAMOUS" Second Son, and the other PS4 exclusives. Gonna have to save save save.
 
No DRM is no DRM.

You would have to be retarded to keep a massive game library of games at full price. Then again, retarded people do have money, so more power to them. I know I'll be expending my money is something more accessible and simple than the overly restricted, overly tied Xbox One.

I was waiting to see more of the interface and the more ways you could interact with the console.

£5-ish a month would be a more than comfortable amount to pay monthly. Hopefully there will be more incentives to do so too.

The February conference covered enough of those bases I reckon.

Those rose colored glasses look great on you....I think????
 
I got a 360 first because it was cheaper, then I got a PS3 later when it was also pretty cheap. Looks like I'll be doing it the other way around this time.

haitch40
It was meant to show how insignificant the money is rather than complaining. :lol:

I know, just clarifying I guess.

ahh, well they decreased the price of PS+ at the sacrifice of keeping multiplayer free it seems. should've just kept it $15 and kept online free.

if this is true, they better not require PS+ to use stuff like Netflix though.
Click to expand...


The price hasn't changed, it's $60USD per year for PS+, they just cut it down to $5 per Month

Considering your getting Drive Club (PS+ Edition....wait to see what that means) it's damn good value. It's a bit of a shame though dropping free online multiplayer, some people only play one or two games on their consoles, so aren't so interested in the extra features PS+ gives.

Andy House also said that the extra services don't require PS+ to use. So if you just play single player games and use netflix, you won't need PS+.

I'm sorry, are you inferring that I'm retarded because I can afford both systems?

Ironically I did the very same thing that you did back in 2007 and it looks like I'll be doing the very same thing this time around.

Nice Job Sony! 👍
 
I was expecting War Thunder to be shown to be honest but then I guess there is always Gamescom.

It's a massive plus to be able to afford these two consoles. You're getting the best of both worlds.
