M thinking of going into it, but I am not an ONLINE player myself....and it's best for user's who buy stuff on PSN Store....and are spending around 30$ to 50$ annually on DLC / PSN games......May be I will wait n see

Also sadly my default PSN id is from INDIA....so always will have to switch to US / UAE account.....dunno...but doesn't sound interesting.....to me...

Mate...totally agree with you....with the benefits, and PS+ is 10x better than 360 Gold :bleh: i.e. you get your money's worth, but still it will be there wid u only until ur PS+ service is active, otherwise, it's a goner....

only the mini's,psn,ps1 classic
