It's been kind of slow on major games for a while (unless you always wanted to play Borderlands...I don't care much for FPS), but the past two weeks? Look, I'm broke, so I really try not to spend money on games unless I just NEED to play something...hence buying basically Rockstar and NBA 2K games only since I got a PS3.


But you're telling me if I pay just $50 a year, I'll have already played Outland, Renegade Ops, and INfamous 2 for free, replayed Infamous 1 for free, gotten Uncharted 1 + 2 in a $20 bundle, Portal 2 for $6, Borderlands, Warhammer 40K, Virtua Fighter 5 Final and Just Cause 2 for free, and NOW, in the past 2-3 weeks

you're letting me grab Resident Evil 5 for free, which I never would have played on my own because of the co-op foundation (and coincidentally as a friend dusts off his Gamecube for marathon runs of RE0-4 that I'm guiding him through?), Bioshock 2 for free (coincidentally as I'm planning to finally play Bioshock in the next few weeks) and, starting tomorrow, Street Fighter IV: Arcade for free? I haven't played a Street Fighter since II Turbo (maybe some arcade Alpha), but how am I supposed to turn down the best 2D fighter maybe ever for NO charge?


Like everyone else with PS+, or casual observers, I'm fucking amazed at what this service has turned into. My $50 in, like, March, has quickly translated to like $500-$600 in spending I didn't have to fret over. And I totally accept that I lose these games if I stop paying the fee, because even if they fall off on the big deals for a while it's already like four years before I start losing on the investment.
