[quote name='ssjmichael']Do you know how the subscription will work? Because I'm guessing you don't. Can you guarantee that if 2 months pass by and you re-sign with PSN+ that those games aren't also re-activated? No? Oh okay then.
Also please explain this to me. How does Sony stop people from getting at least $30-$40 worth of games and other stuff for $17.99? If someone was interested in buying Wipeout HD and those PS1 games being given away for free, then it would be much cheaper to get them by signing up for a 3 month sub. People will obviously do this whenever they see a game they want that's cheaper by subscribing. Do you honestly think it makes sense for Sony to make it so easy to exploit their subscription service just to take advantage of those select months when they have great offers? It wouldn't make any sense from a business perspective.
It's easy to bitch, but there's very little thinking involved when you do.[/QUOTE]
Exploit? If anything, charging over $5($7 max) for ANY of the games on the PS Store is exploitation. Most of them are at best games that could be duplicated on any of a number of FREE flash game sites any day of the week.
Even the more expensive ones(Socom Confrontation, Siren: Blood Curse, etc) are available cheaper and in disc format if you look hard enough.
But there's obviously a reason why all of these titles are still available on PSN and that reason is that like PT Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute.
I know that I would never pay $30-40 for downloadable versions of games when just by looking around I could find a deal on a disc version(if available), but there are people who would. Good for them. They have the money to throw around on items with no way to recoup even a portion of that cost if they don't like them.
The subscription would ONLY be worth it if the games you get free during the subscription are able to be kept and not locked out or made unusable until you re-subscribe.
Like someone else said, when you subscribe to a magazine, does the publisher come to your house after your subscription lapses and takes back the issues you've already received and read? No? Well then why take back the content you've already paid for during a paid PSN subscription?

Oh how I wish the firmware update would be OPTIONAL, since I have no desire whatso
inever to subscribe to some bullshit paid PSN garbage. But unfortunately I know it's gonna be an across the board thing, like always.
Hopefully since it's the 22nd as of now they have this crap up so I can download it now and not be bothered tonight when I'm gonna be playing Transformers: War For Cybertron.
