    Yep. I used to like it when I just grabbed every game etc...
    I rarely have time any longer so paying an extra 50.00 for free games wasn't worth it to me.
    Then after the full realization that in a year or whatever I wouldn't have the games any longer if I stopped PLUS... just made the whole thing "blah" for me as I knew I wouldn't get to most games right away.
    Cool for the long timers though

      I agree with you Sky, but my thing in reality is, what does MS give you besides game update downloads and online play with there subscription. If MS offer what plus does in my yearly script, that's would be great, but they dont.

        Even if you don't keep the game after a year if you don't reup you still played it....

        IMO XBL and PS+ is a no contest. Both are paying, one is higher and gets you nothing other then a good gaming environment. PSN isn't as good online but gets the job done and the freebies.

          Can you get + for $35? I've never noticed sales (or headlines) on that membership.

            My problem is , no I may not have played it yet lol
            It's not a bad system, just one that doesn't suit me and is slower, speed wise.
            It's really a sort of a cheaper Gamefly but limited games to play.
            Again though, for those that are in it for the long haul it's cool.

                      You are correct sir!

                      I was surprised at how well the Clone Wars table is done. I have a blast playing it. You can't go wrong with Boba Fett either. The Empire Strikes Back is a great one, with the man in black, VADER!!

                      Worth the purchase.

                        Microsoft has really been coming through with their sales lately. I picked up El Shaddai, Dirt 2, Grid, and Resident Evil 4. I'm thinking about Bioshock too, but I'm not sure if I'd like that one too much. Good deals though.

                          Yeah is this going to be a regular thing? I think I seen more sales this year then all the years I had my 360. Maybe PS+ has them thinking?

                            Nope, it was stated it's only a once a year type sale.

                              I picked up Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe ($5), Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition ($10), Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ($20) and today picked up Virta Fighter 5 Final Showdown ($5). Great sale.

                              EDIT - Civ Rev was still on sale for $10 this morning, just got it as well. I'm so weak. Now I have a great backlog for the summer.

                                This weeks sales are only for gold. Last week wasn't.
                                Went to get Fighting Vipers but nope.
