    In that case, maybe they're not rewarding people, but rather selling people on the PS Store.

          Dook, the numbers explain themselves. I saw a post a while back that said something like a 50 dollar subscription last year could have netted you like 2g's worth of products and games given to subscribers.

          Me personally I got about 150 worth of games I actually played and enjoyed. Not bad. Plus the cloud storage is nice.

            What will happen to Plus accounts for those of us that aren't buying a PS4 at launch? I'm thinking of getting a year subscription, but not going to do that if Plus starts to get phased out with the PS4 launch.

              That's a good question. I think, if anything, when they switch to the "Playstation World" stuff, Plus subscriptions will be turned into those. Then again, who knows, I doubt the service just disappears for PS3, at least until several years after PS4 releases when PS3 usage drops.

                Have to agree with Burns. it seems plus has been a bit hit for Sony. Think they continue it through the next-gen. how they implement it I am not sure. I think we may found out at E3.

                  Interesting deal here in a big month gaming-wise:

                  What a start we’ve had to 2013! We here at PlayStation Network have no intention of slowing down anytime soon, and we have a great new promotion and a number of great digital titles coming your way starting next month. Starting February 26 and throughout the month of March, we’ll be offering you the chance [...]


                  Assuming this really is referring to the PS3 Show, it has me thinking about cancelling my Amazon order and going digital. $10 back off the combined cost of both, plus Star Wars Pinball this week at $9.99 is $20 back (or very close to it) and we're barely out of the gate in March.

                  God of War and Bioshock coming too in March, lots of opportunities for people to benefit from this.

                    I don't want but the show digitally but I am pissed I won't get the $10 back because I bought PS+ Saturday. Should have waited. Doh!

                        My review of Star Wars Pinball. Simply put, buy it.

                          I still find it to be amazing how great of a buy PS+ is.

                          The amount of free stuff has far and away exceeded the initial cost.

                            You'd still have to buy at full-price up front and then get the $10 kickback in April?

                            I received a $10 off coupon the other day, which I was going to apply towards PS Plus. But, if I do that, that would drop me below $50 total and thus, no $10 off for MLB The Show.

                            Although, I could use the $10 for The Show and pay full price for Plus and that would give me another $10 towards The Show.

                            My real fear is buying that game digitally. What's it going to be 12gb? Could take me 2 days to download that game.

                              No idea how that's going to work if it's a discount. But....if your code is actually just the equivalent of a $10 PSN card (redeemable anywhere in the store), it might count toward that. These promotions like this go by funds spent out of the PSN wallet, and the value of a PSN card goes into that wallet when you enter its code. The system doesn't differentiate between how the funds get there - if you put a $10 PSN code in it simply becomes $10 in the wallet, same as if you'd charged your credit card for $10.

                              What I'm getting at is that I don't think the system would be able to tell the difference if that's the case, once the wallet funds are actually put towards something.

                              As for you other concern, it's a valid one - make no mistake, The Show is going to be a big download. It can't be any smaller than 10 GB because that's what the max install size was last year, and I'm even hearing rumors of it being 20 floating around. My guess would be around 15, honestly, but we won't know for sure unless we're told or we hit March 5th and it becomes available.
