Who cares if they have better early on exclusives? I would rather the developer spend time to make the game its best. PS+ wasnt needed because Playstation users werent forced into paying money just to play online, unlike Xboxlive. It had a few advantages but it was not required.
It was definitely not required. And look at it now, it is STILL amazing. Metro last light was free. What did I see when I logged on my xbox 360? "Today Only: Metro Last light 50% off". LOL. XBL is a joke. PS+ is miles ahead.
