Looking at PSN+ features, I don't see anything enticing. Is more planned for PSN+? There are two things that would get me to pay for it:

1) Hulu included with sub
2) Netflix on the XMB
 
I'll be signing up as soon as I get home, I spend loads on psn games and dlc so the discounts will easily pay for my yearly membership.
 
Will download this tonight after work. The only thing as of now that would get me to sign up for PSN+ would be a big enough discount on the Store. I do buy a lot of PSN games and the occasional bit of DLC.

Other than that the service seems pretty lame still and I'll probably just stick with the free version.
 
I updated and scolling the xmb seem so much smoother but that is it other than the PSN+ stuff

After years of offering a totally free online experience, Sony has announced an add-on subscription service to the PlayStation Network called PlayStation Plus.

All the current features of a standard PlayStation Network membership will continue uninterrupted; PlayStation Plus will work as a premium service, allowing PS3 owners early access to certain game demos, discounts, digital content, automatic updates, and other perks like the PlayStation lifestyle series Qore.

PlayStation Plus will cost $50 a year or $18 for three months. All content from PlayStation Plus is only usable during the length of the subscription, so users won't have access to it after that time period is up.

Plus will launch later this month and will allow PS3 owners a free three-month taste of the service.

Nothing good as a bonus right now, I guess I'll wait to see what new stuff they will give out for plus members. And remember to turn off auto renewal, if you don't want to keep charging after 3 months.
 
I signed up last night, Age of zombies looks like It might get alot of my time.
Heres hoping that sony keeps adding features and freebies.

Yeah this launch was terrible. They really should have put up something compelling for new PSN+ members. I was ready to sign up day one, browsed through the current PSN+ benefits, and lost all interest for now.
 
i signed up, if your a eu us you get a pretty good deal:
little big planet full download
wipeout hd
age of zombies
destruction derby
killzone 2 map packs
warhawk map pack
some dynamic themes
discounts on other games/dlc
etc etc

you get your first years subscription paid off in games straight away lol, my only problem was that i already had the killzone and warhawk map packs....bummer but still chuffed!


not looked at the rest of the stuff yet
 
Downloaded the firmware, signed up for PS+ and downloaded Joe Danger.

Joe Danger is awesome, the rest is meh... for now.

So, $15 well spent and $50 dollars, well, spent.
 
signed up for +. Didnt get anything. Where is the LPB download? All i saw was some freebies of shit i already own and a 29.99 infamous with no discount.
 
I signed up for it just for the hell of it...and for the special free 3 months.
Doesn't seem like much so far, but I did like the free theme. The Infamous download's a cool idea and I'd like to see that concept get fleshed out more. Interesting idea. I justified it considering I've dropped $50 at a random bar and came away with nothing...and this lasts a year :p

Yeah, I know people have an issue with paying for it but I look at it this way. I just spent 25 on a bottle of vodka that will last me like 3 days. Like you said, this is for a year. and they give you free games as well.
Im curious, if you buy psn+ under american account and switch to a eu account, can you get the eu stuff to. I still haven't seen if it psn for whole system or just for user id like xbox. I know ive missed that somewhere. I assume its just linked to one user id
