Really 1 ps4 game? I figured they would pump out some indie stuff or discount new games like $10

These are the free games; I'm sure there will be PS+ discounts as usual and they may include PS4 game sales.

Also, seriously? The PS4 JUST came out; they're not going to immediately give you everything the PS4 has to offer on a silver platter. It currently only has 57 items available to it in the PS store right now, including ones that are already F2P and multiple editions of the same game.

So today my toddler picked up my vita off the coffee table and dropped it about 18" on the very padded carpet and now the screen is all borked and unplayable. Are you kidding me? Luckily amazon is sending me a new one but surely this can't be a test of the durability of this machine.

I dunno... I've knocked mine off the couch arm rest several times. Could be some variation in manufacturing though

That sucks. I had a kindle die after it fell TWO FEET onto CARPET. Must just have been a really unfortunate angle it hit.

I sure hope you are at least "checking out" all of them to tied them to your account still.
I do for games that I am remotly interested in. A free game is nice, but if it is something that I know I will never play, I won't even begin the process.

I do as well. Personally, I "purchase" every game that is free, including vita which I may never own.

That is just silly. You never know what will happen in the future. Taste may change or interest peaked, or hell even having a game that someone else that is there would possibly like even if you don't. Considering you only have to hit the add to car button from the selection page and then do one actual checkout on the website store, it is rather silly.

Same, I do it even for games I own on Steam and know I'll probably never play on my PS3 due to various reasons. It doesn't hurt to have them tied to your account.

I disagree, but it is what it is. A lot of the games I have also already played or own on another system, so I am not too worried about them.

OKay, as a person who had the 360 last gen and didn't want to pay $50/year just to play multi, and now have a PS3 and PS4, I can't believe how much of a bargain PS plus is. It's honestly killer.

Since getting a PS3 just 2-3 months ago I have played Borderlands 2, Xcom, now playing Metro. If I get the chance I'll DL payday 2. And on the PS4 resogun, contrast, outlast downloaded, but I don't have the time to play it yet.

The only reason I didn't play uncharted 3 (free on PS3) was because at the time my 40 GB PS3 HD wouldn't take it. And Bioshock Infinite because I played it LESS than a year ago when it was still $60 to purchase!

If you were broke right now, get yourself a PS3 and play station plus and you'll have stuff to play.

The really strange thing is I was interested in Xcom a while back and Borderlands 2, but I didn't quite want to pay the money. it's like PS plus has read my mind and put them up there. And the same with metro last light.

Is anyone interested in me starting this back up? I wasn't sure if it was even being looked at for it to be worth the upkeep. Maybe if it gets stickied?
