Is PS plus  worth it.  Depends what you are looking for.  For me, it is a bad deal any way I look at it.  You have to understand that they are not giving free games away.  It is a RENTAL service. If you stop paying, you stop playing.

The discounts on the other hand can be nice, but half the time i already owned the game or it is a game that does not intrest me.

I know its a rental, but I don't mind. I stop playing most games some months after I buy them so a year seems like enough time. 

As for the discounts, I rarely buy anything digitally because of my tiny memory space, and as I said I dont plan on buying another memory card until they discount them. I was planing on getting one game at a time, then once Im finished with it, delete it and get another one. What I mean is, is it worth getting it now and getting 3 free months or should I wait till they discount the memory cards? (or until I realize they wont discount them and buy one of them at actual price)

I'd say go for it. 15 months x 3 games a month = Worth it? The initial batch of games was great, since then it's been hit or miss but generally you'll have something worthwhile to play. You can always "Purchase" the games and download them at your leisure after you beat the current one. I'm sure they won't always be retail Vita games which makes sense of course,  whos going to buy games for a system when you can get them all for a yearly fee right? You don't have much to lose aside from the money to buy three or so games instead of a yearly supply.

I think it's a great investment. Remember that as long as you download any of the free games, you can delete it and download again at any time as long as you're still subscribed. Sometimes I do this just incase I may want to play a game at a later date or if there is something friend's might want to play when they come over. A good example is NBA Jam.

It doesn't take long for your $50 to be returned in content or discounts.

Umm  Im new here i got refer by friend here Ps Plus is really worth it I got 3 years of membership till 2015 paid 2 years and got 6 free months Costed me like $100 and i got all the games i need and got $150 funds account limit But lets see if its worth it or not for me..

there like 6 free games on PS Plus and there really good 3 games which will cost me 100+ if i bought them from store, But i got them for free from ps plus i know they has exp date but how long ? 3 years? and i redownload them whenever i need and i will get more games later and more discount on games well if u want to get ps plus get 1 year and get 3 more months or be crazy like me and get 2 years and u will find u got good deal of 30 months membership 

BUT WE NEED MORE GAMES I SPEND OVER $1100 on my ps vita and i think we still need more epic games. Yes i only played 1 game so far but i like to have lots of options :d

Q - My English sucks?

A - Yes I know

Oh it's totally worth it.

To me the cloud save automatic sync on PS3 and Vita pays for the service.  I'm on my third PS3 (this one a brand new slim after my refurb 60GB died) and I bought Plus just before my first one croaked which totally saved my save data from being lost.

Vita cloud save backup is a big plus for me, as is automtaic trophy sync and downloading of patches and the like while I am doing more important things at 3am like sleeping.

The free games on Vita so far have been great, but your mileage will vary.  There are lots of PS3 Plus games that I don't really care at all about and I've tagged them all for my download queue, and had lots of them on hand for friends to try at a gaming party recently.

Even though I've bought some games before they got discounted, I don't feel bad.  With the discounts I find myself definitely buying more games than I would otherwise have because I want to play them at some point and they are discounted now.  Sony wins, the developer wins, and hey I win because that moment when I want to have some mayhem in Retro City Rampage instead of sliding gems in Treasures of Montezuma Blitz I can just fire that up instead.  Or maybe die quickly again in Big Sky Infinity.  Or maybe try to defeat that boss again in Gravity Rush I'm stuck on.  It's all there and hey if I don't play it today or tomorrow I don't feel bad.

So stop worrying, pony up for the big memory card, and get Plus. You won't regret it.

Okay, now I want to make it clearer. Is PS+ worth it if I already have bought some of the games I could get for free? (I have gravity rush and half of the PS3 ones), also I wont consider selling them because no one i know where I live owns a vita besides me.
