Want to Know What PlayStation Plus Subscribers Get for August and September?

Hey, $50 a year? That sounds familiar! But on the PS3, you don’t have to pay that if you don’t want to. Why? Because it says “Plus,” which signifies “more”. What kind of more you ask? Well, 4 free games each month, discounts on games, free trails, avatars, themes, and the like.

But hey, that probably won’t sell it for ya, because you’re skeptic. Unfortunately, those free games? You can only keep them for as long as you’re subscribed, bummer. Look on the bright side: if you purchase a year (that’s 12 months!) subscription now, you’ll be getting 3 months additionally – for free! Plenty of time to beat those games.

Want to know what types of neat-o things you’ll be getting?

And if you’re looking more into what the US PlayStation Plus members are getting, check it out over here and here, they seem to update with the PlayStation Store Updates.

And they also get a lot more discounts and full games, etc. So if you live in the states, the $50/year deal is looking like a Great deal.

So maybe you’re still not sold, but if I happen to just run across an extra $50, I’ll try it out.
