5.0 out of 5 starsVery good deal overall, especially if you have a Vita

If you were on a budget you could just pay for this membership and play the many games that comes with it and not be without games. They add a lot of good games (I find for me I find something interesting every few months) to the point I have a huge backlog now and am starting to worry if I'm going to fill up my PS3's hard drive (I've only been a member 5 months now). Also, you will always have access to any "free" games you download on PS+ as long as you are a member. So if you need to stop paying for a while (and aren't playing the games), you can pick PS+ up later and get access again to all the games you downloaded before under PS+. Think of it like Netflix but you get to play the games offline as well, no internet required to play the games you get (just internet required to obtain them and probably also every time when your sub runs out you'll need to connect once to let the game license know you are good for another year or so <- you can stack years).
Also, if you have a Vita, I really can't stress that you really should subscribe. It seems that a lot of the best Vita games make it onto this membership (I've gotten Gravity Rush, Wipe Out, Uncharted, Rayman Origins all on it and that's just the Vita specific games, not even including the PSP games like GTA Tales of Liberty City. And I know Persona was on it at one time as well as Assassin's Creed). Bad side of being a PS+ member when you have a Vita? You're going to want a large memory card of which those are super overpriced :(. But if you wait good deals come around (well at least deals that make the cards more reasonable). Like I just picked up a 32 GB for 40 bux.
Also, the cloud storage saves is really nice to have and you can get some really good discounts (FF XIV was half off when I wrote this review on both the regular and special edition) on digital games. Plus sometimes you get to play beta trials (I discovered Killzone for the Vita through the beta trial I could participate in as a PS+ membership).
It's sad that Sony will not allow MP without PS+ on PS4, but the fact that they offer so much for it that I got this before they even announced that (and I'm a cheapskate and usually don't go for these kind of services) has me not caring too much. I already have PS+ for stuff Sony actually offers me extra so it doesn't feel like I'm being cajoled into paying rather than them offering me a good value to join.
