[dropcap size=dropcap]T[/dropcap]hrough PlayStation Plus, Sony has managed to do something that few succeed in this industry. They managed to convince a large number of customers to pay for subscriptions to their service without receiving so many benefits. How managed they to convince millions of PlayStation Network users to contribute monthly, quarterly or annually? Simple: by offering free new games every month, games that are playable only during the subscription availability.
Therefore, PlayStation Plus may be the best choice for gaming on a budget. If you are buying a PS 3, PS 4 or a PlayStation Vita console for the first time, you should necessarily subscribe to Plus, as this decision could delay the time you have to invest in new games for a few months. At any time during subscription, you have access to more than 15 titles through the Instant Game Collection. They are all free to play for a limited amount of time but in full version.
Once the new PlayStation 4 (PS 4) console will be released, the number of Plus subscription will probably grow exponentially, as the multiplayer component of the new console will be closely related to this subscription. Consequently, those who do not pay, do not have access to online games. Because PS4 users will also receive free access to games through this service, they have no reason not to pay for it.
Recently, Sony has released a new trailer that highlights the benefits of the Playstation Plus subscription for all users of PS 4. The video provides details about the games available on PlayStation Plus on the official launch day of PS 4. It also highlights the benefits of cloud backups, automatic updates and the online multiplayer.
PlayStation 4 will be released on November 15 2013 in North America. Two weeks later, the console will also be released in Europe and Australia (November 29). See the trailer below:
