If you have been wondering if PlayStation Plus is worth the $50 per year, you’ll be happy to know that the first month of the service is offering subscribers a value well above the asking price. Not to mention PlayStation Plus brings some interesting new features to the PS3.
PlayStation Plus may cost $49.99 for a year, but it will definitely be worth its price tag if Sony can keep offering up excellent content like this first month’s smorgasbord of goodies. This month’s offering alone racks up over $88 in value when you add up all of the free or discounted content.
