LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

PlayStation Plus Revamp Announcement Expected At E3

Posted on Tuesday, May 29 @ 12:30:10 Eastern by Keri_Honea
 

According to Eurogamer, one of Sony's major foci for this year's E3 is a revamp of their PlayStation Plus program. The revamp will include giving members top-tier games for free and better integrating the service with the Vita. PS+ on the Vita will offer Vita-exclusives and a separate cloud-saving service just for the Vita. This way, players won't have to connect the Vita to another device to back up their data.

There is also a rumor, based off of a user survey, that Sony will offer a tiered-program for the PlayStation Plus. Each tier would cost a different additional amount on top of the $50/year fee. For example, one tier would offer 61 new top-quality games a year for $5.00 more a month. Another tier would offer 80 average and above-average games for an extra $10.00 a month. All of these games would be at least a year old, and 10 full PS3 titles would be offered each week.

I really hope Sony does not go the tiered route, as it's because of crap like that that I'm constantly looking for ways to quit my cable service. It's possible that instead of creating a tiered structure, Sony is looking for the most economic way to raise the price of the service, which is just as not cool.

    Couldn't agree more, I enjoy the service now for what it is. It gives me the opportunity to touch a B-rate game once a month (although I really enjoyed Far Cry 2) and a bunch of easily accesible Minis for my kids. It's affordable and gives me discounts. I like that. More money for games that may or may not be my style (like the month where I got Shift....blech). Don't know if I'm interested in someone at PS choosing my games for me. I'd rather just pay $20 for an old used game.

    The major problem i have with PS+ at the moment is my poor old Playstation's tiny little 80GB hard drive, every time something new comes out on PS+ i have to delete all of last months stuff or get rid of all of my old save files. I know this is more of my problem than theirs but i would love for the size of some of these game files to come down a bit, i mean Max Payne 1 on May's PS+ package was over 4GB! If o remember correctly i'm pretty sure that the file for little big planet was less than that!

    With new consoles only a couple of years around the corner i really don't want to have to shell out another £300 for a new console so i can enjoy my PS+ content for longer.
