I assume you don't have XBL Gold either because with that, you only have access to the multiplayer part of games that you have bought as long as the subscription lasts.
Now we have the vita, psn plus might actually start to come into its own. As long as the reduced or free titles start to be ps vita compatible I might well get some use out of them. I currently don't like playing the psn only games on the ps3 as I prefer to play full major titles on the big screen. However, these titles are ideally suited to the vita. I don't like the psp minis, even though they aren't working properly anyway, but titles like Motorstorm RC and Super Stardust are excellent portable titles and I hope more are to come. The low priced psn titles are going to make or break the vita.

If (with Sony it's a big if
) they bring something brilliant to PS+ then I will re-sub but like I said it's Sony, it's probably have another free theme!!!!

OnLive or anything like that won't be passing thru my door, if that's the future then goodbye games, I can live without a controller in my hand.
i'm close to starting a subscription with PSN+ as I know it will give me enough content for a year and save me from buying too many games. I'm just waiting for the next list of free titles as this months wasn't very appealing to me.
If Sony are planning to start intergrating the Vita into PS+ and part of that is offering proper remote play, then that will certainly sweeten the deal (even though remote play should have been working by now and be free anyway!!).

If you are taking it, wait until the middle of the month so you get content from 2 months

Yep, that's also what I'm waiting for. But good info to spread around as not everyone is aware of that one.
Well my subscription is due to end on the 4th June so when should i sign up for another 3 months ideally.

Great, I noticed just cause 2 icon there so hopefully that'll come too as this is a game i've wanted to buy for a while but never got around to it.
TBH i expected this to be limited to America and us to get something like Tomb Raider for ps1 so delighted that it's coming here.
Hope the game of the month is that game that was just released thats like the last of us.
We now know that games included in the bundle are:
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD, Renegade Ops, Chime Super Deluxe, Outland and Darksiders.
The Instant Games Collection will see PS Plus members getting three full games a month this collection. All of this starts on JUne 6th.

So let’s cover all that shall we?
First of all, you’re still going to get MASSES of discounts on all kinds of stuff in Store, both Plus exclusive and extra discounts on Special offers.
You’re still going to get exclusive dynamic themes, avatars and access to beta trials – in fact we’ve got some truly fantastic betas coming before the end of the year for you.
Then, there are the games. From now on, the watchwords are more and better. More new games, more digital Blu-ray, more of the very best the PlayStation®Store can provide.
You’re getting 10 games up front and from next month, 3 of those games will change, and you’ll get at least 3 games per month thereafter.
The important thing is that whenever you decide to join PlayStation®Plus, there will be a minimum of 10 games for you to start playing right away.
So which games? Let’s go take a look. Oh and if you see a number in brackets, it’s a Metacritic score for your reference.

What about my PS one, PS2 and minis?
Based on all the feedback we’ve had from you guys over the last couple of years, we’ve decided that our subscribers would be better served by offering you more digital Blu-ray titles and top of the line PSN games, rather than scrabbling around to find a compelling PS one or minis titles. That said, if a truly awe inspiring minis title or one of the greatest PS one or PS2 titles that ever existed suddenly shows up on PS Store, you can bet your britches that we’ll secure it for you.
How come SCEA subscribers get 12 games and we only get 10?
It’s true, SCEA get two more games than SCEE subscribers up front.
However, most titles in SCEA Plus will stick around for 16 weeks before being refreshed – in SCEE we keep games for a maximum of 12 weeks, which means we rotate through more games in a full year – in fact we are committed to delivering over 45 games to you as part of your subscription before June 2013, and that’s before we factor in any extra minis or PS one titles that might show up. Additionally, any ‘PlayStation®Plus Presents’ games will be extra to the standard game rotation.
Will those 45 games include repeating games that have already been offered in Plus from the past?
As you’ve already seen, some of the games that are being provided to you may have been discounted in Plus before – we will try to keep this to a minimum. We’ve committed to offering only the absolute best games available on the PSN Store, which means meeting a minimum quality requirement. I cannot guarantee that you won’t be offered a game that has been discounted before but there will be more than enough brand new titles and games that have never been in Plus to provide you an astonishing amount of value, even if you purchased all of those discounted games previously. What we won’t do is ever offer something that’s been included as a 100% discount title before unless it’s a true ‘second-chance’ offer – that means it doesn’t count towards your total.

hmmm reading into this i'm assuming most of the content wont be available on ps vita where as before nearly everything we got was ps vita compatible. PSVita+ on the way?
I will tell you why Sony America get 12 and we get 10 because they dont give a toss about Europe, America is there bread and Butter and always will be. Im also disgusted that every member of the Audiance that watched Sonys Press Conference at E3 got a years free Subscription to Playstation Plus Service. Why do they get 1 year free and we got 1 month when the PSN went down please tell me how they can justify that and dont tell me its down to Loyalty.

you really believe everyone watching got a free years subscription? the years subscription went to the audience member not people watching on streams hence them saying take them to a sony booth and they'll swap them for your local area subscription.
You people seriously moaning about this? Free Full Games, oh no, America gets two more than, **** this? 10 Free Games a Month for £40 a year aint bad, stop acting hard done by this.
