Well, after 2 years of saying no, I've finally gone and signed up. The £30 offer, plus the instant collection, plus the forthcoming Vita content makes it exceptional value now.
It helps that I have a bigger HDD now too.
I am going to have to cough up for a bigger Vita memory card though.
I am finding my enjoyment of Resident Evil 5 all over the place, I really enjoyed some of it, other parts are just terrible. The game has too many bosses and the controls are awful.
I did like the fact this is one of the few games this generation in which you have real ammo management and are constantly in need of more ammo.
And now I have started opening up a lot more guns and infinite ammo its starting to be a bit more fun.
But the whole things feels a bit "been there done that" and has a distinct last generation feel to the levels and controls. I enjoyed some of the earlier sections in the African villages to the Oil Fields but once the game goes into under ground passages and concrete corridors I started losing interest.

The inventory system has to one of the worst designs i have ever seen in a game, why is a case of handgun bullets the same size as an egg which is the same size as an RPG, the item management is the worst part of the game
Definitely a good game in single player. Quite tactical, with open combat areas and good range of skills/weapons at your disposal. I did find that the enemy AI was a bit cheat-y but it is an enjoyable game.
I found the mulitplayer teethgrindingly frustrating - but I will give it another go.
From what I've played of All 4 One, it's one of those games that can be played alone, but is far more fun played multiplayer. They also mentioned in some of the comments on the PS Blog that details about PS+ on Vita is coming this week.
Since the vita plus is going to be part of the existing PS Plus sub meaning we get even more free stuff for the same price
i honestly would be happy for the first few months if we just got PSP and PS1 Classic with an occasional PSN PS Vita game, i'm not expecting any full games for the Vita when its added
yeah its not a bad problem. For me personally, if I have too many games I dont give them the full attention they deserve and drift too much, but yeah, overall its not a totally bad problem LOL

This is essentially my 'concern' with the Plus thing. It's become somewhat bloated for me, too much of a good thing. Consequently I've offed it and enjoy the 'lighter' gaming approach far more. But tbh that's always been my gaming ethos anyway.
I've intentionally only tackled one or two games at a time though. Completed Infamous 2 before moving on, then Darksiders, then Saints Row 2, now Borderlands. Several of the games on there I've simply not touched yet - Dead Space 2, RDR, Just Cause 2, Resi 5, Bulletstorm etc. - but will do in time. Just a matter of discipline, I'd love to break into RDR straight away but I won't until I'm done with Borderlands.
I'm starting to get worried i might forget what games i've gotten from Plus as i'm ran out of space and i'm just getting the games on my download list and then leaving them
It feels like its only a matter before i think i've spied a nice bargain only to get home and see it already on my PS3
I might have to write a list on my laptop and check it every time i think about getting a game
Vita conent/ service is due to be announced this week.
Difficult to see what they are going to do with it really. The software library is pretty small, so they will run out of games to offer PDQ. I guess PS1, PSP, Minis or PSM games might feature. Which would be okay I guess.
I play my games like mojobrew, one at a time as I find I get far more enjoyment out of the games, this results in a back log of PS+ games I need to play which is nice. For me PS+ has basically replaced going to town and gambling on a bundle of cheap used games.

I have only played a bit of this but did enjoy it. Looking forward to having another go on it this week.
That said, it is by far the weakest Ratchet & Clank game (until Q force is realeased, which I have some reservations about after the beta.)”
Good to here I can still play it without someone else if I cannot find someone to join me. I guess I could always play with randoms online anyway.
I had heard it was a pretty poor Ratchet game, but I like the universe and characters so I will likely get some enjoyment from this.
