Its the gaming equivalent of netflix. More content is added regularly, but you stop paying and its not yours anymore to watch/use.
Personally i prefer the model of ps+ for games as the quality is so much better, and i don't mind not owning them. |

There's an often big mistake regarding PS+, people say it's just a rental service but Sony DO give you free games to keep even after sub ends, it's their yearly cycle ones.
So currently it's Uncharted 3, LBP Karting and XCOM: Enemy Unknown are this years free games to keep. Last years was LBP2, InFAMOUS 2 and something else. |

Anyone know what we can expect from Games with Gold in October? I have heard that Halo 3 is confirmed but I was on a US site so don't know if the same is true for Europe/UK?
Particularly interested to see what is to come from Games for Gold in it's last few months as it would help me decide whether to renew my Gold sub (it ends about end of Oct, so I'd probably get Octobers games) as I'm not getting XBone, hardly play 360 online and though I do use the Lovefilm and Now TV apps, I could just as easily use them on PC or PS3 so I don't know if another year of gold would give me much VFM TBH. |

That's a really poor offering from MS considering PS+ is giving away Far Cry 3 this week.
Besides the game is said to be good isn't it? |

That's the difference between a rental and a genuine free gift.

Free gifts that end when the Xbox one comes out isn't it?

That's one thing I would say Games for Gold actually did better than PS Plus IMO is offering a balance of full retail games (albeit old ones) and Live Arcade games. With PS Plus they stopped offering free indie and Live Arcade style games over a year ago and just focused on full retail style games, which does grab more attention and technically gives more for the money, so I can see why they did it, but I like a mix of titles as the shorter games are good for a quick blast, which is rarely possible with the complexity of full retail games these days. |

I've got both gold & PS+ .... Sonys offerings are 1000000x better ... You'd have 2 be completely insane (or a deluded Micro$oft fanboy) to think otherwise!!!

I personally loved Halo 3 and especially it's add-on campaign ODST, I never bothered much with multiplayer but played through the campaign a number of times. Nice that it's free but who doesn't already own it?

![]() Out of all the games offered so far I think only 2 of them I didn't own and they were Defence Grid and Magic 2013 (and Rainbow 6 Vegas but I didn't even bother with that lol). Dead Rising 2/Case Zero has probably been the best deal so far as less people have probably played it and it's pure quality. |

I already have Halo 3 so I guess at least I can put my boxed copy on eBay and make a few bob. My gold sub is ending before November but just don't feel it's worth me renewing. Was hoping I could get a good deal on a 12 month renewal but if anything the prices seem to be creeping back up again, presumably with xmas slowly approaching and the XBone coming next month.
Last time I got a good deal on a 14 month pack but these seem to be almost none existent now ): guess they figured they were giving too much away. |

Dead Rising 2 is the only games I'll be keeping from the free games so far and maybe Fable.
Played Crackdown but deleted it the minute finished. Laughable that when I went to some cheallage points in the game and it asked me to buy the dlc I got Halo 3 bundled with my first 360 years ago. It bored me then so I wont be bothering with that now. |

Halo 3 is a fantastic game. It's a shame the games are extremely old and cheap...can buy this for £2 on ebay. How about having us vote on what they feel is the best game for GWG, then give us that game instead of just throwing the dumpster games at us. Not necessarily brand new titles, but within the last 1-2 years, like Hitman: Absolution, Saints Row 3 or Halo 4?
