That doesn't make my pretzel any less tasty.
Maybe it's still $40 in stores, but I think it went down to $20 on PSN recently. Also, Delta is on the horizon, so the vanilla game will be obsolete soon. Also, the game is pretty gay and crappy. The only people forcing themselves into it are those trying to use it as a Monster Hunter surrogate.
The point is, the Games with Gold program was created in response to what Sony is doing with PS+ that consumers are loving, but it's WAAAY worse. If given the choice between shitty free game or no free game I still take the free game, but I wish the 360 program was as good as the PS3 (and 4 and Vita) program.
I like how you're still trying to explain something that everyone already understood.
I'm gonna let you finish, but Tekken Tag Tournament is one of the top 10 games of all time
The thing is that Xbox Live wasn't initially built for giving away free games, it was for it's various gaming/entertainment services.
Free* game giveaways was a program Sony started relatively recently as a big incentive for joining their service and they've done a great job getting people aboard on that which also benefits the gamer who doesn't have a huge budget for games but:
A) With rare exceptions I tend to buy multiplatform games on the 360 on the cheap anyway for various reasons (Better controller, achievements, usually better non PC ports)
B) I'm not going to subscribe to two different services
C) I play fighting/shooting and other multiplayer games mainly on Live with you guys
Gold also does the weekly discounts on digital games so that's another benefit although I could definitely do without the apps behind the paywall shit. I haven't turned on my PS3 in months due to working through my backlog of 360 games on top of working on achievements through single and multi-player so it'll be a while before I get back to my PS3.
I am personally not loving PS+. The only parts of PS+ that interests me are the discounts on games I can actually purchase for reals, and that's something Live has done on a weekly basis for years and years.
But that's just me.
