PlayStation Plus is the first venture Sony is entering for an online system that is based on subscriptions. Though those of us who don't get PlayStation Plus can still engage in online multiplayer and everything, Plus subscribers will gain access to early betas, demos, discounts on games, and free trials of PSN and PSOne classics.

PlayStation Plus may cost $49.99 for a year, but it will definitely be worth its price tag if Sony can keep offering up excellent content like this first month’s smorgasbord of goodies. This month’s offering alone racks up over $88 in value when you add up all of the free or discounted content.
Here’s what is available in PlayStation Plus now:
Of course that’s not all, there’s also a new Automatic Downloading feature added to the XMB which allows you to update your firmware, or install game patches even if you aren’t in front of your PS3.
Being a PlayStation Plus subscriber also gets you a nice little “Plus” golden d-pad icon next to your PSN profile and on your friends list.
Personally, I think that PS+ is a great idea and a smart move on Sony’s part. The fact that they are not removing any capability from basic PSN users is important, basically these users will get what they have always gotten which for free is pretty darn good. I think what Sony has began to understand is that there is a subset of their user base that is more than willing to pay for extra capability and services. With the amount of money they were bringing in through items purchased in PlayStation Home and people paying for their Qore service, PlayStation Plus seems to me like a natural evolution.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

You guys have to keep your subscription active to use all this free stuff they are giving you. So lets say you buy PS+ for three months and download those free games and crap but after the three months you cant use them anymore. You have to keep your subscription active. If you have a gap between subscriptions your game will be available once again.

oh and after spending the 50 bux on this "upgrade" i got a few discounts on items in the store. ps must think i have shit tons of money cause after i bought ps+ im almost busted until i get payed again.

Do a barrel roll!
I don't really see what more they could offer you besides more 'content' which you say you don't want.
