Jack Buser, senior director of PlayStation Digital Platforms speaking to You must login or register to view this content., said that "we are extremely proud of the number," but wouldn't reveal just how many people subscribe to Playstation Plus. "We don't share that number."

  • 13 million: The number of hours of play-time that games in Plus' Instant Game Collection (the batch of free games offered to Plus subscribers) in the two months after the IGC was launched in early June.
  • 12 million: The number of Trophies players unlocked in Instant Game Collection games in those two months.
  • 93%: The percentage of players who intend to renew the service, according to a Sony survey (as long you renew Plus, you keep access to the games in the IGC; if you cancel, you lose access).
  • 97%: the percentage of Plus users who tell Sony's survey-takers that they're extremely happy with the survey (ticking one of the top two boxes, or options, when answering how happy they are with the service). Sony says this is up 50% over a prior survey, from presumably before the IGC began.

In other related news, Playstation Plus will be available for the Playstation Vita later this year, at no added cost for current subscribers.

PS+ has come a long way. If I was still a heavy gamer I would definitely invest.

Instant Game Collection is the only thing PS+ has going for it. Every "discount" is available to non-plus users eventually in the form of price drops or weekly PSN sales. Everything else it offers is just fluff. Sony is laughing all the way to the bank.

Ps+ is great for people who only play like one or two games eg COD and PS+ gets you into a whole more games foe £30 a year!

The hat had won. No longer was it to be so high off the ground. It had discovered an ancient technique of lowering itself. As lowering it felt great satisfaction. A satisfaction that when it did finally drop off of its owners head, that the fall wouldn't hurt as much. The owner realizing this decided to congratulate the hat on its victory. The owner shouted one word. "Yeah." And with that the hat decided its life was complete.
