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.

Are you a Playstation Plus subscriber? What do you think of the service, and what would entice you to re-subscribe?

PS Plus is a must.
With all the free games you get, if you're new to playstation how can you pass it up. If you've had Playstation for awhile, how can you pass up Cloud.
