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.

Are you a Playstation Plus subscriber? What do you think of the service, and what would entice you to re-subscribe?
I have to say that PS + is worth it. I managed to pick up a years subscription for £30 from HMV (usual price is £40). The amount of content you get is just awesome.
