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.

From free games on PS+ i only downloaded 4 of them. Even with that little amount of played content, subscription payed off already!

I personally love it myself. Have tried quite a few games I normally wouldn't have bought and have enjoyed them quite a bit. The cloud storage is a great addition to have plus on the discounts just make it really worth it.

I am error
I have had PS+ since day one. And the first 3 or 4 months were pretty slow for me because I have always spent more on the store than I did on retail titles. But since then. The content plus the discounts make PS+ one of the best bangs for the buck out there. I don't see myself ever getting rid of the service. And if you spend a decent amount of money on the store, chances are you will probably end up saving money switching to plus. I highly recommend it to all my friends and coworkers.

Playstation plus is awesome, it gives you free games that are somewhat good. 60 dollars a year, for how many free games, it saves me so much money.
