Well just wait a few months and you'll get to see first hand.

;O;O;O;O

Don't worry, they're releasing a new system around that date. I think it's called something along the lines of "Pls Undrstnd 128" or something. ;O;

In HD and with an internal HDD option. Then you can understand straight from the HDD ;o;

"In something that happens very rarely, the PlayStation Vita beat the Nintendo 3DS last week in Japan for hardware sales, with Sony’s handheld moving 24,078 units, while both 3DS SKUs moved 23,562 units. The PlayStation Vita can attribute this win to dropping 3DS sales due to no big new releases, with the Vita also receiving 3rd Robot Wars Z: Jigoku Hen, which debuted in 2nd with over 128,000 in sales."

I think people are just holding off buying a 3DS because of this more than anything else (probably better to wait and get free games than buy a system now) and waste more money), but I could be wrong. *Shrugs*

Free games, eh? Sounds like a good dealio.

Free Games?! Boy howdy do I like free games! If only there was a service that have me free games every month! Gee that'd be swell.

Is "piracy" a service?

Anywhoo, "free" games rule.

Ok, they're not free games, they're 99% off games that you pay for when you buy the subscription If you buy a year of PS+ for $50, and on average each month you get 6 games, it's like $0.70 per game

Ok, they're not free games

Exactly

 

[Foxi4]

Exactly

They're free games which you receive as a part of a paid service, and they're not its only element. Alongside Instant Game Collection Plus subscribers also get early access to betas and demos, exclusive avatars and misc. junk and price cuts. You're paying for the PSPlus service, not Instant Game Collection, so there. If you are given a free moped, it's free and the fact that you have to pay for fuel to use it doesn't change that - the two items are entirely separate.

Give or take arcades why was it ever below?

 

[Foxi4]

Give or take arcades why was it ever below?

Mostly because people (used to?) prefer the painless, cost-effective, plug-and-play console solution. Steam somewhat flipped the tables here though and since PC's are practically a necessity in this day and age and they're cheaper than ever, the balance is shifting.

You could also say you're paying for the games and getting free online services with them.
Can you get the games without paying anything? No. Therefore, they are not free. They are part of the whole package that you pay for.

The option to get them is a part of the package, nobody forces you to claim anything from the Instant Game Collection menu, it's just common sense to do so. I see your point though, at the end of the day you do pay for the service, so you do have to dish some money out.

Nobody forces you to go online after you've downloaded the monthly games, either
It's like believing mobile phone companies when they say the phone you get with a two year subscription is "free". It's really not.
