Sony doesn't require any subscription for apps.

I'm pretty sure it is a typo. Major Nelson is pretty prone to typos on his Twitter.

Let's see if they're actual worthwhile/recent games.
It's a good move to continue what they started at the very end of the 360 generation with the XB1...I hope they give valuable titles away with this deal!

Getting worse? Get outta town. PS+ is just getting better. My library of 100+ free games is growing every week.
Yeah, should have just waited until they were closer to rolling it out. They would have avoided some negativity.
Eh, hopefully it's better than the ham-fisted attempt they have going on now.
I really think they created a new position for which the sole purpose of is to have an employee go out to Big Lots, check the discount games bin, find the 360 game which has the most copies left, then report back to Microsoft to have it put on for free.

Seriously great news. I may have to splurge for Gold when I pick up my Xbone after all.
LOL, that's no different than needing a Netflix or a Hulu subscription to use them. You certainly don't need PS+ to use Music Unlimited.

Just the fact that ms is giving you games and not "renting" them out, makes it a better value to me. Sweetness!
Yup.

If by getting worse you mean
Beefing up the PSN network hardware
Contracting more servers
Improving the online store
Improve the UI
Include better games
I see your point.
That is the point I was trying to make, competition is going to make the companies adopt each others successful features and policies

How is it getting better if i'm not able to download PS4 games from the web store whil also reducing the number of PS3 games available for PS3 only gamers?
All the PS4 pre-orders must have gotten to their heads,that's what i say.

How is that "worse'? PS+ is better than ever, we just got Dragon's Dogma, and Resogun + Contrast for PS4. Not to mention Soul Sacrifice for the Vita? It's been one of the best months.
They will be Xbox One games so no. I do wonder what they will do though. Maybe XBLA games?

Agree. I'm all down for others adopting ideas that should be a standard in this day and age.
No, games on gold you keep forever.

It makes sense though. Sony has to pay for ever download so people downloading games who don't have a PS4 are just costing them money. It's pretty logical if you ask me, want PS4 Plus games, get a Ps4.

Yeah you get 3 year old games that are 5$ in the bargain bin. I rather rent games that came out this year.
Takes some time to get a program like this rolling.
Sure, Sony is Doing it Day 1 but they've had this PS+ thing going on for a while. Ya know, kinda like how Sony just now will have party chat and joining from freinds list while MS has been doing it for years. This is just how improvement due to completetion works.
Now stop putting Netflix etc behind a paywall and you will be the getting there.

Perfect. Now all we need is them to give us games we can keep so Sony can follow suit. I love competition!

General consensus is he was talking about in the PS3/Vita store, but the web store would have everything. You can buy games and download them to your console with the phone app, right? The phone app doesn't have a built-in store, it opens the website. So I wouldn't worry about it.
This is great news for Live users, though!
So was I the only one who saw "details coming later" and "in 2014" as separate, instead of "later in 2014"? I think it's kind of wacky to announce something that early when the announcement is kind of a "hey it's happening" sort of thing.
I think the official announcement will happen later (as in, some time after launch), and in 2014, but not in, say, November 2014.

They must really be getting worried to be pulling this out of the hat already... well... to be announcing it already.
Not worried enough to drop paywalled apps though it seems.

Thank god for competition, good move by MS
I see it as people attempting to take advantage of PS+ to stock-pile games while not even owning the system in question. Sony probably has to pay per download of the game to whatever company made the game. Allowing every PS+ subscriber add it to their queue over PC or PS3's store interface would force Sony to pay a PS4 game creator money, even if that subscriber won't even be playing the game until someday when they buy a PS4...
I can see why they made that move.
Pretty sure Microsoft will do the same thing to make it so that someone who does not own an XBO can't just get the free game without demonstrating that they can play it on a console they own.

This is why we need TWO consoles in the console space.
If either MS or Sony annihilates the competition...BOHICA time!

So owning 3 year old games are better than "renting" 6 month old ones? And you get deep discounts with PS plus, you serious?

Great to see. Glad this is getting carried forward.
Nothing better than free games!

Glad they are adding some competition. Will be interesting to see what games they add though considering the 360 offerings thus far.
You funny.
