Yes, PlayStation Plus is worth it. A good portion of the GA Staff subscribers, and there’s definitely more than enough discounts and free stuff to make it worth the cash.
February 2012 alone should definitely pay for itself with some exciting new releases such as The Simpsons Arcade Game and Final Fantasy V on February 7th, Far Cry 2 on February 14th, and a half-dozen Sega Genesis games (which were available last year) free of charge. There’s even more than that too, as seen below on the PlayStation Blog’s PS Plus release schedule.
The Simpsons, which was rumored and anticipated for the longest time, will feature 4 player online co-op and everything, so even if it wasn’t for free, it would be big news.
