I've bookmarked and will watch Nintendo's conference Wednesday evening and will avoid MMGN during the day.
You guys better not post everything on your facebook, I'm too addicted to avoid that for a day [Shifty]

There's a rumor going around PSN+ will have a revision announced at E3, and that it would be wise to buy three months before then......I'm very tempted to do it on the basis of hype off of a rumor :P

This is why I love Nintendo, they've literally kept just about everything (nintendo ninjas shall get you if you leak anything) under wraps, so it makes it more of a mystery and more exciting! =D

I think this close to E3, it's to be expected. Everything is on the verge of being leaked and so on. It could also be to hype up events beforehand?

Well the PlayStation®Plus Content Manager for SCEE said ''By the way, if you don't have a PS+ subscription, now is the time to get one. For real. Just get 3 months if you aren't sure. Trust me.''

I'm tempted to buy it, but not sure. :'(

At the moment, just discounts on games, some free for a period of time, full game trials (that go for about an hour I think) and a couple of other little things not related to the PSN store.

At the moment it doesn't seem like much, but if the revision rumor's to be believed it'll be getting many more benefits.

Considering the fact there's rumors of a revision, and the content manager, of all people hinted at it I'd say do it. You can not get more close to having a revision of something good coming up soon for it being confirmed :P

Yeah, I know how you feel. I was like that aswell :P
The benefits at the moment aren't that bad though, so I figured I mayaswell grab three months anyway and enjoy it even if a revision isn't announced.

Oh yeah, I remember reading that might be why they're partnering with them. Would make sense and would be great if we had a giant backlog of HD versions of PS2 games on the PSN [Derp]
