    FYI as of now you get access to that Ratchet & Clank game you liked when you join PLUS in addition to 11 other games. Check them out on that link.

    As Kupo indicated - that deal ends on Tuesday of next month.
    They're planning to rotate out three games per month out of the twelve for the "instant game collection." The only ones that are going away next week are Hard Corps: Uprising, Virtua Fighter 5, and Zombie Apocalypse.

    Well, that's nothing but good news for Gunstar Hero.

    I actually think it is a very good time to get a current gen system for anyone. A lot of the good games are becoming around the $10-15 mark used at Gamestop. Even games that came out just a year or two ago are dropping that low.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.

    This is very true, there are tons of games that are very cheap for all of the systems. Maybe a result of this console generation lasting longer than others?

    Gamestop employees I saw actually blamed it on the Wii U. They talk like this generation is coming to a close.

    This generation is pretty much over for the Wii, the 360 still has some gas in it, and the PS3 will probably be supported for the next 4-5 years if history is any indicator.
