I used two different methods to quantify the value I received from the service to be able to compare it against the cost of the subscription.

The first method gets the total of the lowest sales prices of each game that I played.

The second method divides the cost of the sub by the number of games I played.

The reason for the 2 different methods is a possible difference between owning the game and renting the game.

For my own personal gaming preference, once I finish playing a game I don't touch it ever again. So, buying the game & selling it back or renting the game for a predetermined amount of time makes no difference to me.

The total cost for 12 months of PS Plus Premium for me was $111.99 because of the Black Friday 2024 discount.

From the first method, I got a total value of $240.28 from my cost of $111.99.

The $240.28 comes from the sites psprices.com (for the PS4 & PS5 games) and psdeals.net (for the PS3 games).

In the end, I got $128.29 more than I paid for ($240.28 - $111.99).

From the second method, I played a total of 28 games.

From the $111.99, each game cost me $4.00 each if I had rented them for a whole year, which is not possible in my area.

Overall, I'm glad with these results and will definitely subscribe again. In addition, I now have 28 games added to my platinum/100% mosaic.
