Not only are you able to play online with it, you also get 2 free games every month and you get to keep those games so long as you have a PlayStation Plus subscription. And on top of that you also get deals on top of deals on the PlayStation Store, for example if a game is on sale for 20% off you can get it for 25 or 30% off. Buying the 12 month 49.99 subscription means that you pay just about 5 dollars every month, totally worth every penny.
