I've been a Plus subscriber for a few years now, and have been very happy with it. While I think there is some room for improvement, if it was kept as is, I would have no problem.
That said, I understand the frustration on the PS4 side of things. Plus for PS4 was supposed to launch with a AAA game, Drive Club (albeit a cut down version), and did not. And, while the PS3 and Vita get multiple games a month, the new toy on the block gets one. If you don't like that game/genre/what have you, you're simply out of luck for the month, on the PS4.
Even though it's really unreasonable to expect a game like Infamous: Second Son to drop on Plus at release, wanting more from Plus for the PS4 isn't entirely unreasonable.
I'm surprised that Sony hasn't attempted to bring over more PS3 PSN games to the PS4, exactly to mollify PS4 Plus subscribers. Since the PS4's architecture is so PC like, I wouldn't think it would be a massive undertaking to rework a PC release of a PSN game into PS4 compatibility. Not necessarily AAA, but sometimes quantity trumps quality.
I really can't see this going for more than $150. To be blunt, it's not much more than a couple of Move controllers and a decent streaming display on a pair of headphones. Should have a small, low res, outward facing camera, too, but that's a minimal cost.
The PS4 Eye is doing the majority of the work. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Yeah, if you tack on the price of the camera and a couple of Move controllers, it's going to increase the price, but for the headset alone, $150 or less.
My main interest in it isn't even for gaming. If I can use it as a personal huge screen 3D video system, I'm in.
I'm almost willing to put down money that this will be surprisingly affordable, because it will essentially be streaming goggles with basic motion sensors, offloading the positioning heavy lifting to the PS4 Eye, via lot's of multicolored LEDs on the headset/straps. I've got no problem with that, either.

Re: Project Morpheus to Be 'Affordable Consumer-Grade Device', Says Sony Exec
$150, or less, and I'll pick one up. Anything over $200 will be a complete bomb.

@PixelatedPixie YES! Tired of the horror and death themed PS4 offerings.
