This price hike is absurd - fortunately the only game I play online (Warframe) is implementing cross-save soon, so I’ll be able to move away from Playstation and stop renewing Plus - 80 dollars for online pay and cloud saves is robbery, how greedy can you get?!

Wait, console players still have to pay to play online? Wtf? How have people kept purchasing these things?

A lot of people fear that you have to be a tech geek with deep pockets to play anything other than minesweeper.

Not true but this fear sells Xboxes

I don’t think you have to pay for plus for warframe. I used to play in PlayStation and I haven’t had plus since I got 3 free months with my PlayStation

doctortofu, rok temu

Even better - I can just let it lapse then and still play using my preferred controller - thanks for letting me know!

Cethin, rok temu

PSA: You can use literally any controller you want on PC.

kboy101222, rok temu

As the other guy said - any controller works on PC (I’d recommend wired though cause the vast majority of Bluetooth drivers suck on PC)

Well, that's another reason to consider completely switching over to gaming on PC. The free games are nice, but the quality always varies month to month and I really have to wonder if it's worth it to stay subscribed.

They’re not free.

Yup just cancelled my subscription, once i followed the link to confirm from Playstation not heresy. And yeah what a way to announce it, douches.

I’m a long time Playstation fan, had every system.

The subscription also includes free games, though

Aradina, rok temu

Only if you continue paying. You lose access when you stop. So, they’re not free, you pay monthly for them.

Whirling_Ashandarei, rok temu (edited rok temu)

Those are the catalogue games, but you also get the monthly free games that once claimed are yours. They are considered “purchased” I believe.

Edit: I’m wrong, did some googling.

ScoobyDoo27, rok temu

Those games are not purchased. You lose them when you unsubscribe to ps plus.

Whirling_Ashandarei, rok temu

Yep, just looked it up to make sure and I’m wrong. Wow, that sucks. I was already halfway out the door on my way to PC, this just confirms that.

Gordon_Freeman, rok temu

To have access to those "free games" you have to pay first, so how come they are free when they are asking money for them?

Free is this:

No payments required and you keep it forever

“rentals” since they cease to work once the subscription lapses. Just like how Netflix isn’t giving away free movies and TV shows.

Thanks for the info. Canceled today.

mara, rok temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Yeah, i’m gonna axe my PS Plus account. It ain’t worth it. PS5 has no games.

MrGerrit, rok temu (edited rok temu) do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

I buy the subscriptions for ps+ and nso during black friday. There is usually a sale going on then. Wish i could have stacked up some more.

doctortofu, rok temu

Yeah, but recently PS+ subscriptions only get a around 20% discount on Black Friday, and Sony is hiking the price up by now than 30, so it’s more than likely that the discounted price is still going to be higher than the full price now…

Nintendo will be next to raise prices for their peer 2 peer. Lol

storksforlegs, rok temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

By comparison Nintendo charges 24.99 a year (In Canada) Its a much simpler service but you also get access to some of their old catalogue online.

Or even cheaper just use Steam.

Question: If I were to buy a PS Plus Essential subscription code for 12 months, how would I be changing that to premium? Would I be charged after putting my code in? Do I now have two different dates on when Premium ends and when essential ends?

Maestro, rok temu

If you upgrade from essential to premium then you only pay the price difference for the time left on your essential. So only one end date.

DoucheBagMcSwag, rok temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Does Sony really think they can charge more than fucking Game Pass???

BigVault, rok temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

I used to own both a Series X, PS5 and have my gaming PC (all in the same room - desktop currently has an i5 13500, RTX 3090 24GB, 4TB of NVME storage & 128GB ram)

Got myself a 5m hdmi lead capable of driving my 4k/120 TV and just ended up using my pc for everything now.

I just switch sources between my monitor and tv when I want to game on the couch. Any mouse/keyboard input needed, I do it on the Unified remote app on my phone and fire up Steam big picture on the tv.

Sold the PS5 and XBOX and ditched two more subscriptions hitting me every month.

No regrets so far.

I bought a steam link forever ago and ran an Ethernet cable from my router to it. Works like a charm.

DeathWearsANecktie, rok temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Hahaha fuck. I could never go back to console.

I keep forgetting that stuff ain't free

busydoinnothin, rok temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

I’ve been paying for premium for the last year (monthly, not so bright here) and I haven’t used any of the offerings of streaming or demos. I’m def lowering my sub to extra (I def play from the catalog) but wondering if I should just pay for the year subscription now or wait for any discounts that may happen.

I think I read we have til Sept 6 to pay for current prices, so I figured I’d just get the year today. Any thoughts?
