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.

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, 2 lata 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…

It’s a good thing we all got 33% pay raises… Right?

DoucheBagMcSwag, 2 lata temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

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

busydoinnothin, 2 lata 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?

The subscription also includes free games, though

Aradina, 2 lata temu

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

Whirling_Ashandarei, 2 lata temu (edited 2 lata 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, 2 lata temu

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

Whirling_Ashandarei, 2 lata 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, 2 lata 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

NightOwl, 2 lata temu

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

DeathWearsANecktie, 2 lata temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Hahaha fuck. I could never go back to console.

BruceTwarzen, 2 lata temu

I keep forgetting that stuff ain't free

Damn, I expect not getting too ripped out in México…

Save your money, buy a Steam Deck or a desktop PC, play games online with the internet service that you already pay a shit ton of money for, and don't look back. It's really stupid that we allowed game consoles to charge us to play online.

arefx, 2 lata temu

Steam deck is a great way to get into PC gaming if you don’t have a lot of money or a PC. It can run a lot of games. Enough that you won’t get bored any time soon.

RogueBanana, 2 lata temu

I would say a pc would be cheaper if ur on a budget as u can easily get a bunch of used hardware and rig it together till you can afford something better for an upgrade

arefx, 2 lata temu

Eh maybe if you’re hands on and want to take the time to find the deals on the parts. You could just dock a steam deck and plug in a key board mouse and monitor.

bitwolf, 2 lata temu

Agreed. I built up a nice console PC using a used HP Pavilion Gaming PC.

Threw in a 50$ 32gb ram kit and a 60$ 2tb SSD.

Total cost <450$ and it’s a bit faster than a Steam Deck.

I wouldn’t call this beginner friendly compared to a deck, but the potential cost savings are real.

verysoft, 2 lata temu

Yeah, if you can, get a PC, they might cost more initially but they pay for themselves in the long run. No reason to own a console.

I bet Steam machines would do better if they were released now.

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, 2 lata 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.

PenguinTD, 2 lata temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

It’s a move to test water then, since most people that are long term subscriber usually stack up during sales. I think they are testing how well it might work with their new offers and banking on people forgot to stop renew.

It really sucks cause essential pretty much no longer justified for their pricing at this point. Guess I have to try setup some sort of back up routine for my old save files on the PS cloud before I cancel my subscription.

MisterMoo, 2 lata temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

I bought PS+ earlier this year for the first time ever and regret it even at its current price. It was an experiment but it failed for me.

BigVault, 2 lata 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.

YourFavouriteNPC, 2 lata temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Ah yes, another very “for the players”-move indeed

JokeDeity, 2 lata temu do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Jesus I’m so glad I haven’t bought a console since the N64. Console players just get non-stop reamed.

kratoz29, 2 lata temu

Well, to be fair the N64 didn’t have any online capabilities, but I get your point.
