Here's a PSA for everyone: PlayStation Plus is currently on offer via PS Store, and it's as good a deal as you'll find right now.
As Sony confirmed yesterday, you can buy a PS Plus 12-month subscription for half the usual price. It's normally £49.99/$59.99 for a year's membership, but right now, you can get it for just £24.99/$29.99.
This is applicable whether you are a brand new subscriber or a returning one, but current subscribers unfortunately miss out. You'll need to be quick if you want to take advantage of the discount, though. The deal runs between now and 19th December, midnight local time.

Awww just stocked up during black friday. Going to be interesting how they allow upgrades to their rumored bundle with PS Now.
Thanks for the heads up! I was going to stock up over Black Friday, but still had a years left. Going to get a few years worth, as I imagine PS+ will get a price hike soon.
@Jayslow that's exactly what I was thinking.
I got a good deal from Shop To in the Black Friday sales (£29.85). Wonder why this wasn't included in that?
@Quintumply it says "new and returning PlayStation Plus subscribers" - are you sure it's available for current subscribers?
It's saying £50 for me still.
My only concern about stocking up now is if there planning on rolling out diffrent subscription plans soon could we potentially be stuck on a tier diffrent from some of the future offerings?
I can see the discount section on there but says I’ve already purchased and won’t let me buy it again. Who knows!
No thanks I'll buy the games I actually want. Don't wanna feel forced to download games I don't need just because I have Plus, don't have the space or time for it.
Says in the small text that it’s only for new subscribers
Ah you know what, I misread the deal. Apologies — updating the text now.
Definitely not letting me purchase it, I have 3 months left
Nice... I already got it on Black friday.
Now waiting for GameFLY to do the extra 2 Free months with a 12 month gift certificate. They do it every year around Christmas.
I'll be set for 2022.
Well this is bloody annoying, just bought another year at £33.32 in the recent sale.
Like many others I stocked up a couple of years on Black Friday Sales. Thanks Sony for the heads up.....thats like £15that could have gone on a game
Why i can't extend.....
And if it isnt then it's bullsh*t
Yeah, don’t think you can “stock up”. Believe this is only for new subscriptions.
I wish they would do this for 12 months of PS Now too.
Im already set for 2022 for 12 month psplus.so its all good.word up son
I really dislike when things go on sale, so you buy it up and then shortly thereafter, it gets a bigger sale. Fortunately, this 50% discount wouldn't apply to me, so I didn't get wrecked.
Long before rumors of PS+ adding tiers, I fully expected an eventual price increase, so I stocked up when it was $35 and have ten years of PS+. Every year, I buy one more to maintain at ten years. Now, I just hope Sony doesn't screw people like myself that have PS+ and PS Now if PS++ becomes a reality. I should keep the base PS+ tier and for every year of PS Now I have, I should get the highest tier. There should also be some way to upgrade my base PS+ to the highest tier for a nominal fee.
So many questions.
@Quintumply Nice to see someone both apologize and fix it b/c it reads fine to me now. 👍
Does seem a bit mean-spirited to have this right after a week of $40, which I did buy, then erroneously redeemed on my kids account on PS5 so 8 years of games are inaccessible.😝
Considering it for $30, I want to play Bugsnax that I grabbed earlier in the year before we had a PS5 but I was still subscribed, think it ended in June.
To think that I passed on the Black Friday deal hoping that a deal like this would pop up but now I'm being screwed for already being a subscriber..., ok!
"current subscribers unfortunately miss out"
Lame ass move on Sony's part... no surprise here, however, since it's not the first time they pull something like this.
No matter, there are "40-50% off for 12 months PS Plus" offers on cd key sites, they happen from time to time all year round, more often that the ones from Sony, and they don't come with disappointing conditions like this attached to them.
Why did I re-join at the Black Friday sale price ($39.99).🙄 And why isn't this available to current subscribers?👎
Wen i go to this offer it says purchased??? I’m paid up until June 2023.
Not for me, I am subscribed until end of next year then won’t subscribe again..
IMHO PS+ has been a bit poop lately (for months).
@sanderson72 nop, i tryed and its only for new
30 bucks is a steal
@Snake_V5 you could have subbed for 25% off just few days ago. It ended on 9th of December. It was for new subs only tho, but if you have alt account, it's not an issue. I just subbed to alt and play on main
@TheArt absolutely and on top of that physical copies. That's the closest you can get to real ownership.
@R-Soub Thought it would be - this isn't the first time Sony has pulled this particular stunt!
Probably doing it as everyone new to PlayStation who bought a launch PS5 will be running out of PS+ subscription now.
I just stack the Black Friday sales ones from Shop To who always have a better than Sony price. I'm set until Dec 2023!
If you’re a current subscriber you cannot get this deal… but it’s no surprise because psPlus current subs are used to getting screwed over by the service
@crazykcarter Cant you make a account on your PS4 for her and use the discount. I dont know for certain anyone knows?
I'm ineligible since a current subscriber...will just wait for third party sales next year.
Great timing! My sub is ending on December 14th so I can get the discount after that. Right now it shows that I own it but in two days it will be fine.
Make sure you turn off auto-pay...
New subscribers only!!!🙄
@Shinnok789 $ony doing a complete 180 ever since the ps4 put em back on their high horse . the ps5 is lacking & missing features too and ps now is pretty yikes compared to game pass
