PS Plus Subscriptions Discounted by 25% for a Limited Time

What I did, was spend £75 on discounted digital wallet funds, which is less than I'd happily spend for the year long Extra sub anyway! Then I got the discounted Plus Extra Sub for a year at £62.99, and ended up with £32.01 credit left in my PSN wallet. And I don't need to tell you that £32 is £20 more than the £12 net difference that I actually spent. Clever 😁

Now the decision is, waste the bonus funds on Saints Row, or put it towards a good game 😂

The main annoyance as I recall though is unlike when you had "brick & mortar" retail sales on ps plus you could add extra subscriptions without problem....But try to buy a PS Plus extension online & it PSN Store won't let you complete the transaction unless you add a suitable credit/debit card details for subsequent renewal! I assume you can hopefully remove it but its a lot of stuffing around for what used to be a straightforward procedure!😕

@Ravix Where do you get discounted wallet funds? I can’t ever find that in the states.

@SgtTruth As someone who had Premium I can confirm, absolutely not worth it.

@FatalBubbles no idea about the US. We have shopto and cdkeys in the UK, but they are definitely region locked codes so don't try it, unless they offer a specific US version, which, again, I'm not sure if they do.

UK users, definitely do this though for an extra saving, or, like me pay a touch more to get the extra free credit on top if you buy digital games anyway

@Ravix CDKeys has them in the states but it’s like $24.09 for $25 which isn’t even worth it.

My Extra subscription is good until January and I'm sure there'll be other chances for a 25% off deal along the way, if not slightly better. So I'm fine for now.

@FatalBubbles yeah, that's not the same kind of saving 😳 I don't know how they do it, but in the UK it's £15 off £90 worth of credit, and PS stars topped it up to £95 credit for a £75 spend.

Have you checked if the savings increase for larger top ups, by the way?

@Ravix I thought everyone did that?! Anyone who pays full PSN price for subs or games are doing it wrong.

For games, I don't even use the UK store. Pre-ordered FFXVI for £32 the other day from the Turkey store.

Great savings out there if you look in the right places.

@Gaia093 yeah, I think there was usually a Black Friday deal, so I think I'll hold off as well

@Gamer_Guy I've done it wrong in the past, as I couldn't be bothered using third party sites, and sometimes the old impulse control and wallet act like excited children and just hit buy on the PS Store 😁 But it's surprisingly easy to get that extra saving in about a minute.

PS should still do more when it comes to digital pricing, mind you, as a lot of people are casual gamers. That's my main criticism for Sony. Not endless sales, release date vs demand based decreases in RRP/digital store price.

Oh and I cba with the store location stuff, as of yet, it feels like a dirty trick 😆 but yeah, if there's a need for further reductions, I'm pleased people take advantage of that loophole. I'd prefer if Sony re-evaluated their digital store sales practises though.

So glad I didn’t renew my Premium membership in November! I chose to let my subscription lapse and move to Extra, even though that would cost more than the discounted Premium price. Since my subscription lapsed yesterday I can get the level I want and save money, too!

ShopTo have £40 PS Wallet top-up cards for £35.85 so you can have 12 months of Essential and still have £2.51 to go towards a game.

Or, if you have a few quid in your wallet already, £30.85 gets you a £35 wallet top up.

£80 wallet top up is just £66.85 if you fancy Extra or Premium or multiple Essentials.

I’m confused. Was on Extra, Premium 12 months wouldn’t show so I upgraded rest of month to Premium. I can now see 12 months of Premium but not with the discount?

Is ~$67 a price with a discount or is it a full price for 12-month PS+ Deluxe?

Checked my sub and I’m good through the end of March 2027. I’ve been signed up since the Qore days, so, yeah…I have a problem.

@Liam would you be so kind to post information about PS+ Deluxe as well, in future? Not all countries have Premium plan available.

Funny enough, re-upping my sub will be the first Playstation purchase of 2023.

My PS+ sub (premium) is due for renewal in a few weeks, so this is perfect timing 🙂

Just took advantage of this for another year of Extra. The best discount on ShopTo right now is the £84 card for £69.85 which is 16.8% off. The £80 card is 16.4% off, etc (I ended up writing a script to crush the numbers, output at the end).

That left £21.01, of which I spent £15.99 on Burning Shores, so I still have £5.02 sitting in my wallet

£10 costs £9.85: 1.50% discount
£5 costs £4.85: 3.00% discount
£20 costs £18.85: 5.75% discount
£15 costs £13.85: 7.67% discount
£25 costs £22.85: 8.60% discount
£30 costs £26.85: 10.50% discount
£35 costs £30.85: 11.86% discount
£40 costs £34.85: 12.87% discount
£50 costs £42.85: 14.30% discount
£100 costs £84.85: 15.15% discount
£90 costs £75.85: 15.72% discount
£45 costs £37.85: 15.89% discount
£32 costs £26.85: 16.09% discount
£80 costs £66.85: 16.44% discount
£84 costs £69.85: 16.85% discount

@theheadofabroom 3 days ago I got 45£ card for 36.11£ which was best value at the time, but now it is raised to 37.09£. I have gold account with them thats why my prices have slightly lower price.

@REALAIS ah, I don't shop with them often enough to make gold worthwhile, but it's useful info

Might pick up another year of Premium.

Basic is usually £24.99 just after Christmas 26th/27th) that’s what I got it for for the last 2 years

So I can get 25% off extending my plan. But after I do that, does the button change to "Buy Again" so I can add a year, with the same 25% discount? Is there any limit to stacking?

@frankmcma yes, your wallet.

Further to what others have said about getting discounted codes, I just got an £84 code from ShopTo for £69.
I had Premium since it launched, paid about £83 for the discounted code at that time, and for me, Premium simply isn't worth £100 a year, it wasn't worth the £83 I actually paid.
So I will go with Extra.

The price is not that much higher than extra, but I will not support that tier for the dross it has had, and game trials and streaming games do not interest me.

I played just one Premium game in the past year Ghostbusters Remastered.

Well that was mad; £37.49 for a year of PS+ Essential or £38.42 for a year of PS+ and an instant upgrade for the remainder of my current sub giving a total of 550 days of Extra - renewing 4/12/2024??
