PS Plus Gets Heavy Discounts for Black Friday

Well, mine runs out on the 20th. Was planning to let it lapse. But if I get 25% off o Extra, taking it down to £75. I’ll have to think about keeping it. Maybe. I just wish they’d add PSVR2 games, then it would be an easy purchase.

So back to normal price for a PS Plus sub.

Will probably re-sub at 30% off Essential since it's slightly less than the old price. You need to get $38.50 of value to make Extra worth it and an add'l $17.50 for Premium.

Going over the games list I don't see it, but if I were new to PlayStation & didn't have a substantial backlog it'd be a fine deal.

Still not biting. Sure this will pull a few more lapsers in though. Just don't play online enough personally.. now if Sony were to make a new KillZone (hint hint).

nothing about extending then?

Still not worth it for me. I am happy with Game Pass for now with day-one releases and a lot of other games. PS+, even at this price, won't be worth it once I've got through all the games I want to play.

Days of play next year will probably see a similar discount

Letting my Essential lapse. Have more than enough games to play at the moment without adding more Plus titles.

@liathach yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking - no discount at all if you just want to extend what you already have by 12 months ☹️☹️☹️

Why the ***** they don't give discounts for extending!? Isn't what I am giving money?

@thefourfoldroot1 It's very stupid that they don't put some solid VR2 offerings on here. Would absolutely make the difference for me on Extra or possibly even Premium

@Scottyy I think they probably will but just haven’t announced it ahead of time. I extended my premium by a year last Black Friday. The main limiting factor for me is that I want to downgrade to extra but last time they offered extensions you could only stack on the service you were on.

@Scottyy @Hamst88 @liathach It's unclear if the 'new' sub discount applies if you're extending. The official wording on the deal is quite vague:

"Players who join PlayStation Plus can save up to 30% on 12-month membership plans."

I would assume this includes extending since it doesn't specifically say you need to be a new member, but again, not 100% clear.

I'd be surprised if this isn't like all the usual sub sales where you can buy a year and add it to your existing subscription.

I think it's a nah for me.

I am good until next summer when I plan on letting it lapse.

I'll see if extenders get the discount and how much it will cost with vouchers from ShopTo, I might be tempted if it works out cheap enough

Premuim sub runs till next year August so no good deal. Hoping for the standard DualSense to get heavily discounted in Argos and GAME again like it did a few months back. Can never have to many DualSense. Really like having the different random colors on DualSense controllers. If there's an absolute bargain on a must play game then I might jump on it?

Weirdly enough, this summer I was about to let my Essential sub lapse, but they offered me dedicated 25% deal for continuing with it. Think they have an automated system that gives people discounts right before the sub is about to end. This was a month before Days of Play, I could have gotten a 30% discount if I had waited. 😄

Mine is up at the end of the month, so hopefully the discount will also be for extending subscriptions.

@BearsEatBeets I agree, it's 30% off across the board aside from the Essential->Extra 25%

Just checked and I'm already subbed until 2024-12-03. I guess there was a deal earlier in the year.

@Hundred_Hand_Slap

Capitalism. Raise price by 30%

Have a "sale" at a 30% discount.

@Netret0120 ..and the consumers will cheer like trained seals slapping their flippers together.

@GeeEssEff

Yeah it's also annoying that they don't let you buy below tier for your period after the current above tier ends.

What Sony really needs is a $10 per year tier that's just online play and cloud storage without including any games.

I let my subscription lapse back in December 2018.

I haven't had the time to partake in multiplayer games since then, and the amount of games that I kept stockpiling from the PS+ offerings just kept growing and growing.

Nothing really has changed since then, well, except for the multiple increases in the subscription price for PS+.

I wish Sony would offer a cheaper alternative to PS+, just offering online play.

Got just over a year left on my previously extended Extra so I'm OK for now.
Remember to buy discounted wallet top ups from Shop To and save even more!

@N1ghtW1ng Yes, I wish they'd have introduced a lower tier just for online purposes. That said the online save backups is useful, but only because they haven't allowed the PS5 to do USB backups which the PS4 still allows.

30% is good but they’ve already had 5p% off in the past. Still not keeping that overpriced crap fest.

I am subbed to extra til September next year usually top up another year on black friday but don't think I will bother this year.

Black Friday 2022 Prices

Premium (12 months) with 25% Discount = £74.99 / £6.25 per month
Extra (12 months) with 25% Discount = £62.99 / £5.25 per month
Essential (12 months) with 25% Discount = £37.49 / £3.12 per month

I will add the 2023 price comparison as soon as PS confirms it on their website

still not worth. I'm extremely salty with their price increase to "increase the quality of games" only to offer mafia 2 in the following month. I'll sell my ps5 when my subscription ends.

I always buy PSPlus when it off to 50%, so this 25% not on my target.
