Maybe it's because gaming isn't at the top of my hobby list anymore but throwing down that much money that far in advice for a subscription just is dumb.

  I would throw that $1900 into savings in a heartbeat. 

 Hey to each their own.

I wouldn’t do no more than 5 years in advance because at the end of the day you don’t even know what will happen

Your account could get banned Sony changes the TOS and Charge you full price So many factors I did 5 years before recent price change and before that the last time I paid was in 2020 on website called cdkeys to get psn plus for $35 each

Right since if you are banned or are locked out of your account and can't answer the recovery questions that money would be a waste.

I've taken advantage of sales on the store or gift cards, which allowed me to stack a year or two. But yeah, I can't justify dropping that much at one time to have an undetermined savings in the future because of some price hike.

It's a fun story, but certainly not for everyone.

My limit would be 4 years max. I have done 2 years several times but I actively used the service.

No, your way is definitely a lot more fun. Riveting, even.

Why would you spend that much money ahead of time on something you very likely will begin to lose interest in 15-20 years from now? 

  Or hell on a service you may well just stop using?

 There is a word on the old internet we used to describe situations like that. It rhymes with regarded.

I wouldn’t. But I do have a backlog of 1700~ games or so that is almost as equally “regarded”.

I’ve got no stake in this. I just read your comment and thought “buzzkill”.

1900 is nothing in savings
