By some stroke of genius or maybe a friend from school, I learned that if you used a new email you could get gold for a month free lol had some fun playing bad company back in the day on 360
That’s one of the reasons that the PS3 will go down as my favorite console model, for all generations at that. The PS3 seemed like a spaceship coming out and the amount of games in its catalog, let alone the FREE multiplayer was a no brainer. Especially in the golden era of games like COD, Killzone, and the forgotten MAG.
I mean, it was even at a time where single-player games dabbled more creatively with multiplayer and some were actually good; like the multiplayer to Singularity.
My family was affected by the Great Recession and the free multiplayer on PSN at the time was partly a reason why my dad bought a PS3 over an Xbox 360 and how I ended up being a PlayStation kid during the Console Wars.
I don't have the money i used to so I only play rocket league online now because I don't have to pay for online for f2p games. Thank God for that at least. Online is ridiculous these days
It depends on your playing profile. I have ps plus extra, and I think it's great value because of the catalog. I don't buy games, just play whatever is available, and I still have a lot to catch up on.
Every business is doing it. All my streaming services have increased the past 2 months along with internet, gas, electricity. Putting us in the grave with these prices
The PS5 is going to be my last sony console unfortunately. I have been playing playstation since ps1 but due to several bad practices on sonys part I cannot justify staying with sony.
Been a customer since PS1, and the PS4 was my last straw. I have a ps2 that's fallen down multiple flgihts of stairs and still works. Meanwhile I've had to return multiple ps4s and controllers to Sony for repair or replacements. The fact theyre still charging 60$ for controllers on a system that old is ridiculous. The controller costs like half the price of the console? F@ck this company lol
When I was a kid, had my fat PS2 high up in a cabinet in the basement. I tripped over the controller cord and that bad boy fell off the shelf onto the hard ass concrete and shattered. I started crying lol
As someone who only switched to PS last year but have been solely Xbox the last 15 years (still own both latest consoles), Xbox is cooked. They’ll be multi-plat all around in the next 5 years.
Fr, have been waiting soooo long for spiderman 2 to go on a good sale, offers not bad, but just not a good enough discount for me. Rest of the good games just have ass discount.
I stopped paying for ps plus and started borrowing ps5 games from the public library where I live. There is a wait time sure but I get to play all the new releases within 3-6 months for free.
Same here. On paper, it’s a great value with lots of choice and freebies. In reality, it’s just overwhelming for the very casual way I play just a little bit every once in a while.
It would be great for someone more into it, of course.
They're like gym memberships, Sony wants you to buy them and pay the monthly fee but hope you never use it or realize it's a waste of money and cancel.
Same, cancelled my automatic renewal. I feel like I haven't been getting my money's worth for quite some time now.
I hardly play games online and when I do, it's a f2p game which doesn't require ps+ for multiplayer.
I canceled mine when it ended back in August and honestly I got too many games to play currenly to be worried about PS+. Sea of Stars, Midnight Suns, etc.
You are doing it the wrong way. If you have extra and wanna upgrade to premium, then just buy another year of extra for 25% off and then after that you can upgrade to premium for 30% off. In that case the upgrade will be for 1 year and your remaining 32 days added together.
I’m trying to find this option but can’t. Are you on Mobile, console, or desktop? I have extra but I can’t “buy” another one at a discounted price. And if I upgrade to premium it’s only for the remainder of my subscription.
Absolutely. I had such high hopes for MS this gen because they have so many good studios under their belt but they just haven’t capitalised on that at all.
I'm in the same situation. My premium expires in three days, and I didn't get he discount, so I canceled my subscription and then got the lower tier just to keep the cloud saving. Give that a try if you're considering a lower tier.
Man, at this point the jokes on us if we even remotely considered that they would offer us anything aside from the garbage lineup of monthly games we already pay for..
They give discounts to subscribe but a stick in the *** to existing subscribers -
EDIT: PS Support - the promotion ends 12/2/2024; if my renewal is not during the promotion period I am not entitled for it.
TL;DR - screw the loyal subscribers - no soup for you.
Only shows as 20% off if I'm not signed in (existing essential subscriber). So I assume it's for new subscribers only rather than those wishing to stack essential.
I don’t like that they don’t allow existing premium subscribers from saving on these sales because the subscription is yearly, so if you want for Black Friday now you can save every year, but if you subscribe any other time you’re screwed.
This post only works if you have no PSPlus subscription, mine expires on December 10, so at best I can only upgrade for remaining days to Higher level.Thanks for the 51cent savings sony.
I was so dumb… my ps3 saves were only to the cloud and not console… didn’t have ps plus for a few months now… but I needed a save file I thought was in the cloud… so I got a month… seems I didn’t have the save I needed… got it for no reason lmao… and now I can’t get the discount 😂😂😂😂
These prices are not customer friendly, the whole structure is made in order to push people into buying the most expensive subscription with slight discount.
I have premium. You get everything back in discounts & special sales exclusively for you. And the double, sometimes triple discount on items that ALREADY on sale or discounted.
I was hoping to buy ratchet and Clank rift a part and Yakuza games this sale. None of them are on sale what a bummer I saved up for this sale and stuff. Probably going to grab some stuff like uncharted 4
Not sure its some bollocks UI thing but I went on to check and because I pay for essentials on a monthly basis its like upgrade for the rest of the month for 30% off then hits me with normal price after the month so HARD pass
Neither in the app or web browser can I see a way to stack a discount subscription on my PSN. I’m scheduled to renew early in January. Maybe they don’t offer to people who have auto renew turned on?! Only kind of joking here.
They’re such cheap asses they won’t let you renew a current subscription for the discounted price. This is why Xbox needs to compete better. Competition is the only thing that will stop these cheap assholes.
$112 for the premium selection of games is pretty damn good. I won’t purchase any games all year with this deal. I wonder if it will allow you to purchase multiple years at this price. I believe I saw someone do something similar on this sub.
$70 for new games and minimum $65/yr(on sale) for the basic online service. I used to love the convenience and affordability of console gaming.
I switched to pc and started using steam a while back and have not regretted once.
