    You cannot purchase because you already down Playstation Plus.

    New subscribers only?

    EDIT:

    Yes new subscribers only. Please edit and add the info.

    I've never subscribed for PS+ before and haven't even used the trial yet so I'm wondering if I can activate the 14 day trial first and still subscribe at the discounted price? Will it stack?

    • Tal_Shiar on 18/03/2016 - 01:54

      not sure, you'll never be able to use another trial again but it should …

    • PVA on 18/03/2016 - 07:12

      I bet after the trial is started it won't say you are a new subscriber.

    • Curiosity on 18/03/2016 - 21:12
      +1

      Not worth the risk,
      if you really want to test it out, create a new account, and use the trial on that.

      Download the + games etc, and then play in your main account.

  • professorhulk on 18/03/2016 - 02:14

    I'm a lapsed subscriber and I just got this email, so I'm guessing it applies to anyone who isn't currently subscribed, not just first-timers.

      Dammit I was lapsed but renewed yesterday morning! Oh well

      • Curiosity on 18/03/2016 - 21:13

        Someone mentioned below, that you might be able to get a refund

    • r3volt on 18/03/2016 - 16:23

      I have left it for a month and havnt recieved a thing.

  • mekktor on 18/03/2016 - 03:19

    My subscription expired last month and I also got the email. From the email:

    To be eligible for this offer, you must (i) have a SEN account (ii) not have an active PS Plus subscription.

    And from the terms & conditions:

    This PlayStationPlus offer is open to Sony Entertainment Network account holders who do not currently have a PS Plus subscription.

    Edit: It seems I can purchase it on the PS4 store. One year of PS+ for $37 thanks to OzBargain, I guess I can't complain about the game offerings at that price.

    • milo-oreo on 18/03/2016 - 07:09

      How'd you get $37? Still shows up at $52 for me

      • mekktor on 18/03/2016 - 07:34

        Sorry, should've been clearer about that. Got it for that price by combining a few (now expired) deals.

  • Aemit on 18/03/2016 - 07:02

      I don't see why that wouldn't work.

      • Aemit on 18/03/2016 - 09:15

        will have to try when expired

  • kpyam2000 on 18/03/2016 - 07:29

    Do you get to keep the free games upon expiry of your PS Plus subscription?

    • mekktor on 18/03/2016 - 07:36

      You can only play them while you have an active subscription, so no.

      • Slippery Otter on 18/03/2016 - 08:08
        +1

        I think he mean't do you keep them but cannot access them. People have reported that once you re-activate your PSN+ account you have access to those games again. I just hope they don't get wiped.

          My PS+ membership lapsed for maybe 4/5 months last year. Couldn't access the games I got off PS+ during that time. I then renewed my PS+ membership and gained access to the games again.

    • Master Bates on 18/03/2016 - 09:34

      Correct, without an active subscription the PlayStation Plus games won't work, but if you rejoin then they are still accessible.

      Mine lapsed and I didn't renew for a couple of months; I can still access all previous PlayStation Plus freebies that I had already downloaded.

    • mattelinc on 18/03/2016 - 11:00

      I hope so. I have the whole Crash Bandicoot series on my PS3.

      I can't play it at the moment but about to renew.

    "PS4 Online Multiplayer" - I always thought it's free to play online multiplayer on PS4? Xbox on the the other hand you need to join Xbox Live Gold to play online?

    • itsMartin on 18/03/2016 - 09:39
      +2

      No PS3 was free, PS4 requires PS+

    • Skyhooks on 18/03/2016 - 09:51
      +1

      Only on ps3 and vita, whereas ps4 brought in the paid subscription model to online multiplayer.

  • dirt king on 18/03/2016 - 08:41

    For those already with a US PSN account: Can we purchase this on an AU psn account (provided we have never purchased it on the AU account of course) and wait 6 months etc. till the US account expires then activate this one?
    Or does this activate immediately rendering this strategy useless?

    • roadeh on 18/03/2016 - 09:21

      I suspect the latter; the subscriptions only stack when applying to the same account as far as I know

    • custom on 18/03/2016 - 14:30

      Pretty sure you would lose all of your purchases also.

      • eltito on 19/03/2016 - 09:05

        It would be the purchases that were free with ps+ (I.e. the free games) but actual games/dlc you've bought wouldn't be lost

  • Miso on 18/03/2016 - 09:26

    Won't allow me to purchase on the link. I expired a few weeks ago.

    Will try from the 4 when at home later.

    Past experience suggest to me better off wait until 20% off on PSN cards then use those credits to buy games when promotion is on eg. Easter, Xmas Sales.

    PSN+ is not worth it. Unless you are into multiplayer, plus the games given free monthly are usually indies. No go. BTW PS3 is free multiplayer. Don't think I will ever get a PS4

    • neonlight on 04/04/2016 - 11:51

      Not sure about the negs I'm speaking the truth here

  • Snoopy113 on 18/03/2016 - 09:45

    Will this work for US PSN accounts?

    • Agret on 18/03/2016 - 10:21

      No but if you activate the PS+ on an AU account then you will be able to play online on your USA PS+ ID, you just won't be able to play the free PS+ games you redeemed on that USA account.

  • bluepanther on 18/03/2016 - 09:57

    A bit annoyed this is only for lapsed and new subscribers… How many out there (like me) subscribed for a month on March 8th when The Division was released and can't take advantage of this deal.

    This was just what I was after. Mine lapsed after I didn't use the PlayStation for a while, but I'm single now so yolo. Thanks OP!

    EDIT - Spoke too soon. Internet sign up says that 12 months subscription isn't even available to me; whereas the PS4 still shows up full price. What do, Sony? What do?

    EDIT AGAIN - Sign in to PSN on Internet first then click OP's link. It works.

  • motlking on 18/03/2016 - 11:20

    I doubt this very much but if there is someone out there who might know or suspect will having a subscription help in network priority?
    Specifically with Street Fighter V which doesn't need a subscription to play online.

    I started with AU PS+, signed up for US one when Amazon had deals, that just lapsed and this worked for AU renewal for me. Annoyed that there are some games that I'll miss out on as I was in US Store (main one being Rocket League) but at least I can access the older games I had access to again from AU subscription now.

  • B-Moose on 18/03/2016 - 12:48

  • congo on 18/03/2016 - 13:36

    What games do you think will become free in the next 12 month?

    • Curiosity on 18/03/2016 - 21:10

      They pretty much work everywhere, I have US/UK/JP/etc/etc accounts, which all work in AU.

      Seems to be a lot of indies-type games lately,
      I recall reading somewhere, they may reduce the PS3/Vita games and offer more PS4 (can't find the article right now)

  • DrC on 18/03/2016 - 14:01

    I had a trial that expired on the 6th of March, and it won't let me purchase this as it says I have an active account. Oh well!

    • dokyung on 18/03/2016 - 14:43

      This happened to me as well. I had a trial that expired last week.

    Was wondering why I didn't receive this email, but then realised I'd never gotten PS+ on my main account, only my US one. Been waiting for a deal for a while (lapsed July/August last year sometime) and this is probably as good as it will get.

  • Ruriko on 18/03/2016 - 17:43

    Can't buy this since it says not available for purchase. I think it's for new users only since it won't let me top over my existing subcription

      If you can't get a refund or sell it,
      u can always buy the 20% off one, then activate the card ontop of it, they should stack (check the terms on the card)

    • Mr Brinks on 20/03/2016 - 00:08

      No you can't refund those cards

    Can confirm that this works even if you previously had a subscription.

    This showed up as 'unavailable' when logged into PS network.
    However, if you log out and click the Playstation link to this deal, you are able to select it.
    You are then asked to login, and from here you can confirm the purchase, which then processes it for the discounted price.

    Happy Easter!

    My PS+ expired today but I couldn't renew at the reduced price from the web store. The logging off trick that 'blaast' said was no longer working, as I was getting an error when I go to confirm purchase. However I then accessed the PSN store from my PS4. The discounted price was available to select and payment went through first try.

  • Kangaroo Jack on 30/03/2016 - 07:01

    Hey guys,

    Gave this a positive rating as many have had success with it and it is a great find!!

    Unfortunately, I am like a few on here that keep getting an error message. I was not going to post, but have had a pretty bad experience with their customer service team.

    I have emailed them about the error, with screenshots, I tried logging in from the PS4, from my phone, from a pc- still no luck. So over the past week I have been trying to resolve it with customer service, each time they take about 12 hours + to reply, and each time making jump through a number of hoops. To put this into perspective, I have tried 4 cards from 3 different financial services, and they asked me to call my bank… When clearly it is not the bank at fault - I have purchased DLC's online before.

    This morning I checked my account and they had tested my account with a 19c withdrawal. They also asked me to describe a lengthy process answering a number of questions, which I found out in their most recent email, they can see all of this (number of attempts, payment method etc) on their backend. In their most recent email they also asked me to wait 48hours before my next attempt, conveniently this now places me out of the 25% offer … Fantastic…

    I'm disappointed to say the least.

    I'll be calling today, and looking to escalate it.

      Theres something up with there payment system, The guy on phone just said will esculate to Head office as he doesnt know why its happening..

      • Kangaroo Jack on 01/04/2016 - 06:54

        Yep, this worked perfectly!! Buy PSN cards then fund the wallet and buy at the discount!
