And it’s full of rubbish games, not worth the screen time to scroll through them.
Seeing a friend with XBox game pass and the games on that, I’m tempted to throw my PS5 off the balcony.
@snipercat: yeah I have xbox game pass and must say it's pretty sick. Tempted to get xbox series x instead of a PS5 but I still took the ps5…
@Nick K: Yeah I’m thinking of getting one, might throw my PS5 on sale.
I just hate the layout of Xbox and the fact that you still need to buy batteries for the controller, what a waste of recyclables
@snipercat: ps controllers are better in my opinion, but you can get rechargable battery pack for xbox controllers then you can charge just like a ps controller. It's what I've been using.
@Nick K: Yeah I definitely like the PS controller than Xbox, Xbox controller is like trying to play marbles with basketballs
@snipercat: I can't handle the Xbox controller, I find the PS controller much more comfortable to use.
Yes but not on AU accounts.
@sween64: Plus I found that it doesn't steam with Aus connection, only allows download of PS4 games. Unless that's changed in the last 6 months.
Is this the biggest discount that Sony usually does? I think it was only 25% off last black Friday?
No. 50% off in August for non-subscribers or lapsed subscriptions.
Last black friday was $59.95 Im pretty sure. So this beats that
Yes, the last 2 Black Friday's have been 25%.
They did $40 for new/expired users recently.
I'm like 4 months in, and I haven't even played 1 game they've offered.(PS5)
I don't see the point, 50/50 if worth renewing.
Only reason I'd buy is for FIFA online play lol 😭
Same, I keep renewing, but most games are crap, no idea why I'm doing this :)
This is the way.
Wreckfest is the last one I played a lot of. Overcooked: AYCE and A Plague Tale: Innocence are both meant to be good.
A lot of people have it to play online, the PS games every month are a bonus. If you buy this at discounted rate it's worth it even if you don't play online because some months in a year Sony does give really good games and now we are getting 1 PS5 game every month. The last few months have been bad so I think it's more just bad luck you signed up at that time. But if you check the last few years of PS Plus history.. We've been given so much good stuff. At $53.30.. That's like $4.44 per month.. Can't really be complaining about that.
Agree. I signed up in November last year and the free games for the first 6 months were not too bad, they've been pretty average the last few months though.
Won't be renewing. I'll just wait for PS now whenever that comes. PS plus is a joke.
Do they use US date format for the date in the App? Have to 05/10/2023, I feel like that's May.
It's a bit all over the place in the app. Risk of Rain 2 shows DD/MM for release date but M/DD for end of special price.
Expires: 08/27/2023
So on the mobile website for me it's MM/DD.
it has the normal price on there
I am tempted, but since the recent cheap offers ($40) the free games have been sub par….
My current annual membership expires in 2 weeks. Is there a way for me to still take advantage of this deal?
Yes, just purchase it when the sale is active and it will stack on top of your current subscription.
Cheers
It stacks on top of believe?
If only I can find a PS4 with fw 7.55
I am guessing this one will end up being $60 for us like every other year.
Hmm, I renewed for $59.95 in June from the JB sale… might be time to add another 12 month extension!
dammit why does it always go on sale when I still have 4 months to go on my ps plus lol.
You can still buy it and it will just stack on top of your current subscription.
Great deal, thanks OP
Profile Picture checks out
I bought this when i got my ps5 and i regret it. The games have been mostly garbage and i don't play ps5 games online.
A couple of the ps+ collection are good but you can get those games for $5 second hand and then you own them forever. Waste of money IMO
so this is going live on the psn site tomorrow 19th at 9pm AEDT?
lucky ive had a few discounted years stacked, cause i always miss the blackfriday deal..
That's what I would like to know, too. I can see it's not live yet, but I can't quite tell the exact date and time it's supposed to go live.
Is it for USA psn accounts too?
anyone know how to get it for US accounts since they don't accept AU cards?
if you have a US account, wouldn't you have a source to get gift cards from? you can probably take advantage of the deal on the playstation store if they are also running the deal there
Same deal is live on Amazon right now, in case anyone’s interested.
I found JB and Harldy Normal doing the same prices.
I'm aware JB only permit 1 purchase at a time and have to order multiple times, but I used HN as their cart permitted 3. It accepted the order and payment, I got an order confirmation stating they will review the order. 1 hour later, they emailed me after reviewing my order and cancelled it.
How odd is that, it's a digital product in which I will use on 3 PS4's (myself big kid and my 2 boys).
I could understand of 1 PS5 per order but 3 digital memberships which I would use and not profit.
Their business model is Hardy Normal.
Is this still not active or what?
Should be active in 3 hours.
Now live.
EB Games have it up on their website now:
https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/ps4/279165-playstation-pl…
Harvey Norman is up as well now.
https://www.harveynorman.com.au/playstation-plus-electronic-…
Gerry. Not even once.
HN gift cards are 7% cashback @ Shopback. Get a $50 gift card to save $3.50 which makes the PS plus under $50.
Bought $50 dollar gift card from shopback to buy plus subscription from harvey norman. Placed the order last night and received ordered rejection email in the morning.
If you have a suncorp account, you can buy EB games gift card at 6% off. So total $50.10
Or JB hi Fi at 5% off.
Does anyone think there will be a cheaper deal on this annual subscription before the end of the year? Boxing day?
Wouldn't think so going from the past prices above.
thanks op, grabbed two !!
Lol i bought 2 years worth of PS Plus. Good deal.
Imagine buying the console then paying the same company to be able to play online yearly lmao
People should of boycotted sony as soon as they tried this go to PC master race
Imagine getting good graphics without spending $1500+ on a GPU (which I have done).
I don't play online at all and still bought a PS+ subscription. After a few months I have about 20 really good games so am happy with that.
This attempt at a console vs pc war is not based on much. Tons of people have both these days. If you don't like it don't buy it, but don't be too amazed that other people think differently to you.
he has a point though, if everybody boycotted them when they started charging to play online they would have reverted and other companies wouldn't have followed suit
Honestly the recent free games NOT WORTH the price even with 33% off
back in my day you didn't have to pay a fee to play the playstation online
The discounted price still seems to be valid and I can add it to my cart at $53.30.
All shops (JB, Harvey Norman, EB Game,s etc) have pushed the price back up to full price.
PS now is available in Australia?
