Yep, title is misleading…
Not necessarily misleading, just lacking lots of essential info.
Needs a Premium Deluxe title upgrade Now before the trial leaves
Getting in before they lose COD, no one gonna sign up after that….
They’re not losing it for at least several more years, and Microsoft intends to keep CoD on PlayStation indefinitely.
MS pitched COD to stay on PS for 10 years and Sony has even rejected that.
PS won't be satisfied for anything less than indefinite which they probably won't get.That was before it as court.
They also said that for Bethesda titles.
Even if it was losing cod, I have PlayStation Plus primarily for the monthly games and library, and not for online play. I have had my PS5 for 2 years and the only time I have played online was when I first fired up Cod MW2, as it was still installing single player, after that, haven't touched it. Online gaming is not my thing.
I like that it has introduced me to a lot of games I would not have otherwise played.
Sony should take the lead and make Online multiplayer free. Take Playstation Plus back to it's roots and be only about monthly games since that what it started as and is its main selling point.
Havent bought a COD game in about 5+ years and only ever bought them when they got cheap. Played warzone maybe twice and just cant get into it. There are so many battle royal games I dont think Sony would miss it. Microsoft would probably lose more by not having it on PS really.
Sony disagrees with you. Significantly.
$155pa ultimate pass. Hm, maybe if it was another 40% off first. They seriously overestimate how much time I have available to play.
Especially when several games leave the catalogue after only a few months with minimal warning
Gottem
Deluxe 12 Month Subscription
$154.95$114.95 (-25%)
Extra 12 Month Subscription$134.95$94.95 (-29%)
Essential 12 Month Subscription$79.95$39.95 (-50%)
For those unaware,
Unlike other regions, Australia's top tier 'Deluxe' does not have game streaming and ps3 classics.
Here's a comparison between the Australian tiers.Ouch
I'm seeing higher prices. Like $99.99 for extra…
Anybody who hasnt signed up to JBHifi perks can also use the $10 coupon to get a $10 PS gift card for a further discount
Did you try this? Pretty sure gift cards are excluded from perks coupons.
Well i did it last night and it came by email after about 10 mins. Then used it to buy a few games from the PS store straight away. No idea about the terms for the $10, but it worked for me.
Works for inactive accounts if anyone is wondering. Mine ran out last week so good timing. I agree that it's still questionable value though…
Mine lapsed in November, I'll probably try another year for $40 🤔
I did not use it at all for 1st year, mine expired. Can give it a try, all I play these days is HFW which doesn't have a multi player.
Mine expired few weeks ago. Wonder if it'll work?
It will if its expired
Did not work for me, shows 80$
I have the option to buy for $40. My Plus expired on the 28th November.
Is there any way I can play a PS2 game, without have a PS2, I have a PS4?
No unfortunately. There are some ps1 and ps2 games on the PS store that you can play though.
Not with ur ps4, but you can try with emulators on a pc
With people mentioning it worked for inactive account, not just new.
My sub has been inactive for while but I'm not sure how you activate this.
The banner can't be clicked or lead anywhere. i thought it might apply at check out but no luck.I second this. Inactive since last month. Doesnt give me the discount
inactive since July and it doesn’t give me the discount either.
Mine comes up on the psplus tab after I log into my ps5.
Try playing a game that takes you to online features.
PS Plus expired 2 days ago. Bought Elden Ring - started it but it started looking for matchmaking and multiplayer - then it triggered the renewal at $39.95.
Just clicked ok without really thinking.
Same price as the Black Friday deals the other week, except those worked with current subscriptions
This is better for Essential though similar for the others. Essential was $59 during Black Friday.
Bummed this doesn't seem to work for inactive accounts as well as new ones.
Other comments saying their inactive accounts are working for this deal. maybe have another look?
Been inactive for a couple of months and got it
Went to PS store and subscribe, then the essential 12 month option was 50% off
I’m currently active on Essentials and have never tried Extra or Deluxe. Went on the PS App on phone and the discount is applying for every tier
Is it better to add another year of Essential and then upgrade to Extra? Or does it workout to be the same?
As in, you successfully tried to check out at that price or it's just showing discounted in the products catalogue?
Actually now that I checkout, Essential reverts back to $80 but upgrading to Extra and Deluxe still applies the discount. I guess because I’m technically a new customer for those two. Bummer
I completely missed out on the BF sale, so this is opportune, while having said that, I don't think I even played more than 3 games on the PS5 in 2022. I put a 2TB SSD in, still waiting for the games (sic).
From memory, I signed up to last year's Black Friday sale.
For those having trouble, (The PS store is archaic) I used the PS app to navigate through to the subscriptions/Manage Subscription page(s).
You have to go into "Learn More" and so on, about 8 menus deep to get to the Subscription page that gives you the 1/3/6/12 Month option.You can also use the Account management pages, but the discount doesn't show up until it goes into the 'shopping cart' stage.
Funnily enough I just renewed mine as it expired a few days ago, open OZB and this is on the front page. Good timing for mine to expire!
Mine expired 8/12 yet I was playing multiplayer last night. Can confirm the price showed up for me at $39.95
Apparently, still 50% if you stack on 12 months!
Argh I resubbed a week ago for monthly to transfer over my game saves onto my ps5 and now I can't even use this deal.
Just purchased 2 years for $39.95 per year. Thanks OP. OP please update post, offer till 11.59pm Dec 20th
Curious how you did this, on the website, ps app? I can't see this at all.
On the PS app. It then opens a new window in your browser to sign in
Even on the app it comes up as $79, I can't see it.
Also wondering how you stack it? Thanks anyway@pdcm: Do you have a current subscription? This only works if you're a new subscriber or have an existing expired subscription. Once you sign in, go to the plan that you want and click proceed. The discounted price only showed in the next screen. You need to make sure you've signed into your PS account otherwise it will always show the full price. To add on extra years just repeat the process. I've now got a subscription till 12/2025 for $120
@AliensStoleMyMoney: In the PS App, I went to the PS store. Once in the PS store, I clicked on the PS plus logo up the top. It showed up as full price at first. I then selected the Essentials plan. It asked me to then sign in. After signing in, the prices then updated to the 50% off prices. You should see the discounted prices before you select your payment method.
@cynical17: Nice one on getting subbed up to 2025!
Yep, mine expired since Feb and I am logged in. Tried on the site, app and on the ps5 but no luck.All good and appreciate you replying in detail. I will try support tomorrow ;)
@pdcm: @cynical17
no good shows the same might email support and say i can't get the discount :) wanted extra (apparently deluxe is pointless in AUS)
@AliensStoleMyMoney: Sorry can't help you more. Just letting you know that I was signed into the app, and only saw the full price. After choosing the plan, I was then asked to sign in again. Only after the 2nd time of signing in that I saw the discounted prices. Good luck with support
@cynical17: Yeah its still showing full price @cynical17 I tried support and they escalated it and said I will hear back within 2 business days (was hoping they'd give me a 40 dollar credit and I just buy it full price)
@AliensStoleMyMoney: Ha, they told me the same thing, hopefully hear back in 2 days and they sort it out.
@pdcmelb: Hopefully it's only 2 days. You've got till the 20th before this offer expires, so it should be plenty of time.
@cynical17: @cynical17@PCMelb
they fixed it gotta go app then see available promos/membership options then add to cart
showing as full price…. expired sub since august.
Looked at the deal in the PS store and thought $100 was too much but still seeing plenty of PS5 games I really want to play in the catalogue. Then buy $100 worth of games, half are cheap ps4 ones and half ps5 decent ones… Sometimes me and common sense don't agree lol
If you can stack this deal multiple times, and the upgrade cap still applies it becomes amazing value…how?
Because there is a cap when upgrading to ps plus extra and deluxe from the essential ps plus. I think it was $185 deluxe and $135 for extra.
Catch is you need to stack 10 - 15 years (who's willing to do that?!?!) to get some great value (imo)
So if you say for example stack 10 years…
at $40×10= $400 + $185 deluxe upgrade = $585 / $58.50 a year for the deluxe tier instead of $155×10 = $1550 RRP (62.25% discount)Or 15 years…
At $40×15= $600 + $185 deluxe upgrade = $785 / $52.33 a year for the deluxe tier instead of $155×15 = $2325 RRP (66.24% discount)You can just opt for the extra tier but using the examples provided, $50 more for the deluxe tier spread over 10 - 15 years, becomes $5 - $3.33 a year to make that upgrade finally worthwhile for me.
So here is the hidden deal in the comments:
If you are eligible for this $39.95 deal consider this.
It appears you can stack the $39.95 deal multiple times even after you sign up once. This combined with 15% off Ultimate gift cards at Coles (redeem Ultimate for Ebgames vouchers online, then buy PS plus gift cards online with those Ebgames gift cards). This comes to $34 per year for PS plus (essential level).
After you take the deal up once on the PS store fir the first time, scroll down to where it says Buy again and save ($39.95 for the next 12 months). Stack multiple years, and as mantrex suggests if you are interested in the higher tiers you can finally upgrade to a higher level at a good price once you have stacked many years. If not, this offer still allows a great price for numerous PS Plus years if you can pay in advance.
I was going to factor in this method, but its just the availability of the gift card I wasn't certian on as they are sold out at my 2 nearest coles.
But like you mentioned this deal only gets better if you can utilise the 15% cards, given people are willing to stack for multiplte years.
I contacted support.
They were confused about why the discount wasn't going through at checkout as it should be working (lapsed account since Feb).
So they have passed it on to be checked. So hopefully they can sort that out before the promo ends. Good to see it works for others though.Paid $60 2 weeks ago and barely used it. I guess I'll keep it in mind next year that Sony may do a better deal post black friday.
Signed up for Essential during Black Friday sale, but it's offering a discount to upgrade tiers. I can get 350days of PS Extra for $52.88 or PS Deluxe for 72.12.
Normally $134.05 or $154.95 respectivelyCurious as to how many people use PS Plus to play online multiplayer games, or whether you subscribe purely for the games? I just don't see the value in it, even at 50% off, but maybe that's just me…
(if you do play online multiplayer then it's a decent deal, of course)
BTW for those who don't know: there's a fair few free-to-play MMO games where you don't need PS Plus to play online, e.g. Warzone II, DMZ, Fortnite, Armored Warfare, World of Tanks etc. This surprised me, I wasn't expecting that at all and it makes PS Plus seem even more superfluous.
The cloud saves, ps plus discounts, along with the free (rented?) monthly games and followed by a little bit of multiplayer. For me, $40 a year / $3.33 a month I see as great value.
I do have a massive catalogue of ps plus claimed games that I have access to, which adds more value to this and is great…whats bad is that I don’t really own these games.
Thought this was going till 20 December? Discounts no longer showing up in the app
It is still there, goto the shop button then scroll to the right on the top from 'latest' to 'subscription' (just after ps5). Banner is there… just doesn't apply that price for me lol.
Yep it’s gone, at least for me anyway. It was showing up there yesterday with discounted price, now it’s back to full price
This is bugged world wide… Lots of people saying its not working for them.
I'm one of them Shows as full $79.95 price even when not logged into my account.Did anyone that raised a ticket with support hear about the issue?
Got a reply, after having to include photos showing it not working on my ps5, and they have said they have "escalated your case for further investigation".
Hoping to hear back before it finishes.Did you get the same generic reply as user below?
Got a hand off reply from support
Thank you for contacting PlayStation Support.
I understand that you are trying to take advantage of the PlayStation Plus December promotion, but are being presented with the full price when attempting to complete this purchase.
We are aware of this issue and we apologise for any inconvenience. This is being investigated as a matter of urgency and we hope to have this resolved very soon. The promotional offer is available until December 20th, so please try this again at a later time
prob won't be getting it
I'd like to take advantage of this deal but my current subscription expires on the 20th of Dec. Anyone else in the same boat?
I purchased my PS5 a few days ago now and when I was looking to get a PS Plus subscription to start downloading some of the games it gives access to, and finally start using the system, I ran into the same issue a lot of people have been whether I'm on my main account which lapsed sub in 2020 or on a freshly made one.
After a few days of trying to contact support and trying tirelessly to get the deal working somehow I managed to get in contact with someone from customer service earlier this morning and after explaining my plight, and sending them screenshots of the issue all they had for me was an apology. They said that all they could do was refer my issue to a "specialist team" who'll contact me via email at a later date.
Three days deep into trying to setup my fxcking console and it's still ongoing!
Are you kidding me Sony what a massive fall from grace, even the promotions are bugged lmao guess I'm in for a treat when I finally get to play one of their "next gen" games.
I had an original Playstation and experienced some amazing console launches since that first one as a young child, this all truly seems ridiculous if I put myself back in that perspective.I absolutely refuse to pay $150 aud for what I'm aware should cost me $94.95 if I purchase it within 3 days from now.
It's just accumulated to being the worst console purchase experience I've had hands down, you'd think shit like this would be ironed out over 2 years after launch, I mean considering they're a 150 billion dollar company…
Heads up to anyone who like me had a lapsed sub and couldn't see the offer.
I tried again randomly on the site and it show sup now, also on the app the info for the tiers and pricing has changed, before it wasn't showing the saving %.
Give it a go, thanks for the people who tried helping.Only issue is it didn't let me stack it like some people, no worries though, just glad it worked. Good luck oz bargainers.
Playstation fixed this on the app atleast go to see availabile membership then see promos and then add 12 months to cart and it dhows up
Thanks OP, worked on my account (expired a month ago)
Discount didn't show up until sub was in the shopping cart thoughNot working for me at the moment :(
Any workarounds?Hooooly shit it's working, Hallelujah!
^Eccend are you trying on the PS App? It seems to be working on there for me now finally, although it's saying $104.95 for 12 months of Extra instead of $94.95, that's likely due to the fact I'm from NZ and Sony of course wouldn't allow me to relocate to another country and actually change my region upon doing so, that'd be preposterous.
Yep, unfortunately it still shows it as full price for me :(
Works for me on the app now. Bought the Essential sub plan. No stacking for a multi-year sub though unfortunately (next payment date being 18/12/2023).
@brotherfranciz same for me. I just checked and it works in the app. Unable to stack tho :(
Where in the PS app can you view the PS plus subscription options?
Edit: I found it but it's not showing the costs so I can't tell if it's discounted or not.
It will only show if you are not currently a member. Once I re-joined, today, I can no longer see the 50% promos when signed in.
New memberships only.
Not renewals.
