Just noticed 25% off on playstation plus subscriptions on Playstation Plus Tab on PS5 would assume same on PS4

I checked a non subscription account on my playstation and didn't offer discount, Might be only for expiring accounts? (I have 20 days left)

Couldn't find on Playstation website discount

I'm on extra and can extend one year for $101.21

As I have about a month left said I have to upgrade the remaining time left if want to upgrade to deluxe. For $1.** So not sure what happens if go this route I'm gonna stick with Extra

Could be stacked with best gift cards for extra discount.

Might extend to Essential as well, although I cannot see on my options

    My PS+ runs out in November. Would we be looking at better prices for "Black Friday"deals do you think?

    • wako on 29/05/2023 - 08:06

      Last black Friday was 25% I'm pretty sure

      Was 33% before the extra and deluxe came out if I remember correctly

      Best prices are usually around June, for PlayStation week or whatever it's called.

    My subs till 2025 and checked no discount. But the usual annual days of play is next month so expect a discount then

  • dwhes on 29/05/2023 - 08:17

    No discount coming out for me but I have a couple of years stacked already.

    This is targeted for expiring account.
    Although I wasn’t that lucky when mine expired.

  • heavyghost on 29/05/2023 - 08:30

    I've got an account that expired last month, no discount appearing for me, bugger.

    perfect timing.
    mine expires in 7 days and this worked

    i tried to buy another 1 year to stack, no discount was showing

    thank you!

    • wako on 29/05/2023 - 08:51

      Yeh the discount was removed for me for extra years…

      Might be a good discount on black Friday can stack?

    The Deluxe and Extra are showing "Upgrade and save" with a discount but Essential is still full price. I am subbed on Essential for another ~1300 days though. Could just be an offer for those looking to upgrade into a higher tier.

  • George2021 on 29/05/2023 - 08:53

    My essential was expiring in 2 weeks and I had autorenew/cancelled my subscription. I received this offer

    My sub expired 2 weeks ago and I don’t have any offers. Sad.

  • trustnoone on 29/05/2023 - 09:17

    Mine ends in 11 days. No emails regarding price reduction. But Extra has 25 Percent off checking now. Rest is normal price for me.

  • bindok on 29/05/2023 - 09:18

    My essential expires in 7 days but no discount for me. I tried using the PS app though.

  • IPYF on 29/05/2023 - 09:30

    If you're wondering about the value of upgrading and extending, just think of it as paying a fair price for the extraordinary Ratchet and Clank, and getting a year or so more of a bunch of other stuff you may or may not play.

    Had 33% discount on renewal offer on Essential through PS Store on the web. Current sub was going to expire next month.

  • wordsmith on 29/05/2023 - 09:57

    I have a US PSN account, sub expired in April, no offers on my account either.

      No offers on my active US account either.

    Is there a reason people are going with this and not creating a Turkey account? I spent about $200 on five years of PSN Premium when the new plans were announced.

    • TextGoesHere on 29/05/2023 - 10:45

        You only need to use the Turkey account to install games, then you can play them on your main account regardless of subscription status. Online works too

        • mitch21 on 29/05/2023 - 13:53

          Its impossible to add a valid payment method. My Turkish subscription expires in one month and I have been trying to add a new credit card (my previous one expired). As part of adding a new card you need to enter a Turkish address, which is the main problem. My CBA credit card and Wise card, even when I change my address in Wise to match the Turkish address, don't work. I have just about given up as I don't have any other ideas.

          • djokerer on 29/05/2023 - 19:46

            @mitch21: This is the problem I have warned people about previously. If anything goes wrong with that foreign account, you’re out of luck. If you then decide to get PS plus on your own account instead, all those games you previously added to your library on the Turkish account are no longer accessible. Worth the savings? Maybe for some, but definitely not for me. Unless you get that Turkish account working again, you will have to kiss all your monthly ps plus games goodbye.
            Not to mention, you can’t gameshare the ps plus with a friend’s console (which essentially cuts the price in half if you split the cost), unless you play using the foreign account and abandon your main.

          • moonphase on 30/05/2023 - 12:57

            @mitch21: You might want to look for gift cards to add money in the wallet then… which is tedious but still it could be cheaper option + use whatever in the sub library

        It takes minutes to do and saves you 60%, if you don't have the time and patience for that you need to turn in your OzB badge

    • netsurfer on 29/05/2023 - 10:46

      A few reasons:

      • People have been through that trick before (different region PSN), Sony closed the loophole in most regions. Will Sony eventually close the Turkey loophole? If so, will you continue to use Turkey PS Plus afterwards?
      • Existing PS Plus monthly game collection. Though this is now less of an issue with PS Plus Extra (since Sony essentially put those games in Extra tier).
      • Save game issue, if you were to get disc version of the games here. Also, you will see 2 copies of the save games for the title(s), can be a bit confusing.
      • Main account doesn't get cloud save (probably a minor issue).
      • Some people still have active PS Plus subscription (not yet ready to switch). If PS Plus Extra or PS Plus Premium are not of interest (due to already collected enough free games from PS Plus previously), PS Plus standard at discounted price may suffice.

      For new PS5 owners, the Turkey method is attractive. It may not be for everyone though. Most of my friends buy physical disc versions of latest games, quickly play, trade in and get the next new release title. They didn't even bother with PS Plus Extra for $3 last time. Standard is fine for them.

      • roseyhead on 29/05/2023 - 11:16

        Interesting, I didn't know saves would be incompatible with local disk versions. Thanks for the perspective

        • netsurfer on 29/05/2023 - 12:06
          +1

          Save games are likely incompatible across regions. It's not just physical versions here. You can get the same issue with digital AU version of the same game. Some games have region save game converter, but most don't. The Last of Us part 1, for me, I am stuck on US digital version (it was $9) even though I also own the PS Plus collection AU digital version.

          I don't like Sony's region + disc vs digital versions. Should really consider Microsoft's approach. The most annoying part of PS4 and PS5 is the disc version and the digital version of the same title are considered different versions so need to re-download. I have purchased a few digital version of the games I used to own the physical version. Every time, I had to download those games again. Can't Sony just do some sort of patch or a flag tweak to convert my download version from physical to digital? Final Fantasy 7 Remake PS Plus is another good example of this mess.

          Initially, Sony said Final Fantasy 7 Remake PS Plus version won't get PS5 upgrade so I went and bought the physical version. Later on, Sony did a 180 and allowed PS Plus version to get the free PS5 upgrade. Naturally, for convenience (no need to insert the disc) and save money (sell the physical version), I would prefer the PS Plus digital version. I had to make multiple calls to Sony PlayStation Support team, I was lucky to get to speak to an Aussie support staff who knows exactly what I was after. He managed to raise a support request to level 2 support to remove my physical disc license completely so I can get the digital PS Plus PS5 upgrade.

          Just my 2 cents:
          I've had no issues with my save games.
          Had the disc version of Wreckfest, Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding directors cut etc.
          I didn't even need to re-download the entire game. Went from disc version to the one from Turkish PS+ sub, just clicked "download" which immediately turned into play and just loaded my previous save games.
          (That's my experience. I do have a Turkish sub but play on second login, which is Australia)

          • netsurfer on 29/05/2023 - 19:45

            @johnmelb: Looks like Turkey uses PAL region, perhaps that's why. In the past, the cheaper PS Plus ones were from regions using NTSC (but this was PS4 Pro days).

            Will try the disc vs digital again later. However, as I mentioned, FF7 remake PS Plus digital version appears to be different and PS5 refused to let me play the digital version without inserting the disc. I actually got FF7 remake PS Plus version (digital) first. Then I bought the disc version. At that time, I already had to download the disc version of the game, then did the upgrade to PS5 version, then delete just the PS4 disc version.

            When Sony did the 180 and allowed PS Plus digital version to get PS5 upgrade, that option is simply not available because Sony felt I have the PS5 upgrade via disc version. I had to get Sony support to delete my physical disc version in order to reclaim. A re-download was also required. So basically, downloaded PS4 versions twice, and PS5 versions also twice.

            I just tested The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered (PS4), same issue. I bought the digital USA version and I played that version on my main AU account. I just went to AU PSN store of that game, click on download, PS5 started to download the AU version of it.

            Good to know Turkey PS Plus doesn't have save game issue (that's the main annoyance with playing US version).

    So the gift cards… Where do we purchase those? Even better if it's in-store, I prefer not adding credit card details on the PS5.

    • netsurfer on 29/05/2023 - 12:07

      JB, EB Games, Harvey Norman, OfficeWorks, AusPost (online) etc…

      For more info, Google: playstation gift cards

      • GTR12 on 29/05/2023 - 12:10

        Aren't they all digital now or can you buy in store still?

          When purchasing in store, you get a printout of the code on the receipt, but stores still give you that little cardboard so it kinda feel physical.

          For online purchases (i.e. from EB games), you just get the digital code. Don't forget you can get discount gift cards for some of those stores and use those gift cards to buy these.

          • GTR12 on 29/05/2023 - 13:30

            @netsurfer: Thanks, I don't want that cardboard thing, just the receipt is fine.

            I've got discounted gift cards waiting already that won't work online as I have 10 or so, hence asking if I can buy in store.

            • wako on 30/05/2023 - 06:33
