Thanks for your help
What's with the attitude? Get off your high horse
He is a lord. Dont they usually ride on horses
You could have easily said nothing. This is a community (sorry for getting all mooshy)
@lordezekiel: maybe this helps then. a brief summary:
1 you sass someone over their question, then sass everyone else for not answering it
2 you get a negative response to your sass, and that leads you to sass everyone for not giving responses
:)
*edit: it doesnt have to be like this you know, you still have time to drop a 'my bad guys' in here, and you'll look like some xen master who is able to control themselves with greater strength than the common man
@lordezekiel: It was answered two comments down, just not directly to the person asking the question.
You missed they have to sign in first, so they can see the price applicable to them.
Was waiting for the 50% 12 month essential discount that had happened the last 2 years at this time of year, still not tempted $ony
New users only by the looks
"Making changes to your membership plan
You can purchase a new membership that will start when your existing plan ends – so if you’re eligible for an unmissable deal on a PlayStation Plus membership, you can take advantage of the special price and keep your membership active for longer. The new membership period will begin as soon as your current plan ends.
To upgrade your membership plan to PlayStation Plus Extra or Deluxe, you just need to purchase a membership at that level. You will pay a pro-rated fee to bring your payments to the level of your new plan for the remainder of the paid membership period.To change from your current plan to a lower tier plan (https://www.playstation.com/en-au/support/subscriptions/chan…), sign-in to the account settings page for your account for PlayStation Network and choose the Subscriptions tab to manage your PlayStation Plus membership plan. Your membership will continue on a lower tier plan after the next payment date."
I'm still trying to work out how to go from Deluxe to Essential at 30% off though..
If you figure it out, please report back. I'm currently Deluxe, but set my account to downgrade to Extra a while ago. It expires next year, but I don't seem to be able to select an option to purchase another 12 months at Extra, only Deluxe, and for full price ($196.95)…
Same. No option to downgrade from Deluxe to any lower tier, unless you pay full price. Even with the black friday subscription deals it was giving issues, sometimes coming up with error just to try click on the deal. Im just gona let it run out. Last few months the PS Plus range has really gone downhill with games available and the ones deleted from catalogue

My Extras sub expires on 23/12. Even if I choose Deluxe, it's only offering me $0.81c to upgrade for the next couple of weeks, then boots me back to $196.95. :/
damn its only for Extra or Deluxe plans. Essentials not discounted
Yep, I regret buying any MP game on PlayStation now. Moving to PC from now on. This is a joke
Extra os where the nice games are.
So the 30% brings it back to the previous RRP.
Not quite but not far off either. Basically inbetween. I paid $115 for deluxe exactly a year ago on special. Now its $137 on the new deal.
I'm currently on the Deluxe tier until February, really only need Essential.
Only seeing pricing for Deluxe - presume pre discount?
1 Month Subscription
$21.953 Month Subscription
$63.9512 Month
$196.95If I do the change option:
Essential: $95.95 for 12 months
Extra: $169.95 for 12 monthsThe cancel option doesn't help either..
I purely just want to play online.
The service is a rip off imo.
Happy to give them 60 a year to solely let me play online similar to ninteneo
I'm pretty sure with the 30% discount that Essential will be in the ballpark of 60 for the 12 months, with the monthly games included.
Except the Essential is not discounted by 30%, but rather 0%.
Isn't it because Nintendo make it up in game cost
If it doesn’t work on accounts with an existing membership, could you create a new account and purchase, to load to the PS5 and then just use with your main account afterwards?
Ah damn, they fixed that??
I still use the ps plus I bought on a dummy account but play online with my main, so that sucks if it doesn’t work now.
No I think it's still the case. I have PS plus deluxe on my account and I just logged in via my wife's PSN account in dragon ball fighterz
You can treat the console as primary on the second account and then all users on the console will have the benefits of the PS plus catalogue
Yes, the benefits extend to all accounts on console. I pay for plus and my kids with their accounts can play online and play the free games I claim monthly.
What a rort - not only did they increase the prices but the essentials tier has been hot garbage lately.
Sony really screwing its user base, first with the Discovery news (they should have had a better contract in place with WB to prevent them just pulling film/tv titles people paid for), and now with garbage prices for PS Plus.
hopefully Jim Ryan's forced retirement will mark a positive change for us
Just cancelled my membership which ended on 9/12 then thought “oh well they’ll never reduce it” and here we are with $59 saving on top of the PS Amazon card bonus cash deal so it ended up being a decent deal. Winner.
What's this PS Amazon Card bonus deal?
during the black friday deals (which im still getting emails so not sure how long the companies think black friday last but anyways) when you bought a $100 gift card on amazon, they gave you an extra $15 gift card 24 hours later for use, so i bought $100 PS plus and then another $15 PS Plus and topped up my account so was basicly $115 for $100.
Op should mention for new accounts or reactivations
Oh Sweet, my sub is due to expire on Friday.
Can confirm that this is for new or reactivations.
My deluxe lapsed a couple weeks ago and is showing that I am eligible for the 30% off on Extra and Deluxe plans.
During their black friday sale I was ineligible for a deluxe membership 30% discount, despite my subscription having already expired.
To get the discount, I subscribed to 12 months of essential and then immediately cancelled/refunded the purchase. After this, their algo determined I was eligible.
Hopefully this helps someone
is it better to wait until they have a 50% off sale?? never subscribed before?
That would mainly be up to you. If you get use from it now, get it now. If it's not urgent, wait.
Never seen 50% off so I would just get it
Maybe just buy a month at a time when you need it or when you like the games on offer?
If you are definitely planning on playing online games that don't have free online for more than 8 months of the year then this deal is a decent option now, 50% is rare - if it ever happens.
Great price to stop my membership
Thanks to the poster!!
Used the $40 off $100 afterpay deal to buy a year with a new account and gift card.
is there a link to this deal?
where did you purchase the giftcard, cannot find it in the app
My PS plus essential ends in 4 days, assuming I can take advantage of this deal after that?
Seems like Essential is not included as part of the 30% off.
What's better Xbox or PS?
Nintendo
Games are way too expensive, and rarely have sales
But the games are cheaper on launch… picked up Super Mario Wonder for $61 on launch week… PS5 first party games launching at $109 this generation and rarely going on sale as well…
@Sidog: Like what? God of war wagnorok was $49 recently. They come down in price greatly, unlike switch which will still be near rrp even if they are old.
Zelda is still over $60 even though the new one is coming out very soon.
Game pass ultimate on Xbox is a tons better deal (if you use the OzBargain hack to get it for pretty cheap for 3 years). I have both Xbox and PS and stopped my PlayStation subscription because of Sony price hikes and limited value. IMO Sony's value nowadays is their first party exclusives that are generally single player only anyway (which doesn't need any subscription). I also think it's generally a joke these days that both Xbox and Sony charge for online multiplayer.
That hack is like posted once a year now.. not the easiest to get.
OP, might want to update the description to remove essential. It isn't included.
With no basic plan sale sony are pricing themselves out of the market for casual player. This is basically 100% more than sales last year.
No more PS+ and online gaming for me after the price hike. Just offline gaming, and it's more than enough for me. No more extra catalog; I only have two discs on hand right now, but it's so much fun when you have limited games. You enjoy them to the fullest. I'm playing Witcher 3 again and going for 100% completion this time. Then, I have Cyberpunk on the list, so there's plenty of gaming time. All thanks to Sony for increasing prices, which made me quit Extra Subscription, and I'm no longer looking back at Essential as well.
Yeah same, stuff Sony. No discounts on the Essential plan this year means I'm done, don't play online with the boys enough on PS5 to bother with it, the value is too poor. I'll just stick to finishing the singleplayer games, won't sub to PS+ again until GTA 6
Same. No subscription till GTA6 if am playing it on console.
Yup absolutely no reason to price gouge on digital products with no overheads for storage or delivery.
Sony can get stuffed and I've owned every PlayStation they've released.
Agreed. Sometimes reducing the amount of choices you have available can work out better.
I completely wasted my current annual sub since I pretty much didn’t play any multiplayer this year, and only played about two PSN Extra titles. Most of the games I played were bought on disc.
Agreed with you all. Nearly $100/year to simply be able to play online is a rort.
I was glad to stack up many years when it was $49
Subbed with Deluxe until late next year, if there was a sale for deluxe I'd top up the subscription. But even I (money is no object, FOMO) am baulking at the current price lol
Probably wouldn't resubscribe to the same tier, could live without multiplayer (essentially just concentrating on MK and Rocket League at this time).
But the game catalog has been handy, starti g with Stray and Demons Souls I've played and finished MANY titles that I was interested in…. but not interested in paying $$$ for. So in tht respect the subscription has been worth it
My renewal just went thru at $79.95 with this message
PlayStation Plus: 12 Month Membership (Subscription) Recurring Subscription Fee: $95.95 will be charged on 07/12/2024
I really felt like I was getting value for money when they Put the Last of Us pt. 1 on the service day one.
Damn. Won't expire till 25 of the month
My essentials subscription ended on 8/12. As a long term subscriber I’m bitterly disappointed like many others with these price increases. I decided to cancel my subscription hoping a discount will apply and it doesn’t apply to essential package. What a way to get shafted!
I have bit the bullet and decided not to renew my subscription. All the best $ony, one less long term member for you. Hope more people join the club.
Damn, what service you using for games now?
Can anyone find/see when the sale is until?
Email offer notification says 17th December 2023
I cancelled my essential plan just recently. Renewal was due at the end of Dec. 50% off may reel me back in..
Apparently Sony want me to let my current subscription to expire.
Essential is now magically included in this sale
@ $67.16It's hilarious that they needed to include it from the backlash they were copping
still showing as $95.95 for me?
Did it show at that price in the cart? My PS plus expired 2 days ago and I'm still seeing full price
@Twitchh
@Steve-o (yes it showed in and prior to the cart for me)30% offer expired 17th Dec.
Can I extend with this deal if I have a current plan?
