The Vita itself is no longer supported. Only PS4 and PS5 are currently supported by Sony.

 

I think I'll try out the deluxe sub, since PS Now is not yet available here.

Does this mean that if you buy PS Now before the change you effectively get premium ps+ at a discount?

[fbdbh]

It comes down to this: if they add trophies to PS1/PS2/PSP games, I’m buying the shit out of this. Otherwise, I’ll just buy the mid tier for a month when I have the most days off.

[J2VLegacy]

I might go with the higher tier depending on what classic games are on there.

I'm curious if you're grandfathered in.  I just renewed Plus and Now myself so I'd hope someone in that situation would just get the highest tier until the date they effectively paid for the last one, whichever it was.  In my case, Now is a month off of Plus, so like, maybe I lose it for that last month.  I have no idea, I'm over thinking it.  I just know when I moved up my Switch Online it got messed up, so hopefully this won't be something similar.

can't wait too see how pricey these new tiers are in Australia, also the Countries that never had ps now like Aus, do we get those games too or still are left out?

I was hoping to get brand new games in the new service like in Xbox Game Pass, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Well, it's basically the merging of two, in my opinion, rather mediocre services (Plus and Now) into one expensive mediocre service. I don't see the improvement for the players what this restructuring should have.

You may have to do it via physical psnow cards if you can find a store that still has them(thankfully i found a 3 month card at a local retro game/trading card/comic book shop i occasionally visit about an hour ago so now i just have to buy a 1 year plus sub once my 2 10$ psn code i got at swagbucks comes in and im set for a year) as they seem to have removed the 1 and 3 month options from the store because sony is greedy and they knew people would buy years now subs in advance had they not pulled the option the same time they announced the service.

[Baranov_925]

Pay us more - we'll give you more. Just like in brothels. ?

Besides, no matter if I buy this Premium version, I'll still be complaining that I have nothing to play. (same as women complain that they have nothing to wear.)

The 2 higher tiers are too expensive for my wallet so I'll pass.

Jim Ryan 2021: no one wants to play old games

 

Jim Ryan 2022: here's a premium paywall so u can play older games

"As this is a massive launch effort, we’re rolling out the new PlayStation Plus offering in a phased regional approach. In the June timeframe, we’ll begin with an initial launch in several markets in Asia, followed by North America, Europe and the rest of the world where PlayStation Plus is offered"

 

 

Does that mean the UK will get this last? Or will everyone have it by June.

As a subscriber to both PS+ and PS Now, not a lot will change for me I think. Hopefully they will not seize this opportunity to axe some stuff in the name of progress.

Is it really that surprising they are overcharging for their mediocre service?

 

Also, it is paid, not payed(that is for nautical use)

[djb5f]

Definitely sticking with the base plan.  I really get Plus to be able to play online (mandatory).  The monthly PS Plus games, cloud storage, and sales are just nice-to-haves.

 

Never really had any interest in PSNow.  I have an ample backlog of games I really want to play (bought on sale) before I’d realistically get to anything on PSNow.

I'll be sticking with the standard plan in the future for the discounts and games.

 

Bummer about PS3 games being streamed (I feel with a bit of time and effort they could figure something out) but having PS1/PS2/PSP games is a nice addition. 

[MD_91]

Don't know why people were expecting a gamepass competitor, Sony actually have more than 2 exclusives that people are willing to pay for and they've made it pretty clear in the past they aren't capable of making PS3 games downloadable

I’m curious if you can upgrade for a month, prorated or otherwise, and then revert to your existing membership. I would like to play some PS3 games.

• PlayStation Plus Deluxe (Select Markets) For markets without cloud streaming, PlayStation Plus Deluxe will be offered at a lower price compared to Premium, and includes a catalog of beloved classic games from the original PlayStation, PS2 and PSP generations to download and play, along with time-limited game trials. Benefits from Essential and Extra tiers are also included. Local pricing will vary by market.

they will put all 20 PS classic games ?

[blake__306]

I would be hyped if PS1 games like Metal Gear Solid and Legend of Dragoon received trophy support. I could think of so many more games that need trophies. 

[Mizz]

going to wait and see how it turns out but I'll likely not buy any of the tiers  

[Lance_87]

The official PlayStation newsletter confirms that nothing will change for PS3 and Vita PS+ features.

[GoonerLukeThe]

looks pretty cool tbh, shame about the streaming only for ps3 games because my internet isn't fast enough and hopefullly like others have said the older games get trophy support, that would be awesome

[WiktorM101]

Looking at PS Now current line up i would buy 1-2 months of Ps Plus Extra just for games like Shadow Complex, Costume Quest 2, Pixel Piracy, Carmageddon, Velocity 2X.

They don't go on sale often, are pricey and mostly don't require DLC to 100%.

PS Now is not available in my country but PS Extra problably will be (last tier with streaming probably not).

This rebranding is perfect way to make PS Now users pay more and push 'Extra' part to places where Now wasn't available without problems of opening new servers for streaming PS3 games.
