SkyMason Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Tbh, this is only going to encourage people to use other sites like cdkeys for the discount (though the prices of those sites will probs go up as well). The more the price goes up the more annoying it gets that we can't just pay a base price just to access online multiplayer. It's been AGES since the PS+ games felt worth it in the slightest.

I thought you'd be fine with it, just wanted to check I get a lot of value from PS+ with the IGC, psn discounts and the cloud save storage so it's not the end of the world but obviously I'd rather they have kept it at £40 not £50 but like you I'll still subscribe, I'll just be waiting for a sale on the subscription cost in future.

Cleggworth Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Lame. After the price increase in NA I guess it was only a matter of time though. I'll stack a few subs before the increase and worry about it in a few years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 What next? do we have to pay a fee so our PSN internet wont be throttled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Well, this sucks. They didn't even give us a reason? Even if it's a bullshit answer, I still expected one. PS+ used to be a no-brainer; it was a great deal, there's no doubt about it. Things aren't as clear these days, though, especially for someone who doesn't play many online games like myself. I mean it's probably still well worth the money assuming they don't completely shit the bed with the PS+ games they offer, but I think most people agree that it's not what it used to be. The cloud saves and extra discounts are nice of course, but it feels like these things are being held to ransom just to make PS+ seem more attractive. The same could be said of the online multiplayer too I guess. The true value of PS+ lies in its monthly games offerings, so I hope we continue getting good games every now and then. I realise that it's too much to ask for the offerings to get better with this price increase. I went ahead and bought another year of PS+ while it's still cheap. At least I won't have to deal price hike with this until 2019. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoo_eyes Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Well, this blows. Thankfully I recently renewed up to 2019 while the discount was going on. Hopefully there´ll be that sort of deal again (although I have my doubts), as all those sites that offer ps plus from other regions never carry any portuguese ones...

There are deals online for PS+ from time to time, maybe once or twice a month. PS+ is worth it solely for the big discounts you get on some games, good ones too. $60/yr isn't a big deal.

locoporkko Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 My question is with the price increase the plus will put better games for all platforms, because putting a game on ps3 2007 has a crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntenseFATE98 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Looks like I won't be re-subbing when mine expires. Oh well, might as well use this as an excuse to play more SP games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AffectatiousDonk Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) I'm good with the increase, brings it in line with Xbox and to be honest Xbox gold + the game pass is all over Sony now. Maybe the extra $ will help them to dump PlayStation Now and invest in a Xbone gAme pass style offer. Edited July 28, 2017 by CjShai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaTrash Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'd say stop neglecting your ps3 and vita users before you increase the price. The vita and PS3 offerings have been nothing short of insulting for the last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meacham Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Will pay it regardless no doubt. I play quite a few multi games on the PS4. Also, the past few months and next we've had Until Dawn, Tales from the Borderlands and Just Cause 3. If paying an extra £10 mean getting more AAA titles than I'm all for it.

A-SunSai-A Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Happy that I still have 2,5 years of + subscription left. If the 10 euro increase means they will bring better games then I don't mind the price increase. More money should equal better games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colia100 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Honestly, we moan and complain, but at the end of the day the overall majority (including myself...) will just swallow it and renew their subscription cause playing these days without online functionalities is just not that fun considering all the coop and mp fun to be had. They know this! And so they up the price incrementally region per region and see very well that the benefits ($) outweigh the few that do not renew. Simple maths to them... As long as they keep the free games on par with the last couple of months, I'm good with it. I would rather pay 60 bucks for some good triple A games, than 50 bucks for a slow but sure neverending trickle of shitty indie games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally i dont go for deals cause my local store will match or beat them with physical copies and normally i dont care about the free games they pitch. Now recently they been doing good but we will see if it continues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 What the fuck? This is shit! I'm almost about to not subscrube to PS+ anymore. This is fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraTanium Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Guess it's time to purchase a year or 3 in advance before the 31st like many others. I was very comfortable at 50 a year. Not that 60 is that much more it's just that little bit extra they want to wring out of their userbase. What PSN upgrades are we going to get this time with the money they make. If they introduce name changing in firmware 5.0 we'll know why they're charging extra ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damage_6-9 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Personally, I'm fine with it.... works out to less than 84 cents a month extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidJD Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 What annoys me most about this, it isn't the price increase, it is the fact they aren't explaining why they are doing it. I don't mind paying it as people just see PS+ for the free games but there are other benefits. I use the cloud saves a lot and also the auto downloads so using the majority of the features. Would just be nice to know why being increased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closertim Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Its still the same price annually for me so I don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the PlayStation Store of course I'm going to continue to pay for it because I play multiplayer games on my PS4, so I don't really have a choice. I think it would be better if they charged a smaller price just for the use of their multiplayer service and then an additional price for anyone interested in the 6 games a month. That way, anyone just wanting the multiplayer wouldn't have to pay as much and anyone still wanting to get the games will pay extra. Which would be the normal full price its at now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
