Support NeoGAF

[MaximumSpider]

Wew lad. I don't even play online and the games they've been putting out lately aren't that great. Oh well, I just won't resub.

 

[mjc]

What lmao

Come on Sony, come on.

 

[RetroDLC]

Currency flux.

 

[Kill3r7]

Stock up on PS+ cards now folks. I still have a bunch left over from the Target BF sale from a few years back.

 

[tilomite!]

This had to be coming eventually. At least it's a few days after my sub is due for renewal.

 

[hydruxo]

The new pricing reflects the current market conditions while enabling us to continue providing exceptional value to our members.

That's their justification? Really?

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

this is dumb.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

And why? Because they can get away with it?

That is exactly why.

Ok, with this I can actually see them going lower than 299 with Slim. The WSJ article stated that they especially want to increase subscription numbers. I guess it's a huge revenue stream for them.

Not happy about this at all...

 

[topplehat]

I don't feel like the last year of games have really been worth my sub...this better bring some real improvements.

 

[The Elite]

Any way to check your PSPlus expiry date online?

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

People will buy it easily. People love to play online.

Just wish I could cross-section the posters who said they'd never pay for online last gen when MS raised XBL prices and see how many are OK with it now.

 

[Tregard]

Welp, glad I got Overwatch on PC now

 

[Greatest Ever]

Damn, I remember being pissed at Microsoft for this last gen. Hopefully we see some tangible improvements.

I'll likely still pay anyway, a lot of my Vita library is practically hostage to this.

 

[realwords]

Hope this isn't considered spam, but for anyone looking to stock up, you can get a 12 month code or two here for $37.99 with the code "THANKYOU".

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Will the quality of "free" games and overall security of PSN increase alongside the price? Because if not, they can shove it.

 

[Balb]

Knew this was coming eventually. Better stock up on cards before the increase.

 

[Guymelef]

You have to paid the price for 2 step verification...

 

[DeathSparks]

LOL no, glad I stop renewing my PS+ subscription.

 

[Bolivar687]

Cool , I can't wait to hear how my membership benefits will justifiably increase with this price adjustment.

 

[Bad_Boy]

5 bucks a month. whatever.

:[

 

[Vashetti]

With this increase, is there at least any chance that they'll let us "keep" the PS+ free monthly games even if the sub expires (ala XBL)?

XBL only lets you keep the 360 games.

 

[Draft]

Thanks a lot, Microsoft. First for making it OK to charge people for P2P matchmaking, then for being such a colossal failure Sony has no competition and can increase prices at their whim.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Psvr experiences I bet.or maybe even psnow?

 

[D1renegade]

The return of arrogant Sony?

Looks like I might give up MP... Hopefully eBay continues to come through with those discounted cards.

 

[dealer-]

That's their justification? Really?

lol sounds legit.

 

[Otakumegane]

And you still require PS Plus for online.

And yet people will gladly pay for it because they're so inured by paying for Xbox Live.

 

[Toki767]

How much is Xbox Live in comparison

The same price now.

Xbox Live Gold has been $60 for years.

 

[jbug617]

How much is Xbox Live in comparison

Same price but usually can get it on sale for $40

 

[jwk94]

So instead of making a new post, they updated their post from July 27th? Wow.

 

[KennyLinder]

Well its gotta include

PS3
PS4
PSP
VITA
PSP 3

Dem PSP3 games won't pay for themselves.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Lol. Glad I stop paying Plus for a while.

 

[nickfrancis86]

Any word on a similar increase in other regions? UK specifically.

 

[Flare]

Yea, no, fuck this.

 

[Aostia]

I've still two years of subscription paid.
Good, otherwise I'd bail out: I don't play online and their PS4 offering has been very disappointing so far.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Quick somebody give me a $40 PS+ Ebay Link!

 

[Ardenyal]

Sony would be stupid not to ask for more.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

The cost of PSN name change functionality.

 

[Roldan]

BTW, brazillian PS+ subscription will have its price increased as well. Going from R$100 to R$130.

 

[Trago]

HAHAHAHA!

Seriously??

 

[Kouriozan]

Yeah, I'm not paying 60€ per year for some indies, gonna let my sub expire this time.

 

[Blanquito]

Same price but usually can get it on sale for $40

And you can't with ps+?

 

[jelly]

Name change then?

Does anyone pay they full price, Xbox live is never the full whack if you shop around.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

im gonna guess sept 22 is the slim's release date or near it


either way

TRASH

 

[AP90]

Ign deals had the psn card for $40 recently I believe too.. Maybe the price increase is to help subsidize the neo??

Hopefully online retailers can keep on selling them for discounted prices.

 

[Vashetti]

I recall monthly subscription prices for the UK increasing by a pound or something last year.

Oh, no idea. I pay by year.

 

[FelipeMGM]

BTW, brazillian PS+ subscription will have its price increased as well. Going from R$100 to R$130.

Yeah, looks like its for all SIEA territories

 

[longdi]

PC master race needs no subs!

I hope Sony will throw in full games or emulated games with this increase.
Sept PS meetings cant come fast enough...

 

[StingX2]

what a terrible birthday present :/

 

[CGwizz]

Drop in quality so lets raise the price !!!!

Probably will never get a subscription ever again.

 

[Neoxon]

Time to stock up on subscriptions, then.
