Ha. Perhaps if you’ve not played any games in the last three years (and that’s one audience, but it’s perhaps not the main subscription audience).

You could say the same about Game Pass, a lot of the games I’ve played there are older titles, in fact they share many of the same games. They’re both good, but when you add in the Sony exclusives it edges it in my opinion, and certainly in terms of volume. But in every other respect Game Pass is better.

Calashnikov Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Where’s the Black Friday PS+ deals at? Asking in here out of laziness. I’m probably only after the doss standard vanilla regular shite. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 25% off across the board from Sony, if you pick up cheaper credit from the likes of cdkeys and shopto you can pick up Premium 12 months for just under £66, Extra about a tenner less than that I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Just now, Calashnikov said: Thanks. But regarding the quoted, why on earth would anyone want to do that? Because it’s about £33 cheaper, and I’d say the extra tenner - a year - is worth it for the classics catalogue and streaming, it’s not even £1 a month so hardly worth thinking too hard about IMO. If you just want Extra though then go for that and save the tenner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works out at £2.50 more a month than basic PS Plus, but there are several hundred games you can download or stream, including some PS5 ones. Pretty good deal really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minion Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Wow this is shady as fuck. I upgraded to extra when Stray came out as it was a few quid which seemed like a nice deal. Now I would like to renew with just essential with the 25% discount and quelle surprise it won't let me, oh I can upgrade and get the 25% or I can be stuck with Extra for another year for £63. Absolute scumbags, I'm going to think on it before deciding now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcee Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Yeah I also encountered this fuckery with the 25% only applicable to whatever tier you're currently on. So I've just set it to cancel instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kenny Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Looks like I can upgrade to Premium for 50 quid for the remaining 500 days of my plus subscription. It's obviously not getting a lot of love in here, but that is pretty tempting. Even though I have a Gamepass subscription that I almost never use . Still there's two Ys games and Returnal on there that I haven't played, that's worth 50 quid right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Those two Ys games and Returnal are on Extra, I think, so you might not even need Premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I think having Premium is worth it, there’s another 90+ titles in the classics catalogue, and that’s not including the PS3 games which you get too via streaming. For 10 pence a day on that upgrade it’s a no brainier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kenny Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I've upgraded from Essential to Premium, as @Stanley says, you can't argue with 10p a day! Now to download a load of games and never play them! Living the dream. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quest Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana has been removed from Extra with no warning. There was an updated PS5 version of the game released last week, but I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinbee Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I've had PS Plus for a couple of years, since buying a PS4 Pro. It's due to renew at Xmas, and I may as well upgrade to 'Extra' as it's a cheaper way of playing The Last Guardian than actually buying it. What's the best way to upgrade and take advantage of the Black Friday offer? Did I read it right further up that you can't level up to a different tier straight away, that you can only puchase the same tier you're already on?

Log in to someone’s PS5 (as a guest is fine) and you can claim The Last Guardian and a bunch of other games as PS Plus games and keep them forever on your normal sub. I’m happy to do it for you remotely if you want to change your password/change it back. It’s worth doing even if you do end up getting Extra, as they’ll stay on your account even if you drop back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can level up you just can’t level down so in your case going from basic to extra is fine. Pick yourself up some cheap credit from shopto or cdkeys etc. and then take advantage of the 75% offer for Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
