I would bite on this but the current PS Now library doesn't really interest me that much. Hopefully the path sticks around until they announce more games for the new PS+ tiers. If I like the game list then, I'll bite
Oh come on now. This was even available on PS5 with the official apps.
Sony can't call it an hack and they won't, because it's all their fault and nothing needed to be done other than using the stick and X button of the DualSense to get there on PS5. It was hidden, but still visible with normal navigation. Anyone calling that a hack will get laught out of the room by the consumers lawyer.
I took that post to mean he is laughing at the article as well. He has evolved from the "doom and gloom" routine he was doing yesterday and now for some reason has flipped sides and is promoting this deal.
you just had to best me with the most years gained huh? lol your really tempting me to add on two more years.Ok I'm done, my sub now ends 11/18/2032. My PS+ ends in 2027 (all purchased for half off at CD Keys), so even if Sony does give + Essential subscribers an easy upgrade path to Premium, I'm still getting the half off price after my + Essential subscription expiration date.

The funny part is people in this thread are saying we are crazy adding on a decades worth when in reality you and I are pretty similar (well my half off years from cdkeys ends 2026, not '27) and are just buying 4-6 cards( only $240 instead of paying $480) and we are going to get hundreds of dollars (if not in the thousands) off the free games from plus and now in those years.It's actually really smart to do if you have the money for it.
Yeah, you should be able to. Minus any overlap time that your current PS+ covers.Hold on...can I just, cancel my recurring PS+, get this deal for PS Now, and then get the benefit of the $120/year subscription for just the $60?

Better question is, how long does yous current PS+ subscription last? If it's almost expired, then turn the reoccurring off and jump in this deal.
Besides a few exclusives the PS Now catalogue is really poor. I wanted to play but there's nothing there I already played. Hopefully this changes in June.
"What are some of the games that are going to be in this new PlayStation Plus?
Jim Ryan: "I'm going to play a little hard to get on that one, but I can tell you for free that we have massive publisher participation in this program. We have all of the big names present. We obviously have PlayStation Studios present. We have big publishers, we have small indie publishers. We have over 200 partners working with us to put their content into PlayStation Plus. So the lineup is going to be really strong."
I think you're a prime candidate for this deal. Only a little bit wasted overlap with the new plans in June. That's if you have any interest in the PSNow offerings, the new classics, and continuing PS+, that is.My PS+ expires on June 25th, so not sure if I should jump on this deal or not?
They will.Sweet, TY. Just making a note here to turn off auto-renew. It'll be weird without PS+ for a month. Hopefully all the PS+ games will come back to me once the new sub rolls over.
Exactly, I realized about this only today, it's crazy they didn't show any upgrade plan for currently users that have PS Plus, which are the majority of it.This is where I'm at. I've got 2 years of PS+ stacked so worst case I pay another $60 to upgrade to premium which is no money lost compared to this deal. Best case they give me a discount and let me upgrade for like $50. But I don't feel comfortable throwing money at this deal hoping they'll somehow honor my extra PSNow and PS+ combined time, because I don't think they will.
That might also be why something like this will most benefit you. PS Plus/Now will never do day 1 games. They have said that. So by the time you get to them you might have them offered on Now or Plus and may never have to buy a game again. Just something to think about.Just checked and I am good on PS+ until November and that is from like 3 years back when there was some kind of deal.
So even though it means I may miss out on this type of pricing in the future, I am going to hold off and see how this shakes out first for sure.
Limited time to game on my end is the primary reason as to why I am holding off. I struggle to make time to play new releases, nevermind revisit previously released games.
Where do you check this?
That's where it should be.Where do you check this?
Is it the Subscription Management thing? Every time I click that it says I have no subs at this time which isn't true.
Weird stuff. Even before today it didn't work.
You can also check an individual game from PS+, in it's details, it's expiration date is the end date of your PS+ sub.Where do you check this?

Sony sneak attack. They are locking in some people for years that might have otherwise not stayed subscribed.
I just got an email from Playstation saying my subscription has started.
I signed up yesterday. Maybe they are getting swamped with new subscriptions?

If you're ok with someone else logging into your account to download games to play on their own profile then you can currently game share and probably will still be able to after the convergence. Not quite as slick or safe as game sharing on Xbox but works ok with a trusted friend/family member.Shame it probably won't have Game Sharing like GamePass, I'd be able to split the price further with a friend. I was mainly only interested in the mid tier sub, and this turns out to be cheaper than that
I don't know how game sharing works on Xbox and this probably isn't as slick, but sharing PS+/Now/your library in general is still extremely easy and I've done it for years with my brother. I have my account set-up on his console. He can just log in, download whatever he wants, log out and play on his own account. You just need to make sure you only do this with someone you actually know.Stacked four years, with one of those years being wasted since I have ongoing PS sub until Sept 2023. So basically, 3 years of savings. May add another just in case.

Shit, now you have me thinking of upping three extra years too, lol. Currently PS+ to 2024 and with Now part of the '30s gang.Just re-upped to 11/26/2032 (almost to '33 baby and probably will be if the extra years of plus convert/add on to your sub as they should). I couldn't let you be the one who benefited most from this thread/deal lol. Your move. Do you want to reup more or do you want to fold. Anyway I don't need to buy a subscription to anything for the rest of the PS5 life cycle and I'm well into PS6's life by now too. lol
Since it's 10:30 PST and well into the work morning I guess this is really hard to remove on their end or if this was planned.
How would that work exactly? There probably isn't any artificial limit when folks have been able to buy subscription time a month, three months or one year at a time. The service also only keeps count of the date of renewal. I had PS Now until 11/23 before the announcement, and now I have it until 11/24. Where would a sensible "annual subscription term" be here?Tbh... I don't think any of you are going to actually get PS+ Premium memberships past the end of whatever annual subscription term you're in once June hits. All your money is gonna go toward the full-price subs for future years.
I'm extremely hesitant to give Sony any money up front until I've actually tried the service.

I don't think anybody will know for sure, but my guess is you'll have premium for one year and then get demoted to essential.Soooooo... I messed up. I looked at my PS+ sub and saw it expires in June. I thought, "Sweet. I'll get a year of PSNow so when my PS+ expires right when the services merge, it'll just turn into Premium." Bought PSNow, then noticed my PS+ sub was loaded until June 2023. Ugh. Now what's going to happen?
