Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
And I'm sure everyone is going to be rational about it.
Yikes maybe time to get another year real quick
Well, I was going to drop to Extra on my next renewal anyway I guess.
The premium games I like tend to only cost about €10.00 so I always end up adding them to my library that way. So I don't need Premium in that regard.
I'm not sure I need Extra now either, although it has been fantastic value this year.
Expecting a bit of a backlash over this. It's a very steep increase, I'm a little stunned tbh.
I wonder if they'll stick to their guns or reverse it.
This has to be a joke....right?
Lol. Imagine paying $160 for one hour game trials.
This is mental
Hahahahaha and there I was about to hold off re-upping on my subscription. Nasty stuff Sony
Sidenote: This is like way more than gamepass right? They have no excuse to charge this much but not offer the same perks anymore. Joke of an industry
@Atreus97 There's more the just game trials.
They really should just consider consolidating the top two tiers into one. It's like they are purposely pricing the top tier so no one subscribes. £20 more a year for games trials and some mid range PSP games is not worth it.
Yep, premium just died.
Essential I should have stocked up on last time it was on sale. I’ll grab a couple years before this if I can and think it’ll hold.
Good thing I'm covered for like 2 more years with the previous discounts cuz for wut they offer those prices r ridiculous
WOAH! This is a huge price increase, and hard to see how they can justify it. I feel like this is Sony taking their strong lead in the console market and pushing to see how much money they can squeeze from a saturated market. Guess I'll buy another year of Extra before this happens!
Yeah poor
