Ah yes, another very "for the players"-move indeed

And thus I canceled my premium plan. I barely play online as it is, if I want I’ll just go to steam.

Absolute bullshit of a price gouge

I used to own both a Series X, PS5 and have my gaming PC (all in the same room - desktop currently has an i5 13500, RTX 3090 24GB, 4TB of NVME storage & 128GB ram)

Got myself a 5m hdmi lead capable of driving my 4k/120 TV and just ended up using my pc for everything now.

I just switch sources between my monitor and tv when I want to game on the couch. Any mouse/keyboard input needed, I do it on the Unified remote app on my phone and fire up Steam big picture on the tv.

Sold the PS5 and XBOX and ditched two more subscriptions hitting me every month.

No regrets so far.

Nintendo will be next to raise prices for their peer 2 peer. Lol

I've been paying for premium for the last year (monthly, not so bright here) and I haven't used any of the offerings of streaming or demos. I'm def lowering my sub to extra (I def play from the catalog) but wondering if I should just pay for the year subscription now or wait for any discounts that may happen.

I think I read we have til Sept 6 to pay for current prices, so I figured I'd just get the year today. Any thoughts?

It's a move to test water then, since most people that are long term subscriber usually stack up during sales. I think they are testing how well it might work with their new offers and banking on people forgot to stop renew.

It really sucks cause essential pretty much no longer justified for their pricing at this point. Guess I have to try setup some sort of back up routine for my old save files on the PS cloud before I cancel my subscription.

I buy the subscriptions for ps+ and nso during black friday. There is usually a sale going on then. Wish i could have stacked up some more.

Damn, I expect not getting too ripped out in México...

Question: If I were to buy a PS Plus Essential subscription code for 12 months, how would I be changing that to premium? Would I be charged after putting my code in? Do I now have two different dates on when Premium ends and when essential ends?
