PlayStation Plus 12 Month Subscriptions - Large Increase Coming

FYI

Saw this on HUKD and see it has now been posted on OzB

No idea on what the new prices for NZ are but I presume it could be significant based off other countries.

From September 6, Sony will increase the price for 12 months of PlayStation Plus

PS Plus Essential 12 Month Current New
USD $59.99 $79.99
GBP £49.99 £59.99
Euro €59.99 €71.99
PS Plus Extra 12 Month Current New
USD $99.99 $134.99
GBP £83.99 £99.99
Euro €99.99 €125.99
PS Plus Premium 12 Month Current New
USD $119.99 $159.99
GBP £99.99 £119.99
Euro €119.99 €151.99

In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Sony issued a brief statement explaining the significant price hike: “This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service.”

  • Anyone know where is the best place to pickup a subscription at the moment? Haven't seen any % discounts recently from retail outlets.

    • Prices have already been bumped up in anticipation of this increase on sites like eneba etc.

  • is there a vpn trick for this one?

    • I see someone in OzB forums last 5 years of premium and had their account banned for that.

  • Buy a Nintendo Switch and save money on subscriptions. :)

    Such a huge price increase with no additional benefits… Time to unsub I guess.

    • No idea what it will be for us yet but looking at the other examples I expect it will be a decent amount.

  • This is why runescape is better.

  • Devils advocate but aren't these rises pretty much rising in line with the everything else in the world

    I contacted the NZ ps store support and these are the new prices I was told:

    12 month:
    Essential - $126.95
    Extra - $223.95
    Deluxe - $250.95

    These are (profanity) massive increases, even more then the comparative USD/AUD increases. And even with the 25% Black Friday discount, it would still end up more than the current non-discounted price. I regret not stocking up 10+ years with the various tricks at the last discount.

    Not only that! The support staff let me know the 1-month and 3-month prices ARE ALSO GOING UP!

    1-month:
    Essential - $15.95
    Extra - $24.95
    Deluxe - $27.95

    3-month:
    Essential - $43.95
    Extra - $70.95
    Deluxe - $82.95

    Insane greed. Interesting response to Starfield release day and Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard lmao.

    • Just saw the email this morning confirming these NZ prices. By my calculations, that's a 41.13%, 49.35% and 45.10% increase for Essential, Extra and Deluxe respectively. Absolutely insane. Cancelled my subscription.

      • I saw that too.
        That's an insane price increase.
        Makes the USD price change look good by comparison.

  • Looks like the Turkish PS Plus option is now greatly reduced, as 12 months of essential has gone from 460tl to a whopping 1400tl (an increase of over 204%!!!)
