    I don't know this is true or helpful, but I bought a 12 month plus around this time last year, and the year before, and it looks like if you buy around now, your subscription finishes just at the next sale one comes on. So might be a good time if you want to combo sales.

    • AaronR on 22/05/2020 - 23:10

      Last years Days of Play the VR bundles were the same price in euro/pound and we ended up with ~$280 AUD mega packs. If the same thing happens this year I’m sure plenty of people will gobble them up.

      • itsssemir on 22/05/2020 - 23:37

        WAIT. Ps vr mega pack can be 280$????? I will definitely buy it when is this sale I need a date please and thank you.

  • Goremans on 22/05/2020 - 23:16

    • ConspiracyCat on 23/05/2020 - 06:24

      Every subscription period you buy just keeps pushing your expiry date out further and further.
      Have 6 months left and buy a 12-month subscription? Now you have 18 months left. Seems like the furthest the expiry date can be is several years.
      So if you had the cash and enjoy the security of having ps plus constantly active, you could wait for a decent sale like this one and then sort out the next like 5 years worth of subscriptions in one go.

  • [Deactivated] on 22/05/2020 - 23:38

    It seems like a good deal, is it still worth owning a US account?

    • interfreak on 23/05/2020 - 07:49

      I question this as well. Have had a US account since 2013, but with the dollar as it is…

      US PS+ accounts aren't nearly as good value as they once were apart from the very occasional bargain. I let my US sub expire years ago and don't feel I have missed much.

    • kale chips suck on 23/05/2020 - 12:08

      I don't think I've ever paid more than $50AU year for my US account. I just got 2 years for I think $93AU. So, in my opinion, yeah. But I don't have an AU Plus sub.

      Edit: I've been told it was more than $93, but under $100AU, for 2 years. Not exactly sure, can't check at present.

      I’m not sure why u getting negged but it’s a great question. Who wouldn’t want to get an extra saving on top of the 30%? I’d be interested to know the answer.

    • Azuremaverick on 23/05/2020 - 22:03

      I went to the one on Marsden Park yesterday but couldn't find any PS Credit. There's XBox Live and Google credits though.

      • Ryven on 24/05/2020 - 16:55

        Did you ask? Maybe they've stopped. :|

        It seems a couple of banks give 6% off EB and JB gift cards as mentioned below, but you have to be a customer.

        EB have had stickers up on games since Thursday at a lot of stores, but it seems they're making their sale official Monday from facebook. Hopefully they discount PS store credit.

        • PuppieWayne on 03/06/2020 - 20:19

        What did I miss? $52.61 gets me a $55.97 EB gift card.

        • burningrage on 23/05/2020 - 09:32

          Can you top up a gift card with odd values like that $55.97?

          I didn't know that. I thought its usually fixed $50, $100, etc.

        • julesytime on 23/05/2020 - 09:52
          +1

          You’re getting 6% off the 30% off price. Which is 34.2% off. 36% off would be $51.17.

        • Slo20 on 23/05/2020 - 09:54
          +1

          It’s not 30% + 6%. It would be 1-($52.61/$79.95)= 34.19%. It would be like assuming that 50% off something that’s already half price would mean it’s 100% off.

    • profeeder55 on 23/05/2020 - 10:30

  • PumaPants on 23/05/2020 - 09:49

    Sorry if this has been covered.

    What happens if the free game I really enjoy comes in the 12th month?

    Potentially I could have 11 months with nothing? Pay 12 month subscription and then 1 month to play the game I want?

    Depending on what comes with the sub and when it comes, I might be better off just buying the individual game?

    • IceCreamBandit on 23/05/2020 - 10:19
      +1

      What happens if the free game I really enjoy comes in the 12th month?

      Then you get that game as part of your subscription?

      Potentially I could have 11 months with nothing? Pay 12 month subscription and then 1 month to play the game I want?

      PS+ also gives you cloud saves and online play functionality.

      I might be better off just buying the individual game?

      Depends on how often you play your PS4, and whether you go online or not. If you play online, you have no choice but to buy PS+, then the 'free' games come as a bonus.

      • PumaPants on 23/05/2020 - 12:32

        Thanks! I guess I should consider it as cloud save and online play plus free games sometimes!

        • BadGiraffe on 23/05/2020 - 19:35

          Some free games turn out to be hidden gems. I'm totally addicted to Horizon Chase Turbo.

    • netsurfer on 23/05/2020 - 11:32

      The opposite could be true. What happened if the game(s) you are interested get(s) added in the 2nd or 3rd months? By that time, this deal is gone.

      Right now, with Covid-19, EB games refuse to accept trade ins. You only have feeBay, Gumtree and Facebook marketplace to sell games.

      If you ONLY play the games you really want or you prefer to play new games right away, then PS Plus probably won't be attractive. There are quite a few Sony exclusives I wouldn't buy, but wouldn't mind playing. If you don't play online, all you need to do is go through one year list of PS Plus games, calculate the ones you would play and estimate the value you think they are worth to you.

  • BakerBen91 on 23/05/2020 - 10:40

    I don't play online games, nor do I care for the 2 free game but I absolutely love the cloud saves. I recently renewed after 2-3 years without ps plus and it was awesome to discover all my old saves on the cloud that I didn't even realised still existed. It encouraged me to go back and finish/100% games that I thought I had lost the saves for.

    • Dan83 on 23/05/2020 - 11:06
      +1

      Sorry for the silly question, but why weren't they saved on the PS4? When you delete a game to load new ones does it delete the saved file too?

      • BakerBen91 on 23/05/2020 - 11:20
        +1

        Not silly at all, it is possible to delete game data while keeping the save data (they are kept in 2 different areas in settings). I do this all the time when I want to clear room for new games etc. I lost all my saves a couple of years ago when my hard drive corrupt from a black out while the ps4 was still on, So i had to rebuild the hard drive and it wiped everything.

      • justabargainhunter on 24/05/2020 - 22:11

        Or when your PS3 dies like mine did, cloud save is a life saver

    Recommendations for 2-3TB external HD? 1TB barely fits anything, and I tend to buy all hard copies. However with free monthly games, it's likely to fill up internal hard drive easily. Thank you

        • bobzor on 03/06/2020 - 11:15

          I have found that SSD works for initial game load and single player (offline) game load times. But doesn't do squat for online game load times, ie. Destiny/Cod etc

    • Slo20 on 23/05/2020 - 13:19

      Still much cheaper than having to upgrade ur pc components every few years for them to stay relevant. I used to play PC but the upgrades were costing a fortune.

      • Petya on 23/05/2020 - 13:49
        +2

        bruhhh you don't need to upgrade every few years. It's a want ;) I've had my gaming PC rocking strong 8 years and can play all games. e.g the latest cod requires i5-2500K CPU and rocking the i7-2700k just fine.

        • netsurfer on 23/05/2020 - 14:25

          Cost of games for console side is cheaper generally, with regular deals. If you buy physical copies, play quickly, you can resell them. There are generally attractive deals. A few RDR2 deals (pre-order and early discount). Traded in two old games and got RDR2 on launch day for $29. Sure, you can wait 7 years for the game(s) to be made free on PC.

          Sony exclusive games - you cannot play them on PC. Also, PC equivalent hardware costs more. Technically, a $70 BD-ROM/writer with XL support could play Ultra HD blu-ray discs (you can rip the contents out), but due to licensing requirement, it has to be blocked from doing so. However, when Microsoft put something similar in XBox One S/X, they can take advantage of it.

          Even with GamePass Ultimate (or PC Beta), playing Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4 early on was quite buggy on PC. It was frustrating enough for me so I played them on XB1X first and later moved to PC after a couple of patches were released. But, by then, I already finished most of it and with GPUltimate being $1/month during those times, it was fine to just play on the console.

      Technically, Micro$oft started charging for online play for consoles first.
      Yes, for online play, in most cases, console users need to pay for PS Plus for XBLiveGold or GamePass Ultimate. At least Sony waived some games (i.e. Fortnite).

  • MedianTundra on 23/05/2020 - 13:24

    If PS5 comes out, can you transfer the subscription across? If not, you might want to consider not stacking too long.

    • netsurfer on 23/05/2020 - 13:27

      Of course you can. The fact most people are unhappy that PS Plus no longer gives out PS3 and Vita free games is a good indication.

    I've been checking all morning, price is still RRP. Pretty sure it kicked off today?

    I realise the discounted price is available via other channels but I was curious if last year's compound discount might repeat.

    Seems we have the opposite this yr with no discount at all?!

    • deadpoet on 03/06/2020 - 11:33

      I'm assuming it's based on 3 June 2020 North American or European time, so we'll have to wait a few more hours for the rest of the world to catch up.

      • ElectrkJonesy777 on 03/06/2020 - 11:39

        Nope, it’s based on the 3rd here in Australia. Usually there is a tab within the store that would take you to all the deals but that’s not there either. Retail discounts started earlier than the PS Store discounts.
