Forums - Sony Discussion - Rumor: PlayStation Plus getting an increase in prices in Europe

If you are living in Europe and regularly use PlayStation Plus you are not going to like this rumor; it is feared that Sony is planning to jump up the prices of the subscription in your region!

While none of this has come from the official sources yet, someone at Sony who is in the knowledge of the company’s plans has divulged information while maintaining anonymity.

According to the source in question, PlayStation Plus subscription prices for the quarterly and annual subscriptions are going to be jumped up. However, the money you will have to spend on buying a monthly subscription is not going to change.

The price currently being charged for quarterly service is €14.99 which will be increased to €15.99. This might not seem like a major change but accumulated for all the users it is quite a sum.

Also, the new price of the annual service is going to be €59.99 which goes up significantly from €49.99. This one is definitely going to hurt if and when it actually gets implemented.

Those of you buying off monthly subscriptions will still be paying €6.99 a month though.

The reason being cited for the change of prices is largely related to the Dollar versus Euro exchange rate that has already affected a number of companies financially.

So yeah, Sony might be putting itself in a situation where it will be tough to convince the general customer base all these technicalities of financial accounting that has allegedly affected PlayStation Plus in Europe.

its already expensive in UAE fuck them if they wanted to increase it even more.



That doesn't make much sense. They want people to do yearly. Currently they save 10€ compared to 3 months by doing so. With those prices it goes down to 4€ and there's very little incentive to get a yearly sub.



Very Bad but good for me because i never used it
Is it really that great ??

Sounds really bad, 50€ a year is enough and this is not good for consumer trust. I guess I should go and extend my subscription 3-4 years forward.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

All because of those stupid for-ex rates =_=



Fuck that shit, I'm against PS+ as it is and now I'm even supposed to pay more once I have to get it? Hope this isn't true.



There is still an easy trick to play every PS Plus game in the year with a cheap price: buy every second month on the 15th 1 month PS Plus. You are going to get every PS Plus game in the year and you pay 6x the 1 month PS Plus price (6 x 6,99€ =.41,94€)!

Yea was going to point that out even the 3 month portion is cheaper than the yearly sub and you get access to the games for more than half the time, if you pick up 3 months starting from end of Jan for example gets you Jan-Feb-Mar-Aprils games, then another 3 months at the end of May for May-Jun-July-Augusts, 3 months at Sept getting Sept-Octo-Nov-Dec tis 3x14.99= 44.97 but you have access to the games for all but 3 months of the year rather than your 41,94 which does add them all to your psn account but only allows you access to them for 6 months out of 12.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

This cant be true PSN is still far to unstable and buggy to warrant an price increase, there will be riots in the streets.
