The rumor is finally true - PS+ and PSNow merger

While it's not a massive reshuffling of things, there are some positives to take away I feel:

1) There appears to be some investment into providing BC to current consoles. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

2) Offering multiple ways to sub - the yearly sub remaining is an important positive I feel. But I also think that most PS+ users are using that sub so it makes sense to keep.

3) While Now is still not available everywhere, I feel that we at least have a 'timeline' of sorts to get the service out to everyone.

Otherwise, as long as the base PS+ is not jeopardised, I'm ok staying at that level.

Considering Sony releases PS+ number every quarter and it is for currently customers (not a total of how many ever signed at least once) and the number is quite stable I would bet most do annual for the considerable savings.
