These prices VS PS+ make for stark reading:

$17.99 - PS+ Premium

And unlike MS they offer annual subs, so technically you can get PS+ premium from $13.33/month, compared to the $30/month from MS. No annual sub through the MS Store.

So yeah, if you want to buy in long term then PS+ Premium is less than half GP Ultimate now.

But PS+ Premium doesn't include day one games so they're not really comparable subs.

Day one games is the big difference with Ultimate and really the main reason to sub to it. The new perks are nice, but not worth how much more it costs now than before.

Luckily I have my Game Pass Ultimate maxed out at 3 years. I've been able to use MS Rewards to keep that going.
