The PS Plus increase was what I was expecting for this year, tbh.

But on top of the hardware insane price increases... lol.

Good chance to finally stop renewing my Essential subs.

Let my PSN sub run out this year. First time I haven't had Plus in over a decade. The fact deals weren't offered for Essential was the deal breaker.

Still haven't moved on to PS5 either. Same goes for all but one of my friends. A few of them have casually started looking into Series S actually. Neither of them are hardcore, but have only ever had SNY consoles since PS1 or PS2. I think they're getting the GTA itch and are trying to plan ahead. To be honest, I'm really not happy about what's going on at SNY and I'm not thrilled about what looks to be coming from them next gen, as of what info is available right now anyway. Even if they launched an affordable hybrid, I don't need or want a hybrid personally, but I do want to move on from PS4 come next gen without having to spend a fortune. The more people who stop subscribing to Plus, the more likely it is they might try and move on to another ecosystem.

The PS5 itself is great, people keep telling it's not but I'm in line to own as many games on it as usual, the games definitely are there. So if you could move to it before the price increase I would do so. Can't justify giving Sony money after it tho.

PS+ has been expensive for a while now, I cancelled my sub renew because of no Essential deals too, but someone told on reddit that you can still re apply the automatic renew before your sub time runs out and they may offer you an individual deal, and it worked out for me, so I got another year, but if prices double... LOL, either I get a 66% deal or I let it go.
