PlayStation Plus Membership Renewal

Back in September 2016 membership for a full year of PlayStation Plus here in Canada went up to $70.  Before that came it to effect renewed membership so I was good until June 2018.

The past few days PlayStation has been running a sale both in stores and online called Days of Play.  From June 9 to 17 they are all some great deals to be had.  One of them was PlayStation Plus going for it original price of $50 (on the PlayStation Store).  So I had to take advantage of that.  Which means I am good until June 2019 now.  If you are reading this today (June 12, 2017) there is still time get the deal for yourself.  It ends on the 16th.

PlayStation Plus October 2016 Game’s Line-up

October list of free games for PlayStation Plus members is now out.  There are some bigger games this time around.  There are all so some indies again.  Have to say this month is much better than most.  You can read the official blog post > here.   Should be able to download them October 4, 2016.

PlayStation Plus Membership Price Increasing

If you are a PlayStation Plus member you most likely know by now that the price is going up.  By a lot starting September 22, 2016.  They posted a statement > here.  You all would have received an email as well.   Start on that date a years membership will be $70 (Canadian money).   That is up from $50.

To get around this bought a new one year card. Added that to my account.  Which extends my membership by another year.  So that way  I will not have to worry about it until 2018.  I know this price increase has pissed off a lot of people.  Can see a lot of them not renewing.   If you are one of them make sure you have auto renewal in your account settings.

PlayStation Plus Subscription Price Increasing

Have just read some very bad news.  Which has me pissed off.  The price of the PlayStation Plus membership is increasing by a lot.  Am very aware the prices are all ways going up.  However the price increase for a years membership is crazy.  Starting September 22, 2016 a years membership will be $70 (Canadian money).  That is a twenty dollar increase.  Which is ridicules.  The other plans are going up as well.  The three month plan will be $30, used to be $18.  The one month plan will be $12, used to be $10.

Of course they put a stupid statement, “The new pricing reflects the current market conditions while enabling us to continue providing exceptional value to our members.”   You can read the full post > here.  Am not very happy about this.  Pretty sure there will be a lot of people will not be renewing there membership.

Am thinking I might just buy another years membership while it is sill $50 and just had it to my account.  That way I will not have to worry about it again until 2018.
