Sony fans like spending more money on the usual thing. They applauded the software price increases.

Serious note- that's stupid but unless the internet gets super rage-y nothing's going to change.

thanks joe Biden

this inflation sucks. trump help us please.

lets get this clown out.

Lmao! Those price hikes are aggressive as hell. Yikes!

Damn. That’s a pretty substantial jump. Might have to grab a few subscription cards before this increase.

Quite a jump in the price.

This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits

how about giving us a cheaper tier that has the multiplayer paywall and nothing else?

Last I checked, Sony is the one that raised the price.😂

I honestly thought this was trolling when I read the thread title....

Will the extra $35-$40 I pay go to the devs for better payouts, or is this a reaction to revenue losses from the service? 🤔🤔🤔

And think of how aggressive this price hike would be if PS+ more closely mirrored Game Pass. At least Xbox seems to consider the consumer when adjusting the prices. Jim Ryan is saying y’all are gonna pay it no matter what…

All you have to do is to do what intelligent people do. I recently renewed till October 24 at the princely price of £35 or £3 a month.

When Sony does its next deal I will renew again. I have a year and bit to wait for them.

I see the £60 as the starting price that I will haggle down so to speak.

Problem and pointless hand-wringing solved.

Well, that's dumb as hell.

Been thinking about upgrading past essential, but not anymore.

And if I don't find some really good deals, that will be canceled from me as well.

Does is include lube?

No way I'm paying that. I paid $80 for a year sub. Not gonna pay double. I'd say $120/year ($10/month) is the most I'd pay for this or gamepass. I get they have to increase prices, but that's a huge jump.

Why the hell is there a pic of Trump in this thread?

yeah because of this crazy inlation.

my rent up 300 month. electric 50% ,gas 50%

milk egss

= every thing else goes up. wages are more.

The struggle is real for Sony fans😅 At least Sony fans are lucky those Xbox fans are too poor these days.

I tell ya, those Xbox fans are so poor, all they have is money Game Pass.

@gifford38: Bro inflation is going down yet the rich charging you more. Congrats, you played yourself. Should have supported tax the rich instead of that trickle down economics bullshit that hasn’t worked for over 60 years. 😎

WASHINGTON (AP) — Over the past year, inflation in the United States has tumbled from 9% all the way to 3%, softening most of the price pressures that have gripped the nation for more than two years.

So let me get this straight, and i hope sealionact corrects me if i am wrong on something. You increase the price by a fuckton, have literally not announced anything new for your system in ages, don't even pretend to have an E3 presentation, the only game from them in 2023 is Spiderman2 and the future is 5 live service games.

What in the actual flying **** is this?

Well at least they sweetened the increase with offering Saint’s Row in September. 🤣🤣🤣

Just like youtube premium and Disney plus price hikes:

wasn't worth it at the previous price.

ooff cows are rekkd hard. Imagine charging gamepass prices for a 2nd tier subscription service with no day 1.

This is NintendoSony

Wait, you're right, this is even worse than Nintendo. Nintendo is still supporting a Dying system, Sony literally gave up and all they have in the freezer is half a dozen live 🤢🤮 service games.

lmao, this meme is gold, though the redfall one is a bit off

No thanks! I haven’t been playing multiplayer on PS that much so I’m ok with giving it up. Subscription services aren’t doing great it seems.

At this point i might just be playing every multiplayer game on pc. In CAD, the price for a year is $109.99, which is so f'ing stupid that these are the moments that i genuinely want to throw a box of eggs at Jim's face.

This **** is ruining Playstation.

I know right! loooooool

Seriously, this blows. Sony needs to either start showing where this money is going (i.e. where da games at?) or rollout substantial benefits for the services.

I want it to cost more,and i don't want first party day one,Sony profits first,being a gamer 2nd.

Not my words,🐄🤡

Sony can **** right off with those prices. "for the payers" more like "for the suckers".

please trump save us from play station plus price increase this country is going down every one hates men women bad and smelly help trump donate now

This shit better create a shitstorm like when MS woke up one day and decided to charge 100% more for XBL.

I see facts and spelling are still your kryptonite.😂

And just like that my auto renew is canceled. Sony is pricing themselves out. No day 1 first party games and apathetic ps1 and ps2 library but they want to charge a premium? No thank you Sony.

Didn’t Sony just get out of court complaining to Judges that Microsoft would increase price of GamePass and that they must be stopped???

@gifford38: Don't blame Biden. Inflation is the best of the g7 nations. This is literally Sony greed. Get mad at the people at the top of Sony who need bigger yachts. In my industry, all prices have dropped for the last 12 months. (Flooring business)

It amazes me how people don't blame companies when they are anti consumer. Sony is getting bad with this. Not including Bluetooth on their "portable" device so their headset is required for wireless, raising game prices by $10, raising the price of the console, raising the subscription service but offering nothing additional. All anti consumer

They absolutely did! lol.

Totally forgot about that.

Once my current sub runs out, I'm done.

😂

As part of its argument, Sony puts forward the idea that after acquiring Activision Blizzard, "Microsoft would be able to: increase console and game prices for Xbox users (including those that had switched from PlayStation); increase the price of Game Pass; and reduce innovation and quality.

Ouch. Sony: If you have a big surprise for everyone now is the time. Pull the ol Razzle Dazzle. Real PS4 reveal stuff. Sony? Sony?....

...God dammit Nintendo you had one job! ...

No games in 2023, so let's increase the price of our subscription service dramatically. For the Payers.

Sony fannies like paying extra for nothing. 😂

Bogus; nobody likes price increases.

Time to stock up on some PSN+ cards.

You're getting drilled by FOMO🤦‍♂️

Yep, this is not inflation--this is corporate greed, pure and simple.

I think I'm going to let my subscription lapse which is crazy cause it's been continuous for over a decade. I just don't see the value in it. It's been good for playing a few things like Returnal and Stray but considering I am content in waiting for titles to get cheaper, I don't really see a ton of value in the service these days. This just makes me letting it go that much easier. Thank you Sony.

Well, PlayStation Plus is no longer worth it. Was thinking of rejoining, but this just gave me more reason to steer clear the tide.

People should cancel their subs in mass.
