Buy A Year of PlayStation Plus, Get Bonus Months And Showtime

Sony has launched a new promotion offering some incentives to subscribe to or extend your PlayStation Plus membership right now.

Buying 12 months of Plus through the US PlayStation Store at regular price ($60) will net you three additional months of Plus, as well as a three-month subscription to Showtime. The Showtime portion of the deal is only available to new Showtime subscribers and is offered through Sony's TV streaming service, PlayStation Vue.

This offer is available from now through the end of March. It's limited to one per person, so you can't buy multiple subscriptions in the hopes of receiving multiple sets of bonus months to Plus or Showtime. It presumably stacks with the ongoing spend $100, get a $15 credit offer, which expires at the end of today, February 28.

Sony says on the PlayStation Blog that this offer is valued at $112. That's perhaps a bit misleading, as you can frequently purchase a Plus membership for less than its regular price. But with the combination of extra months and Showtime--a channel that will soon get a lot more attractive with the return of Twin Peaks--it's a solid deal.

As long as you're a member by next Tuesday, February 7, you can claim February's free Plus games, which include LittleBigPlanet 3 on PS4. They'll be replaced that day by March's games, which should be revealed soon.

Full discloure: Showtime is a division of GameSpot parent company CBS.
