Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought Playstation Plus when I bought my PS4 cause if you want to play online your have to have it, but it's not so bad, some of the things I like are the free games that are released each month, you get discounts on games and other items in the Playstation Store, and you can upload your game saves to the cloud for safe keeping. So if free games every month, discounts in the Playstation Store, and a while bunch of nice features is recommended Playstation Plus for anyone.

PlayStation Plus is a great value. The games that come with membership each month are almost like a "loot crate" service (it's fun to see what surprises the next month has in store), and you get incredible value throughout the year compared to what this costs. Not to mention multiplayer and extra discounts during sales. If you have multiple PlayStation systems the value only increases. While it's a bummer that paying for online services is now basically a requirement for console owners that want to play online, PlayStation Plus provides such great value that I'd likely subscribe regardless.

For $50 per year (or cheaper if you can find a sale), you get up to 6 free games per month, depending on what PlayStation platforms you own: 2 games each for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita, and some of the games are "cross-platform," meaning you might net 4 PS4 games in a single month. For me, these games are largely games I wouldn't have otherwise tried, but have had a chance to fall in love with, like the current month's offerings of Xeodrifter and Super Time Force Ultra. Plus, you get deals frequently. I just picked up Metal Gear Solid 3 and Peace Walker for $10.50 total, thanks to my PS+ discount.

If you play multiplayer games online on the PS4, you will want to purchase this 12-month membership since it is the best value of the PS+ that are offered. You can occasionally get it cheaper than $49.99 but that is the standard price. I recently bought a PS4 (well, half of one) for someone and I knew the present would not have been complete without the PS+ so I bought that as well. I have a PS4 myself and will continue to buy the PS+ membership to play online games with others. Also of note are the free games you get each month and sometimes discounts. These aren't as appealing to me- if you get rid of your PS+ membership the free games are no longer able to be played (unless you get PS+ again or buy the game) and usually the discounts are on digital copies of games, and I prefer hard copies of games so that isn't that useful to me.

OK so now we have to pay to play multiplayer, which is dumb because it was free before. And if you're paying $60 for a game like Call of Duty Ghosts, why would you need to pay more for multiplayer? It's part of the $60 game you purchased. Ignoring that fact, it's great that Sony includes a lot of free games each month with the PSN. The first week of the launch of PS4, it was down for like 24 hours , then a few days later again. The maintenance weekly. Very annoying when paying now each month (or yearly depending on how you pay) Overall, the free games make it worth it. Pay it for the year at once and you forget about it.

Most of us in the Gaming world knew that with the birth of the PS4, our days of free online multiplayer ability was coming to an end. With the numerous problems surrounding the PSN in the past, the only logical step was to go the route Microsoft chose to with the xbox, an annual subscription service. I've had the PS4 and Playstation Plus now for 2 months, and I have to say, the value is pretty impressive. Last week PS+ members could download GRID2, a game that currently sells for $40 new, for free! There are numerous games you can download for free, and so far I feel the experience has been enjoyable, and of good value.

I recently sold my Xbox 360 in order to put money down for my Playstation 4. I just want to say that Microsoft should have picked up on Sony's idea a long time. For the years of the lifecycle of Xbox, I was spending 50$ just to play online! JUST TO PLAY ONLINE! Sony on the other hand from the get go has offered me free game after free game every month and I couldnt be happier. Why I didnt go with PS3 last gen amazes me. If you are in the market for a new Console, you wont be disappointed in Sony's new PS4 and if you are looking to get free games every month for one great annual price then PS Plus is it! Get it!

When you become a PlayStation Plus member. You get a ton of benefits along with it. Online game benefits with first party SONY games like extra levels, items, gear, characters, etc. You also will be apart of SONY's monthly free games service, Which every month SONY has a selection of free games for the PS4, PS3 & PS Vita for you to download and enjoy absolutely for free as long as you are a PS Plus Subscriber. There is a 3 month & 30 day membership as well but if you are an advid gamer & going in it for the long haul I'd recommend the year subscription.

Apparently you can still get the one year ps plus subscription for 50. I'm not sure if these are left over inventory or what, but THEY STILL WORK. I had to buy it online and wait for the card to be mailed. I was a bit skeptical at first, but i knew if there were any issues entering the code I would get it fixed through best buy in store. I thought there was a glitch or after I added to cart the price would adjust to the, now, 60 dollar ps plus yearly subscription. Not one issue whatsoever. Everything went smooth and I'm athomegamin

I'm new to console gaming, so I wasn't excited about needing to purchase an additional subscription for multiplayer online gaming. I bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered this with my PS4 and I have no complaints. $50 seemed a bit steep at the time of purchase, but with the free games and full game trials on top of the multiplayer access, it's not so bad. There are also some exclusive deals that come out on a regular basis that are really tempting.

PlayStation Plus is far superior than Xbox gold. few guaranteed game each month. new and old, indie and mainstream. great subscription. The only trick to it, understandably, you can only have access to your redeemed "free downloadable game" if you have a current PlayStation plus subscription.. completely reasonable. 50$ a year and at least 12 games per month is not bad at all. Few big titles that were "free games"- Uncharted Borderlands/Borderlands 2 Infamous 2 Saints Row 3 etc etc

$50 a year gets you anywhere between 24-72 games a year depending on what consoles you have. On top of that, a lot of the games are cross-platform, giving you the opportunity to play more than just the 24 ps4 games a year. Most months you get 5-6 games for free on ps4. Some are clunkers, but there's at least one hidden gem a month it seems. On top of that, discounts on their online store help to pay the $50 off over time. Not even looking at the online play that playstation plus can be required for, it's already a great deal. If you're not a member, I highly recommend it.

Playstation Plus is now required for online play but with the multitude of downloadable titles tied to your account, it very quickly pays for itself. Most months, you'll find at least two PS4 games, a lot as crossbuy titles with the PS3 and Vita and if you're a PS3 owner, a pair of games as well. An important part of this equation though, the games are technically free but are only playable if you have an active PS Plus account. If your account lapses, the games are unplayable but once the account is reinstated, access is returned to all of your games tied to the account.

So I buy a PS Plus card from best buy every year around Xmas time to get the $10 off. I'm a valid PS plus member to 2019 because of these types of deals! I highly recommend this yo all my friends! Just don't miss the sale and you save money every year, well until PSN increases the price in us anyways. Either way, if you game online and want your free, mediocre at best, games then you should consider buying during Xmas time maybe even more than one so you can avoid any price increases that could cone from Sony. Just stock up!

Playstation Plus continues to be one of the best values in gaming. The pure idea of paying a yearly fee to game online may still sit poorly with some people, but the value you get from the Instant Game Collection is hard to beat. Get the subscription during one of the regular sales you can find and enjoy the "free" games all year. You will easily get your value out of the monthly games as long as you play a handful. Remember to "buy" all of the games on the PS store even if you don't own all systems -- you'll have them waiting for you if you ever do get the system.

This review is from the perspective of a person with only a PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable in 2017 and for those in the same situation. I pay for PlayStation Plus to get cloud storage and the "free" monthly games for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable (that you can only play as long as you have an active subscription). The quality of their game offerings for PlayStation 3 as of November 2017 dropped off a cliff and their PSP offering is zero so the subscription is relegated to accessing PSP games I have already redeemed in the past. Subscribe only if you are actively redeeming the "free" PlayStation 4 games with the intent of eventually getting a PS4 to play your growing PS Plus back catalog because they are offering good to great games for it. PS Plus is required for online multiplayer for PS4, so you have to subscribe regardless of any review to play online on PS4.

PS+ is highly recommended if you have a PlayStation console (PS3, PS4, or Vita). The online capabilities make it mandatory if you want to play multiplayer online, but you also get save game backups, auto-updates, a slew of social features, and perhaps most importantly *free games* every month. You can claim all of the free games (for all of the systems) whether or not you have all of the systems if you log into the PSN store online (with a web browser). That way, if you ever end up with one of the other systems you'll have a pile of games waiting for you.

This card costs $50; however, I bought mine for $40 through bestbuy 's gamersclub or my.best buy.com. I received a ten dollar discount for being a member. The deal comes and go often. The psn card enables users of playstaion games to access free games and many cool features in psn store. Unfortunately for ps4 users it is a requirement to have psn card to play multilayer online games. Since this card is a must for upcoming ps4 I will advice most PlayStation owners to use it regardless if u have ps4 or not bcos only one psn card and subscription is needed for all devices like vita, ps3 and ps4.

When the end of days comes you may not have a credit card or a debit card to supply online, heck even today with fraud and scammers it's a scary business to bring your 16 digit finance identification number online! That's why these PSN cards are so brilliant and awesome! You bring cash, card, check, money order, bottle caps, etc. to Best Buy and they let you walk out with one of these cards to plug in online instead. Your money is safe, your PSN account is full, and you're ready to game! It's a win/win situation that can't be beat!!! A++++ would do business with again!
