Damn shame when it used to be free.

I guess if someone wanted to they could purchase multiple years from CDkeys or even PSN and save $20 a year.

That’s one way to prevent me from buying any multiplats on the Sony platform.

If they want to do this horseshite, make online play free but lock all the additional services behind this ridiculous paywall.

Playstation has turned into complete garbage. No games, VR Gimmicks, and price hikes for shitty services.

I've been a PlayStation fanboi since the beginning, but they have sucked monster peepee the last 5 years.

Problem is, Microsoft and Nintendo are no better.

Excellent strategy. I wonder if Sony will ever follow Microsoft's lead and cap stacking.

I think I just might finally cancel.

It's hard to root for either console brand any more. They both have something they offer that is clearly better than the other, but really suck in every other aspect.

That is a crazy price hike. It don't even think it's worth $60, much less $80.

Going to cancel my service then.

It isn’t worth $80 a month.

It’s not $80/month. It’s $80 for the year.

I mean, I don't think Playstation Plus is that much worse than Gamepass. There's still a great deal of good games on both services.

The classics selections is absolute arse, but you had to know it was going to be. Pretty much anything worth playing will either be tied up in licensing hell or held onto by the publisher/developer to be sold as a remake/remaster at some indeterminant point in time. The only reason classics on Vita/PS3 are so good is because those games were released during a time where studios hadn't figured out that they could milk their back catalogue.

Didn’t Microsoft up their prices?


So Sony is doing the same?


They also are coming out with the portal.

Every single thing costs more now. Welcome to the times.
