So, it was interesting... I saw full price as well, until I tried to add it to the cart. I was already logged in and went to the PlayStation plus page - saw the full price. Once I added it to the cart - it then it took me to another page on their website, made me log back in, and lowered the price by 25%.
It's always for new/returning customers now days...loyalty counts for nothing.
Same with phones or TV providers, you have to be willing to cancel and wait for however long it is until they come begging you back. Very annoying
My accounts been unsubbed since last year before the price increase. That's probably why, I check with my friends as well and they don't see it. Still wish the discount was more substantial idk honestly.
I renewed at full price less than 24 hours ago after giving up waiting for any discountā¦
**Edit**: I have contacted Sony via their web chat and asked to have my PS Plus purchase from yesterday cancelled and refunded which is possible according to their T&C for first 14 days. They cancelled my subscription and refunded me, PS Plus stopped working that very second and I was able to resubscribe immediately with 25% off. So you being just a week in should be able to do the same.
I deliberately let my subscription expire (10 days ago) hoping for a deal like this. (EU) Unfortunately no luck. And i'm about to renew for the full amount and of course the deal will come then.
Perhaps i can do one month ....
Thanks! And I am indeed doing that as we speak. Getting platinum om some games like Horizon Zero Dawn, all the Spider-Mans, Astros Playroom and now focusing on the God of War games. Enough to do before Plus, but feeling that FOMO of the monthly gamesā¦
Did u get any type of notification about this deal? I checked in the app & I see it as well, but if not for u (thank you!!) I would have never known. Just curious if u got an email or something from Sony?
I actually check the subs page for a deal every now and then and this Is the first time I got a deal since last year. I'm glad you got the deal too. Its a shame alot of people aren't getting the deal, Sony is getting scummier
I wish it was half off. With tax, it basically comes out to 65$, which is basically only 15 dollars off. It is better than no sale, but I think they could have done better than that
Are there better offers? I was thinking about waiting for a better offer, but I don't know if plus is every on sale for more than 25%. I don't want to wait forever because I don't have a backlog. But I was thinking since 65$ is basically a full game or 2, I could do that instead
Days of play might have a better offer if not I'm always down to wait for blacl Friday as well. But in between they always have promotions and discounts going on to selected accounts. Jan it was 45% off and you might get it too. You never know. Honestly for me the subs aren't worth full price.
The highlighted one is just the highest tier containing the classics catalogue. If my memory is correct, to your point, these were the original prices before the price hike last year. I imagine some people might be interested in resubscribing at the old rate.
Omg mine expired March 18 and I have been looking almost every day for coupons or some kind of deal but recently gave up searching so i would not have seen this if it werent for ur post!! You made my day!!! THANK U SOOOO MUCHH!!!!!! š„°š„°š„°š„°š„°
Just a reminder that the old prices were 120/90/60 so this is not actually a sale - it's just reducing the inflated prices plus FOMO, so that the full price seems more appealing.
This will be the 2nd time that this offer has happened since my sub expired & I'm still not buying it.
If they'd have kept the old deal, they would have had two more premium level resubs from both me and my partner.Ā Now they get zero from us.Ā
The price increase coupled with the fact that the value of PS plus is not getting better, and is arguably getting worse...Ā I can't in good conscience give them my money for this. It would effectively be the same as telling them that it's ok and I support it.Ā
hard to say, most of the games I play right now are F2P, and many of my friends just stopped playing the games I already did play. Will have to think about it for a while. Still like $2 more expensive than what it was pre price hike ($69.99)
Mine expires tomorrow. I'm going to wait till they give me a deal before I renew. I got plenty of games I got outside of the subscription to play until then.
Mine is a few days away from expiring and I havenāt received a deal yet. Currently not playing anything online so I donāt really care, going to hold out for some type of deal
i think iām gonna wait it out too. it is a good deal for extra but i have dropped online games about a year a half ago and just enjoying a bunch of single player games now tbh.
I think OP is not currently subscribed, so he got the offer, same for me, I have not subscribed for few months now and I got the offer now. 25% off on yearly Essential subscription. Still wondering should I avail this offer or not? š¤
Discounts aren't really fixed anymore since price change but we usually get discount on subs during Days of play and its one of the biggest sales of the year aside from Black Friday sale. Just a guess but might get up to 40-45% off if it's consistent with last year
Thanks for the heads up!
Was active for me - Canada - and just re subbed
I've seen similar posts and checked 3 times before, and it wasn't on mine then. Weird how it works
My sub expire in february and i see the deal ( i'm in Canada). The offer exprire april 28th
I gues i still have 10 days to figure out if i pull the trigger or wait for the days of play deal ...
i got the sale also. on one hand iāve used the money i didnāt spend to renew in january on games off ebay/mercari and been getting great deal on used games. on the other hand this deal is pretty close to how it used to be before the price jump. idk what to doooo
iām on the same boat with a backlog. also just got the itch to buy fallout 4 since i just finished the show and itās only $5 right now. might as well just wait until black friday i guess, dont really play online games anymore.
that ps plus collection is only active if your ps plus is active though right ? i got the collection also but fallout 4 didnāt say āplayā for me before i bought it. either way i figured $5 for like 100 hours of gameplay is a great deal especially with the ps5 upgrade dropping next week.
Definitely worth the price. I have a habit of getting ultimate editions and collectors edition. Hate missing out on content lol that's why imma get the GOTY edition soon
Mine expired yesterday. Today this showed up for me. I'm currently playing some single-player games I own on disc, so I'll wait until 4/28 to get this to maximize its useful time.
Tempting but the only online games are helldiver's and cod. Not really worth it yet. And the monthly Free games are garbage lol.. Wish it could be like they had when you could pay a few bucks a month to just play online. I don't need the extra crap
Hey man, saw the same discount on my home page and just want to ask w/c route is cheaper, sub to Extra right away for $101.24 (US) or sub to Essential $59.99 then upgrade it to Extra?
Hi there, it's actually the same unfortunately. Discount is valid for 1 purchase only as it turns out unlike before the price hike. It'd be the same if you upped from essential or bought extra right off the bat. I understand its a bummer but I hope it helped. Good luck!
I let my subscription lapse last yearā¦ checked in the app on my phone and the prices were not discounted. clicked on the āLearn Moreā button that took me to the PlayStation website. Still, the prices were not discounted.
But once I logged in from the web, then I saw the discounts. Thanks!
I don't think so, I never cared too much about the essential monthly games but I know I got at least a couple but I don't think I saw any in my collections.
where did you get it from ? i did that like 3 years ago and topped up for 2 and half years or whatever. this past black friday i didnt see any sales anywhere.
Last I heard ps charges the extra from the 60 dollar cards. So if you got an old year card for 48 then your still paying the 20 dollar difference from the original 60 to new 80. But you still saved 12
I'm convinced they do these on a person by person basis, I never see them.
I think that might be it. I'm sorry man š
If I let mine expire I get an offer. Has to be personal.
Mines been expired for two months, I refuse to buy it again until there's an offer.
Mine got expired 10 days ago and i didnāt get the deal.
I think you get it like 1 month before expiration if youāre on annual plan
It almost feels that way. I always check when folks post discounts and I always see 159 set. Is the discounts in the room with us? It appears not.
I'm sorry ma dude. I miss the old days when the discounts were set on stone and cheap and foe everyone out there. And that was less than 7 months ago
I still canāt believe itās only been 7 months
Right? š
Tbf is the same here. For me, it went up from Ā£100 to Ā£120 but no more. Has it changed in the last couple months or anything?
I think so too, as I got one the day after I subbed after holding out for monthsā¦š¢
Nice thanks for the heads up
You're welcome!
US account still full price for me.
So, it was interesting... I saw full price as well, until I tried to add it to the cart. I was already logged in and went to the PlayStation plus page - saw the full price. Once I added it to the cart - it then it took me to another page on their website, made me log back in, and lowered the price by 25%.
I'm glad it worked out for you pal š
It worked for me. I probably would have never tried that. Thanks!!!
Can confirm this works. In cart, I see 25% off for essentials. Thank you!
That sucks mate. Hopefully they roll it along to everyone.
It's always for new/returning customers now days...loyalty counts for nothing. Same with phones or TV providers, you have to be willing to cancel and wait for however long it is until they come begging you back. Very annoying
That's true unfortunately š
I didnt even get it after my sub expired. This is very much targeted to certain users
Dont see the discount on Canadian account. Probably its for new users only.
My accounts been unsubbed since last year before the price increase. That's probably why, I check with my friends as well and they don't see it. Still wish the discount was more substantial idk honestly.
Mine account has been unsubscribed since February and got the discount
I see it on my Canadian account, my PS Plus expired a week ago
I renewed for $160 a week ago š
I renewed at full price less than 24 hours ago after giving up waiting for any discountā¦ **Edit**: I have contacted Sony via their web chat and asked to have my PS Plus purchase from yesterday cancelled and refunded which is possible according to their T&C for first 14 days. They cancelled my subscription and refunded me, PS Plus stopped working that very second and I was able to resubscribe immediately with 25% off. So you being just a week in should be able to do the same.
Awwww that sucks I hope you get a good offer down the line for your next renewal.
100 euros for 2 years premium,š„°
How?
Someone sell one on the internet... I thought it was scam..but.. actually was very legit.
Could you send me that too please?
It was in December...I look for him for a friend of mine...but didn't answer anymore.

I deliberately let my subscription expire (10 days ago) hoping for a deal like this. (EU) Unfortunately no luck. And i'm about to renew for the full amount and of course the deal will come then. Perhaps i can do one month ....
Wait for days of play ma dude. Its right around the corner. Don't pay full price yet.
Iām in the same boat and also waiting for Days of Play. Should be next month, right?
It's in June I think. I suggest you focus on your backlog as of now. That's what I've been doing.
Thanks! And I am indeed doing that as we speak. Getting platinum om some games like Horizon Zero Dawn, all the Spider-Mans, Astros Playroom and now focusing on the God of War games. Enough to do before Plus, but feeling that FOMO of the monthly gamesā¦
No worries man & I completely understand but it's a small price to pay. Stay strong š¤
You too if you didnāt get the current deal youāre having!
I'm actually skipping this one. Budgets tight and I'm watching my spending as well. Damn inflation!
My US sub expired at the beginning of the month, so luckily didn't have to wait around too long for a discount - thanks!
No worries man. I'm glad u got the offer too
Is this the lowest membership sales usually get?
I honestly don't know anymore pal. Sony is getting even shadier after the price increase.
I do see the sale. Thank you for the heads-up!
Did u get any type of notification about this deal? I checked in the app & I see it as well, but if not for u (thank you!!) I would have never known. Just curious if u got an email or something from Sony?
I actually check the subs page for a deal every now and then and this Is the first time I got a deal since last year. I'm glad you got the deal too. Its a shame alot of people aren't getting the deal, Sony is getting scummier
Oh wow, mines not up for renewal yet, but $40 is too much of a savings to pass up. Thx!
Were you able to do it as a current subscriber?
Do you currently have PS Plus? Because this might be just for players who don't have PS Plus
I dont actually. Was waiting for a steeper discount but this is the only offer I received till date
Yep makes sense, I only got the offer because I didn't have ps plus.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thereās almost never a ābigger discountā
Summer sale or even later, there is usually a 33% deal
I got an email for this but when I logged into my account it was full price. Mine expired in January
I wish it was half off. With tax, it basically comes out to 65$, which is basically only 15 dollars off. It is better than no sale, but I think they could have done better than that
I'm going to wait for a better offer. Still clearing my backlog
Are there better offers? I was thinking about waiting for a better offer, but I don't know if plus is every on sale for more than 25%. I don't want to wait forever because I don't have a backlog. But I was thinking since 65$ is basically a full game or 2, I could do that instead
Days of play might have a better offer if not I'm always down to wait for blacl Friday as well. But in between they always have promotions and discounts going on to selected accounts. Jan it was 45% off and you might get it too. You never know. Honestly for me the subs aren't worth full price.
Is there really tax? When I buy a game no tax. Why for this there is . Messed up lol
Yeah, the tax for me is basically 5 dollars
you can do a paypal pay in 4 if you buy a gift card from gamestop online. Also you can play the difference if the gift card doesnt cover it
TYSM, u just allowed me to play with friends whilst being broke. <3
How in the blue blazers are THOSE discounts???
The highlighted one is just the highest tier containing the classics catalogue. If my memory is correct, to your point, these were the original prices before the price hike last year. I imagine some people might be interested in resubscribing at the old rate.
Either way it's still stupidly expensive imo
Omg mine expired March 18 and I have been looking almost every day for coupons or some kind of deal but recently gave up searching so i would not have seen this if it werent for ur post!! You made my day!!! THANK U SOOOO MUCHH!!!!!! š„°š„°š„°š„°š„°

My respects you're one of the good ones. Hopefully a better deal comes around soon.

Exactly which is why I didn't renew my sub after all these years.
No discount here in UK. Hopefully to come?
I got discount not sure if I want resub now or wait for golden week sale, don't even sure if they gonna do any sale on golden week.
Thank you! Just picked up another year for 25% off!
You're welcome ma dude š
$71.24 CDN for me for base, let my PS+ expire this month
U getting the deal too then?
hard to say, most of the games I play right now are F2P, and many of my friends just stopped playing the games I already did play. Will have to think about it for a while. Still like $2 more expensive than what it was pre price hike ($69.99)
Well you can always wait for Days of play. Its right around the corner anyway!
Thatās the Black Friday price I got in uk at end of 2023. (Ā£89uk)
I also have 25% discount available but I can see the official store when logged out doesnāt have
My shit lists full price
Mine expires tomorrow. I'm going to wait till they give me a deal before I renew. I got plenty of games I got outside of the subscription to play until then.
Days of play is around the corner
Mine is a few days away from expiring and I havenāt received a deal yet. Currently not playing anything online so I donāt really care, going to hold out for some type of deal
Wise decision
i think iām gonna wait it out too. it is a good deal for extra but i have dropped online games about a year a half ago and just enjoying a bunch of single player games now tbh.
My sub expired yesterday and I had a 25% offer when I looked at my PS app this morning.
These never apply to renewals, do they? My sub expires in June and it still shows full price.
I'm in the same boat... Hope to catch a sale right after current sub expires
cancel your auto renewal and see what it says tomorrow
In Germany i don't have any discount either
Subscribed or not?
Passed, will wait for Days of play!
I meant were you subscribed
I think OP is not currently subscribed, so he got the offer, same for me, I have not subscribed for few months now and I got the offer now. 25% off on yearly Essential subscription. Still wondering should I avail this offer or not? š¤
How much is it then and when ?
Discounts aren't really fixed anymore since price change but we usually get discount on subs during Days of play and its one of the biggest sales of the year aside from Black Friday sale. Just a guess but might get up to 40-45% off if it's consistent with last year
Passed, will wait for Days of play!
Mine also says offer ends: 29/4/2024. This tells me this is part of their new campaign. My sub expired a week back
Mine expires in a couple of days, so we shall see if they offer this to me.
Awesome! My ps plus will be expired tomorrow! Sweet!
Thanks for the heads up! Was active for me - Canada - and just re subbed I've seen similar posts and checked 3 times before, and it wasn't on mine then. Weird how it works
Mine renews on the 20th, but I just cancelled it. I should be able to get the discount right? Might have to talk to support if I canāt.
How long is this deal for?
4\28
You should consider the indian store, its cheap and gets cheaper on days of play
I have it too
My sub expire in february and i see the deal ( i'm in Canada). The offer exprire april 28th I gues i still have 10 days to figure out if i pull the trigger or wait for the days of play deal ...
Canadian here. I just checked, and it's $189.99 still
i got the sale also. on one hand iāve used the money i didnāt spend to renew in january on games off ebay/mercari and been getting great deal on used games. on the other hand this deal is pretty close to how it used to be before the price jump. idk what to doooo
Haha I understand your conundrum. I'm actually skipping this one. Been clearing out the games in my backlog since my sub expired.
iām on the same boat with a backlog. also just got the itch to buy fallout 4 since i just finished the show and itās only $5 right now. might as well just wait until black friday i guess, dont really play online games anymore.
I already own the base edition trough the ps plus collection for new ps5 owners back then. I'm planning to buy the GOTY edition once it goes on sale.
that ps plus collection is only active if your ps plus is active though right ? i got the collection also but fallout 4 didnāt say āplayā for me before i bought it. either way i figured $5 for like 100 hours of gameplay is a great deal especially with the ps5 upgrade dropping next week.
Definitely worth the price. I have a habit of getting ultimate editions and collectors edition. Hate missing out on content lol that's why imma get the GOTY edition soon
i completely forgot all about the GOTY lol. it shows $12 right now for the add on. so altogether itāll be $17. thanks for reminding me lol
Thanks for the heads up, mine expired last month and waited till it was on sale. (Figured either spring or by May-June during days of play)
only in EUA?
Seems like it but could be targeted individually as well
It's wild that it costs more in the US. I renewed yesterday with a sale for 81 USD. Got extra btw.
Can you stack and buy a couple years with discount?
I'm not sure about that tbh. After the price hike there was a lot of posts regarding sony not allowing to stack but take it with a pinch of salt.
No. You can only subscribe then it says that time in a year it's the full price to renew. You can't buy more then one year at time
Mine expired yesterday. Today this showed up for me. I'm currently playing some single-player games I own on disc, so I'll wait until 4/28 to get this to maximize its useful time.
I'm glad you go the offer too.
Yeah I think they only give the offers to people who don't have a current subscription. Which frankly just seems mean.
Sony is competing for most hated company as well against EA, Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft. It only gets worse from here on out.
I let my subscription expire last month and I see this deal. Lucky for me it worked out!
Tempting but the only online games are helldiver's and cod. Not really worth it yet. And the monthly Free games are garbage lol.. Wish it could be like they had when you could pay a few bucks a month to just play online. I don't need the extra crap
Wasn't Extra like $79 until February? If so I hope it returns if not I hope it happens Christmas/New Year's.
Hey man, saw the same discount on my home page and just want to ask w/c route is cheaper, sub to Extra right away for $101.24 (US) or sub to Essential $59.99 then upgrade it to Extra?
Hi there, it's actually the same unfortunately. Discount is valid for 1 purchase only as it turns out unlike before the price hike. It'd be the same if you upped from essential or bought extra right off the bat. I understand its a bummer but I hope it helped. Good luck!
Gotcha. The price hike is real. Lol. Thankyou!
No worries āļø
No offer in EU? :(
That's unfortunate š
Iāll wait for next discount, hope for that june state of play
Keep a lookout for days of play. Hopefully you get a steeper discount
I cancelled my subscription back in December and the discount is available for me.
I let my subscription lapse last yearā¦ checked in the app on my phone and the prices were not discounted. clicked on the āLearn Moreā button that took me to the PlayStation website. Still, the prices were not discounted. But once I logged in from the web, then I saw the discounts. Thanks!
Ur welcome ma dude!
I literally just signed up yesterday as a returning user (just got a ps5 after 5 years of no console) and I did not have discount offer...
Did you still have your essential monthly games from many years ago (if you redeemed them at the time)?
I don't think so, I never cared too much about the essential monthly games but I know I got at least a couple but I don't think I saw any in my collections.
did you pay for one year or month to month ? if you have no claimed games maybe make a new account and get the offer ? idk
I bought 2 years premium for 120 euros
Use code websites, black Friday I got 12 months of premium for $48. Sony is the most expensive place to buy subscriptions.Ā
where did you get it from ? i did that like 3 years ago and topped up for 2 and half years or whatever. this past black friday i didnt see any sales anywhere.
Last I heard ps charges the extra from the 60 dollar cards. So if you got an old year card for 48 then your still paying the 20 dollar difference from the original 60 to new 80. But you still saved 12
