I got the e-mail today as well. Free movies, hardware & streaming service discounts, and PS+ knowledgebase sound fine, but the others do nothing for me, which I stated when I filled the questionnaire.
Haha! I'd actually like to get indie (horror) flicks, and I'll be complaining if the monthly offerings mostly consist of the usual blockbusters. The best option would be to offer a few different ones every month, of which the customer could choose one to watch.

sounds like they want to shoehorn in more features to up the price some.
Why waste the PS+ money on this when the games have gone in the toilet? Make your game fans happy before focusing on movies and netflix ffs, this is the same mistake MS made originally with XB1.
'Sports games, openworld games and first person shooters to return to PS+' should have been an option. I imagine it would have been popular.
The rest don't appeal. I don't imagine you'd get any real discount on hardware. It'd be an excuse to raise the price, or avoid a planned price drop for everyone by tying it to PS+ owners.

The best thing would be a selection of games I can choose each month: give me options, lile 3 PS4 games, 3 PS3 and 3 VIta one and I can choose one for each platform for free, so I can avoid games I'm not interested for.
Not interested in movies, there are better services like Netflix, Infinity etc if I really want to watch a movie. This is a gaming console after all.
There's no point on having discounts for hardware, since you can already get better offers on other stores and usually the suggested price if you buy directly from Sony is set to the max (aka full price).

screw movies and all other stuff (that would probably be locked to certain regions)
This would be perfect :
- discount on games(even bigger ones)
- discount on DLC
- discount on Spotify (or even make it a part of PS+)
- Cut back to 1 PS3 game per month , 2 Vita Games and 2 PS4 but make PS Now be apart of PS+ (this is the perfect way to "battle" Xbox One retrocompatibility with GwG)
speaking of PS Now : i was wondering is there that many subscribers to make it sucessfull?

Making Spotify part of PS+ will never happen, Spotify alone comes in at over twice what PS+ costs per year.
Some of these will come though (apparently some already have in parts of Europe, could be them seeing what the draw in Sweden is), and I recall a few years back taking one of these surveys about new features/benefits, and one of the options being cheaper game prices if you pre-order, and that's becoming more and more common now on PSN.

Can we get PS Now discounts? I thought this was a no-brainer from the start but apparently it made too much sense.

If you could order PlayStation accessories through the PS store on PS4 that would be awesome. Especially if they go ahead with the discounts and maybe offer free standard shipping.
Exclusive (and good) designed DS4 and headsets would be cool too. They could even let you order the same stuff on the PlayStation Gear site.

How would the discounts work for controllers?

I'd rather have good games on the service again.
Also half of them probably wouldn't even work outside of few main EU coutries and USA

Likely a coupon code you use on the online Sony store. :/
One way to combat that would be
PS+ for $50: Online gaming, movies, discounts, and all kinds of extra crap
PS+ for $40-45: Online gaming only
If the difference in price is so small that the extra stuff more than pays for it, more folks will go for the higher tier.

How about free access to titles on PSNow? I can't image that service is racking in a lot as it stands, demoing it off to subs could get potential buyers for games.

That wouldn't surprise me, it's so poor I doubt any significant number of people subscribe for that.
We've had non-gaming rewards tied to PS Plus (at no extra cost) for a while here in Portugal.
We get to pick one out of two "big" offers and pick two out of four "smaller" offers.
Offers change every month and range from discounts on movie tickets to 50% discount on a pizza order, car rentals, other ticket discounts, etc.
We also have tournaments/leagues where you can win XP Points which in turn can be exchanged for PSN wallet credit or some other discounts.

Seems like it's not so much new feature, but more trying to see if they can bring what you (and apparently Italy) already get to other markets. By the looks of this thread, this was a Swedish only survey (or maybe other Nordics also got it?).

Discounts on hardware sounds nice, but I'm sure it'll be discounts that are worse than things you can get at retail/online.

Good stuff. I would like to see free movies and discounts on popular streaming services.

You can already try out PS Now for free for 7 days, with or without PS+ membership.

Finland was included in the survey as well.

Nothing in the list seems all that interesting (hardware's the most useful, but it's not like I buy a controller every month or something), but but but
DEAR SONY: PLEASE USE ALL MY PS+ MONEYS TO RELAUNCH 1 VS 100 I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER THANK YOU.

From the European perspective, the inclusion of free movies sound interesting, as that might imply we're finally getting movie rentals in the PSN store as well.

Speak for yourself.
OT, maybe its just me but I dont like this at all. I dont mind PS+ discount on games, but the idea that I need to pay for subscription for price drops on hardware (which never goes lower than previous sale prices) is something that doesnt sit well with me.
I see what amazon is doing with Prime discounts and I fear a Sony version of that. No thanks.

Before we get these cool things just let me change my PSN ID first!

Fuck that list. Here is my list
1. change PSN id, 3 times free then $10 after
2. discounted version without PS+ games. $15-20/yr, if you are only going to include crappy games I will never play let me get it cheaper
3. if you own a PS3 digital license for a game thats compatible with PS Now, let me play it for free on my PS4
4. make backing up games and saves faster and easier, like just check a bunch of games and hit backup instead of having to drill down to bottom of each level and backing up

"Oh man, another A24 flick this month? Bullshit."
PS4 controller on sale for $44.99. Plus $10 shipping. Plus tax.

None of this sounds terribly appealing. If they were to give discounts for hardware I can't imagine it being anything significant.

I wonder if those options will apply for non US countries because most of the offers sounds worthless for me.
I would love to have a discounts on PSN plus membership instead

Discounts/free movies and TV shows would be pretty awesome.
The discount om physical hardware sounds pretty nice too.
