Why is PS+ more expensive than Xbox Live?
I can get 12 months of Live for, at most, £20. Right now it can be bought for £18.99.
Yet PS+ never seems to drop below £30. And from what I can make out it doesn't offer anything greater than Live.

Could really do with an Australian PS+ deal. Mine's about to expire and it's just not really worth $70 a year for me any more.
The cards are country-locked.

There's been a bunch of 20% off PSN Card sales in Australia the last few months so I've got $200 in credit sitting at home. Hopefully this deal carries through to the Australian store like most other EU things.

Ah, it's that simple is it? So I'm just buying codes that were bought in America or elsewhere.
That makes sense.
Stupid region locking Sony.

A few years ago it was justified because they gotta pay for the games that they give out. This year though... the games are trash, but they know you have to buy it to play online so why charge less? The regular price of Plus is cheaper than Live Gold.
Yes. The official prices for each area aren't that different.
It makes sense in the accounting department. It is what makes sure SCEE gets paid for what they spend and that SCEA gets paid for what they spend.

To those complaining you just bought a years worth, you can buy another years worth at the discount price and the amount of days will just be added to your sub, saves looking for a deal next year.

No matter how cheap this is, it's not worth to get a sub for a year, imo.

You need it to play online. Can't go without it when they're holding basic functionality hostage behind it.
And you need to have an active sub to play all the good PS3 and Vita games they gave out back in the day. Reminds you of the good days before they started giving indie platformers.
Really? I know PS+ has gone down in value fr a lot of people but if your a poster on Gaf and that into games, there's bound to be at least 5-6 titles a year that'll be great to play.
Throw in discounts for Plus members and I think at a cheaper price the service is decent value considering all you can rack up in a year.

My sub expires on the 6th. 
Any consequences for letting my sub slip for at least a day? Other than not being able to play multiplayer on that day or access PS+ games?
When I resub, everything turns to normal again (game access, multiplayer, etc.)? Nothing is "lost" because of the lapse?

You guessed right..
Just bought some UK money, hope it'll be there too.
If you never play online, never buy digital games and don't like indie titles, then I understand this stance. Otherwise there's great value in a yearly sub.

I probably make my subscription back simply from discounts on purchases. And that doesn't include online and the 'free' games.

if you have P.T. you will lose it.

I would jump on that. My sub should be expiring somewhat soon I think, and I do need PS+ (Rocket League!). A good game here and there is a nice bonus.

Oh, they are? I didn't know this.
I'm based in the UK but have a US PSN account. Does this mean I have to buy a PSN card from the US if I want to get a sub?
I think PS+ it's shared between accounts if you set the Ps+ account as primary on your PS4.
So technically if you create an European account and set it on your PS4 as primary you can play online with the US one, but you won't be able to get the usual PS+ discounts on the US store.

The truth is out there!
It is okay if you have a PlayStation 3 and a PlayStation 4, it sucks for Vita which can only take a single account.
Maybe for that PS Event in early December?? (I forgot the name, sorry)
Or it could be Part of the 12 Christmas Deals Sony has every year
Germany probably doesn't celebrate Sinterklaas, so I'm guessing on the 12 Days of Christmas. If they start a day later than last year, which would fit as they usually start deals on Wednesday, it would be the third deal. It would also fit with the PlayStation Experience so explanations enough. Which would both point to it being a worldwide deal.

That's true but I'm usually not playing that much online right now. Maybe that changes with SFV.
My honest answer is, that I didn't play any game for more than 5 minutes on ps+ besides Strider, Velocity 2 and Rocket League. And all those games weren't out in the same year.The only reason I resub is basically when I want to play online.
Is that what we basically celebrate called Nikolaus on the dec 6th?

I think that's the best use of avatar quote I've seen on NeoGaf. Amazing.
what? how?

Why would someone lose P.T? It had nothing to do with PS+
I believe it is tied to PS+ membership in Germany, due to age restrictions.
I think in Germany you needed Ps+ because it's an USK 18 title

Mine expires on the 4th, oh well, I will just buy it full price and if it goes on offer in the UK I can get it cheap and have it ready for next year. I can't be doing without online play on the weekend.
