Was posted on the PlayStation facebook page, I dunno if you can get it cheaper elsewhere but since everyone was saying PS+ was $50 I thought I'd point out you can get it for $40 right now. For those of you who aren't already PS+ subscribers and want to buy a PS4, you can buy a year of PS+ right now and just activate it when the PS4 launches.

You'll need a BestBuy.com account and a Reward Zone Gamers Club account but it only takes like a minute to set up and then the product page will list the year card for $39.99.

You can also get a 3 month for $13, or both together for $53. It'll only work once with each card.

Great deal, but does this really carry over to the PS4?

I don't see why not.

Confirmed in the Sony conference fellow GAFfer.

US only and can the codes be sent digitally?

nhlducks35 · Jun 13, 2013

Every time I try to log in, it says my email and password don't match. When I try to reset my password, it says my email is not in the records even though I just bought a game a month ago.

Deadly Cyclone · Jun 13, 2013

Bought earlier. It even has a coupon you can print out and take to the store if you don't want to buy online.

Seems to be US only. Cards are mailed for free, no digital I believe.

are you using your Reward zone info https://myrewardzone.bestbuy.com/? it's different from the bestbuy.com one.

Xamdou · Jun 13, 2013

^^ PS4 PSN+ will be $60 a year, so with this deal you save $20!

I have a question thought, I want to change my PSN username... is it possible to do so?

SephCast · Jun 13, 2013

Can I buy this and not activate until I get my PS4? Don't really have a huge use for PS+ right now on my PS3 as I've got a big enough backlog to get through.

Yep, that's what I'm going to do.

Yeah I tried that and nothing. I posted on their message board, usually an admin can help and reset my account.

No digital. Though if you want to Paypal me $40 I'll be glad to order it for you and give you the code when it arrives. I've already ordered two cards from this deal.

I just don't know if PS+ codes are universal?!

You can stock up on Vita games if you ever plan on getting one.

Well that certainly bums me out, I got my PS3 a year or two after launch and got stuck making a name with numbers after it since all the original usernames I wanted are all taken. So going into PS4, I am going to be stuck with my current username?

Bladenic · Jun 13, 2013

Mine runs out in Oct., might jump on this.

Has this been confirmed somewhere? I thought they said the opposite, no price increase for PS+?

Thoraxes · Jun 13, 2013

Is Vanquish still a PS3 Plus title or did it get bumped?

RPGCrazied · Jun 13, 2013

I still don't have PS+, maybe one day.

Deku Tree · Jun 13, 2013

I thought the Reward Zone Gamers Club was $14.99? So total cost is $55 for a $50 product.

zeopower6 · Jun 13, 2013

This is just Reward Zone, I think. The G@MER thing costs money and usually has a magazine subscription attached with it.

During the Sony E3 conference they said $5 a month, so times 12 for months that's $60 for a year.

There's a free version of the gamers club thing, I tested it and it works.

Mugaaz · Jun 13, 2013

Wish I could order 6 of these.

they actually said less than $5 a month.

Less than five. It's about $4.20 rounded up... which is less than $5 if you get the annual subscription.

brightsons · Jun 13, 2013

Thanks just ordered it.

$4.99

uncharted86 · Jun 13, 2013

Remember that PS+ subscriptions stack, so even if you already have a running subscription you can extend it with this offer.

Annihilator · Jun 13, 2013

So if order this deal online for 39.99 and than print the coupon for the store will that work??

Why don't you just use Bestbuy.com in-store pickup option to save you time, trees and hassle? You will receive email confirmation and just show it from your Iphone to the Store Pick desk.

Zep · Jun 13, 2013

Annihilator said:

I don't see why not. Its two separate transactions. You could even do two in-store pickups and I'm sure they wouldn't hassle you.

BigDug13 · Jun 13, 2013

If I punch in the code from one of these cards, even if I only signed up last month for PS+ for a year, does it simply add a second year to the end of my current subscription? I've never used these prepaid cards for Live Gold or PS+ before.

Paskil · Jun 13, 2013

Couldn't pass it up. Got my first year free with my Playstation credit card. Haven't regretted it for a moment.

Day one PS4.

Yea I meant getting two at the cheap price one online and one in store, oh well will try later tonight to see if it works.

Oh I see, well let us know how it goes then

andycapps · Jun 13, 2013

I can't seem to be able to login with my Reward Zone account and print the coupon.

Ah, it says Gamer's Club on there. That's a separate account that isn't free, right?

publicpwnerer · Jun 13, 2013

PS+ will probably be $89 in Australia, fook that.

EDIT: It's currently $69.99. Pleasantly surprised.

There's a free version, you can opt in with your reward zone account.

Do these work for Canadians?

Anybody looking to hook up us guys in the UK

Killah · Jun 13, 2013

I'll try using this with my sisters account so I can get two for $80.

Also if anyone wants a PS+ trial code, I have one. They don't stack if you already have PS+.

First to quote me gets it. This is a US code, not sure if it'll work anywhere else.

GrizzNKev · Jun 13, 2013

No clue. It's likely US only, unfortunately.

jaydogg691 · Jun 13, 2013

Will this stack up with existing memberships?
