Ultimately, blame is on those who paid for Xbox Live all those years.

Sony just gave us 20 more reasons to not subscribe.

I voted not sure yet. I don’t mind paying, but the value has to be there. They need to put their first party on there day one, or I’ll probably let it lapse.

If first party titles released day one on it, I’d keep it. That’s all I really use my PS5 for.

Absolutely not.
I got my current 1-Year Extra sub at $60.
It ends Q1 2024. I won't be renewing at over double the price.
Even though I'll probably beat 30 games by the time the sub ends, I don't think it's worth more then $60-$70 for a year.
I might as well just sell the PS5 when my subscription ends while it still holds value.

For such a price hike I assume that the service quality of choice and library will be improved by equal percentages????
I honestly think that's a disgraceful increase.

Yes, and the people (including myself at the time) who paid for ps+ laying down without any fight.

Weird move by Sony. They are currently selling quite a lot of PS5s, i.e. a lot of potential subscribers to lock into the ecosystem. Now would be the time to use that momentum and at the very least hold the prices steady and make some enticing offers to new subscribers. But then again, I don't have a MBA, so what do I know.

Voted, not sure yet.
Will wait and see what the Australian prices are. Maybe it’s time to just drop gaming altogether. New game releases already don’t feel worth the asking price here.

I stocked up on another 2 years before the price hike, so i'm good till 2026. When the time comes to renew, i'll probably only do so when there is a Days of Play or a holiday deal, which there always is every year. I can do without for a few months till that happens.
I've got so much of my library from the PS+ monthly games that I can't see myself turning my back on it.

I don't own a PS5, but i honestly doubt all the people saying "i'm out" will actually quit. You need these subs for any sort of online gaming and the types of people who pay for online likely don't have a PC and don't want one to such an extent they'd rather pay monthly than buy one, so.....
Also, the 'classics' playstation advertises can all be emulated on PC. If you didn't know/ do that already i don't think you will go to PC anyways.

Sold my PS5 3 months or so ago. Was going to re-buy the slit version. Was 50/50 on that. Truly CBA now.
Steam Deck @ £310 will be the next hardware I buy. No online fees.
Happy to stick with Nintendo whilst their online is available for £12 or £24, but if they try to bump that too much for Switch 2 I’ll probably ditch that as well.

I have 267 days left on my current sub, I will probably not re subscribe unless they start doing 50% off during black friday instead of 25% off.
Yes. PS Plus Extra is a solid deal. Lots of cool games to play.
Helped me recoup some costs since I could sell my copies of Miles Morales, Ratchet and Demon Souls.
I have no idea why anyone subs to Premium, though. Unless they throw open cloud streaming to the masses.
Sony needs to add PSVR2 games to the list, though. My headset is gathering dust...

I seriously doubt this will dramatically effect their membership numbers.
Yelling is always loud online for stuff like Netflix, and then low and behold their sub numbers go up just about every quarter.

I only buy the sub during Black Friday or a comparable sale, so I’ll have to see how much of a difference it is compared to what I was paying before.

I only get Playstation Plus Essential. The last two times it has come up for renewal I got an automated half price offer, so ended up buying yet again.

I’ll continue to do what I’ve been doing after Sony added paid online starting with the PS4 and play multiplayer games on Steam instead. The only good and thankfully free online thing I’ve done on the PS4 was the Gravity Rush treasure hunting and of course they had to shut it down.

I'm just glad I bought PS Extra on sale during the Days Of Play sale. I'm good for a year.
I dropped Plus six or seven months ago, and the only reason I didn't drop it sooner was because it accidentally forgot to deactivate the auto renew. There's a couple games I have in my library that I'll miss not having access to, but I haven't done much online gaming in quite some time so it just didn't make sense to keep it. Somehow I've managed to survive without it, and at these prices I'm sure I'll continue to do so.

This price hike is outrageous 
But i might renew premium on black friday if it has a good discount

I canceled mine today but I’m good till May so it doesn’t mean much. I will also stay with my ps5 for this Gen on a case by case basis but I’m thinking to jump ship before ps6.
In Canada, extra is going to be around 180, so 1440 over an 8 year generation. That, plus a ps5, plus accessories comes to around 2300 and then you start buying games.
I could buy a 4090 for that much. I’m not sure a ps6 would even catch up to that, I doubt it in fact.
It just stops making sense at a certain point.

I'll keep my Extra tier. I am not happy with the price increase, but in the end it's about the cost of two games and I know I have gotten a lot more than two games worth of play from the service over the last 365 days. I think I only purchased 3 completely new PS5 games this year outside of the monthly freebies.

This is such a sad but true fact. We, that is those of us who have real passion for the hobby, are the minority and don't determine the future of it.
I know this mentality can come off as "grr, stop liking what I don't like", but it's bad for both sides. People who aren't tuned into the industry don't give a shit that they get fucked up the ass with greedy practices, and those of us who do care will still feel the brunt of it because we're the minority. I would like to think that even the fifa or COD players would stop and think "this is too expensive", but at the same time I'm of the mind that most people in the world are stupid, and sadly a lot of the people who pay into those games have more money then sense.

I last had PS+ in 2019. Seems like a I made the correct decision. Sorry to see Sony (And the big corps) once again finessing the community. I still pray that one day, the community will stand up for itself and not just go along with the motions.

Perplexed at the price increase for Essential. It's the bare minimum subscription offering cloud saves and online multiplayer with 3 games and even that needed a massive $20 increase, sigh.
