> PlayStation Plus will jump from $50/year to $60/year starting September 22, Sony said today. It’s the first price hike for the online service since it launched in 2010.
> The three-month plan will now cost $25, and the one-month plan will remain at $10. “If you are a current member, the new prices will take effect if your membership renews on or after this date,” Sony said.

How, loads of free games just for $60 a year - that's a stupendous value. Why haven't you signed up for PlayStation Plus yet?

I'd prefer to keep my free games :^)

inb4 PCucks come storming in mad that they will never ever play the PlayStation's vast library

Doesn't that just make it equal to xbox live? I thought xbox live was 60 bucks a year too.
Not saying it's good or even okay, but it shouldn't be surprising they'd make their prices equal.

>make a ton of profit off charging people out of the ass to use their internet
>hike up the prices
t-thanks

awesome, I would be more than happy to pay even more.

inb4 le no gaemz maymay XD

...

Who plays online on PS4 anyway, aside from dudebros and rocke league shitters ?

Some 560 games

>paying $60/year for access to your own already-paid-for internet connection

Question: How is this legal?

Oh boy I can't wait to get more shovelware and shit indie games for more money!

>$10 hike after 5 years
>Majority of Nintendogaf/v/ don't even own a PS4.

Get a fucking job you moolie

>all those muliplats

I wish there was a containment board for Sonyfags. Jesus Christ, the circlejerking in this thread is beyond comprehension.

At this point I would be happy if there was a board specifically for all consoles.

Please, I am sick of this total and utter group wank sessions performed by people who own a specific system.

PSN+ is practically a slower, more feature-bare Steam

Which is completely free

>console owners

ITT: bunch of poor kids.

This is nothing. They're weeding out all the whiners who won't be able to afford a NEO.

Freddy Francesco, is that you?

PSN used to be free on the PS3.
Sony copied Microshit because their console that was prone to breaking itself with the red ring and required you to pay for your net twice was doing better than their system and they wanted more $$$.
Now they're evening the price seeing that most fags are willing to pay any amount of money for online capabilities.

This is nobody's fault but the people who actually throw their money at such retardation.

You're not paying for access to your internet, you're paying for access to their servers.

...

But most PSN+ games don't use dedicated servers, so?

uhhhh lets be honest here...

if u cant afford 60 a month for online ura loser lmao i dont even wanna see you at my bloodborne online

>indy garbage is okay when SONY does it

You're not paying for access to your internet, you're paying for access to their servers. It's a callous business practice, but it's not illegal.

wtf it was 50$ a month?
I thought playstation was actually competing with computers on some level but it's not at all what the fuck.

uhhhh lets be honest here

if you pay 60 a month to shitty moneygrabbing jew devils you are a fucking good goy

Pay more to get DDOS'ed? I see.

The games that do should use PSN+.
The games that don't should let you use the online features for free.
Sadly, that's too intelligent to happen.

>you're paying for access to their servers.

Because, barring console and game sales, they're so short on cash, right?

There is no possible way that you can justify paying $60/year for basic software support that similar, competing services offer completely pro bono. It's obvious they do it just because they thought they could get away with it, and what's more, they were completely right.

I'm actually glad I read this.

I've been Paying for ps+ since the ps3 because I genuinely enjoyed getting some of the cool free games. I didn't mind paying it for ps4, but I hated that suddenly payment is required to play with friends when it wasn't before.

It's not about price, its about quality of product. I dropped netflix the other week when they told me they were raising the monthly streaming fee. Why would I pay more money on a service that has actually decreased in value? Remember when Netflix first came out? There were plenty of movies and shows to check out. Not different services are claiming shows to keep on THEIR service instead. SO basically I'm paying an additional dollar a month so that Netflix can keep making it's shows that I dont watch.

Well Im canceling PS+ as well. Their 'free' games have been lackluster, and people kept saying "Hurrr, ps4 just came out. there wont be many good options yet". Well there still arent many good options now and the price is going up.

Oh, and what happens to my 'free' games when I decide to cancel my subscription?

thanks m7 glad someone understands (btw whats goy)

You could seriously play at least half of that with the toaster laptop granny bought you 8 years ago when you got to uni.

Friendly reminder that paid online keeps the BR and RU to a near non-existent minimum on consoles.

>Oh, and what happens to my 'free' games when I decide to cancel my subscription?
They won't be playable. You're practically renting them with your subscription.

I'm not saying it's right. I'm not defending it. I'm just saying why it's not illegal.

>free

40Mx10 = 400,000,000x12 =

4,800,000,000 per year. And just ONE fucking game on it's library.

FUCK!

It also keeps other decent people since they can't afford it.

Oh but wait I forgot that everyone that struggles economically is a piece of shit, the wealthy people are the cool guys right?

Sony is risking it with this price increase and ps4 neo, price tag is one of the most important factors for your console to win the cw. With moves like these, they risk going back to ps3 launch times.

This. I prefer playstation consoles but Sony is such a fucking shit company and they're trying their hardest to kill themselves.

And underage kids and normie dudebros, right?

Your argument reeks of SomethingAwful

>I LIKE paying money because only cool people do!

>Free

PS+ games are not free you half-wit, they lock out once the membership expires, game rentals for retards

>sonyggers actually made fun of xbox for having paid online

Oh the memories

And xbots made fun of sonyggers for having a DoA console with no games. Truly the bizarro generation.

Now they slurp the subscription cock and claim it's not too bad to feel justified.

PS+, and the fact that is required for multiplayer is one of the things that keeps me from buying a PS4, there's no justification, it's just being greedy as fuck.

And of course, since people are forced to suscribe to it, the "free" game are shit.

I don't know what kind of posts you're reading but no one likes this.

Ps4 has no games though. At least they're keeping with tradition.

You're paying for YOUR internet, but now you have to pay to use THEIR internet. Nothing is free, you shit lord.

>first game i see
>don't starve
yea ok

Oh, I'm not saying poor people can't be "cool" but if I had a choice for my daughter to marry a bum or someone with a job, I'm gonna go with the guy who can afford a PSN+ subscription.

Sup Forums is worse than gamefaqs, reddit and even neogaf.

Your selective memory is acting up again grandpa. Go take your meds.

Feel free to go back now

PS4 has plenty of games. The actual problem is that theyre all *also available on PC, which was the exact reason why anyone with a gaming pc last gen didn't own an xbox.

Wow that's actually garbage. I had to look that up because I thought you were just making shit up.

>supporting systems that force either pay2play subscriptions, or region lock

Literally why? They don't even have good games. Just shovelware like Bayonetta and Halo and Uncharted.

>sony adjusts pricing to match for inflation
>this is somehow a bad thing

business illiterates general

So no reason to own ps4 then.

No, I just know a falseflagging faggot when I see one.
Pretending your a cocksucking Sony fanboy willing to do anything for them isn't funny.
Anyone with a semblance of dignity knows Sony is fucking up, as they always do.
They have a great product and keep making bad decisions about it.

Weebs

>inflation

the only thing inflating is their dick in your mouth
the service was outrageously overpriced to begin with

I like playing Dark Souls 3 online but I only ever use the free trials, not willing to pay extra money for something that's been free for three whole souls games.

@349301452
>giving up your bait that early

should switch halo and bayonettas places

When ps+ was announced to be mandatory with ps4 multiplayer online you should have seen the coping and mental gymnastics people were going through to justify paying it.
Sorry your Sony camp sucks, maybe you shouldn't fly your banner so high fag.
Also
>false flagging
Kek.

#4theplayers

I get the impression you think I'm in opposition to you, user.

>bait

Whatever do you mean?

If this was a list of PC games you would have disregarded them as indieshit and kusoge

It's ok when Sony does it.

Oh man, ONE MORE indie game.

Gee thanks Sony.

I do not, merely stating my opinion on the purchase of a ps4. But a slim is soon, maybe there's a slim chance it'll have games.

Why the fuck do I have to pay to play the PS4 online? PC and Wii U have free online. Hell, even the PS3 had free online.

Not even he could afford all that.

ITT: mad PCucks who paid $1500 to play multiplat console scraps while getting cucked by steam, denuvo, and windows 10 at the same time

>$60 a year is expensive

I mean I don't even own a console but come on guys. also I don't understand why Sup Forums keeps posting this when majority of them don't even own a PS4

>I cannot afford to pay $5 a month for 5 good games and multiplayer
Embarrassing.

when was the last time you got an exclusive that wasn't shovelware indieshit PCuck lmao keep paying $900 a year for an upgraded meme card while gobbling up those console ports PCucks

>tfw you realize owning a PC since launch and 10 games costs you over $7000 and you could buy every single console ever with that money.

Hope you're enjoying your """"""""""free"""""""""" games PCuck


>120 million Steam accounts
>multiplats on PC(uck) barely surpass 200k sales
What the fuck do PCucks even do? Shitpost on Sup Forums and reddit all day instead of playing vidya? No, that can't be...

this is the standard the industry has set

microsofts practices proved that retards will sell out 60 dollars a month for an online service that probably costs less than 1/10th in operating costs than what they charge for it

@349302230
Not going to even give you a (you), you're bait is weak.

Meanwhile, Nintendo still provides free online play.

>ITT: highschl kids of Sup Forums getting mad that mom might say no

Just tell her it's inflation at work but you'll do extra chores if she insists.

No games is why
Only a few hundred still playing smash, splatoon, or monster hunter.

Explain to the class how King Jew himself Gabe Newell can keep Steam completely free while offering a shitload more value and service than Sony ever will.

@349302230
>Zombii
>Good

>Kek.
That one 'word' alone pretty much invalidates your post, it shows how obsessed you are to stereotypical trolling antics and your only purpose is to throw memes around because it's easier than coming up with an intelligent reply or witty retort.

>Multiplats
>Multiplat Indie games
>Weeb shit

how will pckeks ever recover

...

me and my mom came to the agreement that if I suck her dick 3 times a week instead of 2 she'll continue paying my subscription.

I didn't really want to do it, but I can't afford it myself.

I fucking LOVE how PCucks constantly beg for weebshit on their platform but then criticize all the weebshit on PS4

>explain how a store stays free

Well that's sort of a universal store thing. If you have to pay to shop somewhere, it's more of a private club or co-op than a store.

You had to respond with that after getting btfo? What a autismo faggot you must be. I'll be sure to inform the management. Thank you for your feedback. Have a nice day.

Sony fanboys shit all over MS and xbox Live during the PS3 era. It was the only thing Sony had going for them.

Then MS really fucked up with the Xbox One reveal and then Sony swept in and released the video making fun of them. but at the same time making PSN online multiplayer paid only.

>he pays extra for online

>PlayStation's vast library

>not just canceling ps+
>there are people who will still pay for ps+ despite this completely arbitrary and unnecessary price hike to just use netflix and play """"""free""""" indie shit for another year

There is literally no reason to have play station plus. There isn't a SINGLE good multiplayer game worth owning on PS4 and there aren't any coming out. The ONLY good ps+ game that came out in the last pay period worth playing was Furi, which you can literally just pirate on PC.

I make fun of the ps4's weebshit all the time and yet I don't ask for it on my platform of choice. Am I an outlier?

You don't have to spend a dime to ever use Steam if you don't want to or take advantages of the online services it offers.
