Nokra Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Apologies if this has been asked a million times, but I just got a PS5 and am trying to decide which, if any, to go for. I'm curious what anyone here thinks of the different levels and if they're worth it. If it helps for any context, I'm mostly wanting to play PS5 exclusives.

TwinIon Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I don't pay for any level of it right now. I think I got a year sub on sale when the PS5 first came out, but I never renewed it. I have plenty of games and don't play multiplayer, so no need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Just the plain ole PS Plus that allows me to go online, play CoD, kill bitches, and act like a piece of shit. Sooooo worth the money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I got the highest level when I bought my PS5 last November, and there was a sale on PS+. If I renew, it probably won’t be at that level. It was exciting when I first got the system, but then I downloaded a bunch of games and barely played them. I end up spending a lot more time on my Xbox w/Game Pass, so PS+ is slightly redundant.

gamer.tv Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The middle one - so I have access to lots of games on rotation, free games each month, but not to classic games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Come to think, I need to re-up my PS Plus membership because it expires July 9th. Does anyone know of a good deal for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The lowest tier. They could have me so easy, too. But they are almost trying to make the service bad it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The middle tier has gotten better, and if I didn't have the backlog that I do I'd be tempted to try it out. But I mean primarily their classics library has really underwhelmed me, as well as just having classic games you can't get piece meal and have to go through their subscription. It irks me.

crispy4000 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The only time I’ve ever subscribed was when someone else bought me a gift card. I get more than enough library stuffers out of EGS, Prime gaming, Humble choice on occasion, etc. And I don’t play online on console anymore due to the fees.

Brian Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The tippity top. I don’t plan to renew. It feels redundant due to Game Pass. I rather keep Game Pass as Microsoft’s 1st part hits day 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealSmallville Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I just signed up for PS+ Extra a few days ago. I don't play online, but I signed up for the game catalog. I've been an Xbox guy since the launch of the 360, but having a PS5 gives me access to tons of exclusives that I bought the system for. Most of them are PS4 games w/PS5 upgrades, but still. FF7 Remake, Days Gone, Ghosts of Tsushima, Detroit: Become Human, all that kinda shit. Most of the games I want to play are older I guess, but they're new to me. I signed up for a year, so I figure that's a ton of games I've wanted to play forever for only $100. Not too shabby. You can access the game catalog list without a subscription if you're curious what's in it. You can see it through the console itself or online/through the PS app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slug Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Whatever they're calling the normal regular-ass PS+ sub these days. The "play online and get the couple free games each month" one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardAct Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Right now the most expensive price bracket and I'm not even playing my PS5 or ps4 AT ALL THE LAST 3 months especially. I still have all the big AAA titles to play and I mean them ALL!! I could buy nothing for the console for over a year and play no other system period and be good for over a year easily. If I had to guess I say I have less than 45 hours total on the system. Only games this year i've beaten on any system is Dead Space remake and Re4 remake. Sad really. I've kept up with the ps+ super top tier offerings all installed ready to go along with Games like God of War: Ragnorok, Deathloop, Ratchet & Clank: Rift, Dying light 2, Both Spidermans, Demon Souls remake, Elden ring, Horizon zero dawn, Death stranding, only 4 hours in. Returnal, Stray, even Ghost of Tsuthima and I could go on all bought day one! Except Stray it was free (free yea that's what it was.....lo.). Sad really......: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexterryu Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 "Extra" I think. The middle one since I have zero interest in "classic" games. Was a good value initially to play a bunch of games that I didn't want to buy, but now it's gotten really stale and has a ton of junk games. Might just opt to go to the low tier next year depending on the price. I probably would have done that last year had I not purchased during a black Friday sale. That said... even with the stale library it's hard to say it's a bad value when you look at the delta between the two when on sale. I think there was less than a $25 difference for the year between the essential and extra versions with the sale. $25 wasn't too bad a gamble considering, and I have played through a couple of games on it.

Did you all get it during a Black Friday sale? If so, I guess I have a while to wait . What I did do was go to Costco and take advantage of their deal: 4x$25 (i.e. $100) worth of PSN credit for $90. I got two of them (the max allowed) so I've got $200 in PSN credit but paid $180. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
