PS+ Membership: Deals?

[Jeff Strong]

I'm thinking about finally taking the plunge and getting PSN+ so I can score some of the free games (probably should've done it long ago), but I'm kind of in penny-pincher mode right now...so I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Christmas deals on a year membership, or even a 3 month?

Too bad you're just thinking about it now. I got Spelunky and Terraria for 3.75 two weeks ago. And bear hazard ultra and some other little gems for 2.50.

Don't think there's much of any deals right now. Black Friday you could have gotten a year for 30 bucks. Sometimes Target discounts these so keep a watchful eye.

Yeah, I'm bummed I missed the Black Friday deal.

If you have a PayPal account, then you can get $10 back on PSN when you spend $50. Just add $50 to your PSN wallet by using PayPal and then buy the 1 year subscription. You better hurry though, since today is the last day for the deal.

Didn't Spoonman get a bunch of extra codes that he didn't want during the Black Friday sale? Maybe he would sell you one at cost or close..

There's always a good stream of free games coming through it, more than I can even come close to keeping up with. Definitely worth it even at full price.

Canadian codes no good for you right? We have Boxing Day sales (Dec 26) which maybe include PSN discounts (in most European countries, Christmas is 2 days, 1st and 2nd Christmas Day but I don't think there's a sale right after).

PS+ is a fantastic deal, discount or not. The freebies have awesome. Grid 2, Borderlands 2, Hitman Absolution - these are big-time titles, all free.

 

[Jeff Strong]

Agreed man. Wish I had realized this earlier. I didn't know they gave you so many top titles, for less than the price of one new $60 game.

Well, until 2013, PS+ deals were never.

Then early 2013 saw a spend-$50-get-$10 deal alongside buy-1-year-get-3-months-free.

Then there was another one in October this eyar - spend $50, get $10.

All those were on the PSN store - you had to buy it through PSN directly and not redeem a PS+ card.

For Canada, it appears PS+ cards are going to be $30 on Dec. 26 as a boxing day deal. And no, Canadian cards are NOT valid in the US.

(And for completeness, you should never spend more than $50 (reg. $60) for Xbox Live as there are deals almost constantly for it - at least once every 2-3 months. It's really regular.)
