From September 6, Sony will increase the price for 12 months of PlayStation Plus Essential (currently, $59.99 / £49.99 / €59.99), PlayStation Plus Extra (currently $99.99 / £83.99 / €99.99), and PlayStation Plus Premium (currently $119.99 / £99.99 / €119.99).
Here are the new prices:
PlayStation Plus Essential 12-Month Subscription: $79.99 / £59.99/ €71.99
PlayStation Plus Extra 12-Month Subscription: $134.99 / £99.99 / €125.99
PlayStation Plus Premium 12-Month Subscription: $159.99 / £119.99 / €151.99
Why are they doing this? Because:
“This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service.”
But we all know the real reason is that they're the market leaders and they're greedy so they're doing it because they can. The slogan they use for Playstation is "For The Players" but it feels more like "Fuck The Players".
