Getting that 60M

 

[cormack12]

I have about 9 things on my ps wishlist atm. Hoping for deals on:

Tlou pt 1
Forspoken
Dead Island 2
Jedi survivor

I can't buy physical as I have the superior digital edition only.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

"Up to 30%" has me worried that the base sub won't be discounted much.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Anybody want to summarize this in writing.

The bullet point deals

The bullet point deals

"We will have promotions everywhere"

 

[LiquidMetal14]

"We will have promotions everywhere"

Stunning and brave.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Is this where we buy the discounted ps plus for the old regular price?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Anybody want to summarize this in writing.

The bullet point deals

Increase the price of PS+ so that we can offer you a great discount at the original price, are we not merciful?!

 

[th4tguy]

The wording makes it sound like ps sub will only be discounted if you are new OR upgrading to a higher tier.

As with every Black Friday sale and every Golden week sale, I just wait and hope that the few obscure japanese wishlist games I added years ago finally go on sale. Even CoD games drop in price before they do.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Hopefully Baldur's Gate 3... but I doubt it.

is best summary

 

[Codes 208]

The kohls/sears strategy. Overcharge the product and then lower it to the standard msrp as a “sale”

 

[SEGAvangelist]

The wording makes it sound like ps sub will only be discounted if you are new OR upgrading to a higher tier.

The wording is strange, yeah.

 

[adamsapple]

Step 1: Increase PS+ Price
Step 2: Offer 30% discount to bring price back to 'regular'
Step 3: Label it as a "black friday deal"

clever girl.

If Extra is at or around 60~ anywhere, may add another year.

 

[semiconscious]

anyone else remembering back to when 'black friday deals' were actually deals?...

 

[Boss Mog]

So no PS+ deal for existing members to extend their current plan? I'm enjoying PS+ Extra but with the price hike I can't see myself continuing once my current sub ends.

 

[Celcius]

I already got another dualsense controller due to BestBuy's early black friday sales. I think I'm good.

 

[Fbh]

Might finally try Cyberpunk if there's a good deal for the base game + DLC.

anyone else remembering back to when 'black friday deals' were actually deals?...

Yeah I remember when they actually had "flash deals" during black friday and they were usually really good.
Now it's just a regular sale.

 

[StealthGoblin]

I was hoping to stack premium but it doesn't sound like that'll be achievable with a discount.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

I want to pick up Jedi Survivor, Lies of P and Plague Tale sequel.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

So no PS+ deal for existing members to extend their current plan? I'm enjoying PS+ Extra but with the price hike I can't see myself continuing once my current sub ends.

That's kinda how I read it as well... Surely Sony won't be this fucking greedy after just raising the annual PS+ prices...

 

[Ar¢tos]

Hopefully there will be a psvr2 discount!

 

[Unknown?]

anyone else remembering back to when 'black friday deals' were actually deals?...

Yes and so far it seems everywhere is doing this. Black Friday all month! Not! It's just a normal sale and having deep black Friday deals all month would either have empty shelves in a matter of days or bankrupt the retailer.

 

[Saber]

Hope the prices are good.

But taking into account that in my country, Black Friday promotions are called "Black Fraude", I have very low expectations.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

i want Ragnarok to be on sale. plus RE4 remake for 20 euro. Also Mirage. Damn i have no time to play al these games... Just finished Hogwards and am now running around shooting crazy robot dinosaurs. What a time to be alive!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

A little discount for Like A Dragon Gaiden would be cool.

 

[LectureMaster]

Hopefully Baldur's Gate 3... but I doubt it.

Yeah, need to buy on PS5 and get platinum. Games too good.

 

[analog_future]

Hopefully some of their games on PC see some sales too

 

[bender]

Red Dead Redemption please.

 

[semiconscious]

Yes and so far it seems everywhere is doing this. Black Friday all month! Not! It's just a normal sale and having deep black Friday deals all month would either have empty shelves in a matter of days or bankrupt the retailer.

i say we go with 'black november!' (unless, of course, anyone finds it offensive &/or 'hurtful')...

 

[Banjo64]

Guessing it’ll be the same everywhere? In the UK it’s 30% off Plus prices for new members, or members upgrading to a higher tier. 25% off for existing subscribers stacking.

Terrible.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

According to combat tactics, Black Friday is November 24.

There will be many people who compare PSN cards for the discount of ps plus , and there many scammers.

The evil scammers is so high

So, Sony supposedly says there will be a 30 percent discount on the PS PLUS.



So the tactic is to buy 2 cards of $50 cards, to already have the PS Plus Premium and save money throughout the year.

So im going to earn only this and get this cards


Lets go soldier

 

[Shake Your Rump]

“players who join PlayStation Plus can save up to 30%”

Oh, so the regular price before the increase? Gee, thanks.

 

[tommib]

I have about 9 things on my ps wishlist atm. Hoping for deals on:

Tlou pt 1
Forspoken
Dead Island 2
Jedi survivor

I can't buy physical as I have the superior digital edition only.

Get that Forspoken out of your wishlist. Don’t get fooled. Like me.

 

[Katajx]

I’ve been looking at OLEDs for awhile and it’s been marketed about the same. Hurry this deal won’t last long! Oh, it’s the same still, it’s just a “Black Friday” deal now.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Yeah, need to buy on PS5 and get platinum. Games too good.

I just saw on Twitter they strongly hinted at a PS5 physical release, so I might just wait on that actually.

 

[delfrickintree]

I got my ps4 slim during black friday 2017 for $199. Never again will I get a bargIn like that. I do miss the monthly flash sales that would be over the weekend and have 75% off random list of games. Maybe in the future we can have a discount on oxygen to breathe since everything costs so damn much!

 

[LectureMaster]

I just saw on Twitter they strongly hinted at a PS5 physical release, so I might just wait on that actually.

Thanks for the heads up. I would buy physical copy as well. Can you share the source?
Edit: Found it on their official Twitter, I hope there will be a fancy collector edition as well!

 

[Hestar69]

"Up to 30%" has me worried that the base sub won't be discounted much.

so as A ps+++ sub I can't get teh discount? lol that's some shit if true.

 

[Shifty1897]

My backlog is already gigantic though...

 

[LavitzSlambert]

When was the last time Sony actually ran any noteworthy promotions? All I see is 15-25% off full priced digital games and marked-up subscriptions.

 

[shaddam]

My backlog is huge on multiple platforms, but I'm sure I will find something again. Problaby smaller games (hopefully boltgun), as I dont think that the dead space remake, tlou part1 will get huge discount.

 

[Kerotan]

Praying for sniper elite 5 Hitler dlc sale soi can shoot him in the balls.

 

[GymWolf]

Do we know if they put a discount on the new headphones that are not released yet?

150 euros is a bit steep for something with sony dogshit build quality.

 

[Bernardougf]

anyone else remembering back to when 'black friday deals' were actually deals?...

You should see here where I leave ... 2 weeks previous to the BF they up all the prices by 25% and them give back the 25% on BF ... a simple google search and you can see the price curve.. its fucked up

 

[engstra]

I didn't realize, they offered a streaming service for the premium members. Downloaded it to see what they had to offer. Probably the saddest offering of movies I've seen.

 

[The ninja farmer]

Looking for resi4 and dead space at around £20. But have a feeling dead space will hit ps+ the month after I buy it

Also fancy robocop getting a good price cut to keep it relevant against a weak cod

Also curious like most about the psn sub discounts. Price rises and then discounts never sit well and you feel scammed (like most places do on Black Friday I guess these days )
