Are there any real offers at all? I have the feeling that everyone raises their prices first and then sells the product to the customer at the previous normal price with a supposedly discounted offer.

PS plus is. Even has a discount on upgrades which I don't remember seeing or just never noticed.

It reads that way to me 🤦‍♂️ it would be nice if they found a way to reward loyalty 🤷‍♂️
I got a 25% offer on PSN for renewing premium a couple of days ago because it was expiring. No sale or anything , seemed like a personal offer. I don't think I've ever seen this before.

Interesting. Mine was expiring and I got nothing, so yeah maybe targeted. I had to re-up at full price, but obviously bought PSN vouchers to get a ~20% discount

PS Plus became 20% to 26% more expensive last year. The current offer is therefore only 4% - 10% cheaper compared to 2023.
Ok there is no alternative and there are basic features that people value like cloud saves and multiplayer hidden behind a paywall, so people will bite the bullet, but I wouldn't call it a great deal.

It looks like there won't be a renewal deal of active PS+ subscribers, but you'll be able to upgrade your essential tier to extra or premium at a discount for the remainder of your sub.

Going to wait until my PS+ Extra expires in April and then see if I get a renewal discount because last year I had to wait like 2-3 weeks till they offered me a deal (I think it was 25% or something).

I wonder if the upgrade is with Portal users in mind
Isn't it only if you are not currently subscribed?
Looks like there's both. New and an upgrade path but the upgrade is tiered discount

Have Baldur's Gate 3, Rebirth, Stellar Blade and Cyberpunk Complete edition on my list.
Hopefully there's a decent discount on at least 1 of them.

There are definitely some real deals.
But the best thing you can do during big sale events like these, be it for games or other stuff, is to use some price tracking site (like Psdeals for PSN) to see if it's actually a historically low price for the product or not.

i always get a chuckle when people say they are waiting for a sale on this.

game would be worth it even if it was double the price.

and it's selling even better these days so Larian definitely ain't in any rush to give a huge discount. You'll get $10 off if you're lucky.
I am glad I made you laugh.

I am a very patient person, I agree we should reward top quality games with our hard earned money and it sounds like Bladurs Gate 3 is that.

It's not my usual type of game though and I am not sure if I will like it.

I buy plenty of games Day one, but I am finding myself getting more patient as I get older and have less time. I am not one of these people that has FOMO or anything like that, so I am quite happy to wait for certain games and it always pays off well.

So I have 4 months left in my premium sus subscription. No discount for me?

What if I convert my 4 months into Extra, will I be able to get 30% off?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

No, lol.

If it's like last year, there will only be discounts if you're getting a new sub or if you're upgrading from lower to higher. I don't think going from higher to lower will do anything (or that it's possible ?)
 
Fair enough. That doesn't sound so bad then.
I get what you mean though. I saved like 30 bucks from this and then i'm out here looking for a 120€ disc drive for my 800€ PS5 Pro that barely updates my base PS5 games for now so my saving choices could be better measured, lmao.

I recently bought a PS5 so got PS+ for a year. I hope I can buy an additional year at a discount.

You can downgrade but only after your current subscription ends. Lmao.

They were offering a 25% for existing premium members until 2025. Well seems like they removed it.
