It's just smart. Don't like paying $50 a year to play online? Don't play online. Absolutely have to play online? Pay $50. Don't want to do that, go pay $60 a year and play on Xbox. It's a win-win-win situation for Sony as long as they keep it lower than Live.
Completely agree. And now I seen it marked down at some retailers for only $40.Originally Posted by I OU a Beatn
Which I have never seen happen with PS+
Damn really 40$ a year ? Damn that would be awesome!
Anyone have a link to one of these deals? If I buy a card now will it work once I get my PS4? I assume it doesn't activate until I "redeem" it right?

If you are a Reward Zone member (free), you can get it for $40.
I know that current memberships will carry over, but unsure on cards. I assume it would still work.
Saints Row The Third and Gods Eater Burst (PSP) out tomorrow on Plus.

CROSS-GAME CHAT! FINALLY! Oh, and you have to play for multiplayer on the PlayStation 4.
Sony has now confirmed that multiplayer on PlayStation 4 will require a PlayStation Plus subscription, and that cross-game chat will (finally) be available on launch of the new console.
Fergal Gara, Sony UK CEO, confirmed that the PS+ requirement came for two key reasons: “First of all, we wanted to introduce the console at a healthy price-point compared with PS3,” and the second was because Sony is “investing in a higher performance network, new things, better performance, [and] better reliability.”
However, a single PS+ subscription will cover all available Sony platforms (PS4, PS3, PS Vita, and PSP), and only the PS4′s multiplayer will require the subscription to function. Gara also took the opportunity to state what “immense value” PS+ currently is, covering all platforms, as well as providing free games of all types, and unique discounts on the PSN Store.
The PlayStation 3 was heavily criticized at launch for having an unrealistic price tag attached to it, approximately £425 in the UK, and currently the PlayStation 4 is sat very comfortable at a price tag of £349. A full £76 cheaper than the PS3′s launch price, and a slightly higher £80 cheaper than the current RRP of the Xbox One currently set at £429.
Gara also confirmed when when questioned on cross-game chat on the PS4: “It’s there.” Good. It’s about time, Sony.
I have no problem paying for Plus. I don't always agree with the content that's offered, but there's no arguing the value of the subscription if you have a PS3, a Vita, and are planning to get a PS4 in the future.
Hopefully the implementation of cross game chat is nice, fluid, and has a nice UI. Vita has cross game and party chat, but it's awfully clunky.
When you guys say cross game chat, you mean with headsets right?
Yes. You're able to chat with friends regardless of what game you guys are playing.
Ah ok got it.
Excited to play Virtue's Last Reward. I might get Escape Plan too.
This is REALLY impressive. I admit I was slow to warm up to this concept but + has proven to be more than worth it:
Which week is BF3 free?
I didn't know BF3 was coming to Plus. This month's games should be revealed at some point today.
I thought that was Europe. Could be wrong, but that is what I thought I read.
