Obviously not as good as Amazon price on the prime day but may be useful for those who want to renew before the price hike.

Ps + going up to 49.99 a year what a joke!!

Reading the comments it's because they were waiting for a code to be sent to them which is not how it works. You click on your order in your profile and get the code in there. It boggles my mind how people failed to figure that out. Ordered mine and got the code about 15 minutes later - delay was due to how slow the site is right now, suspect they are getting hammered for the deal.
There is already a thread for it, so I won't repost a new one. Hope this helps.

£10 on each account is going to bring in alot more cash for Sony, I would like to think that better games each month will now be made available and sooner than previously. To be fair July & August have been pretty decent so it's either a sweetener or things to comes.

Yeah, it's a large jump to come all at once. It would be a difficult call as to what comes across best. If there had been, say, a £2 increase each year, would that have been better received, despite being overall a larger increase?
VincentGO

Good answer. It is fair for Sony not to raise the price for so long and keeping their loyal customer happy but a £10 increment can considerably a huge jump.

Did Sony justify why they had put the price up?

Prices almost always increase over time, and Europe didn't get an increase at the same time as the US did last year. Also bear in mind that for the UK in particular, our currency is much weaker than it was only a few years ago.
From a quick check with an inflation calculator (based on CPI), PS Plus' 2010 launch price of £40 (which hasn't previously increased) is equivalent to £46 today, and that's before factoring in exchange rates and other factors. Use RPI instead and the inflationary impact is ever more marked.

If I buy say 5 years worth of playstation plus before 31st August and redeem the codes, does that mean I will avoid the price increase til the 5 years is finished?

I hope you all jumped on this before they lifted their prices! Stacked up to 2020, I was hoping they'd release some cool colab between Plus and PS Now and increase the price, but sadly not...

All gone now.. i had it in my basket, got distracted at work and forgot to purchase, now it's sold out at £32 :disappointed:
Sent them an email highlighting that the scan could be used for fraud and how email is not a safe channel to be sending such information. Gave them my phone number if they wanted to discuss it further..... code has just arrived :smiley:

Remember to go into wallet and turn off auto add funds.
Sony make it the hardest thing to even log into your account online and mange auto update without having to google full details.

Funny how they've pretty much offered average (at best) ps4 content for years, then have a decent last few months then hike the price. I got a feeling Sept/Oct games and onwards will be poor.

28 Jul 17#12
No I've never had that, but I do know they are fully legit and you will get your code. Just contact them and say send the code or cancel and I'm sure you'll get your code quick enough!

I got asked to sent photo id last around 18 months ago as i purchased around 6 codes in 2 different trasactions as they were heavily discounted.
Spoke on live chat - was to prevent fraud and to check if i was possibly reselling them on as thats againsed their terms and conditions.
Send them photo of driving licence and had codes within 10 minutes.

Do people ever pay the RRP of £39.99 for PS+ in general? i'll always just searched for deals. I suppose it most likely go up by £10 in general across all retailers selling it sub £50 (i.e. £31.99 to £41.99)
Spidersmudge

Very weird that they even ask for that, I agree!

Have they said why they increased price ? or is it just pure greed
