PlayStation Plus….Is it worth it?
PlayStation along with almost every other company in the world is offering Memberships.. but why should you go ahead and spend your hard earned money on this PS+ Membership?
Because it actually doesn’t suck. for one.
But really because it has a great amount of features for a little amount of money.
- 1 month- 9.99
- 3 months-24.99
- 12 months- 59.99
There is a great deal that is permanent. The deal as you can see in the pricing above is. When you purchase the 3 months your getting the two months at the regular price of 9.99 and then your only paying 5.01 for the 3rd month. I think that is a pretty great deal for membership. Considering they aren’t trying to get you to buy a premium membership and telling you upgrade all the time.
You can purchase this membership online or you can go to a local retailer and buy a gift card for this. (actually that is how I found out about this.. my boyfriends mom tried to buy him a PlayStation gift card and ended up purchasing this membership. lol)
You can also sign up for this membership on your PS4 or through the PlayStation App. So basically PlayStation said Hi there.. buy this… its in your face and easy to get to. Seriously though… they made it really easy to sign up and get a lot of great features. Although they did leave one problem… There is a small box at the bottom of the membership page that is automatically checked for reoccurring billing. (you may want to uncheck that)
Now onto the features. What you actually get for your money.
A PS+ Membership allows you to download to games on any device from the list of selected games that they offer to you monthly.
This membership also allows you to use SharePlay. SharePlay is were you allow one of you friends (online only) to play any game that you select for one hour. So if you have a friend that wants to try a game, you can help them out.
You as a member also receive special discounts on games in the playstation store.
And the membership on the device will extend to the subaccounts on the device as well, As long as the account holder has that device set as they Primary PS4.
Another great perk is the full game timed trials and exclusive access to game betas. This also pairs with the Online Game Saving. Which means that even if your membership lapses for any reason. Your data will still be saved and waiting for you to renew your membership.
In conclusion… is it worth it?
Yes, This is definitely a great deal. This entire post may have seemed a little weird and I want you to know that PlayStation in no way shape or form asked me to write it or in fact had any impact on it. I really just thought that it was a great deal and wanted anyone reading this blog to know about it.
I honestly hope that you find it to be a great of an asset to your gaming life as I have. And if you know some other awesome things you can do with the membership please let me know in the comments below.
