Sony Interactive Entertainment will increase prices for PlayStation Plus for new customers in select regions starting May 20, the company announced, citing “ongoing market conditions.”
Not as crazy as i expected when clicking it. Still, gets harder and harder seeing places like this raise costs on stuff they could easily absorb the hit on yet rather pass the buck onto the consumer… for anyonr curious its a $1 increase to the 1 month and $3 increase to the 3 month, but nothing said about the annual plans.
So far i feel like i am super lucky. I set mine to autorenewal years ago and the extra years i brought before they changed the system and raised the prises got me by without worrying about the increase. They ended 2 years ago and i have only had to pay $80 a year for the full top tier subscription which i think is $150 a year. Just went through again a few months ago. I noticed if i cancel the auto renewal or try to pay for it outside this it will charge the full amount. So i will absolutely not change anything and happily accept this amazing glitch! From what i read online there are some others that had this happen as well and had to do with the extra years and services combined that made this somehow get stuck. Everyone says do not touch it! Maybe one day they will correct it, but here is hoping this lasts at least a few more years because i would not pay $150 anyway lol.

Inflation affects everyone. a $1 price increase is more in line with inflation of the past few years.
