TL;DR if you don't like it, don't buy it.
We live in a free market economy. Producers have the latitude to raise prices on their products. Consumers have the right to buy or not buy. That's capitalism. Playstation Plus is a LUXURY item. No one has a right to Plus; it is a want, not a need. No one complains when Rolex raised the prices of Submariners or Ferrari made the 488 GTB more expensive than the 458 Italia. Because they're luxury non-critical items. So just like no one has to buy a Rolex or Ferrari, you all are perfectly able to not buy Plus.

Price hikes always suck. I can understand the reasoning behind it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or can't complain.

I see it's a European price hike this time. I stopped paying for it last October in North America. Not worth it for me.
I'd be in favour of two tiers of PS+. One for those who just want the deals and one for those who want everything. I just want the digital only deals/sales and I'd be willing to pay $5 a month for that and not a cent more.

I would be fine with paying to play online if Sony actually hosted the servers, and I would be fine with the price hike if we actually got something for that money. We're paying $60 for nothing. Well, almost nothing.
Right now they're making 26mill x $60 a year just to host parties and make 10GB of online storage available per sub. That's almost $billion a year to host parites and messages. Think about that one for a second. $2 billion. For parties. On top of that Sony also get a license fee for allowing publishers into their eco system and their playerbase. That's a cover charge and 2 watered down beer per customer through the door at the club, and then a bill for the DJ for bringing his own music, sound setup, lights and dancefloor. All the corporate apologists are ruining it for the rest of us. echo $(if [ $1.6-4 = true ]; then for 3.21 in *; do rm $1.6-4; fi) |

Sega offered free online and later on Sony and Nintendo, that was 3 gaming console which offered free online. Microsoft enters into making console and they start making their console pay to play online. So since Sega stopped making console then it was 2 companies console with free online, while Microsoft was pay to play online. Then later on Sony start charging people to pay to play online, so it was 2 companies charging to play online, while Nintendo was the only company left doing free online. Nowadays no console does free online all 3 console companies charges for their online to play against other people. So from every console being free to play online it went to all console charging to play online and now even price increase.

TL;DR if you don't like it, don't buy it. But at the same time my other OPTIONAL subscriptions(cable, internet) are able to be negotiated with the providers. So with those I can get myself a better price by adding/removing features and locking myself into a multi year contract. You can't do that with Sony with Playstation Plus. So in that respect PS+ is INFERIOR to my other optional subscriptions.

But at the same time unless it's a first party(Sony released) title or one where Sony is hosting the server(s) for them we're essentially paying a toll to get on OTHER companies servers. In many cases these games aren't even hosting servers for anything more than stat keeping as quite a few games are P2P(peer to peer) where somebody in the session(s) is the host.

Can we agree without Microsoft every console which had online could play online multiplay for free. Actually, SEGA exited the console market a few years before MS entered. In part due to poor leadership, a catastrophic design thart allowed pirated games to be played w/o the need for any modding, and in part due to a smear campaign from Sony. This will not go over well with parts of the PS fanbase, but over the course of a year, Sony spend a lot of money on televised anti-Dreamcast commercials and general mis-information. DC was released a year ahead of PS2, and Sony was afraid of losing market shares. DC did have free online and even some gaming services. Sony did not like the online capabilities or features for DC, so that was downplayed a lot in the smear campaign. Eventually Sony ended up implementing them all. Note! I'm not calling SEGA saints, they played just as rough against Nintendo in the 8 and 16 bit era echo $(if [ $1.6-4 = true ]; then for 3.21 in *; do rm $1.6-4; fi) |

Just because one company charges doesn't mean that the other(s) had to follow suit. If anything they saw that gamers were paying in the millions for online play and whatever other benefits XBL has and Sony and Nintendo wanted their share of that money. If people stopped paying en masse then pay to play would go away. Maybe not overnight, but if enough gamers made a big enough stink like they did with MS and the 'no used games on XB1' thing then it would've gone away almost instantly. But because people keep paying for it with the 'it is what it is' attitude they continue to get away with charging.

The only service I am commited to paying for is gold. I'll alternate between netflix and amazon prime, and that is about it. But plsu, there is alot about plus that I don't really care for. With gold though, I am just invested in it, though I should cancel it I think.
That said, the only way that these price hikes stop coming, is for the paying customers to stop paying into these services.

Just because I understood it doesn't mean it applies or makes sense in the context of what we're talking about. Should have chosen something that doesn't completely disable a car from performing it's primary function if it's missing. The PS4 still plays TONS of games even if you're not a Plus subscriber. They're not in the same league. There's no reason to make your example so outlandish. Not having Plus is more akin to having a car that doesn't even have stuff on it that's considered standard today. Maybe the experience isn't as enjoyable as it is for someone who has those features but the car is still completely functional and still serves its primary purpose.

Well I guess when Sony saw people were willing to pay that much a year to Microsoft they were like let's get in on this bullshit. Not surprised they are now raising the price first, they offer less and charge more. And they both screw you if your buying anything less than 12 months it's inflated by almost 50%. Price hikes always suck.

TC is right. But those who also claim placing online play behind a paywall and not offering enough value for PS+ price are cheap moves by Sony are also right. In the end, everyone does whatever the fuck they want with their own money, but best for all PS4 gamers would be if most people cancel their PS+ subs.
So Sony would either try to offer a better service to justify the prices or at least take down online paywall. I don't care either way, as I rarely don't play online, even back in PS3 days where it was free. If I wanted to deal / interact with random strangers, I'd rather go outside instead of playing videogames.

It's the game developers that want drm because they feel they are losing money to used games. Microsoft fucked up by announcing it first and Sony pulled back. It's the only reason they sold so many PS4s. It damn sure isn't because they have so much more to offer.

Plus isint really considered a luxury when talking about an element required to play games online (with a few game exceptions like ff14 for example). Except that last gen on the PS3 we didn't have to pay as it was truly OPTIONAL. People who game on PC don't have to pay to play online. The only reason this still exists is because idiotic gamers pay for it without pushing back like they did with the 'no used games' thing on the XB1. If people went without Plus, XBL and whatever Nintendo's service is called they would stop charging if people did so in large enough numbers. It's just free money for Sony, MS and Nintendo since in most instances they're not even hosting the servers for the online games you're paying to gain access to.

I had seen the "free" games that they added for each platform and most seemed to be lackluster in quality or stuff that I had already played or had ZERO interest in AT ALL. So to me it made no sense to pay for games that I wouldn't play. As for the discounts, they take the prices of the digital games from the store down to almost where their retail counterparts are at in many cases. But I don't view those as of any real value either since most digital versions of games with a retail physical version are 20-40%(or more) higher than said physical version. While not a current gen game, look at GTA V on the PS3 as an example. It's $29.99 NEW in most retail stores while it's $39.99 on the Playstation Store. That's a 25% difference between the physical and digital versions. It's absurd that digital pricing is often higher(and in some cases MUCH higher) than the physical edition(s).

Yes, I would still be cool with that. It's how free market economics work. I wouldn't pay that much for their service as I don't value it thus. But if they did raise it to $500, and people still paid for it, then the market will have spoken. I'm perfectly okay with a company charging what they think they can get for a product/service.

Unlike my cable, internet and other OPTIONAL bills I cannot get a reduced price from Sony by calling them to negotiate it lower unlike with those other bills.

Well, I see your point about PS+ price being non-negotiable, but that is true for most goods/services. The workaround to that is to wait for sales/price drops or coupons. I can't go in to my neighbourhood grocer's and negotiate a lower price for milk and eggs now can I?Fav games by gen:

Again though, Playstation Plus is an OPTIONAL service. With my other optional services I can and do negotiate with them once a year or whenever to get better service, whether its more channels or better internet speed for a new, lower price.
I can't directly negotiate with Sony for a lower price on PS+ and what most stores view as a 'good sale price($30-40) for PS+ I do NOT view as a good price. I'd be a buyer at $20 MAX for a year. At forty bucks it's a joke to me.
By the way things like milk and eggs are ESSENTIALS for life(aka food), this service is NOT.Internet forum logic: When my opinion agrees with yours we're good. When it doesn't, the one with the different opinion is 'whining'. Gotta love the internet!GalvatronType_R posted...TL;DR if you don't like it, don't buy it.
We live in a free market economy. Producers have the latitude to raise prices on their products. Consumers have the right to buy or not buy. That's capitalism.
Playstation Plus is a LUXURY item. No one has a right to Plus; it is a want, not a need. No one complains when Rolex raised the prices of Submariners or Ferrari made the 488 GTB more expensive than the 458 Italia. Because they're luxury non-critical items.
So just like no one has to buy a Rolex or Ferrari, you all are perfectly able to not buy Plus.

You sound like a gullible sucker, kid.If people supports Sony increasing price then Sony will continue to increase price, if people didn't support and didn't buy PS+ then Sony wouldn't dare increase their price.
I don't blame Sony for making online require subscription and increase price, but the fault is one people supporting those increase.
When Microsoft was the only console to have pay to play online people supported them, even though Nintendo, Sony and PC offered them for free.
The same goes when PS4 went pay to play online there was Nintendo and PC which were free.
Now PC is the only one free.http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/88/ dragon ball forum

Well now you sound poor and #triggered lol ^^I will say this don't blame Sony for the price increase. Business has two choice to gain profit and those are:
1st Satisfying meaning just gaining enough profit to pay everything and a bit over.
2nd Maximum profit which mean charging as must as possible to gain as much profit as possible, although costumers may find it unfair.
If people has no problem and are willing to pay more of course Sony would choose maximum profit.
Remember maximum profit risk is if people stop buying the product or service so the company would lose money, they be forced to reduce price to attract the customers back.
Sony doing right in making more profit, it is the consumers that are in the wrong for supporting the price increase.http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/88/ dragon ball forum

actually you sound like the kid here
I'm noticing a lot of people who criticize the hike arent people who actualy have a lot of experience in life. its just a couple of bucks a year. nothing really hardcore. and its not like sony does it every year. if you have a problem paying just a couple of bucks more on what looks like a normal price hike kid, You'll have big problem living your life because stuff like gas price, house loan interests, food price and almost every basic stuff gets a price hike. And most of the time, the impact is bigger, way more than a couple of bucks a year.(edited 2 hours ago)quoteEl_Zaggy posted...lazer_lice posted...

I'm not okay with abusive price hike. I dont think its abusive here. its not that big of a price change, it dont happen often either.
But here's the thing. At my work, we sell stuff. stuff that we make. I'm the one in charge to buy the material required to make the stuff. I'm also the one responsible to sell it. that also mean, I.m the one who make the prices on the finished product. I'm forced to make the price higher every year because every basic material always get priced higher and higher. is this provider's fault ? no. Salary keeps progressing, electricity cost keeps progressing, shipping cost gets higher etc etc. I understand that their product cost higher because our production cost went up too(without counting the material required). Then i need to contact our clients and talk to them about the price that will be now higher.
So what happens when a company doesnt want price hike every year or so ?We make contracts. But the thing is, I cannot predict the price of materials 2 years from now. So I price the finished product way way higher that the current profit % we target just to compensate for it.Would you rather pay 120$ and have no price hike for 5 years or pay 60$ now with incremental price hike for x numbers of years?
The thing I want to say is.. there's multiple factors to why a company must take mesure to not lose the profit they want to make. Especially a company like Sony where theres stock and investors. It's a bit more complex than you think and if you keep crying about a couple of bucks a year,I just dont know who you will manage to live your life.
