PLAYSTATION PLUS SUBSCRIPTIONS TO RISE IN PRICE NEXT MONTH
0Here are the show notes in case your inclined to read and not listen:
- Starting September 22nd Playstation will be raising the prices of Playstation Plus Subscriptions as follows:
- 1 Year will now be $59.99 (Was $49.99)
- 3 Months will now cost $24.99 (Was $17.99)
- 1 Month will raise to $11.99 (In Canada only, Thank God)(Still $9.99 here)
- Sony released a statement saying, "The new pricing reflects the current market conditions while enabling us to continue providing exceptional value to our members."
- Let's break this down:
- "...reflects current market conditions.."
- Well your just saying that your adjusting your prices to match Xbox.
- I think this is a bad idea for two reasons:
- The cheaper subscription was a selling point for some people.
- Your already winning the "console race" so you don't need to raise prices.
- They are using this to recoup on the loss of NPD they suffered at the hands of Xbox
- "...continue providing exceptional value..."
- Value to me ISN'T raises prices on something I already thought was great.
- I get the business side of things so I am not too mad but still I'm cheap as crap.
- They better copy off Xbox and let me keep the games they "Give away" then I'll feel like that was "exceptional value"
- Will you continue to use PS+ I will but let me know in the comments below!
