PLUS IS MORE!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2016

Playstation Plus is a paid service that is OPTIONAL for users of the Playstation Network. The service provides users with discounts, free games, online storage and much more that I will outline below. The offered digital Playstation Plus subscription code is a safe alternative for users who do not Own, or wish to give their credit card to Sony, or use Playstation Network Cash cards.

VALUE
There are currently two models of subscription; 3mo @ $17.99 or ~$6.00/mo and 12mo @ $49.99 or ~4.17/mo. Obviously the best deal is the 12mo offer. **This card gives you a 3mo subscription**

PROS
- Every month the Playstation Store will have featured products available for Playstation Plus users. This often amounts to at least one free "featured" game offered per month, as well as various other free titles.

- Playstation plus holders will also receive special discounts on select items, which changes every month. The price reduction can be anywhere from 10% to 75% off an item or package deal.

- Exclusive features! Automatic Download service to keep all your games up-to-date without physically having to launch the title. 150MB of online data storage for your save game files or data files (You can even back up copy-restricted saves)

- FULL GAME TRIALS. That is right folks. On the boarder about that new title that just came out. Playstation Plus members get a "full game trial". It acts as if you physically bought the game and allows you 1 full hour of game play before disabling itself.

- Early access! As a Plus member you will receive early access to game demos and be given priority when it comes to specific Beta invite handouts, Plus members are first to get access.

- Free Plus themes and avatars. Not exactly amazing but who doesn't love free stuff!

CONS
- As a playstation plus member you have access and perks from all the above. BUT if you do not renew your subscription any Playstation PLUS item you received that was *FREE* such as a featured game, or maybe an avatar/theme will become "disabled" upon expiration of your PLUS subscription.
*** Any Item you had to physically pay for, even if it had a special PLUS discount of 99% will not be disabled upon expiration of your subscription

So what it amounts to, anything FREE you get from PLUS is really more of a long term rental as long as you are PS+, while items you pay for even with a discount will always be yours.

OVERALL
The playstation plus plan is not for everyone. However it is a plan that rewards its subscribers with plenty of perks and loads of content each month. If you think about it, at $4-$6/mo and a free $10-$15 game each month in theory the subscription pays for itself each month, not even factoring in all the other perks like the free full game demos. While the $17.99 card is not the best deal, it makes a great card to experience Playstation PLUS for 3 months without laying out too much money.

Dependence

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020

I used to buy this memberships for my son, what I can see from this platforms they generate dependence and anxiety in kids and young. As per their comments PS4 becomes very obsolete and limited if not membership subscription available. I know there is developing and technology but also can generates frustration in cases where can't afford it. This is MHO

PLUS IS MORE!!!!!

I was a little apprehensive at first, being an Xbox Live for so many years, I didn't know if Playstation could match them. Never thought I would say this, but Playstation Plus is notch better than Live in my opinion.

First off, you get a ton of different games, avatar pics, themes, etc. for free! It's already known to most people that these things are essentially rentals, lasting up until your subscription expires. Honestly, that isn't a huge drawback if you think about it really. You're paying about 5/6 bucks a month to play those games, which is a lot less than if you purchased every thing separately.

Another big plus is timed trials. I like playing demos, but sometimes it still isn't enough when deciding to get a game. So it's pretty cool that they let you try out several FULL games for 60 minutes, which is plenty of time to figure if the game is for you or not. Plus it picks up after where you left off!

Discounts are another thing to look forward to when getting Plus. Especially with the smaller games like Bejeweled and whatnot.

The cloud save feature is really useful and I love how it automatically updates and keeps everything up to date on a set time. I set my mine to download/sync everything around when I'm asleep so when I wake up and turn it on, I don't have to wait for it to sync/download.

If you don't want to drive around to get a subscription code, this is the best way to do it. As soon as you purchase your code, it's immediately sent to you! No hassle or anything, it's super awesome.

tip: Get the 12 month if you're a heavy PS3/PSV user, I only got the 3 month because I was little apprehensive about the service, subscription services scare me haha.

Plus is a Nice Deal and this Card is Convenient

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

Well, PS+ is a very neat deal. See the website for details, but it's fairly simple in concept: it's essentially Netflix for Playstation games. But there are additional perks like discounted purchases (you can buy full games, movies, music, etc.)
Also, one subscription works across several devices. I own a PS3 and a Vita and use the service for both. I can also buy and add to my download list from either the PS3, the Vita, or a PC.
Another great feature: when you add a free game to your download list, it stays in that list and stays available to you even after that game has been removed from the service.
Also, say you let your subscription expire, then wait a few months and then decide to start it up again. Those games will still be in your download list, read to download and play.
The card itself is a great way to try out the plan without giving Sony your credit card information. When you buy, you are given a code that you can then enter online to start your subscription. I couldn't find a link on a PC to do this. I actually talked to a service rep who told me the easiest way was on a PS3. I tried that and found where to enter the code pretty easily.
Please keep in my my analogy about Netflix. If you stop paying for the subscription, you will not be able to play any of the "free" games. Just like Netflix. If you cancel Netflix, you don't get to watch those movies anymore.

What you get far outweighs the cost!!

I used to work at a game store and it was dumbfounding how many people passed up PlayStation Plus. Granted, a year is almost the price of a brand new game, but the perks are well worth it. The best option to go for is a year as that is the best deal and can usually be found on sale for around $35, so shop around for that. I couldn't find any sales when I needed it so I went for the 3 months.

Many games require PlayStation Plus to play online but this is not the only reason that makes it such a great deal. The free games you get every month is. Every month you get several free games for each system. The PS3, PS4, and the Vita all get free games. I'm not talking crappy games (though some are) but big releases in some cases, older big releases but top games none the less. Even if the game doesn't appeal to you, grab it anyways and give it a try. It's free and who knows, you may like it.

My PS3 and PS4 are chock full of free games as well as ones I've bought. Since the PS4 is so new most of the free games you get for that are indies, but still some decent ones.

My son has his own ps4 and wanted to renew his playstation plus membership, but the ps4 kept rejecting all of my debit/credit cards, so I got clever and found that I can do it through Amazon.

After you purchase the membership Amazon will email you the voucher code that you can then take and input directly onto your ps4 through the redeem codes section on your ps4 (google for more help.)

I got mixed up at first thinking I had to click the redeem button which then took me to sony to input a code I didn't have/recognize when it's the "voucher code" displayed in the initial email. Confusing? I know lol. Basically, don't click the redeem button. Just look for the voucher code inside the email that is sent after you purchase the membership and enter it directly on the ps4 etc.

If for some reason you can't purchase PSN credits directly from your PS3, this is an excelent alternative to do so. Pay exactly what it costs, Amazon gives you the code, enter it at the Playstation Store and game away. Thats it. Brilliant stuff.

Now, about Playstation Plus, anyone who is serious about the time they spend gaming will find a lot of benefit from subscribing to Playstation Plus. Though I must say the $50 subscription is much more cost effective, but if you feel like getting a taste of what Plus has to offer this 3 month subscription is alright.

If you only play videogames casually I wouldn't recommend it. But if you find yourself investing lots of weekly hours in games, this will be a healthy add-on. Store discounts, exclusive demos, and access to free game downloads... though by free they actually mean free as long as you are a Plus member. Consider it more of a game rental. Plus also gives your PS3 extra features like automatic system updates and optional cloud storage.

So yeah, if you are a videogame fan, I would say go for it. Give it a try for 3 months and do your own math. You WILL tell if it feels like you "saved" or "spent" anything.

Excelent Purchase

This card its an excellent way to try the PSN+ Advantages, this will save you money by the fact that there are a lof of good games that you get for free, some might not be as fun as you think but to try some games it's really good, you will get more for what you paid. Just take this in count, everygame that you get for free with PSN+ will be working just while u have the suscription, once this is gone, you wont be able to play them, unless you renew. Thats the only catch of this cards, all the games with discount will work, except for the free games. So far this have worked fine, since i've downloaded good games for free, i've purchased with discount some other games. This help you with some free games that you migh want to play just once and then forget about them. It's cheaper than buying the disc, altho some games are not available through PSN+ (like Gran Turismo, God Of War, Sims 3, and some others.) and you can only get them through physical disc, not digital, for all other games, this card will be your window to the best games.

Free games anyone

If I had access to my PS3 this would be awesome, It really does give out at least on big game a month and always has some classics like the infamous games. but i'm currently only a vita player and the PSN account just isn't good enough. I got the plus account because i want to play Gravity Rush for the Vita and it cost $35 while the plus account only cost $17.99. It was cheaper and i also got to play a few other games for free as well. For my 3 months with it it was worth it, simply to play gravity rush, but now that i've finished it and i alread own uncharted, there really isn't anthing elses it offered that blows my mind and i simply see it as a moey pit. I was thinking about the deal playstation had, buy one year, get 3 months extra but i couldn't justify it for my vita alone. That said, if i had my PS3 with me, i'd buy it in a heart beat, this month alone would pay for it for me, Spec Op front line, Infamous 2, Lord of the Ring, and Little Big planet 2 all games i've been curious about, but hven't actually picked up. So, if you have a PS3 and Vita its totally worth it, if you only have a PS3, still justifable, only a vita... not worth it unless you do what i did and make sure it has the game you want to play and make sure the cost is lower then the actual game price then it's worth it. but thats about it.

PSN+

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2011

Overall, PSN has a far way to go to catch up to the pay to play model in the software department. I love my PS3, 360, Wii and PC. I am indeed a collector and I can say that PSN+ is a "wait n see" model at the moment. I am not likely to keep paying into this without it being more customer/user end supportive from Sony. For one; communication features need a huge update before one should consider PSN+. Both Live and PSN have free ways to game, but Live is almost decade ahead in both subscribers and mostly software for their pay model. I'm happy to have tried this out early on and can say that its up to you if you should wait or game on, and pay Sony to speed it up. Lets hope PSN+ becomes more 'user-friendly'.

Either way you put this. Hacks or no hacks; remembering Sony's earlier fallibility back around march of this 2011. Regardless on any platform; at least the methods offered here allows you to use 'pay pal' or buy through 'Amazon' itself instantly with your card and save. 5/5 to Amazon! & 3/5 to PSN+ of current time.

A Few Tips

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2013

I won't preach the gospel of buying a PlayStation Plus code because you know that you need it. Every PlayStation owner should get plus for the sheer amount of free games and stuff. What I will say is this:

1. You cannot redeem this code over the new PSN webstore: I just tried this not even 1 minute ago and it didn't work. So these have to be redeemed either on the PS3 or MAYBE the Vita (will try that later).

2. You CAN use an Amazon gift card to buy this: I had a virtual gift card that I earned from doing daily searches with Bing. (FREE GIFT CARDS FTW!) So I added my gift card to my account, then I bought this for $5 off since I had a $5 gift card. It should show up in the check out screen AFTER you give them your card number.

I bought a card today because there are two games for free that I reaaaallllyyy wanted. I plan on buying a full year when my 3 months runs out.
