I can see raising the price of game pas.s but raising the price of the console after it's been out a while just seems strange.

I remember when consoles got cheaper after a few years and not more expensive.

PS5 did the same a while ago due to increased component costs.

A vero profitable move tho

Guess this makes the Gold conversion trick even better value.

I've done that 2 months ago, still got 34 months GPU left.

I guess that's $2 for Ultimate though. If you're paying for it, that's the tier to get.

Will my years of prepaid gamepass (converted gold) be affected?

[–] DeKo_xD@mastodon.social 1 points 1 year ago

@minishoemaze @JunkMuffler No, they won’t. You will keep what you already have.

I seriously doubt it

Lately I’ve felt that the higher tiers of PS+ have more value since I very rarely use Xbox game streaming, but a $2 raise isn’t bad considering how great the value has been for how many years

What I really want though is a family plan so I can split the cost of a subscription with friends and family (my Nintendo switch online plan has 8 people on it which made the expansion pass way more palatable since it’s only $10 per person per year)
