Playstation plus

edited September 2015 in General Chat

So some of you guys know i am planning on buying a PS4, but then i heard from a friend you need to pay $50 for playstation plus which lasts a year. This kind of concerns me. I mean pay $400 dollers for PS4 and then pay $50 for a year access to internet? Your joking right?! I already know you need PS Plus to play online with friends. But what will i be able to download games/apps (like netflix) without PS plus?!

  • You can download apps, and games without PS.Plus.

  • there is an update that is coming out that removes the need for ps plus as to when that update comes out I don't know I only have ps3 right now my friend told me about it

  • PS Plus is required to play games online, not to download/ or to play games single player. Think of it as Xbox live for PS.

  • So PS Plus will be removed?

    The need for PS+ is strictly for multiplayer. You can access apps like Netflix, the store and Party Chat for free.

    I very very rarely play games online, but I've been a PS+ member for two years now just for the perks. You get a bunch of free games each month and some pretty great discounts on the store as well. I'm not a fan of them putting multiplayer behind a pay wall, but you get your money's worth out of it very quickly, so it's really not that bad.

  • Free games huh? not bad.

    TL:DR Yes it costs 50 $ a year. And yes that is annoying, but you get a lot of perks that make up for it.

  • Yup! Typically it's 2 PS4 games, 2 PS3 games and 2 Vita games per month. Some of my all-time favorite games are ones that I originally got through Plus, like Borderlands 2, Bioshock Infinite and Transistor.
