PS+ is due on the 15th.
Anybody and links to the best deal available out there?

This gets asked probably every 2 weeks or so. Unfortunately the usual places like Eneba, cdkeys and instantGaming have been out of stock for Ireland PSN credit and PS Plus for a long while now so you're going to be paying full price. Something definitely going on when all the key sites are not selling Irish Psn credit or subs.

I was wondering.
At Christmas it was there but left it.

Thanks.

Got an email in today from Sony with a PS Plus subscription receipt.

I'd auto renew off and I've not been charged so I think they're dealing with it a new way and the next prepaid plus year I'd got was applied as the year rolled over.

Mine is due for renewal in Next month went to renew yesterday and it says expires 2022 I don’t have auto renew on and wasn’t charged. Maybe I had bought two last year but I never usually do and don’t remember doing it.

I got the same email yesterday. I think it's because my previous sub was due to run out in March and I had renewed before last Christmas( while plus was on offer).

Thats probably the obvious answer I’ll check with my brother later he may have bought it while it was on offer at Xmas

EoinMcLovin · 18-03-2021 2:29pm

Offer At the moment until 23rd for non members.12 months for €59.99 plus get €15 free credit to account. Only via PSN store.

Why do they never do these offers for current members. My sub is up in a few weeks

companies generally don't reward customer loyalty it's all about new business and growth

Indeed, look up the "Lock-in cycle" to understand business strategies for getting customers, and keeping them. In this case, the "churn" is likely to be not an issue for Sony so they don't have to make offers to existing customers.

I was gonna say that, people with it already won't want to lose what they have so they will fork out regardless. Crap practice, but it obviously works.

Yeah that will be me in a few weeks when it's up. Now I just need 12 months PsPlus to become available on eneba or instant gaming. Something definitely going on with both sites being out of stock of Irish PSN credit for at least 2 months now

Potential-Monke · 19-03-2021 5:32am

Always happens me too, and even though I know I can stack them, I never buy the deal when it's available because it doesn't renew until May, and inevitably there's no deals to be found near that time. Every year, without fail, I do this. There could be a deal on the day I get paid, and I still don't do it. No idea why.

Any guesses or leaks on April's games?

Found this on Reddit, could be bull**** but will find out soon enough.

i work at marketing & pr of one of local PlayStation branch

i saw the listed games as they discussed us regarding upcoming materials to translate & promotion material for upcoming months

- April
* Oddworld Soulstorm (PS5 - PS4 is not applicable)
* Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions ( PS4 , PS5 backwards compatible)
* A Hat in Time ( PS4,PS5)

- June
* Grand Theft Auto Online (PS5 only , next gen upgrade available)
* Ratchet and Clank : Into the Nexus Remaster ( PS5 )
* Ratchet and Clank : Into the Nexus ( PS4 )

Ratchet and Clank : Into the Nexus?

Sounds very unlikely that they would remaster a PS3 title at the same time they have a new R&C game out.

Doodah7 · 30-03-2021 11:34am

The new Oddworld game is meant to be a freebie. The rest looks like a Wishlist to me!

CastorTroy · 30-03-2021 6:01pm

Even though I got it at Christmas and haven't tried it yet, giving Dreams away would be a good way to breathe new life into it.

Zero-Cool · 31-03-2021 8:26am

Captain Tsubasa is part of the Easter sale today, highly unlikely it will be announced as a psplus game for April which would render the whole list BS.

EoinMcLovin · 31-03-2021 9:20am

Just seen a "leak" that the other 2 games are Days Gone and Zombie Army 4. Only seen it on hotukdeals so I wouldn't call it 100% true, especially with Days gone on the instant collection on ps5

Plenty of people won't have the PS5 though so it's a handy one to give for current PS4 users.

Yeah, would be shyte if it was Days Gone as already on Plus collection like you said. Amazing for those who haven't played it yet on PS4 though.

The Raging Bile Duct · 31-03-2021 9:29am

It would be absolute scutter if they started giving away the games that are in the instant game collection on a monthly basis like that. Really can't see that happening.

Those of us on PS4 don't have that though, and that's the vast majority tbf

Good month only if you have PS4 , kind of meh if you have PS5. Hopefully this isn't the start of instant collection games showing up as regular ps Plus monthly games

Zombie month, sponsored by Sony....

Many may already own or played Days Gone, but it is the best game of all time so I've no issues them sharing this masterpiece round everyone.

The old oddworld games never quite clicked with me, but nice to have a new game as a 'freebie' to give a blast.

And Zombie Army looks a bit of craic at least for some mindless action. So not a bad month by any stretch

brianregan09 · 31-03-2021 4:50pm

Just finished Days Gone one of the best games i've played in ages
