    Same for me , runs out in Dec. I usually re-up for the discount. Bit annoying you can't. Will check on the actual console later.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,037 ✭✭✭Jacovs


    I have a 30% off offer to upgrade my remaining 47 days of Essential to Premium. But idk if I stack essential for another year @ 20% discount if the 30% upgrade offer to premium will still be there. Not that im thinking of upgrading, just for you to consider.

    On the other hand, idk if i upgrade to premium first for 30% off if there will then be a subsequent offer to stack also afterwards.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,915 ✭✭✭lertsnim


    Might go for Premium this time. There's not that much difference in the sale price for 12 months between that and Extra.

    I'm currently on an extra subscription with an expiry date of 19/12/24 and auto renew turned off. The only deal I can see on app and PS5 is to upgrade remaining days to premium. Is anyone aware of any clever workarounds to get a discount, or will I be stuck paying full whack? Ideally I'd like to upgrade to premium for a year



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,656 ✭✭✭bennyx_o


    I'm on Extra too and have €94.49 to buy again. I very rarely use the PS5 these days so unsure about resubbing since they make stacking near impossible these days

    Okay so I'm on Essential and got 20% off to renew. Did that and now I'm getting 25% off upgrading to Extra and 30% off Premium. Both prices are for 395 days, which is 1 year plus the extra time to my new expiry date of December 22th 2025.

    So €57.59 for 1 year of essential and then €43.92/€60.73 for 395 days to upgrade to Extra/Premium.

    Upgrading to Premium to take full advantage of my new fibre connection.

    Hope this helps.

    Not getting the 20% off Essential stack. Offers to upgrade remaining days only. Feckers.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭Mobius2021


    It may be due to the fact that I cancelled the auto renewal about a week ago that I got the Essential offer. Was due to expire on December 22nd.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 621 ✭✭✭bkrangle


    I cancelled my auto renew about a week ago and have an expiry date of Dec 18th. No good offers for me, must be account specific.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,301 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    I didn't get an offer but maybe it's because i had previously bought 3 months to coincide with this sale, expires tonight. So at the moment, i can upgrade for 1 day for 60 cents or wait for tonight and choose any of them for a year at discount, i believe anyway.

    And my psplus is expired, here are the offers. Make sure you buy asap so it expires this time next year and you get a discount again. Black Friday sale can be a few weeks earlier as well so hope it expires in time for sale next year.

    I let my sub expire a couple of months ago and whilst I was gearing up for renewing now, the offerings have been so poor over the last year on Essential that I'm thinking of leaving it.

    Barely play multiplayer too.

    Similar for me, cancelled Extra a few days ago and due to run out Dec 5th. But it looks like I can't upgrade to Premium yearly, only monthly? Presumably I'll have to wait until the current sub expires and then I could sub yearly but any discount will be gone by then. Lol at the 39c discount offer… f'off Sony.

    I got mine last night for €57.59, renews in March 2026. It is offering me premium for €71-ish until then



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 23,298 ✭✭✭✭beertons


    I must have clicked purchase too soon, I was only offered Essential @72 euros.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 621 ✭✭✭bkrangle


    I had a similar "offer" to upgrade to premium for the 20ish days left on my subscription. Some people online seemed to.unlock an offer for an additional year by doing this, I gave it a go but can only see full price yearly subscriptions now.

    Same, my essentials sub is due to end on 19th Dec, I paid €2 to upgrade to Extra but no discount to renew after that. Looking for the full price €125.99



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭lee_baby_simms


    Interesting. I took the 30% off deal the other day and just now I got an offer to stack it for another year. Which I took.

    Am I the only one who gets this offer? This isn't even discounted, my subscription doesn't run out until halfway through next year.

    Got my essential sub with 20% off last night. Have a feeling I could miss the boat next year when it comes to getting the Black Friday sub. Tbh, this could be the last year I get the sub.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    I'd say you'll be fine. The sales tend to run into the first couple of days of December.

    Outside of some whopper games being announced today for December, I'm leaving mine expired. I just don't play many of the monthly games and I don't really play online. Might get a month at some point if I pick up COD (as I usually have my fill within a month).

    Today we're happy to share the first reveal of a trio of PlayStation classic titles joining PlayStation Plus Premium's lineup in December, all of which help celebrate PlayStation's 30th​ anniversary. Starting December 10, members will be able to complete the PS2 Sly trilogy with the release of Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves and also enjoy Naughty Dog's PS2 adventure Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. We'll have more news on the full PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Premium lineups, later.

    It takes two is a great addition, one of the best games I played over the last few years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭lee_baby_simms




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,371 ✭✭✭jj880


    It is and if possible play it with your kid. A great couch co-op game. We enjoyed it start to finish.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 224 ✭✭Repo101


    Didn't get any discounted offer originally. Sub expired last night, logged back in today and got the 30% off offer.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 6,340 Mod ✭✭✭✭PerrinV2


    Apologises if this has been asked/answered already but can can you stack the essential plan or does your plan have to be expired first?



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 6,936 Mod ✭✭✭✭Irish Aris


    I think you can, albeit at the full price - Sony rarely offers discounts at active memberships.

    2025 gigs: Selofan, Alison Moyet, Wardruna, Gavin Friday, Orla Gartland, The Courettes, Nine Inch Nails, Rhiannon Giddens, New Purple Celebration, Nova Twins

    Similar to my kids. I forgot to 'cancel' so it tried to auto-renew for a few days using an old card and I checked yesterday what I was offered on renewal and it was full price, while in there I cancelled it manually.

    Today I got the subscription ended email so went in and checked and the offer was then there. Oddly though they were still able to use and download Playstation Plus yesterday, a couple of days after getting the email to say the membership has expired.
