A little error in the video. Back in the day, Xbox Live was paid. But, back then Playstation Network (PSN), which was Sony’s equivalent to Xbox Live was TOTALLY FREE, until they launched PS Plus with the PS4.
Well PS Plus existed with PS3. And it existed for the sole purpose of giving games on a subscription service, which XB later copied with "Games with Gold", because before PS Plus XBLG was just an online paywall.
Why should we have to pay to play trials and demos? Back in the day, before the "influencer" movement, we would have demo discs etc. Demo's got us to where we were a few years ago, and this pay wall has stopped that and is holding gaming back.
Except now a days even a small demo would have to come on a flash drive Edit: and considering the budget to games now vs then, the pay wall is worth it. Aka Crash Bandicoot VS GTA V
For me, the fact that Stray was a day 1 release and was £30 meant I could save money by just upgrading to premium between now and January for £22 so I got all the other games included too, included about 10 new games I still hasn't played yet so I've saved £100s
Now if only they did that on their first-party games and not third-party indie games... by the time PS puts one of their first-party titles on the service I would have already bought it at a step discount.
@@Spartan_83 not only will first-party games not hit the service till years later when no one is really playing it anymore, they put all the PS3 games on the ultimate tier only which has a lot of titles I actually want to play but I'm not paying that much.
Am I the only one who's more excited about the classics catalog than the game catalog? Yeah, sure I can play them on those original systems, but there are tons that I either never got a chance to play or I no longer have a working copy of those games. This is absolutely a huge selling point for me to get the premium package. But, maybe I'm just the odd one out. Lol
I have a PS4 Slim and I just subbed to PS Plus Extra at the end of last month and for me I think it's worth it because I'm still kind of new to PlayStation, cause the last PS console I had was the first one and I've mainly been Xbox since the OG Xbox. But I have a XSX and a PS4 Slim and I don't know when I will upgrade to a PS5 (I don't even know if I will get one anytime soon) cause I've still been enjoying the combination of Xbox game pass ultimate and PS Plus Extra on my two systems. I'm glad Sony made this game pass like service because it has been awesome for me to be able to have both subscription services.

This was really helpful as I’m trying to figure out what to get for my kiddo as I am use to having the 2 subscriptions. I was all about watching this video as the guy in the video was an adult vs some kid telling me what to get.
Im pretty content with the essential version but im wondering if yall who have extra think its worth paying the extra for it?? Can you actually download the games or you stream them? And if u can download them do u keep them even if the game gets removed from the catalog?
I had Extra but recently changed to essential. I don’t think the games coming to the cataloge are worth it, I didn’t play that many games from it. All I want is to be able to play online.
So you used to be able to go in just about any local store, including gamestop and purchase a monthly card for ps+, so now it's all digital and you "have" to purchase with a cc separately?
im confused, i have a question; before the whole new ps plus came, and you had ps plus before that, you got the old ps plus monthly games. if i choose essential, would that mean i can still play it? or would i have to go extra? because i wanna get arkham knight as i already got it from ps plus but it says the title “EXTRA” on it so im just really confused
Same.. Guys I have a question when I subscribe to ps plus extra then get the game for free but what happens when my subscription is finished then I subscribe to ps plus essential because it’s cheaper So can I play stray with ps plus essential or it needs to be ps plus extra??? Pls reply
@@The-FlashYT1 Any game that you get through ESSENTIAL, you can still play those games if you upgrade to extra/premium HOWEVER If you get a game that is exclusive to PS Extra/Premium members, and you eventually downgrade to PS Essential, you will not be able to play any games that came with PS Extra/premium
If I pay for a digital download of a game on PS5 and subscribe to their premuim plus plan and decide ro cancel it will any games I've purchased digitally disappear or not enable me to play them online?
Plus premium isn’t worth it it’s streaming PS3 games and playing trials that’s it you don’t get quests like ultimate game pass gives no EA access it’s better you subscribe to plus extra
There is really no difference from extra or premium everything you want is on extra the premium is so you can stream the PS3 PS1 games that’s it has no first party games not worth upgrading to
That wasn't what happened... Xbox had been charging for their Live online service while Playstation did not, and then Playstation saw the revenue they were missing out on and finally made their online service a paid service also.... Some basic research would have prevented that mistake.... Credibility lost. Yap tap tap. Blah blah blah. Video made. Post it. Who cares whether it's based in fact

Microsoft and Sony have these game subscriptions for targeted audiences to have the casual gamer and people that don't buy games or alot of games on a regular basis. Not as much for hardcore gamers at least. Not to say hardcore gamers couldn't enjoy those subscriptions. But they won't be worth as much to them that already played those games or don't want to go back to them for nostalgia
What's up peeps my advice is to all of you that have PlayStation 5 or Playstation 4 consoles if you guys have any advice for me right now because I'm just like right now I see the PlayStation Plus what I'm trying to say is to upgrade I get the PlayStation Plus premium but the cost is $10.19 95 or $15.28 for 12 months but cost is 119.99 there you go please give me like I said give me an advice so do I get that because it's saying the next charge it's going to charge me $119:99 every 12 months If I do get the 119.99 whats let's say $15.28 a month for 12 months so it's going to be like $15.28 every month or do they take it out automatically 119:99 dollars a month please let me know ASAP
I'm confused I wanna play wild arms 1...the game has the +Premium mark on it. But I also have a choice to add to cart for 9.99 €... If I buy it , could i play the game without the premium subscription?
I prefer to buy games in the disk edition and not from the PlayStation store. Same with my payments, only with cash and not with the credit cards or debit cards.
I don't own any PS console but I love how you broke everything down. I hope Nintendo keeps improving their Online services to compete with PS and Xbox. Thank you!
Well it's extra for me, thanks for video they make it confusing on purpose. I've seen people say it should have been called Silver, Gold and platinum tiers and i 100% agree!
I'm on PS5 and I'm definitely upgrading to extra in December when my essential runs out. I'm always buying the essential anyway so that little extra cost seems very much worth it. I have bought my yearly subscription during the Black Friday for years now though so I really hope that Extra gets a good Black Friday discount as well.
I have been wondering this do u claim the games that are on the extra catalog? Or do they dissappear from your library after a while. And if u claim said games like essential does then do they dissappear after u go back to essential from extra?
@@saadhq3356 Extra basically the Netflix of games so any game can be removed from the catalogue at any time. You don't claim anything and if your subscription runs out you won't have access to any of those games until you re-sub.

Cloud saves are free on Xbox
All i want to understand is that do i get the PS PLUS "EXTRA" games if i had PS PLUS "PREMIUM"
do you have to pay the 79.99 upfront for the essential?
Cant believe you have to pay the full premium price just so you can play classic ps1 games and demos…
Ps3 has Classic Ps1 Games on the Psn Store
Thank you for clean explanation of it.
Well explained mate, thanks 👍
Bro is that a street fighter arcade behind you I want one so bad !
Do you get the game catalogue games for completely free or do you only get a discount?
Worth highliting that the games that you get in Essential tier are different from the ones you get in Extra

For nothing lol
Maybe to protect themselves from revenue losses. Still a SCAM i’d get the basic package.

Which membership I can find GOD OF WAR REMASTERED ?
So there is no cloud gaming for ps4 with the extra ps plus?
Really should only be two tiers, too confusing
So it is basically:
PlayStation+
PlayStation++
PlayStation+++

thank you man❤
Extra is very tempting
Thank you
If i buy the premium can i get the games from essential amd extra?
