Yesterday, at their Gamescom event Sony mentioned PlayStation Plus, and the numerous benefits it brings to forthcoming PS4 gamers. They also mentioned a few great deals for the here and now though – all of which may prove especially tantalizing for those not yet in Sony’s premium camp.
Firstly, between 21/8 (that’s today) and 20/9, anyone who purchases a one year PlayStation Plus subscription from the PSN storefront will receive an extra 30 90 days absolutely free of charge. And we all know what great value that is, don’t we?
Secondly, there was the introduction of monthly subscriptions, costing €6.99/£5.99, which will be “coming soon” – allowing gamers to dip in and out of Plus at a time,and price-point, that suits them.
But that’s not all; Sony have also revealed this September’s PlayStation Plus Game Of The Month, which is the none-too-shabby Assassin’s Creed 3.
As if you needed any more incentives to sign up, ready for the PS4’s November 29th launch.

Ooh, that’s pretty much the perfect game to be added. Only assassins creed game I’m yet to play through. I was going to buy it recently so that’s £20 saved.
Next month tomb raider please!

don’t get too excited, Ac3 is boring as hell. The first hour or two is ok, after that it’s mind numbing. (just my opinion mind you but i thought i’d chare it with you)

I agree with Mikey! Sorry to piss on the fire. But then again, if you’re expectations are low enough then you might just enjoy it. Just.

Sweet – haven’t got this yet, so another one to add to my “to play” list! It’s all very well giving all these free games, I just need more time to play them all!

Hm, “game of the month”? Isn’t it usually “games”?
tonycawley
Yes, there will be more than 1,but each month there is a game of the month, which was a major retail release, and some extra not so big games.
scavenga
Oh, right, thanks!
I think I’ve never thought of any of the ever generous assortment of free games as “not so big”.
Man, I love Plus! :D

I could have sworn they said an extra 90 days when you buy a 12 month plus sub?
Alex C
Yep. It’s 90.
Bilbo_bobbins
Yep I’ll be buying this before the deal ends, great value just before next gen too.
leeroye
Just checked and it is an extra 90 days.

This is perfect… My PS+ membership is due for renewal beginning of September :-)
Also, off topic, does nobody proof read on this site anymore? So many typos lately it makes the site seem amateur :-( “…all of which which may…” “…Won’t just be able in the standard black…”, and so on… :-(

Don’t forget that everyone here does it for free and off their own back. Also look at the sheer number of stories that went up last night. At times like this and E3 etc I think it’s only fair to cut a bit of slack. The whole team did an amazing job last night.

Yeah I know. It’s just a shame as the quality is normally high and it only takes a few mins to proof read… Just my OCD rather than a complaint lol
