Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%
pushsquare.com
Tier Original Pricing. New Pricing
PS Plus Essential £49.99 / $59.99 £59.99 / $79.99
PS Plus Extra £83.99 / $99.99 £99.99 / $134.99
PS Plus Premium £99.99 / $119.99 £119.99 / $159.99
33+% is quite a hike, considering that Sony doesn't offer PS+ Day 1 Launches, unlike Xbox. I hope they start offering their games day one, else people will start to unsubscribe.
It's a bummer, since I like PS+ Extra a lot (don't get PS+ Premium, it's not worth it)
Also very scummy of them to hide their pricing update behind the Sept PS+ monthly games blogpost

Save your money, buy a Steam Deck or a desktop PC, play games online with the internet service that you already pay a shit ton of money for, and don't look back. It's really stupid that we allowed game consoles to charge us to play online.
Steam deck is a great way to get into PC gaming if you don't have a lot of money or a PC. It can run a lot of games. Enough that you won't get bored any time soon.
I would say a pc would be cheaper if ur on a budget as u can easily get a bunch of used hardware and rig it together till you can afford something better for an upgrade
Eh maybe if you're hands on and want to take the time to find the deals on the parts. You could just dock a steam deck and plug in a key board mouse and monitor.
Agreed. I built up a nice console PC using a used HP Pavilion Gaming PC.
Threw in a 50$ 32gb ram kit and a 60$ 2tb SSD.
Total cost <450$ and it's a bit faster than a Steam Deck.
I wouldn't call this beginner friendly compared to a deck, but the potential cost savings are real.
Yeah, if you can, get a PC, they might cost more initially but they pay for themselves in the long run. No reason to own a console.
I bet Steam machines would do better if they were released now.
