FIREPOWER 710 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Exactly what I expected. I’ll probably get PS+ Extra. PS+ Premium isn’t worth it for me since I still own all my old consoles and have no desire to play retro games on my PS5. I knew it wasn’t gonna be like GP and I knew Sony wouldn’t release date and date first party games on it so this reveal is exactly what I expected. Only thing that is a mild surprise is the inclusion of PSP games in the retro collection. Edit: 700+ games for $120 a year is pretty damn good value even if some will be streamed.

-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I will stick to my annual ps+ Black Friday deal. Some years, it’s just $29.99. I don’t need the extra bells and whistles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm gonna get PS Now and when "Spartacus" goes live it will automatically upgrade to Premium lol Sony is giving free upgrades to PS Premium from PS Now and PS Now only costs $60/yr right now. I'll probably stack them up before their new tier service goes live On a funny note, PS Plus will become the largest subscription service this summer once Sony combines it with PS Now lol. TLHBR, even in sub services MS is doomed to last place Edited March 29, 2022 by FIREPOWER 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sugarhigh 519 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Last I checked PS' streaming tech is a little too shitty to enjoy. It's a generation behind GeForce and Stadia. The middle tier for $100/yr could be good, but I want to see the whole list before I consider it. I don't see this revolutionizing PlayStation the way Gamepass has done to Xbox, but I honestly don't want it to. Sony goes big with first party, and I think MS is on its way to being the Netflix of games IN A BAD WAY. Netflix original content is so clearly produced by algorithm and MS is following in that. I don't want to see that happen to PlayStation. A clear leg up for MS is Gamepass is a pretty good service on PC. I don't see Sony playing there any time soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'd need to see the list of games, but the things is that if you'd maintained PS Plus this entire time....you probably already have ALOT of the games that they would offer on PS Extra and the PSP games from PS Premium PS Extra is almost like them offering you all of the previous PS+ monthly free games back catalogue all upfront, immediately, for new subscribers. The other noteworthy thing is they say "PS2 and PSP games are downloadable." So that means they now have a PS2 emulator running on PS5? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 There you go. They're not going to risk their high-value single-player AAA exclusives and turn them into sub-par experiences by throwing them into a rental service. Its good to see that Jim Ryan is clearly leveraging more of the PS1-PS4 back catalogue for this rental service, rather than the important projects that they are working on now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep I hope this does not change. Companies give away free games from a position of WEAKNESS. Sony started doing it when they were losing ground to the 360. Epic does it because they cannot compete with Steam. MS is betting the farm on it because they've lost every console generation they've been a part of. There's no reason for Sony to get baited into a loser's business model. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know, it might actually be pretty smart that Sony packs PS Extra with third-parties that are ALREADY putting their product on Xbox Game Pass. So, like Mortal Kombat 11. So, if Sony sees that Xbox brokered a deal with an indie developer to release their game on Day 1 for X amount of money, Sony can offer the same thing to the developer, and it shows up on PS Extra the same time it shows up on Xbox GamePass. If a new consumer is deciding whether they want to jump into PS5 or XsX, and sees that Sony is mostly offering alot of the same third-party games on PS Extra as Xbox GamePass, then once again their own AAA exclusives are going to be what sets them apart. Jim Ryan isn't trying to beat GamePass, or even match it, exactly. He's just trying to neutralize it just enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Don't care unless they greatly expand their selection of PS1 and PS2 titles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only advantage Extra seems to have over std Gamepass is Sony claims 400 games while Gamepass claims 100. Probably it will be most of the same 3rd party games.

I bet its the PS+ free games from the PS4 era.........that I ALREADY HAVE for having had an active PS+ membership since 2014, or 2012, I forget how long I've had it active. I already have like over 200 PS4 games and 50 PSP games, and over 100 PS3 games through that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,550 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Pretty much exactly what all the leaks suggested. It's fine, probably won't upgrade beyond my PS Plus but I'll wait to see the catalogue first. Seems a waste to have this and GP though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
