PlayStation Plus fees increase in multiple regions

4.5
PlayStation Plus subscription fees are on the rise in various regions, Sony confirmed. "We slightly increased prices for PlayStation Plus in South Africa, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and India regions due to various market conditions," a representative told Joystiq via email. "Currently, price adjustments are not being planned for PS Plus in the SCEA [North American] region."

The confirmation follows a report from iAfrica that stated subscription costs were due to rise within 24 hours of email notifications sent to PS Plus subscribers. The emails reportedly stated that "the price of a three month subscription will rise from R145 to R219" as of today ($12.88 and $19.46). The change represents a 51 percent increase in the three-month PS Plus prices. Additionally, a second email seemingly noted a change in the annual PS Plus costs in South Africa from R489 to R749 ($43.45 to $66.55, a 53 percent increase).

Tactical_Luck_Gaming Ha, Xbox live has cost the same since it was released...


Not really, back in 2010 the cost was $7.99 a month. Now its $9.99.

And really, I see these increases as necessary.


Who the hell buys it off the console? I get XBL for 2.50 a month off Amazon.


XBL for 2.50 a month off Amazon proof? I smell bs.


I have been a LIVE gold member for almost 10 years, I think I know the price I have paid, in which it has never gone up, I pay $60 for 12 months at a time, with a bonus month usually on the membership, so 13 months, for $60.


The price has increased. 3 months used to be $20, now $25. One year used to be $50, now $60.


$60 has been the price since I got my 360 on the first day over 8 years ago, so unless the price went up before that I don't know what you're talking about.


Yea it was just the one month and 3 month that went up


It's rather you can't remember, or you were ripped off.
