PlayStation Plus fees increase in multiple regions
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).

I'm extremely disappointed that PS Plus is now required for online play. One huge benefit of Sony over MS was free online gaming. I feel like charging users to play online at all is pathetic.

Now they're getting greedy. PSN plus isnt even worth getting anyways which is why more than 70 percent of people dont have it, with them upping the price, more people wont get it.

Astronauts L this sucks for those regions. IMO online play should be free on both consoles.
Then a lot of even more little kids will flood the systems. PC Master Race.

no it shouldn't, the fees help pay for security and exclusive stuff.

DeluxeHazard Even though it doesn't affect North America, it still doesn't seem fair to raise the price in other nations.
I'm sure they have their reasons, but I agree, it is unfair.
