Increased by $10 in the US. Increased by $20 for Canada. That makes it $70. Considering the garbage free indie games they offer the PS4 every month, it's not really worth it.

Yeah the free games selection has really been poor lately... I went ahead and bought a 12 month card at the current price before it goes up.

I just renewed in June. Good for 10 months. I will only re up next year if they make the service worthwhile.

Yeah same here, to be honest I think they are going to lose a lot of Plus subscribers.

The only reason I kept Plus was the free games and online for Destiny, but the free games have sucked for the last 6 months or more, just crappy indy games.

Now that they made it more expensive while providing no improved value, I will probably just switch to playing online stuff on XB1 and not renew my Plus subscription.

2 weeks ago (the day the price increase was announced), I picked up a 12 month digital code from SaugaGamers for $37.89 using promo code SLICK, $43.99 is their usual price.

They got a bit swarmed due to the announcement so it took a couple of days for the code to arrive, but I've bought from them two years in a row now and no issues.

Yeah I think it goes in cycles and both sides like to make money.

For a while PS Plus gave some great free games while XBOX Live kept giving terrible ones... now the cycle has switched to XBOX Live giving the better free games, and now Sony decided to raise prices while not offering any additional value so they are piling on at a bad time.

I'd guess Microsoft is going to wait and see if Sony's move pays off and then follow suit.
