Sony has took to the PlayStation Blog to ask PlayStation Plus subscribers which type of content they'd like to see on the service.
On the blog you'll find a poll and an example of the types of games you can vote for to see appear on the service. The games give are just examples, but will give Sony an idea of the type of content you want to see.
The poll will be up on the site until February 21 so make sure you vote before then as this is a great way to get your voice heard.
Mass Damage & Consumer Foundation in the Netherlands has filed a class action against Sony for inflating PlayStation Store prices.
My personal opinion:
Manufacturers and publishers have indeed inflated the industry.
From $700 million development costs for games like Call of Duty, to digital (store) prices for games and DLCs, online multiplayer fees on consoles (why can you play Helldivers 2 online for free on PC but not consoles?) or still preventing sell/lend digitally purchased games.
Sometime in the future, this bubble will collapse.
They should know better, but they just can't help themselves and suck even the last penny out of our wallets.
They should be suing the individual publishers increasing the prices to $80 instead of suing the store. There are plenty of publishers still selling game for like $50 with much success (like E33). But this proves that the publishers are the ones setting the prices.... so again nothing changes because they aren't even going after the main offender. How is suing Sony going to make Microsoft not charge $80 for the next COD? Sony being the number one store in the market doesn't mean that publisher have to charge us an arm and a leg. Again the industry is laughing at us because consumers never get real representation. Just these fake platitudes that are meaningless.
About time. There is zero fair reason why digitally distributed products that you cannot recoup any value when you want to dispose of them, should be priced higher than that of physical copies that entail all of the costs and the benefits of owning.
Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki and CFO Lin Tao talked about the state of the PlayStation business and the strategy and targets going forward, including how they're responding to the tariffs.
Sony announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2024, and things are certainly looking up, despite a decline in PS5 sales.
If their profits fall next quarter, we'll probably see more price hikes. I can't imagine having to pay £20 a month for PlayStation Plus.
Decline in hardware sales.
Behind on lifetime sales and decline in first party sales.
Third party content and PSN came through to save the day.
Things will improve starting with the next Ghost game.
Hopefully a steady flow of first party content by end of '25
i want ni no kuni on ps vita through ps plus.
Cool. i def would love some Batman games as i did not buy any of them and i wouldnt mind watch dogs to come to N.A.
PlayStation Plus is a nice service but I wish Sony would include more non-gaming options. How about a film or two each month? Or the ability to change our PSN ID?
Film options are also welcomed. Good thought Muchroomwig. Also i see they havent really been giving us themes and avatars anymore.
I want to troll video game websites with my ridiculous comments...oh wait
