PlayStation’s “PS Plus Extra (upgrade)” and “Deluxe (advanced)” services in Hong Kong and Taiwan regions are Game Pass similar to Xbox, allowing users to subscribe to the relevant plan every month (yearly), and then they can play a variety of games. game, but the original PS Plus members found that when they upgraded the relevant plan, they actually needed to make up the discount of the annual fee and the upgrade fee. The incident caused many players to be dissatisfied, and they wrote to Sony to express their dissatisfaction.
The original annual fee for PS Plus (basic) was $308, but the official used to launch an average of 1 or 2 discounts per year, allowing users to purchase and extend membership at a 25% discount price of $231. Many players will take the opportunity to buy an extra 1 to 2 years membership, and even before the membership price increase in 2019, buy a few more years of membership. But I regretted it when I wanted to upgrade PS Plus Extra (upgrade) and Deluxe (advanced).
The existing original PS Plus basic membership ($308 annual fee) cannot choose to upgrade the Plus Extra (upgrade) or Deluxe (advanced) service for a specific time, that is, it cannot be upgraded monthly, quarterly or yearly, but can only upgrade the current one at a time. All upgrades to the PS Plus basic plan. If some players have purchased 2~3 years Plus, they will basically borrow, and the membership will go to 2025. In this way, the system will require you to upgrade the plan to 2025 in one go, and make up for the discounts and upgrade fees for several years at one time. To pay the membership fee of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, some players even need to make up the difference of more than $2xxx in one go because they have bought the basic membership for many years, and they can almost buy a digital version of the PS5 host. Players believe that it is understandable to make up the price difference for the upgrade service, but since the official offer discounted price to attract users to buy the PS Plus annual fee, it is very unreasonable to make up the discount now. Therefore, some people suggest that it is better to open a new PS Plus account to participate in the new service, and keep the old account until the membership expires.
