Slamming your nuts in the door is also free I suppose.

I remember some games in fifties, but not lower

 

[R6Rider]

 

[RoadHazard]

Nah bro.

 

[DonJorginho]

Wow! Can really see the justification in the price increase Jimbo! Such amazing quality on show.

 

[Lokaum D+]

 

[GymWolf]

Did they let phil chose the games for this month?

Because if that doesn't make you throw your ps5 in the garbage, nothing can.

 

[Punished Miku]

I tried Generation Zero. Made it less than 10 minutes.

 

[engstra]

This has to be the worst month of PS+ ever right?

 

[xBlueStonex]

Terrible month of PS+, PS+ getting a price hike, Portal looking like hot trash, and Starfield releases tomorrow... rough time to be a PS fan.

 

[Nankatsu]

Saints Row and Generation Zero...don't tell me that was not on purporse, because it ain't true.

 

[Larivel]

That's a bad month(I think worst since ps5 came out), to also announce the price hike...

 

[NeoGiffer]

saints row alone justify the price increase

 

[MDSLKTR]

Jim's way of saying that you should be playing Starfield anyways.

 

[mrmustard]

Was hoping for Postal 4 just to troll the Saints Row triggered people even more.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I might give Saints Row a go to scratch that GTA itch.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Saints Row and a price increase for PS Plus...

 

[Blitzmangoman]

I might give Saints Row a go to scratch that GTA itch.

 

[bender]

 

[Mephisto40]

This is what I'm getting for my price hike?

Yeh, fuck off

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Appropriate. Saints Row is right up modern Sony's alley.

 

[F0rneus]

I mean for free, I guess I will finally play the new Saints Row. Anyone who loves SR3 and 4 like me that played it....is it at least decent? For free I mean.

 

[phaedrus]

Is this the lowest scored game on PSPlus lol ?

I remember some games in fifties, but not lower

 

[March Climber]

Saints Row is now worth a fair price. I'll try it out

 

[mitch1971]

After all these years how is it still people use the term 'free'. Even more so when there is a price increase on the same page.

 

[mckmas8808]

It's weird man. Even worse when video game media use the term "Free" when talking about Gamepass.

The review scores trying to match the games title.

 

[analog_future]

What an odd month for them to announce a massive price increase lol

 

[Windle Poons]

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

Nothing for me on essentials again, let's see how the extra and deluxe looks this month.

 

[Fabieter]

Well the price increase hurt but that they won't even go all out in the first month of the increase is sick.

 

[BouncyFrag]

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Thief1987]

Well the price increase hurt but that they won't even go all out in the first month of the increase is sick.

They just don't care. "Hey, we are increasing prices by 35%. Deal with it. Bye."

 

[Skifi28]

Increasing the price only to announce they're scraping the bottom of the barrel is quite the bold move.

 

[roosnam1980]

 

[Mr Hyde]

Saints Row?

 

[YCoCg]

Saints Row

 

[Fbh]

You'd think they'd pair the price increase announcement with a solid line up to showcase the "value" of the service.

Instead:

 

[diffusionx]

It's pretty hilarious that they paired the price increase with this lineup, shows what Sony thinks of their users these days.

They easily could have pulled out some 8/10 game or some new title to show that they are investing in this service, but no, here's Saints Poop 2022

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Yep, I will be downgrading back to regular and will only buy with discounted prices. I had intended to go back to regular but I bought a 1 year card and it simply extended my plus subscription 9 months....ugh.

 

[The_Observer]

Let's celebrate the price increase with this cutting edge industry leading woke masterpiece
