The holdout is eBay Powerseller Neogames via eBay Deals with a drop to $47.99. This discount may not match the kind of price breaks to $40 we grew accustomed to in early 2016, but it’s the best price online from a trusted seller with free shipping in the continental US and no sales tax. In fact, they’ve sold over tens of thousands of these PS Plus cards in the past handful of years.
Walmart: $49. 99 (Email delivery!) eBay Deals: $51. 99 (Price increase 9/22) GameStop: $49. 99
Update: eBay Deal’s price of $47.99 mentioned above for the PlayStation Plus has now been increased to $51.99. The great news is Walmart is still selling PlayStation Plus 1-year digital code for $49.99 versus the increase price of $59.99. Jump in before Walmart updates their price accordingly.
Other than the eBay offer, every other retailer is still $49.99 for the moment. Best Buy, GameStop, and the rest will turnover starting tomorrow. We do expect to see deals during the Holiday Season, but it’s likely the best offers we’ll come will simply be a temporary reduction in price from $60 down to $50 - which uh if you’re paying attention, is the price of the PlayStation Plus we’re seeing today.
How often do PlayStation Plus go on sale? From our observation in the past year, the 1-year membership usually gets a price cut in 2-3 month interval. The last time we saw a “real” significant discount was back in early August before the price hike announcement. And prior to this event, it was on sale around May 2016. So if you don’t pick up some spare subscription, we’re expecting the next round to show up during Black Friday or Cyber Monday later this year.
