For gamers eagerly anticipating the PS Plus Black Friday 2024 discount, the experience has been a mixed bag, with many feeling disappointed by the lack of availability. Recently, we’ve noticed that Sony has been leaning heavily into tailored offers that change from person to person, meaning that discounts appear to be somewhat random. Naturally, being left out of one of the year’s biggest sales events has not gone over well with everyone.
### PS Plus Black Friday 2024 Discount: Here’s the Lowdown
In a post on the PS Blog, Sony laid out the details: new users can snag a 30% discount on any 12-month PS Plus membership plan. For existing subscribers, there’s a catch—those moving up from Essential to Extra or Premium, or from Extra to Premium, can also benefit from discounts.
The situation gets murky for those who, like Premium members, have nowhere else to upgrade. They seem to be caught in some sort of lottery to receive discounts when renewing or extending their subscriptions.
Over on Reddit, the community is buzzing with different reports. Some subscribers are finding a range of discounts for renewals, while others, including myself, aren’t seeing any offers for discounts. As an Essential member, I see a 30% off deal if I upgrade to Premium and 25% if I choose Extra. But if I want to continue with my current plan, it’s full price all the way.
While it’s undoubtedly frustrating, random offers from Sony aren’t new. The shift towards personalized promotions has only made them more apparent, shining a spotlight on an issue that’s been simmering for some time now.
