It looks I went past the break even point after I got the platinum for Animal Well back in March. Thanks for PS Plus I have 20 new games added to my platinum/100% mosaic.

I still have 5 more months to go and I can work on bringing down the average rental price down.

I have saved so much from PS Plus.

There are certain months where the first Wednesday (when the new monthly games are live) falls at later date due to last date of previous month falling on Wednesday.

Coming January is one such instances where game would be live on 6th Jan - So if you subscribe on 5th January, you get Dec - Jan - Feb games

What this effectively means is that if you time your subscription right (when the 2nd month games are about to go live) you can get 3 months games - 3x3 = 9 games for price of single month subscription (as the 3rd month game would also fall under date range when it is about to get over)

Did the similar post few months back - https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayStationPlus/s/BujMoeTFmo

One clarification before someone starts pointing the obvious

Yes, this trick is only to claim games, you would still need active subscription to play it in future

So I'm going to get premium but idk which way i should pay it. Should I pay monthly (13.34 usd) or yearly (160 usd). I'm only planning to play 2 game (maybe 3) and I'm also not sure if it's worth paying 160 a year for two games

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share the results of a little experiment I ran over the past three months with PS Plus Extra. My original goal was simple: test the service before deciding whether to grab the annual plan during the upcoming November sale.

For context — I mostly buy my games digitally (around $500 spent since getting my PS5 last year). So I wanted to see if PS Plus Extra could complement my owned library rather than replace it.

Note: All the prices have been converted to USD as a standard conversion rate

My 3-Month Trial Results (July 27 – October 27, 2025)

• Total Cost: $23.81 (for the 3-month Extra plan)

• Games Played/Completed: Dozens, including Diablo IV, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Lies of P, Detroit: Become Human, and Unicorn Overlord

• Total Value of Games I Actually Played: $170.94

• Playtime: 224 hours total

That means for every $1 spent, I got 9.41 hours of entertainment.
If I compare that to going to the movies (roughly 0.84 hours per dollar), it’s not even close.

🎮 Value Comparison

So even if I only count what I actually played, that’s a 7.18× return on my money. If you include the entire available catalog, it’s over 14×.

Observations & Takeaways

• The library helped me try genres and franchises I might not have bought outright.

• Having access to so many great titles meant I could sample without “sunk cost” anxiety.

• It fits perfectly alongside my digital collection — I can still buy my must-haves, but use Extra as a discovery tool.

• Even paused games stay available, so I can jump back in anytime.

My Plan Going Forward

If the annual Extra plan drops to around $70–80 during the sale (which it usually does), I’ll almost certainly renew.
At my current pace, even if I only log 500 hours next year, that’s 8+ hours of entertainment per dollar spent — better than any other form of paid entertainment I use.

The yearly plan would cost about the same as 3–4 AAA games, but give me a rotating catalog, flexibility, and tons of variety.

Final Thoughts

After 3 months of tracking my usage and value, PS Plus Extra proved to be an excellent deal for my gaming habits.
It’s not just about saving money — it’s about freedom to explore, discover, and play more without the guilt of overspending.

So yeah, barring any major price hikes, I’ll be locking in the annual Extra plan during the November sale.
It’s simply the best entertainment value I’ve found on PlayStation so far.

i got a new ps5 today and i got this offer? would it be because its a new console or???
