A survey has hinted at some future additions that could come to the service.

- Discounts on PS hardware and accessories, (controllers, and headsets)
- Monthly PS+ contests with prizes
- PS+ knowledgebase (Forum for PS+ members)
- Discounts on Sony products (TV's, cameras, smartphones)
- Discounts on lifestyle products (newspapersubscriptions, movietickets, fast food, travel fare.
- PS+ gaming tournaments with prizes.
- Free movies every month.
- Discounts on popular streamingservices (Netflix, HBO Nordic, Spotify)

Anybody interested in any of those?

I'd prefer an option of no content plus for say 20 quid

Shame there's no mention of PS Now. A few hours free a month would be a good perk for the service.

Sounds good. I'll take all that stuff as long as it doesn't push the price up. (But an increase in quality of games and their network wouldn't go amiss either)

Or how about any game that's available in PS Now, if it's in your digital library, you can play it without a separate PS Now sub?

Yep that would be good.

TBH anything game related would be good, after all Playstations slogan is "For the Players" and yet hardly any of those are for the players, just a bunch of random extras to try and show value in PS+ without actually adding anything people people want.

It's been 6 months now since my PS+ subscription expired. For some reason, I've still been able to play all this time without a subscription & out of all the games that have been given away on PS4 since, only The Walking Dead season 2 would've been one that I'd have downloaded.

So, since it's cost me nothing to play online and one game which has been in the PSN sale for under £10, the subscription wouldn't have been value for money for me.

(I ended up getting a free trial code emailed to me from Sony for a couple days PS+ so I downloaded TWD with that) )

Sarcasm, or really?

I tried for 5 mins then gave up thinking what a pile of crock.

It's like supermarkets with their loyalty cards... Most people would be happy with lower prices instead of gimmicky offers. I think what they have on offer there is pathetic to be honest.

My sub runs out next week and I am not going to renew. The only online game that is of interest at the moment is the division and I'll play that on xbox.
The monthly games haven't been doing it for me for a while. If a good month comes along I am sure I will jump back on.

You could just set up a Canadian PSN account and get Plus for 25 quid. Would still work on your main account. Not that I would dream of doing such a thing

Meh, not really interested in multi-player games. I play games to get away from people.
Quality solo gaming is definitely a niche market nowadays, so many of the Plus games are MP with crappy SP tacked on, if at all.
Looks awfully similar to Galak-Z too.

My subscription comes to a end on the 12th this month. I'm going to leave it until the end of April to resub, methinks before I come back.

I suppose we're more likely to notice the stuff we really don't like.

In the last few months we've had Magicka 2, Gauntlet, Hardware Rivals, Helldivers and Broforce.
All of which are crap when played SP.

I think Sony are keen on encouraging online play and community gaming.

Well Sony do charge $50/€50/£40 for people to play online so it makes sense that would try to encourage devs to implement that side of things.

The added bonus is if, like me, you enjoy playing online with your mates everyone's got the same games.
