Sony knew why they removed the PlayStation Now subscription from the PlayStation Store for purchase, as it will later be converted into a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription converted. However, a glitch in the PlayStation Store now offers the chance to get it significantly cheaper, up to six times or six years in advance.

All that's needed is the PlayStation Webstore, where you simply need to be logged in. If you visit this then via a modified URLAlthough the product page is no longer available, the purchase assistant opens on the right-hand side, allowing you to still purchase a PlayStation Now annual subscription. You can repeat this process up to six times and only pay the usual €60, which is then converted in June into a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription, valued at €120.

Anyone considering upgrading directly to PlayStation Plus Premium should seize the opportunity now. The bug in the PlayStation Store should be fixed by Sony shortly. However, for those who have already purchased PlayStation Plus for several years in advance, this is less worthwhile, as they would have to pay the usual €120 regardless.

What does PlayStation Plus Premium offer?

PlayStation Plus Premium is the highest tier in the new subscription model, which includes not only the existing PlayStation Plus, but also up to 340 additional games, including:

  • PS3 games available via cloud streaming

Additionally, cloud streaming access is available for original PlayStation, PS2, PSP, and PS4 games, offered in the Extra and Premium plans in markets where PlayStation Now is currently available, including PC streaming. Time-limited trial versions of games are also offered, allowing customers to try selected games before purchasing.

They can fix as much as they want, I extended my PS Now subscription until 2031 and, thanks to credit from key resellers, even saved more than the original 50% on PS Premium.

Hey, here's a summary again, as of now:

Credit card payment is not working! The circle just keeps spinning after you click on "Pay".

-However PayPal works! So, add your PayPal account as a payment method and pay that way.

-I can't say whether payment with credit still works, as I haven't tried it.

It worked with PayPal now. I've done it for two years.

Although the €60 for PSNow is displayed for me, as soon as I click on order it doesn't proceed and just spins in a circle.

I'm already logged in. Has it worked for anyone else in the last few minutes?

Strange, I'm logged in, my credit card is saved and selected, but it doesn't finish loading in either Chrome or Edge after I click on pay.
