The monthly Classic games/Premium only lineup needs to be more substantial than what we got this month to be worth it. The Extra tier is where most of the great offerings of this month come from. Hopefully premium will get more attention in the coming months.

PS+ extra is the sweet spot. It’s Gamepass lite currently but I hope they beef it up.

Premium is definitely for those that miss or never played the classics.

[dr.wolfstar]

It would be perfect if we could download ps3 games. At the moment for that reason it's a really frustrating service to look at Infamous and resistance but not be able to play them.

[Snorth]

The one thing I appreciate is the ability to buy classic games. I bought Toy Story 2, but this video has opened my eyes to a few more retro titles that might be up my alley.

Right now I don’t think premium is worth it, especially with the amount of classic games it got in July. That needs to drastically change for me to sub. Great video

[joshzumstien]

I think Extra is also good for people like me who want to try out more obscure, "hidden gem" games and indies without paying for them. For example, I'm currently loving Spirt of The North, a game I probably never would have tried if I didn't have PS Plus Extra.

I want to point out that PS3 streamed games are not available in many countries and we get Deluxe instead of Premium. While it is of course cheaper than Premium since we don't get a part of the retro catalog, I went with Extra since I already owned many of those games, such as Toy Story 2, God of War 3, and Gravity Rush remastered.

Extra was a no-brainer for me since there were games I wanted to try such as Returnal and Ghost of Tsushima. I'm happy with having my suscription for PS, Xbox, and NSO, and only buying the games I really want to have day one, or games that I end up loving after trying them in those services.

I hope we end up getting the PS Plus streamed games in more places, I didn't have a PS3 until recently and missed out on most games there, and both streaming with Game Pass Ultimate and Geforce Now work great for me.

I feel like Extra is where most people will sit. It’s essentially the equivalent to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, but since you technically can’t buy a yearly membership for Xbox GP Ultimate, you save $80 when compared to Extra.

That has got to be the smoothest most appropriate ad I've ever seen in a video. I applaud you sir

[lawrencetierney]

I recently subscribed too the premium service; for the cost of two brand new games you get access to well over 400 hundred games. I am still reserving my opinion until I have used the service for at least 6 months. You will need to upgrade your storage, it won't take long to fill the internal drive. I went with the Sabrent 4TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal Extreme Performance SSD + M.2 NVMe PS5 heatsink Combo.

judging by the thumbnail, i'd say your scared that physical media will go away, me too Jon, i don't want to even think of a world where physical media is gone, i still like buying music CD's, movie blu rays, TV show and anime Blu Rays there's just something nice about being able to hold a tangible copy of something in my hand so i feel like i really OWN it

[clarumin]

I feel like PS+ Extra is a pretty good value for people who have never owned a PlayStation 4/5 before and are just getting into this ecosystem. Which is basically the same argument I would make for Game Pass on Xbox. I have never owned an Xbox before, so a Series S with Game Pass would be the perfect way for me to instantly gain access to everything exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem, plus a bunch of good extras. Comparatively, PS+ Extra has more gaps, but I don't think those are an issue when there are still like 50+ amazing PS4 and PS5 games that might interest you that you can put hundreds of hours into.

At the same time, I am still very big on physical games, especially for big AAA games. Indie games like Undertale, Hollow Knight or Hades have small file sizes, so I don't mind not having a physical copy for my Switch, but Halo Infinite and God of War are massive games that take up tons of valuable storage space, so I way prefer getting physical copies for them. That is the main reason why I am still on the fence about PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass and why I'll likely never get either service, even though I recognise and respect the value.

[cediegepiga]

Im new to your video and i just wow at your voice 😮❤

[marvlouslie]

For someone (me) who just bought a PS5 and has virtually no library (yet), the Premium is a very good option. I've already got Game Pass Ultimate for my PC and Series X, and this will just compliment that, so I'm going to be grabbing a year of the Premium for this next week.

[AniMason-Animation]

Sooo close to that 100k subs goal. Im so happy to be here from the beginning <3

[martinde-serres]

While adding new games on Premium per month is nice, one HUGE feature they could include is the ability to download and play OUR personal library of PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and PSVita games we've built up since the beginning of PlayStation Network and PlayStation Store unto our PS4/PS5.
There were rumors about that feature circulating the web ever since the PS Plus revamp was announced, so hopefully this becomes legit in the coming months.

[InvaderIceStrike]

Thank you for mentioning Oddworld! It’s such a unique experience and I hope it’s reintroduction here will let more people experience it!

[ebispres.]

Streaming sucks because of input lag and they took off red dead the main reason why I got premium, there needs to be more downloads for the older games and keep the new games instead of rotating them every few months

[slothboo]

W for that lil Gravity Rush excitement + the ost in the bg

[ZappBranniglenn]

Jon you've said some brilliant things over the years. But you are the first I have ever heard to say Resident Evil Remake doesn't replace the original, and my soul thanks you for that.

[lewisgrant]

It’s been 4 months now. And for premium all they’ve given us is psp games and 1 or 2 ps1 games. So at the moment I’d say no it isn’t worth it
