Will the PS4 Still Get the Newest Games?

Will There be a Discount for PSN on Black Friday?

PSN is known for having good deals for Black Friday, notably their 25% off discount for annual PlayStation Plus membership. If you’re going to want to play games online, this is the deal for you. It’s also much more competitive than Microsoft’s Black Friday Xbox Live deal—£1 for 1 month of Live.

Is PSN Free?

There is a version of PSN that’s free, but the problem is that this won’t allow you to play online with friends. Just like for Xbox Live, you’ll need to buy an annual or monthly subscription to get the most out of your console.
