Sony: PlayStation Plus has Almost 21 Million Paid Subscribers

[Bob_McMillan]

I am unfortunately one of that number.

The only reason I have PS+ membership right now is because Sony took fucking 50 bucks out of my wallet to automatically renew my susbscription. A big reason why I am now on the road to getting a PC.

Because a sony rep mugged you while you were walking home from work right? I mean really, how is it sonys fault you weren't paying attention? Everyone knows you have the option to turn on or off the automatic renewal of ps+ on psn.

Well, sorry for thinking that the "do not automatically charge my credit card to renew subscriptions" box was different from "do not automatically use any funds in my wallet to renew subscriptions" one. Which are in two different sections of the PS Store by the way.

I... gotta agree with Lufia Erim with this one. It really falls on you to be careful with your credit card.

Yeah, psn store is a mess but that should have been one more reason to remove credit card information from it once you weren't going to be using it.

I didn't use my credit card (I don't even have one). They just used whatever was left in my PSN wallet.

That's rough man. I don't blame you for being upset.

I obviously don't know your whole story but I try to spend all the money at once once its in my PSN wallet. I also try to spend more than $5 (which is the minimum PSN charges) so I don't have any left overs.

You really can't be more careful when it comes to PSN and even Steam.

*Fondles goatie in contemplation while squinting eyes in suspicion*
Hmmm, I'm starting to get a little weirded out by the theme of these escapist articles. They hardly seem to be about actual games that aren't from very large, successful publishers or investor based gloating ceremonies, with the odd controversy bait thrown in for good measure. Is this another symptom of cash restriction? *Sighs*, I am a subscriber...Dark Souls has a lot of useful information behind that paywall. Oh and free games (well not precisely free, nor something you are allowed to keep), in the next few days will be Gat Out of Hell and something called Furi which looks kind of alright. Oh and some early demo beta of Paragon, yet another team based hero multiplayer thing. Looks like this year has found its' new military shooter/sandbox to milk into dispassion.
