Here’s hoping they just grandfather our subscriptions over. I’m paid over a year in advance thanks to grabbing subs on sale. I anticipate the price will go up before too long into the next gen, so I figure it’s worth it to stockpile if it transfers over.

@Th3solution It should transfer over I mean, if you have Plus on PS4 you get it as well for the PS3 and Vita so I think it'll all be connected and if not... well that sucks.

PS Plus is one of Sony's best services?!

Are we paying for the same PS Plus service? The only service worse than PS Plus I can think of is the Nintendo one. Sony needs to step up its game when it comes to staying relevant on the Subscription Service side of things, paying more money for less on games and often their quality isn't an acceptable deal, far from their best service...

@RawnDawn @Th3solution PS3, PSP, Vita and PS4 all share the same network, so as long as they use the same PSN for PS5 I don't see why our PS Plus subscriptions would not carry over to PS5.
