Also be aware there is also NZ's "Netflix tax" GST that kicks in on digital goods from  1 October too,

They hiked the prices in NZD's quite a bit last year already. This appears to be US only? I bailed last year when the tri-monthly price jumped from $24.99 to $32.95 (if I remember correctly...?). PS+ fees are now being put to better use on Steam.

PC gaming wins again :)

Buy your games and they continue to work for free, forever. Well, until the publisher shuts down the servers, but that's another issue.

Console's have been more expensive than mid-range PC gaming for a while. Games are more expensive AND you have to pay a subscription for multiplayer.

How well does Uncharted 4 run on your PC? ;)

Its a price rise. BAU Dont worry about it

This is only for America and Canada. Europe and Asia got the price rise last year.
