Best answer: PlayStation Plus is Sony's subscription service for all things PlayStation, and it's available to purchase on a month-by-month basis or for an entire year. With it you get access to online multiplayer, cloud storage, exclusive deals, and much more.

Cloud game saving


One of the handy little perks of a PlayStation Plus subscription is the

. One way this can be of benefit is to save you some previous hard drive space. If you find storage to be limited on your system then the ability to move some of your saves to the cloud can free up some space for other things. In addition, you can also access your saves from anywhere. That way if you're going to be playing on a different console your precious saved games are always ready for you without the need to carry around a USB drive.

What's even better is that what was once a measly 1GB of cloud storage—and then 10GB of cloud storage—is being

Share play is a generous offering from Sony. It is essentially the modern day digital equivalent of having a friend come over and sit on your couch to play a game with you.

In addition to all other benefits mentioned thus far, with a PlayStation Plus subscription you will have exclusive access to some pretty deep discounts on PlayStation titles. I have seen some top games on sale for sometimes as much 80% off. Plus members usually have the added benefit of receiving an extra 10% or so off of a games already discounted price. Those kind of savings have the potential to offset the cost of a PS Plus subscription in pretty short order.

The cost of a PlayStation Plus subscription can vary based on the method by which you buy it. For the most part, the best deal is to buy it a year at a time. At the time of this writing, a year of PS Plus is going to

For online gamers and everyone inbetween.
