PlayStation Plus: Premium Worth the Upgrade
Sony’s offering first-time subscribers up to 33% off yearly memberships, making this the perfect time to join.

The PS Plus Extra tier comes in at $101.24, but for just $6 more, Premium delivers significantly more content. New members should seriously consider Premium for maximum bang per buck.
Top PS Store Game Deals:
Beyond subscriptions, standout titles include Final Fantasy XVI ($24.99), The Last of Us Part 1 ($29.39), and budget-friendly picks like Mortal Kombat 11 ($4.99) and Need For Speed: Unbound ($6.99). Check the official PlayStation Store for the complete catalog.
Xbox Game Pass: Dollar Trial Extravaganza
Microsoft’s Black Friday strategy is simple but brilliant—$1 for your first month on both Game Pass tiers. This 90%+ discount lets you test the service’s massive library including day-one releases, EA Play titles, and cloud gaming for pocket change.
After the trial, Essential costs $9.99/month while Premium jumps to $14.99/month. If you’ve never tried Game Pass, there’s literally no better time than now.
