Poll Do you pay full retail price for your gaming subscription service (33 votes)

Yes 18%
No 82%

I know there are code sites/work arounds for GamePass to get it at significantly cheaper rates than the advertised $15/month. I assume there are code sites for Playstation as well. So my question is to all you subscribers, do you pay the retail price, or find deals?

Nope, only thing I sub to occasionally is GP, usually get it during a promotion from buying new hardware or when they have a $1 promo going on.

Yep. Currently paying $200 CAD for Game Pass Ultimate, $70 CAD for PS+ Essential, and $25 CAD for Nintendo Switch Online. Those are all per year.

I voted no but on occasion, I would pay full price if I can't find any deals. I've subbed to Gamepass multiple times, for example, but I'd let it go past the promotion if there was anything worth playing.

Lol subscriptions, the only things worth spending money on is stuff I get to keep.

The best deal I could find for PS Plus for Black Friday was $45 directly through PlayStation. I could not find any deals on Xbox Live Games with Gold.

I am on a family plan with 7 other members for Nintendo Online Deluxe membership and currently pay $10/year.

once my deal ends, I might as well just buy a full year GP subscription at full price. No discounts, MS deserves the money.

Paying like $33/month to have both Game Pass Ultimate and PS Plus Premium. I don't mind. I used to be someone who averaged at least two new full priced games a month to just doing the subscription thing and picking up the occasional title that isn't on any service here and there. Sure, one can get it cheaper but I feel I've moved quite a bit it my savings trajectory.

I just pay the normal subscription price, I usually don't bother looking for promotions of anything.

Hell no.

I can get game pass repeatedly for 1 dollar. I haven't this month, cause I did last month and didn't use it at all.

I share a family plan for Switch online, which makes it like 10 bucks per year? Should cancel it, never use it.
