TL;DR: As of May 19, you can get a year of PlayStation Plus for almost half-off the usual price on eBay, just $35.99.


Sometimes playing video games by yourself just doesn’t quite cut it — bringing some of your buddies into the mix can do wonders for your boredom. Unfortunately, it isn’t free to do that. We know, it’s a bummer, but that doesn’t mean you have to pay full price. 

Right now you can get a one-year subscription to PlayStation Plus for just $35.99 (it usually costs $59.99) on eBay. There’s a limited quantity available, so be quick if you want one. 

PlayStation does allow you to play the likes of Call of Duty, Rocket League, and more online with friends, but that’s just the start of it. When you’re a PlayStation Plus member, you get two other great parks as a part of the service. One of them is exclusive discounts and sales in the PS Store, which happen pretty regularly and can get you some pretty sweet savings. But maybe the coolest bonus is that PS Plus members get an offering of free games every month (it’s usually only two, but sometimes that changes). They’re chosen randomly, but sometimes you can get a really great title free of charge.

So get your code and hop online asap — grab a PlayStation Plus 1-year membership on eBay for just $35.99 (usually $59.99).
