The $40 PlayStation Plus 1-Year Subscription Deal Is Back

The PlayStation Plus deal you've been waiting all year for is finally here! Starting today, you can get a PlayStation Plus 12-month subscription for $40 (a discount of $20) on Amazon. It's is the ultimate no-brainer purchase for any PlayStation fan. This deal is as good as it gets, and it only comes around Black Friday, so jump it while you can. You might also consider picking up a 12-month PlayStation Now deal that drops the price to $79.99 (also a discount of $20).

Once the PlayStation Plus membership is purchased, Amazon will send you a code, so there's no physical card to deal with. All you need to do is pass the code on to the recipient and they can redeem it to extend their membership for an additional year on top of any time that is remaining on their current subscription. For the uninitiated, here are some of the benefits of a PlayStation Plus subscription:

On a relate note, the Black Friday $200 Spider-Man PS4 Slim bundle is expected to be widely available, but if you don't want to take chances, your first opportunity to grab one will be right here at Walmart (online only) at 12am EST November 18th (they even have a countdown clock). It is also expected to arrive at GameStop and at Best Buy on the same date - most likely at midnight EST. You should also keep tabs on Amazon to see if they pull the trigger on the deal early.
