Reply to comment by bethmcseaver in Advice for this 55 yo woman who wants to upgrade my PlayStation. by bethmcseaver

Flat rate for access to the "classics catalogue" as well as the standard ps+ benefits. It's 120 a year, but a once per year payment for access to a huge library of games. I rationalize it as way less than I spend on Netflix annually for a more useful service.

That’s not a bad fee at all for access to a library of games. I can work that into my budget. Thanks very much for the info, want to be sure I make the right decision!

No problem! One last thing - while you can download the games for PS1, PS2, PS4, and PS5, the PS3 games on the service are streaming only (I... don't really know why), so if you're in a bad area or have a spotty internet provider, that can be a barrier for that specific generation with the package. Other than that, it is a great value. I use it to expose my 5 year old to the games I played as a kid (he's fond of ape escape).

That’s interesting with the PS3 games. I’m guessing that I will find plenty of other games to entertain myself either the library you’ve described. I so appreciate your help!
