Players are not able to make any Black Friday savings by extending their membership – which has tripped up a number of keen customers.

With Sony’s recently launched streaming app, PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe members also gain access to the Sony Pictures Catalogue.
The platform hosts more than 100 movies to stream on demand, including the latest Spider-Man film and the Uncharted film, based on the PlayStation game series of the same name.
While many are disappointed to be missing out of the Black Friday deal, money-savvy players have noted that there is likely to be a similar sale to follow.
“There’ll be another sale in December, just catch that one but do it early as poss so that you don’t get hit by the same thing next year,” one player wrote.
Another added that the December/January sale has actually been “cheaper than Black Friday for the last two years”.
In any case, most folks are just happy to avoid the recent price hikes.
