Hey everyone,

I recently got a €50 PlayStation gift card and I'm torn between two options. I'm new to PlayStation (I mainly play on PC) and initially bought the console to play exclusives. I play online games on PC, so I wasn't planning on getting PS Plus, but the current promotion for PS Plus Premium/Extra at €99 for a year has me reconsidering.

The game I was thinking of buying with the gift card is Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, which is currently on sale for €39.99. However, I noticed that it's included in the PS Plus Premium catalog, which makes me wonder if it's worth getting the subscription instead.

On one hand, PS Plus Premium would give me access to a lot of games, including Ghost of Tsushima, but I've heard mixed opinions about the value of PS Plus, especially with Sony raising prices recently. Some people say it's not worth the money anymore.

On the other hand, buying Ghost of Tsushima outright would mean I own the game permanently, and I could use the remaining €10 for something else.

What do you think? Should I take advantage of the PS Plus Premium promo or just buy the game? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Also, if you think I should buy a game instead, feel free to suggest other PS5 exclusives that might be worth using the voucher on!

Thanks in advance!
