Playstation plus - manual renewal

Hi

 

I'm a current subscriber to PS+.  My current deal isn't due to expire until July I think.  I don't like the idea of automatic renewal so I've turned that off.  However, I want to carry on my PS + experience and want to take advantage of promos (like the current 20% off a 1 year subscription until 25 January). 

 

Is it possible to purchase the promo now - so that it is queued and ready to go when my current subscription expires in July?  Or is it the case that if I buy it today, the second subscription starts from today?

 

If I do, will it cause any problems with any games I've already downloaded as part of PS+?  i.e. will the system treat it as two seperate subscriptions - rather than a straight forward renewal?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've tried searching this forum, the FAQS and google (!) for the answer without any joy.

I believe that if you purchased a new 1 year subscription today, it would start today, ending your current one.

No it wouldn't.

 

PS+ subscriptions stack so you can buy whenever an offer is available.

Hmm, that's news to me.

Are you talking from experience?

Ahh, well there you have it then, OP!

I stand corrected; said the man in the orthopedic shoes.

Sony are stabbing their loyal family customers in the back - We have 3 PS3s and 3 PSPs all on the same IP address and all registered with Sony. Why can't we use them at the same time anymore?
