I was going to go essential or extra but the discount is so much better on the higher tier.
Will have to check what the benefits are over extra.

I've never had a higher tier than basic PS Essential - is there a way to take advantage of these deals and stack an extra year on top of what I already have ? ( think my sub runs out late January ). Looks like these BF deals only let you upgrade to a higher tier at a reduced rate, or offer a discount for new subscribers - which I'm not.

I was going to go for Extra but its only £8 more for Premium.
I was pondering it too but I've no interest in classic games nor streaming, so opted for Extra.

I sometimes like playing the games streamed on my lunchbreak at work. Works very well.
Guess I'm screwed for now, my Extra expires on the day the sale ends and I don't want to move up a tier because what I currently have has been barely worth it for quite a while and there'll be no way to downgrade in a year other than waiting till it runs out.
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, it let me buy a year of Extra at 25% off.

Aye. in exact same position this year but hopefully now I'll be in the BF sub window in perpetuity!

I forgot its best to get cheap gift cards elsewhere and then buy the sub, so will go for extra which will work out at around £65.

You've already nailed it. There's no deal here for people already subscribed or just want to stay on whichever current tier they are on. You'll have to wait until the few online stores that do offer PS subs at a reduced rate during this time of year (and also during Days of Play) and get it from there instead. I'm also only wanting to continue the base Essential tier so will wait.
Yup, did the same and topped up the wallet with cheap cards a while ago, worked out quite a bit cheaper.
EDIT: Oh, and the purchase has tipped my point balance over the amount required for wallet fund exchange so a pretty decent deal overall and I still have some funds left from the top-up anyways

Can't recall if it was last year or maybe the year before too but couple of weeks after BF there were better PS+ deals availablr, and I recall there being similar at Xmas time.
Have you guys tried to extend, though? It let me buy Extra for 25% off even though I'm still subscribed till 2.12 and I got the option to upgrade for 30% off but the discount was only for the remaining few days (LMAO).
Unless it's a bug of something, it should work the same for everyone.

Offers end 3rd December, maybe that's why?
Edit: mine runs out in March 25 and I don't get any discount to extend by one year.

Yep, I tried to extend and it didn't let me
Signed up for a month when I got my PS5 Pro hoping to extend it with a cheap yearly deal at Black Friday and Sony says no 
Didn't get the email offer other people got who had elapsed memberships got earlier this year either. So I've lost out twice.

My essentials expired on 19th Nov and I didn't let it auto renew
Just used the offer and a psn voucher £70 for £59.50
Gone for the extra subscription for the year cost me £64.49 rather than the £99.99
Amy recommendations for what games to try on extra ?

Apart from the obvious AAA games, a few smaller titles I can recommend are
Call of the Sea
Gris
Road 96
Dredge
Oh and Life is Strange True Colours.
