Sony prohibits PlayStation Now membership stacking in order to protect its future Premium service

After Sony revealed its plan to restructure PlayStation Plus into a new three-tiered subscription to compete with Microsoft’s and Nintendo’s offerings, there was some confusion regarding how the transition to the new tiers would take place. Users began stacking prepaid subscriptions to PlayStation Now, Sony’s cloud streaming service available on consoles and PC, in the hopes that the $59.99-per-year service will be converted to the impending $119.99-per-year PlayStation Plus Premium. Sony was fast to discourage many people from taking advantage of the deal, but it couldn’t stop others from purchasing and redeeming the PS Now voucher cards for some form of service – and those surviving PS Now voucher cards will get you at least a partial PlayStation Plus Premium subscription.
