I heard PC and Playstation 2 subscribers have the option to choose subscription types, what's up with that?(2-16)
You heard right, PC and PlayStation 2 users have the option of choosing between two different subscription types when purchasing a Guardians License. Be sure to pick the option that is right for you!
$9.99 per month recurring option, your account will be charged every 30 days. First time subscribers will be gifted with an additional 2 weeks free - that's 45 more days until you are billed again!
A one time charge of $49.99 for 180 days. At the end of the 180 day period, you'll need to head back and purchase another subscription. First time subscribers will be gifted 30 days up front - that's 210 days of Phantasy Star Universe!
Now... 9.99 divided by 30 days.. that's 33 cents a day. If you include the 15 days free, its 9.99 divided by 45... that's 22 cents per day.
However look at this way... 49.99 divided by 180 days equals 28 cents! You save 5 cents a day. But with the 30 day bonus, you only pay 24 cents. You save 4 cents a day and 9 cents in the long run. To compare to the 9.99 package... 49.99 divided by (210 divided by 30) equals 7.14 per month. You save about 3 bucks a month over a period of 7 months. Even then, 49.99 divided by (180 divided by 30) equals 8.33 per month, you still save money.
Now my curiousity... those people are still playing... but yet paying the more expensive option... why? =/ Its been about 4 months+ already and 9.99 times 4 equals 39.96... for 10 bucks more... you would've saved money >_>
