Sony has announced via the PlayStation Blog that the price for PlayStation Plus in North America will be seeing a bit of a bump.

The price changes are as follows:

• Twelve Month Subscription – Currently $49.99USD -> $59.99USD  /  Currently $49.99CAD -> $69.99CAD
• Three Month Subscription – Currently $17.99USD -> $24.99USD  /  Currently $17.99CAD -> $29.99CAD
• One Month Subscription – Currently $9.99USD -> $9.99USD  /  Currently $9.99CAD -> $11.99CAD

The price change will take effect on September 22nd, so now is a good time to grab that $50 one year subscription before it jumps up.

In the post, which was added as an update to older article for this month’s free PS+ games, Sony says this in regards to the price change:
