Sony's Days of Play sale begins today, which means deals like year-long memberships to PlayStation Plus for $39.99 and the PlayStation 4 Pro for $349.99 are now live. For those who are new PlayStation gamers and those who've never tried PlayStation Plus before, you're in for a treat. Having a PlayStation Plus membership is nearly as essential for PS4 owners as having a controller, and with today's sale, you'll be saving $20 off the yearly cost and snagging it for just $3.33 monthly at Amazon. That's in line with the best discounts we see on the service during big shopping sales like Black Friday.

Along with extra discounts on PlayStation Store purchases, members also score free game downloads every month that you get to keep for as long as you're subscribed. However, the best part about having a membership is that it unlocks online multiplayer access on tons of PlayStation games, some of which you can't even play without being a member.

After grabbing your PlayStation Plus membership, be sure to look over the full Days of Play sale which offers discounts like DualShock 4 Controllers for $40, games like The Last of Us Remastered for $10, and this sweet limited edition Days of Play PlayStation 4 console.
