Hey! This time I’m going to show you how to play games online in your main account without plus, FREE. To be clear there’s nothing magical or fishy here, we’re just renewing the PS Plus free trial as soon as it expires, with a new email address.
So, lets start.
1- First, we log out of the PS4. This can be done by going to the power option.
2- Press the PS Button in your control. You gonna see your user, and left your user the option of “New User”. Select it.
Now, you have two options.
Create a User
Play as a Guest
Select “Create a User” and click the “Accept” button.
3- You’ll see a Playstation Network screen, select “Next”
4- When you get to the Playstation Network login screen, select the “New to Playstation Network? Create an Account” one. Select “Sign Up Now”.
Okay, this is the important part. In the “Country or Region” square, select [size=150]CHINA[/size].
As you see, everything is in Chinese now. You’re going to leave everything as you see in the next images.
Select the last button which i guess it means next.
5- In the first one, put 4885.
In the second one, put the first.
And in the third, put anything. It should be like the image.
Select next.
6- This screen is an important one.
We need to put a email and a password, but, if we put a false email, we cant confirm the account. So, we gonna use a “15 minute email”.
7- Right in the PC, go to mailinator.com
The part we of the page is the square that says “Check Any Inbox”.
In the “Check Any Inbox” put a random one. Personally I selected ps4tsal02. (Ps4 tutorial section AlexxLopaztico02)
Okay, we’re going to need the pc later. Go back to the PS4.
8- Back to the ps4, we put the email we “created” in the first square. (Mine is ps4tsal02@mailinator.com, for example)
In the second one, put a password. It gotta be with a capital letter, and 4 numbers. Minimum 8 characters.
And in the third one we repeat the password. It gotta be like this:
Next, hit next.
9- Put a random ID in the first one.
In the second one a random name.
And in the third a random lastname
Gotta be like this, hit next.
10- Go and hit next
11- Go and hit next
12-Go and hit next
13- After that, you gonna get this weird screen. Hit the right button.
14- Kay, almost finish. Go to the mailinator page and reload your inbox. The email Sony just send gotta be there. Open it. Click the blue button, it will open another page.
Now that the page was opened, we finished in PC. Back to PS4.
15- You gotta be in a page with a mail image. Select the right button, and it will get you to another screen with another email that has a check. Cross to go next.
16- Now you are in a facebook page, select the left button which i guess it means skip.
17- Now you are in a PS+ page. Everything is in English, thanks god. Hit next.
18- Hit Skip.
19- IMPORTANT ONE SELECT THE “ACTIVATE” BUTTON, IF YOU DON’T DO THIS YOU CANT PLAY ONLINE IN YOUR MAIN ACCOUNT.
20- Hit OK.
21- Now, you are in a home screen. Go to “Settings”, it is left the power option.
22- Navigate between the options and select the Application Saved Data Management
23- Select “Saved Data in Online Storage”
24- You’re going to be in this screen. Select the first option.
25- Congrats! Now you’re plus. Press the PS Button to go to the main screen, and log out of the user and select yours.
Now, even if you aren’t plus in your main account, you can play online.
Its all folks! 😀
(Note: The plus will end in 14 days. Repeat the method to get plus every 14 days.)

Not for nothing but this is a huge pain in the *** just to save $60. If you can’t afford a game why do you have the console. I rather cough up the $60 as there are added benefits like cloud saves and free games, when the free trial ends you won’t be able to play any games you downloaded.
I am one of those people that will play PS4 for a few weeks and then won’t touch it again for a month or so…so it’s hard for me to justify paying that much for online games. I have other gaming options. I play on my Vita, PSP, Wii U, 3DS, retro consoles, and my phone as well…so PS4 isn’t my only way of playing games. Not to mention, since I play games on other platforms, I gotta buy games for them. To be able to get “Free PS+” for just a couple weeks at a time would be great. Personally, I think paying for PS+ is BS anyway…you bought the system…you bought the game….you are paying for the internet…you should be able to play games for free like PC users do…The PS+ thing should be reserved for those that just want discounts on games or free games every month….
Yeah but you do realize that companies do have servers to keep up and running costs from them meaning besides the initial purchase they don’t see any money unless DLC is added in but even then that does not mean it will be successful. Either way people have upkeep and other costs as well. It’s nice to help indies out as well as I am sure they get a fraction of the PS+ people’s subscription for their games being added in.
Don’t see the point of this ***. I paid for ps+ on the PS3 and will continue to do so on my PS4. It’s people who does this *** that makes it so expensive for the rest of us. Stop being cheap and just buy it.
You pay 60$ to Sony and not to the developer of the game. Why do you think this money goes to devs to maintain game servers? Sony doesn’t host Destiny servers or Division servers or whatever game you prefer. Even for playing private matches with your friends in MK or Rocket League that doesn’t require much (it is if they aren’t p2p that hosts on your side) you have to pay.
And I didn’t even mentioned the quality of the service. Oh did I? Those endless patches that improves nothing (we all know what they patch here 😉 ), but stoping you from playing (hey NFS!) until you download and install it. Of course, you download each update from Sony’s carefully maintained (60$ annually multiply on millions of gamers) servers on hyper speeds like … 100 kb/sec ?? And then suddenly they announce that some hacking bastards hacked their gorgeous network with all the consequences.
60$ not that much, but does Sony worth it? I’m PS+ member for quite some time, but I do that it’s ridiculous. There is no rivalry.
The servers costs are included in your games & console.
On PC it’s only trough games and it work better than on consoles, with more features and better stability.
The necessity of a subscription to maintain online gaming is a lie, it’s only there to get easy money from console gamers.
Do you think Sony give money to EA or Ubisoft when you play online on their games, on Ubi/EA servers? No, the PS+ subscription is only here to steal players.
It’s the same for Microsoft, when the first xbox one concept with cloud computing it could be justified (since cloud computing & cloud gaming like ps now servers don’t need the same ressources), but now the xbox one live is theft as mush as the 360 live or the PS+.
Actually, Sony MIGHT have TO pay the company, since they have to include the cost of a new game on their PSN. I mainly pay for PS+ for those free stuffs that comes with it. And if I have to pay those $60 just to play online, I get an added benefits of getting free games for PS3, PS4 AND my PSVita. All together, if you look at the digital costs, they might all total over $120 worth of game for a month.
That MORE than what XBox did. When Xbox induced that systems, I was skeptical about it for two things, They didn’t provide the server for players to play multiplayer in, and I find it funny that Activision that works WITH M$ was a lie and that their multiplayer is a lie and still rely on P2P, in which a person is the host for everyone else.
only dumbasses pay to play online
All now to Lord Dan. He speaks with great wisdom. Lead us lord Dan
I think it can be only done 7 time,
