It is IF XGPU is included. Sure is.
I already took advantage of the $1 conversion promotion (from Gold to XGPU) and am good until June 2022. But $20 is $20 /s ... AND now I'm open to just subscribing.
Here is a powerpoint from Microsoft on the subject. It covers Xbox, but also PS and Nintendo.

It looks like they want you to have a VAT ( value added tax) number set up already and send it with the application.
This guy.. fucking deleted his comment after calling me broke for not wanting to buy a second DualSense when I got two perfectly fine DS4s sitting in the house. Original exchange:
/u/MercWithAChimichanga:
Yeah chief I'm good off a $80-$100 controller. Dualsense won't be anything less than that considering JoyCons are $80 without sales tax.
I'd rather use my Xbox One controller that I already have, PS5 not supporting PS4 controllers is just Sony greed at it again. Don't be fooled.
/u/Freddit1975: Can't help you out if you're broke pal, but who buys new tech to use with old stuff haha.
/u/MercWithAChimichanga:
> Can't help you out if you're broke pal
Yeah, your just dense I guess. Not gonna dive into my finances deeply but I'm not "broke" lol. I just don't fall for Sony's BS about PS4 controllers not being able to play PS5 games. They can work for PS4 games, but not PS5?
> but who buys new tech to use with old stuff haha.
By that logic, are you upgrading your TV? Headset? Sound System? Internet package/router? Or are you just broke and can't afford to upgrade your old stuff haha.
"WhO bUys NeW tEcH tO UsE WiTh oLd StUfF!?!" headass.
It's a fuckin' controller with 95% of the same functions as the previous. I use three generations of controllers on PC, but Sony can't support their own product for more than one generation?
100% guaranteed someone will be playing PS5 games at launch on a DS4 with a controller spoofer, because Sony is just lying about the games being unplayable on PS5 with DS4.
Do I need to explain this any further?
I bet someone will make a controller adapter for PS5 like we see on Switch/Xbox/PS4 already.
I use an Xbox controller on my Switch lol. You can buy these (or something similar) already for Xbox and PS4, they let you use almost any controller for the Switch.
Someone will make one for PS5 and I have a feeling it'll just bite Sony in the ass again, after claiming "PS5 games NEED to be played with our $80-$100 DualSense controller". I don't see how a controller that high tech and premium would be anything less than $80, two JoyCons already cost that much.
