Just a reminder that The Crew's DLCs are account locked. The base game can be shared with all other accounts on the same PS4, regardless of region. But any DLC is only accessible to the account that bought it. DLC vehicles and more importantly the expansion packs "Wild Run" and "Calling All Units" are account locked (even other accounts of the same region also cannot access, even a child account also cannot). So another account can play the main game but won't be able to use bikes and monster trucks (introduced in "Wild Run" expansion).

Still worth it, but just make sure you buy from the correct region, using the account you want to play.

Is the crew strictly online online, even if i just want to play SP must connect to server? Thanks!

Yes, it's online only. There will be other random real players occupying the same world instance as you. You don't have to interact with them but they can interfere with your open world activities (ram into you and such), especially with the cop chases (introduced in "Calling All Units"). Save file is also on server only.

You can join some friends to form a Crew to take on missions and activities together (there is actually a trophy for playing in a Crew for tens of hours) but that's optional. I think some story missions may be easier co-op'ing with friends (no random players in story missions) but I completed the game multiple times without ever joining anyone; it's solo-able all the way (but not platinum-able).

btw, from what I know, if you are not joining any crew, then PS+ is not required, even though you will still see random players in the game world.

I stopped playing well over a year liao, so not up to date with any changes, but at that time, no option to turn off other players. Most players are harmless lah, so no issue, just go about your own business. Some may ask you to join their crew, up to you to accept or ignore. If encounter someone too much of a nuisance just quit out and enter again to spawn into a different world instance. Seeing other players around the world instance does make the world feel lived in. Generally it's a positive thing. The map is huge (it's the whole USA) so there's enough room for each to play separately.

Canada PSN CAD20 - us$13.98 (~10% discount)
Canada PS+ 12 months - us$34.93*

*I bot this PS+ card in Feb/Mar and managed to redeem the code on a US psn account. So basically it means 1 yr US PS+ for us$34.93, assuming it still works. (If it doesn't work, redeem on Canada account then. Canada often has lower price anyway. Unless you are already US PS+ member.)

US/EU PS+ IGC - January 2018

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (PS4)
Batman: The Telltale Series (PS4)
Uncanny Valley (PS4+Vita)
Sacred 3 (PS3)
Book of Unwritten Tales 2 (PS3)
Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness (Vita)

Bonus:
StarBlood Arena (PSVR) till Mar 6
That’s You (PlayLink) - EU only

- According to the US blog, Psycho-Pass is cross buy with PS4, but I think that's a copy-and-paste error, cos it is not a cross buy title. The EU blog only mentioned Vita.
- US/EU free games start on Jan 2. SG/Asia seems to be 1 week later. The current Asia Dec offering is till Jan 10.
