I can't tell you how much the basic is because I am on the Deluxe one, but I will say that you'd need to purchase the Deluxe one aswell to get a game a month. The reason for this is that PF charge 15% tax on top of games, so one game isn't $9.95 for us, it's more like $11.50 after tax (actually I think it's $11.44). Anyway because of this I've had to purchase the deluxe which gives you $13.95 worth of PlayGold per month. This is the same for any country outside the US and the tax charges can be found in the Support pages I think.
Anyway, I got charged this month £9.93 for the PlayPass plus a £1 overseas charge because of the transaction. I'm aware the current exchange rate is $1.40 to the £, but obviously it can change and you get charged the current exchange rate on the day. I'm not so sure how much I was getting charged before as I was using my mum's credit card and I just gave her £10 per month. I'm also not sure about the £1 charge, I only noticed it when I got charged the last time, but depending on your credit card it might not charge you it. I think it's because I use my debit card which takes the money direct from my bank account that I get the charge.
I think PlayPass is a great way to get games half off and paying £10 per month for a game is a good deal (especially since it could be double). Also once your remaining PlayGold (the amount left over after buying a game a month) builds up, you will be able to get another game, which I did recently after allowing it to build up over a few months. So your paying for a game a month and after about 5 months you'll have enough built up for another game aswell, which is kinda like a free one in a way. This means over a year instead of 12 games, you'd get 14, which I feel is a good deal. Anyway, I hope this info helps you and good luck. Debz :)

Don't worry, about a thing. Cause every little thing's gonna be alright... :D
