Kind of bummed that the one CoD game for Vita is not included in the sale. :(
The $10 promotion is kind of a slap in the face for those of us who’ve already pre order Infamous Second Sons…… I can’t even cancel my pre order and re pre order it to get the promotion.
So much whining. What an embarrassing display for the community. Delays and glitches happen. Stop sobbing about it.
The PSN update was late, but I fortunately did not need to get any digital games day one. As long as you try to avoid it happening again, thank you.
When do we get our dark souls 2 pre order bonus ?
I’ve pre ordered MGS V: GZ, but there is the free Peace Walker pre order bonus?? It was my last pre order on the PS store…. Alot of ppl are angry, cause you lied to us when I pre order then I get a free game, and got nothing what you promised…
Is there going to be like a digital upgrade for PS3 The Show to the PS4 version? Not paying full price for both, but if I buy one and get the other at a discount I might, especially since saves transfer.
I had a question about that $10 PSN code if I spend $60 if I preorder infamous second son since it only charges me $59.99 would that still counts since it’s not an even 60 or over??
As a member of Plus, if I buy a game that just went on discount but it is not a marked PS Plus game do I still get the online pass free? Someone please let me know thanks.
Hey Guys! nice update!
Please, just one question. The problem with the pre order bonus of Dark Souls 2 was corrected ?
Loved the price changes, even tho I already have most of them it’s cool for when I my friends ask for recommendations.
on PS Vita sorry I forgot to say
fort defense is a demo, don’t buy it people.
I have preorder Dark Souls 2 in 3/08/2014, and Infamous Second Son on 2/06/2014 before this promotion was announce.
Do I still get the US$10?
@164 – No. I already contacted a rep about this. We got shafted.
Will the PS Store update again on Friday when inFAMOUS: Second Son comes out? I would really like to know please! Thanks.
@165 – What’s the point of preorder early then?
I understand there always will be technical issues once now and then, but please in the future gives us status update so we at least know what is going on and when we can expect it to be fixed.
@167 – I ask myself the same question. This has happened to me 3 different times. Seems they always do this promotion the day a game launches, so everyone that preorder doesn’t qualify. Becuase of this I will no longer preorder.
Where is Pre-Order Bonus for Dark Souls 2? i`m nearly at the end of the game, and still no bonus in PSN, lol.
If I purchase 60$ in credit for my SEN wallet for later use, will I receive the 10$ in credit?
The MANY delays Sony has with updating the PSN store is inexcusable. You guys are a MAJOR corporation. The total lack of disregard to keep anyone updated on what is going on is a big slap in the face to your loyal fans.
Keeping us all in the dark is not the way to run a company. What is wrong with you people over there? This isn’t the first time either. Unbelievable. Sloppy and unprofessional.
And FYI I understand you try and keep people posted on Twitter sometimes. But, here’s a major shocker: Not everyone has/uses Twitter. Try also posting updates on this PS Blog and on Facebook. Maybe even send messages to everyones console?
Get with it alredy PSN team. Maybe have a field trip day to Microsoft and their XBL team so they can show you how to properly run a company’s online infrastructure.
What the hell! I bought the Yuna FFX, and it gave me the Yuna FFX-2, I already have that one
Umm did anyone else notice this?
GET $10 CREDIT FOR SPENDING $60!
(For CANADA)
i was checking sony.com/credit and it said for legal resident of canada
Worst free Plus game ever…. EVER!! Overpixellated junk. I’d even rather play Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures 10 times over than play this. Speaking of which the latter would make a much better Plus game!
IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT WE WILL GET A NEW UPDATE FOR THE PS VITA BECAUSE I’VE NOTICED THAT WE CAN’T POST COMMENTS ON THE YOUTUBE APP ANYMORE BUT WE CAN LIKE VIDEOS AND WHEN IS TAG COMING OUT BEEN WAITING FOR THAT APP TO COME OUT TO THE U.S.A.
Question, will the SEN PC Store ever be fix, every time I log in, I don’t see the “add to cart” in the game section, but it seems to be their on the Movie and Television section, why is that, is it to prevent for PS + subscribers on getting PS4 Instant Collection without a PS4? I really hope this will eventually get rectified.
Last tuesday I cancelled my preorder for Ground Zeroes at gamestop so I could buy it digital instead only to find out that there’s no preorder for it on PS4 even when the game comes out in just 5 days. In short, I won’t get a free download of Peace Walker like PS3 buyers from Europe (even when I’m paying $10 more), I will miss the preorder goodies for Phantom Pain, and who knows if I will have the game on time.
@ 172, GMFCO311- PSA: you can access the Twitter acct. online, no app req. Yes, I too wish things would be perfect. Though the Microsoft bit is unnecessary. They make errors too. Netflix req. Live, Sony users do not, so maybe their servers are better? Who knows, but a 2-day delay isn’t a reason to rage.
When will War Thunder be on the PS4 in North America? There has been no news on that
@grace/blogstaff,
Can you either put a box that contains your last 6 tweets on this website, or post the status updates of last stores on this website. IIRC was it not created to communicate with the Sony Playstation fanbase? So why do I have to get updates only from twitter on the latest and greatest from Sony?
@ Solo_CyberpunK,
Sorry you need to spend the money on product, not fund your wallet with it. That money must be spent from your wallet to the penny that they ask for, they will sometimes give it for $.01 less, but I’ve seen them not give it also.
No Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite?
@aleckzGOhard,
The PSP/Vita games come in week 3 and week 4 of the store update schedule. This is/was week 2, so next week, one of them should be available, If you want to find out for sure look MOnday morning for what game comes to PS+ for that week.
Now if only you guys would fix the store website. I can’t buy anything there.
Preordered Ground Zeroes! So hyped just to dive back into the complex world that is Metal Gear again. Can’t wait for Phantom Pain and MGO!!!
You guys SERIOUSLY need to add the “WISHLIST” feature to the PS Store as soon as possible. There are so many incredible games and we just can’t keep track of them! C’mon guys, it can’t be that hard!
Keep up the good work!
I know I’m late on the jab, but I’m pretty sure the Store became aware of those overdue first-party price drops and rebelled against them for a couple days. Gotta get dat digital dosh!
(But more seriously: More DOA5U freebies! And Lone Survivor, besides.)
You should go back to the “spend $50 get $10” =/
The PSN needs a gift feature. :(
As much as I love PlayStation and Sony, I’m not quite happy about this update being so late. Let’s just hope this never happens again. Luckily the price for the Black Ops II Season Pass got discounted on Tuesday, I would have been really mad if I had to download the DLC now.
Any of you fine PS Blog folks know if we will be able to preorder MGS: GZ or Dynasty Warriors 8 Complete for PS4? They come out on the 25th, and have already preordered other games in brick and mortar stores and was waiting to specifically buy those digitally. It would suck a little if I missed out on the $10 promotion because of that
If it doesn’t have David Hayter playing as Snake, it ain’t Metal Gear. Not buying. Accept no substitutes!
When am I going to get my dark souls 2 pre order bonus?? It’s so bad now because fromsoft said the weapons could be found in game without the black armor edit but I’ve searched the the black gulch high and low and the weapons that’s supposed to be there are not. Does this have anything to do with my game being black armor edition digital and the game already thinks that I have the weapons that’s why it’s not showing up because you know when you download a game the bonuses download with it. I don’t really know honestly. This is frustrating really especially when you’re a deep ds fan! I think I’m maybe over leveled now for those weapons. Is this fair quality costumer treatment sony?? I’m disappointed really that’s the last I buy digital. Lesson learned well thanks for that.
Really? I just preordered Second Son but I don’t get any store credit? It’s ONE FREAKING PENNY LESS than the stupid freaking deal. Seriously? You guys are that Jewish? And where is Ground Zeroes for PS4? Why are you prioritizing PS3 when PS4 should be getting more of a focus? Bunch of kikelords over at Sony.
@195 well if your such a DS fan, then you wont have an issue replaying the game with the weapons. its not fair, but they are also not doing it on purpose. every company has issue like this weather it be steam or ms.
10 $ promo, NICE :) I have preordered inFAMOUS on March 11th, which is 59.99 $, now i just have to buy something cheap to pass the 60.00 $ :) From what i understood the period for purchases is : between March 11th, 2014 and March 18th, 2014, which includes March 11th, correct ?
@ swagbosss420
You don’t get the credit right away, sunshine. Read the fine print. The credit is delivered to you after the promo ends. It has always been that way.
Hi,
Just noticed this, but Unit 13 for PSV is $17.99. Isn’t the game supposed to be free for PS+ members?
Thanks.
