    The stuff they've offered more than once was always something extra above the norm and on consecutive months.

    Only times I remember the same games are when they gave the PS4 version having previously given PS3 version. Or when they gave that party game multiple months in a row

    Maybe they haven't, I was sure they had but a quick Google shows they haven't. Wrong on that one!

    What 25% off? They stack anyway or is it only for non members?

    I wouldn't use press-start. They take your money through PayPal and then won't send you anything until you send them photo ID and a picture of your debit/credit card. Of course there is no mention of this before you complete the transaction.

    Avoid!!

    They only do that to verify that you are in the country you are purchasing from. Only time they've asked for this is when I ordered while connected to a vpn.

    This is common practice in most Asian countries, for example it is a legal requirement in Japan for proof of ID to use a mail forwarding/reshipping company.

    Plus you don't provide the full cc number, all but 4 digits are to be blacked out/cropped before sending. The cvv is also to be blocked out if visible.

    Believe it or not it is a genuine anti fraud measure as not all the banking systems play nice together leaving the retailer unable to verify the card details. I've had to do this before with the largest specialist US anime retailer for this reason.

    Only ever been asked for ID, and usually it goes ahead without.

    Last time I got asked was when I ordered 2/3 €50 one after the other.

    Only ever got asked for ID on my first order, cracking service from press-start, codes have always been visible within a few minutes.

    Same. (But on their sister site/alternative site, instant-gaming.com)

    Provided a photo of my driving license (with only the the necessary details showing) and the website in the background.

    As their site says:
    Thank you for placing an order! To verify that the transaction was not made by an unauthorized third party, we kindly request you to sent us a picture of either a government issued ID, passport, or driver’s license.

    Only your name, surname and our logo need to be seen clearly.

    As February will be the final PS Plus month for PS3 titles, does anyone think that Sony might start including PSVR titles in its place? It seems to be the one piece of Sony hardware that gets no love from the PS plus monthly games, think we got Rush of Blood and Rigs but that's it.

    So if this is the final month for PS3 and Vita, will they go with a whimper or a bang. I'm guessing whimper with lesser known games

    Hitman is great for anyone who hasn't played it. Especially Sapienza. One of my favourite Hitman levels.

    Wow, For Honor and Hitman 1 are pretty big games to give away. Already have Hitman 1 (though still never played it) and not sure if I'd bother with For Honor, but still, quite a good month.

    Hitman is pretty good. For Honor I didn't like at all.

    I have hitman, brilliant game. Always wanted to try for honour, will give it a go. For those on PS3 and suffer from insomnia, MGS 4 will fix you right up.

    PS3 goes out with a bang with Metal Gear Solid IV

    Happy with Hitman. Got Hitman 2 for Xmas and enjoyed it so getting to go through the first game for free is handy.

    Ah, here. It's absolute scutter. Hours of woeful cut scenes mean you're usually asleep by the time it gets around to actually playing the game.
