Playstation Plus discussion thread - Part deux

Ah ok. I thought it was a smyths ps plus code type deal.

I'd say it's a monitary card. Sony removed PS+ subscription cards from PoS codes and the activate at till cards last year with the addition of the two higher tiers.

It's there, you need to go to the PS4/PS5 bundle for the Extra version.

Went back to Lidl today, the card wouldn't scan on the checkout at all (tried a few of them). I didn't see an expiry date on it but there could have been one.

The card definitely said Playstation Plus 12 Month Subscription on it and the €59.99 price was printed on the card also (and Irish flag)

Probably leftovers from the old system which weren't supposed to be put out on sale again.

We'll just buy the Essentials subscription online.

For a plague tale alone that's a great month. I've been looking forward to playing that.

I tried the first plague tale but couldn't get into it. I don't think i tried too hard but feel like the sequel will be a pass from me as well. No interest in evil west and never heard of nobody saves the world. Shyte month for me.

I really enjoyed the first Plague Tale so it’s nice to see the sequel.

I've held off buying new games because I was sick of seeing them pop up on ps plus a few months later

My son's plus subscription automatically renewed on 1/1/24 but he no longer wants it. He has now cancelled it and is looking for a refund.

I've tried online chat with sony but always get the "we are extremely busy" line and it disconnects. Have tried multiple times to call but just rings out and disconnects after 15/20 minutes. I've also sent an email to "support@ie.playstation.com" and am waiting for a response.

What's the best way to get the refund for this and is there a 14 day "cooling off" period upon payment?

Just under half way through Evil West. It's a very solid 7/10 game. I got frustrated with the combat so I stuck it on story mode and I'm enjoying it a lot now.

Got a response from Sony this morning, didn't realise that the cooling off period does not apply to subsequent recurring payments.

"I can see that your next membership payment has only just been taken, so on this occasion, I’m happy to say I’ve cancelled it and refunded the charge back to your payment method as a gesture of goodwill. You’ll receive the money within 5 business days, depending on your payment method issuer. 

Our cancellation policy provides a 14 day “cooling-off period” on the initial purchase from the start of your subscription, which allows you to evaluate the service and to cancel and obtain a refund within this period. Although, the cooling off period does not apply to subsequent recurring payments. "

Looks like the promised "select" Crunchyroll titles will be available in the Core app for Premium subscribers.

Hardspace Shipbreaker is a great game. Cool little story to accompany either a hectic fast sessions, or relaxed deconstruction. I personally recommend to play on Open Shift with Oxygen Drain disabled, as it's just annoying more than anything (still have to fill the Thrusters). The time limit of 15 minutes would make the sessions more hectic, but I prefer to take my time and relax and do it all in one go (ie: Open shift vs Standard). I played the crap out of it on Gamepass, and only bought it a month or so ago on PS.

I also played Wonderlands ages back and was disappointed there wasn't a better focus on melee, so I'll probably jump back into that with the knowledge its still a full on looter shooter. Might gibe RE2 a spin, haven't played any of the remakes. And maybe Lego City Undercover for a while. Rest I'm not interested in, but still a pretty good month imo.

Wonder what anime will be added to Core. I already have CR anyway, so no benefit to me, still interested to know though.

Resident Evil 2 is an excellent addition.

That's a great vid, subbed.
