Sony appears to be in quite a generous mode today as they are not only sending 20% discount code to users, but also a hefty $100 PSN credit voucher to a few lucky users.

Screw you Sony for not throwing me any of these treats when I've been a member of PSN for 10 years

naruga2587d ago (Edited 2587d ago )

Sony why not in europe ??

MVGeneral2587d ago

Yayy, I just checked my email and I got a voucher. I know you guys won't believe me, so I'll post the code here: 5511-7678-7889
I'm gonna redeem it on Sunday, because I don't have the time at the moment. Honour system guys, don't cash that in before I do.

ziggurcat2587d ago

that isn't even a valid code. it's always a mixture of letters, and numbers.

XisThatKid2587d ago

Plus there's an "N" always in the second set of digits

Same here my friend, same here.

DarXyde2587d ago

Same. Didn't get it, but if consumer loyalty were a factor, you can imagine the same people would hoard the rewards. There are millions of accounts on PSN and we don't know how many people win these things so, if the number is small, statistically, it's unsurprising that we don't win.

xMANB3ARP1G2587d ago (Edited 2587d ago )

yeah but long time active accounts should get some priority who gives a shit about the dude who joined a month ago he can earn his keep like everyone else treat the ones who stayed through the leak and 3 month outage more then the new users. and i mean with all these giveways not just this one. like i never got a pro update credit and bought my pro the day it came out.

DarXyde2587d ago

Well, we can't confirm someone with a few months' membership takes priority either. If it's random, I imagine some at both ends are getting it. Like I mentioned, I've been a member for a decade myself. I'm not upset because I don't expect to win these random drawings, nor do I retain my membership activities with the expectation of getting lucky.

But I think that's the best way to do this: luck.

The_Sage2587d ago

I was a member of PlayStation Underground, a member of the invitation only Gamers Advisory Panel, and have been with PSN from the very beginning, back when it was in its infancy on the PS2 and have never gotten anything. It's a little bothersome.

arkard2587d ago (Edited 2587d ago )

Just curious do you guys actually get the newsletter? If your not subscribed to it then how can you get the random rewards? For what it's worth every time these have been sent out I've gotten the discount, never got a golden ticket. And I am long time user, playstation underground, GAP, day one ps plus subscriber and so on.

The_Sage2587d ago

Why are people disagreeing?

FITgamer2587d ago

You do realize there are millions that have been around that long. If they gave everyone a voucher they'd be broke.

vickers5002587d ago

I don't even get the damned newsletter itself, even though I'm signed up for it.

Lord_Sloth2587d ago

So have I but it's a random thing, not like they're picking us out based upon the years we've been members.

KwietStorm_BLM2587d ago

Are you the only person who's been a member for 10 years or..?

XanderZane2587d ago

I didn't get anything either. I checked my e-mail back for the past 10 days and not one e-mail from Sony. Been a PSPlus member for 4 years now. Never gotten anything from them.

Hey it's like a Willy Wonka thing?!

BIGBOSS082587d ago

$100? Damn, that's generous.

ClayRules20122587d ago

Sure is. Enjoy, to all who receive this =)

BIGBOSS082587d ago

Wish I was one of them but looks like I ain't.

ProGengu2587d ago

Guessing this is an NA offer only?

little-witch2587d ago

With money vouchers it's always NA only. Never seen it happen in EU...

TheTimeDoctor2587d ago

Hey, we bailed your butts out in WW2

BIGBOSS082587d ago

@thetimedoctor

Lol "we". Where were you during WW2? You act like you was actually a part of it. Even your own dad's sperm probably didn't exist than.

cash_longfellow2587d ago

@TheTimeDoctor...I'm pretty sure that was the nuclear bomb..

Tankbusta402587d ago (Edited 2587d ago )

Someone needs to revisit their history books, victory in Europe was achieved before the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN3h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos1h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

PassNextquestion5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger3h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto5h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos5h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long2h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel4h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator3h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
