It'll get you 1.5 games easy.

Seriously £50 for a game?! :neutral_face:

​Especially when there's no physically copy to manufacture and the fact you can't resell/trade and get some of your initial investment back

Probably one of the most brainless comments I have ever seen on here - I mean for starters let's think what relatively £40 in 1992 was worth compared to £50 now (in fact I remember streets of rage 2 costing 44.99) I mean back in 92 when chocolate bars were under 30p and you could get a can of coke in a vending machine for 35p - so relatively prices have probably doubled in that time for most goods yet video games, with there much greater production costs, have only risen about 25%. I often think how lucky we are that new release video games have not really increased much in the past 20 years (you can still get them sub 50 in shops) when average salaries are probably up 40% and cost of goods has generally doubled

Did anyone who took advantage of this promotion try applying the £15 voucher to a different PSN account (i.e. Was the voucher code tied to the account that was topped up by £100 or giftable)?

Thanks in advance

I never tweet, you can either call or email depending on preference, but only call if you have a service plan that will make it a free call (it's a normal landline number).
Before you do that try and find the terms and conditions on this deal and check all the dates on it and confirm you met the conditions.

Yeah im tweeting askplaystation but still no response :/ is there someone else i should be contacting?

Contact support. You should have gotten a notification on your PS4 quite some time ago

Still havent got my £15 yet.

​Yeah i second this. Got mine yesterday too.

Just had a notification come up on the PS4 of a top-up code for the £15. Just follow the on-screen instructions and the £15 is added to your wallet. Thanks to the OP for this deal, much appreciated.

That's not the problem, the problem is those of us who are less than £15 from the wallet maximum (£120) Who will need to buy something on the store so they can apply the code before it expires.

​I think the code expires but once applied to your account, it shouldn't deduct again

According to the legalese ( https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/legal/top-up2016/ ) They'll be sent within 10 days of the closing date and all vouchers will expire on the 27th. Forcing you again to buy stuff from PSN in order to be able to apply the credit to your wallet if you have over £105.

does anyone know how or when the £15 will be applied to your account

You can spend the £100 anytime, you just had to top up in the promotional period.

Anyone got the £15 codes yet? Should have been emailed today. Haven't got mine yet.

Does anyone know if you have to wait for the voucher before you spend the £100?

is this expired ?

Can someone please send me a Facebook code via pm?

I tend to buy all my games digital, so this is right up my street.

What Nickann stated. You have to buy £100 of credit within the promotional period mate.

​No, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you need to put £100 on your psn during the promotional period

So as i already from last month have £60 in my PSN if i top it up another £40 to £100 will i be eligible for the FREE £15 ?

The wallet limit is not £100. I have £109
Edit: That's all I know for certain about it

Since the wallet limit is £100 you'd have to spend £60 to be able to top up by £100. I got caught by that after buying the top up vouchers and not being able to use them all as I still had credit.

Thanks OP.. heat added

will this work if i top up as i already have £60 sitting in my PSN from last month ?

​3x £35 on Amazon £96. non staff discount

Thanks for writing the list price, makes it so much easier to know instantly if it's still valid without every single one of us having to calculate the 5% just to check *facepalm* put such obvious important info in the OP...
Does anybody know how much CDKeys usually charge for the £50- weeks, months ago? 87% of face value (after discounts) doesn't seem as cheap as I expected by CDKeys standards.

Good deal, but I find if I top up too much I tend to just buy stuff because I have the credit....

Oh i am annoyed now - so i go and renew my ps* on my ps4.....click renew...error, click renew again and put in password...goes through and boom i have purchased two subscriptions....I had been planning on adding one then adding funds then doing the second.....oh well. Damn thing

Works well with anyone wanting too get the division........sadly I have no interest in that one ad with £68 already in the account and nothing worth spending it on this deal isn't for me sadly....even though I would happily take part.

May look at adding a couple of years of ps+ to it....that might work.

Massive caveat empor: You can only have a maximum £100 in your PSN wallet, which means if you have ANY balance left, you have to spend enough to let you top up £50 twice.

Essentially this campaign is designed for you to hit that limit, forcing you to buy stuff on their store.

Back in stock at £45.99 each, -5% bringing it back to the price in the OP (£87.38)

Just picked up two myself.. :man:

* Try hundreds of millions for todays AAA games.

Picked up some good games I've been after due to this deal like Banner Saga, Soma, A Boy and His Blob and Alien Isolation. Still got plenty left too. Thanks OP! :smile:

And that's even before you take into account that games in the 90's cost thousands to produce, today hundreds of thousands if not million's for the biggest titles.

Ok thanks. 36 isn't a bad price either to be honest and game collection are good at delivery

I used to gameshare on PS4 but it didn't work well, because my console wasn't the primary I was unable to use some of the PS Plus features like auto save upload. Worse whenever PSN decided to have issues the system couldn't verify I had a license to play my games so it put a padlock symbol on them and locked me out, I'd be playing a game and a message would pop up saying I would be removed from the game in 15 minutes.

My Xbox gameshare has worked a lot better, bought Division Gold Edition this morning for £32, so £16 each, no way would I pay £60 for the disc or the ridiculous £80 on the UK store. Deals like this don't have much appeal to me, even with the £15 bonus it's still way more expensive than the alternatives (disc or foreign stores).

CDKeys as usual has whacked up their prices due to demand and are OOS now. Deal is invalid now.

There are some of us where digital works out better, so deals like this are always welcome. My nephew lives with me and we both have a ps4, so his ps4 is listed as my primary so we both share content. I pay for 1 copy of PS+ and subsequent games and both of us use it.

Then cold for me. There are no games I want to buy now. I usually keep the credit until the sale then load it.

http://www.thegamecollection.net/dark-souls-iii-ps4.html

Gone up to £35 now but if you keep an eye out for a discount code one should pop up before its out.

so I got a code from the link (29360A8YUT) not accepted at checkout do you actually need to be signed into Facebook to get a valid code as I don't have Facebook :disappointed:

All sold out now!

Voted hot but this deal is breaking my heart. cdkeys don't seem to want my money. I have been chosen as the order they want to monitor so they are making me jump through hoops. Send us a photo of yourself holding todays paper with cdkeys written on it and the date clearly visible type of stuff. Still Final fantasy VII will be worth it

can you top it up and spend it, or does it have to be in there waiting until the final date has passed.

I have just over £100 in my wallet already and it won't let me top up further.

Well said, i dont understand how some people dont understand that video game prices havent ever inflated!

Realistically they should considering how much they cost to make these days, thats why there trying to get twice the amount of money out of each game by using the whole "dlc" business model

out of stock right now, so purchase 3 x 35 and 1 year psn and then that should leave 15 for the bonus .... sorted

Worth getting just for when the store has sales on

but to get the additional £15 you do have to load the credit now

Good deal but please don't load the credit to your PSN account until you are ready to spend it. The Sony PSN system has been hacked several times and people's accounts are being raided. I lost £100 of credit last year as someone bought games with my account, then used it to download the games. I was then stuck with games which I already owned physical copies off. As for Sony, they couldn't give a monkeys. So beware, PSN is being hacked all the time, and your credit is at risk.

Set friend's PS4 as your Primary and split the cost of digital games.

I imagine that's why most of us buy a lot of new releases digitally, anyway.

Thanks OP took advantage of this. between movie rentals and sale items this is a no brainer for me.

Probably one of the most brainless comments I have ever seen on here - I mean for starters let's think what relatively £40 in 1992 was worth compared to £50 now (in fact I remember streets of rage 2 costing 44.99) I mean back in 92 when chocolate bars were under 30p and you could get a can of coke in a vending machine for 35p - so relatively prices have probably doubled in that time for most goods yet video games, with there much greater production costs, have only risen about 25%. I often think how lucky we are that new release video games have not really increased much in the past 20 years (you can still get them sub 50 in shops) when average salaries are probably up 40% and cost of goods has generally doubled

Thanks for the heads up. I probably spend around £100 a year in the PS sales so this is a bit of a no brainer.

Exactly. There are some decent sales on PSN.

Just keep your wallet full for now - The HUKD crowd should be use to waiting for sales!

The store has some decent deals sometimes, so I imagine this kinda investment will pay dividends when they do their big seasonal sales. Plus, some really good indie games are only available digitally, if you're not just interested in the triple-A titles.

If you need a lot of credit in 1 go, it's a good deal - heated :smiley:

Ouch. Got it last week for 8.73 Canadian PS Store

Only things worth getting on the store (in my eyes) are the sale games and perhaps a season pass for games you might really like...
Heat for the deal though, if you can make sensible use of the funds.

This really is not worth it for those considering 3 years of PS Plus as it is £39.99 per year on the PS Store.

Would require a £87.38+£5 outlay to get the £120 required for three years PS Plus....£92.38

Currently with CD Keys one year of PS Plus is only £32.29 x 3 = £96.87.

Granted you would get a saving, but at £4.49 probably not as great as you were thinking.

Does this work for PSN Plus membership?

So if I buy this and add the funds to my wallet can I then purchase PSN Plus or is it games only?

okay thanks, Soma is on sale for £13.59 if anyone is interested in survival horror games

“Voucher Send Timing”
Within 10 days of the Closing Date.

has anyone had the £15 voucher added as of yet, i just redeemed £100 onto my account and wondered if it will be quick or down to the time they have given

Digital
The division gold edition - £79.99
Dark souls 3 - £49.99

Total: £105 after deal


My physical preorders

The division gold edition - £59.99
Dark souls 3 - £33

Total: £93

Not worth it for me.

People actually pay full price on PSN?! :confused:

Try exercising a little patience folks, PSN store has sales regularly

Does anyone have a link to the actual promotion? Didn't receive anything in my PlayStation email address

​yes I'm signed into cdkeys, but the codes I've been given do not work.

just gameshare if you want cheap games

I can't get a cdkeys discount code that works. Can anyone help? I don't have fb. Btw heat OP.

Games are more expensive on the store than a physical version anyway, plus the fact of having no resale value. Still cheaper in long run if you like to buy game for £35-£40 brand new then re-sell after completing or maxing trophy's/achievements.

lol some of the comments

imo it should be top up £5 and get a bonus of £87.50
seems much fairer

£120 is the maximum you csn have in your wallet, right?

Yeah, I mean, I'd like to drop another £100 into it, but you can't actually go over the £120(?) limit, so I'm stuck either way!

Pre-orders don't take the money out immediately, so no way of spending outside of buying already released content (no thanks!)

​I think most people buying from the PS Store have a "game sharing buddy" with whom they split the cost.

​The point is most games fall very rapidly in price these days, which make buying full price digital obscene given many people already have backlogs of games to play. Might be different if you are one of those who spends time on MP games with all the other kids before the fad wears off.

Virtual Racing was £70 on the Mega Drive in 1994, about £108 in today's money!

I know the prices for new games are extortionate, but for older games you can get some good deals.

And if you family share your account, its a bargain

don't see why not. I wont be able to try it, as I wont get the bonus £20 on the ones I have got until after the 8th March. pity, as this would have made it even better.

Yes imagine that, theyre not £25 a go like they were in 1990 for floppy disks, or the £40 a cartridge like in 1992....

Should be noted that in order to apply FB code "This offer is applicable to account holders only"

Yes, Good Deal. However, too rich for my blood...if it was like top up £50/60 then a bonus of £15 why not.

Hope you didn't redeem them before midnight

Hot.

Hmmm i went for this but although i got a 5% facebook discount code and it applied corectly, after clicking pay it charged me the full amount??
I have sent a support ticket. ***UPDATE** Support sorted it for me

This is a great deal, heated, but you do have to pay a lot to get it. I know they don't have to do it at all but would have been far fairer to have a incentive for buying £50 too, say £10 bonus instead of £15.

Sadly much as I'd like to get this I just cannot justify nearly £90 just for PlayStation store credit, especially considering my already large games backlog.

For those fortunate/rich enough to have a spare £90, go for it, its a great deal...

Digital would have to be at least 30-40% cheaper than physical copy for me to even consider it.

​Especially when there's no physically copy to manufacture and the fact you can't resell/trade and get some of your initial investment back

If you're lucky! Their prices are criminal for new games on a digital download. Should be illegal to be so much dearer (or even equivalent of) physical copies

Seriously £50 for a game?! :neutral_face:

I've just gone for it, £50 PSN credit for £43 is pretty worth it, pretty much paying £48 for digital Division. :smiley: (instead of full £55)

£50 is £45.99, am I better off getting that now with the 5% discount or waiting for march 8th for a better offer (to buy Division)? (Division is £55 so ~£50 with this and 5% off)

Not bad but will get 3x 35 topup via tesco staff discount for 86 so get an extra £5 credit so 86 for £120

Almost 3 years of PlayStation plus! Heat

The £15 won't expire on the 27th - PSN wallet funds don't expire at all - the code itself just has to be redeemed by then.

Very tempting, but with retail new releases being between £35-40 and digital being £50 it still isn't quite worth it for me. May be worth it for those buying off the US store.

Excellent will use cd keys, pre order dark souls 3 and save the rest for a rainy day (before £15 voucher runs out) thanks fantasy

​I wonder if this would work with the O2 sims?

Spend £100 on UK store?!

You'd need top up £100 to your wallet between the promotional period, 2-8th March. No purchase is necessary.

eesh, can you not buy from cheaper regions on the ps4?

Good news :smiley: on top up vouchers. Can I just too wallet up and not buy? Or do you think you have to make purchases?

Does this definately include top up codes

Heat mate but shame it requires a big pre-investment. Damn you Sony.

5% Discount code via Facebook

Starting tomorrow, 2nd March, top up your PlayStation Store wallet with £100/€100/AU$150 or more before 11.59pm on 8th March 2016, and we’ll give you an extra £15/€15/AU$20 to spend on whatever great games and add-ons you want.
