I was curious if this was cheaper than buying £50 credit with cdkeys using the 5% discount.
With this offer of £35 at £30.80 you're paying £0.88 per £ on psn, with cdkeys for £50 you pay £43.69 which is £0.8738 per £ on psn, meaning if you buy a hundred times you will make savings on cdkeys otherwise this site is better if you need £35 or less and plan to not buy on psn in the future and dont need anymore credit.
However Press start charge an additional £1.71 per transaction if you want to use paypal to buy anything making the price £32.51 or £0.93 per £ on psn. So personally I can't use Press Start unless their deals take into account the premium of using paypal which other sites dont charge, regrettably.

If you've got the money to buy 100 times of £50 credit from cdkeys then fair play to you.

What about the calculations/equations between price drops in game vs time vs desire to have it now? :smiley:

I'm glad at least you changed the £25 to £35 when copying my sentence as the description of your deal. :confused:

Worked for me, paid with a Mastercard so no fee (and hopefully the gateway can be trusted). I will eventually break and buy at least one of the 12 days deals, so the cheaper credit is going to save me money :smiley:

Anybody had any issues with PressStart? Did they ask for any ID as such, or just put your card details and off you go?

I used it a few weeks ago, and it was just put your card details in and press OK. The voucher code was emailed to me within seconds, and it worked on PSN.

Completely normal payment gateway transaction in my experience. However, Halifax did send me a text to ask if it was fraud, so, they do look dodgy to the computers :smiley: However, the code was accessible almost immediately, and went through fine

Yeah, I had that issue. They wanted a drivers licience or passport. I wasn't going to send them either with them being a forgien site. I attempted to cancel my order and got some inane cheeky message along the lines of "What? You'd rather cancel than provide extra id, refund refused" I got a refund from mastercard and I'll let them take it up with them. I appreciate many people have bought without issue, but there is something about this company that just doesn't sit right with me. Their childish taunt regarding the cancellation of my order should tell anyone that the company is run by a bunch of amateurs.

I have found quite a few people selling store credit really cheap, In the last month I've bought about 10 £5 credit for £3.50, a few £35 for £25 and £40 for 28.
The best thing to do is on the eBay app search for PSN and sort by newly listed then follow the search, Now just keep checking for new listings I think I normally check 2-3 times a day for my follows but make sure the seller has positive feedback for selling even though I have chanced it when they have no ratings as some people like to sell store credit cheap to build up there PayPal limit or something.

Just did the cdkeys.com £25 for PSN with the 5% discount and it works out cheaper then the Press Start option which used to be £20 something but I guess they bumped up the price as they did sell out pretty fast!
I know its only 39p difference but every saving counts :smiley:

if you don't know the exchange rate of what you're buying I think that's closer to gambling then shopping, that sounds like the kind of fun you mean XD

Right now the best deals are in the preowned physical games, it will be a while before the digital sales for ps4 can compete with that.
Obviously if you are only looking for recent games, it will always be hard to find decent deals there.

How is a £2 saving a hot deal?

19 Dec 16#38
Trying to do the math... 35 - 31= 2 ??? :confused:

19 Dec 16#41
I totally agree - I posted psn plus 12 months last week which saved you 6 pounds and it was voted cold. This is hot though and only saves you 2 pounds.

for the sake of 9p (and potential cashback if above correct) id rather use cdkeys
known customer service and paypal = thanks

I would of said the same but Press-Start is just a branch off company of Instant-Gaming as I've used them before without any problems and are highly recommended.
But I agree cdkeys.com are very good and have good customer service.

lol if any of you seriously think paying for online is acceptable when you already pay for them when you buy the game, you need to move to PC.

Why? What paid services are there on PC? Steam, Origin, uPlay are all free...
[Edit]...and what does that have to do with paying for games?

Again wondering about the magical formula that caps the saving at £2

Why so much negativity toward the OP? Better to copy and paste text into a hot deal than not post hot deals at all

Just picked a £35 card up for £30.30 on CDKEYS with the 5% FB discount, so cheaper there now than here :man:

the 5% code never seems to work for me.. I've liked the epage and put the code in exactly how it says and keep getting an error.. am i doing something wrong?

Same here! Would instinctively rather go through CD Keys, but, never got the code to work once...

21 Dec 16#55
You need to be logged into an account on CD keys for it to work. Make sure your logged in before you try and check out with the code! Hope this helps :smiley:

Like I said, move to PC.. Because online is free. On consoles you pay £40, £30 if you're lucky, to play online. Then there are games that require PS Plus otherwise you cant play. Like overwatch and battlefront. lol
