[wilflare]

this is an insane price... and to think that 28pounds was already a good deal :O

 

[Sage00]

Bought. Thanks.

 

[Toki767]

The two important questions.

Is this a digital code and can you buy from the US?

It is a digital code, im not sure if you can buy it from the us i dont see why not as nothing is mailed just emailed but i cant confirm 100% with regards buying.

 

[PaulLFC]

The two important questions.

Is this a digital code and can you buy from the US?

Yes

It being a download code I don't see why not. They just emailed me about 5 minutes after ordering. Worth a try, worst they can do is not process your order.

 

[Sage00]

The code will probably only work on the UK/EU PSN.

 

[Toki767]

It won't let me buy from PayPal

Maybe someone can help me get a code?

I just bought one from Switzerland, no problem here!

 

[madmackem]

The code will probably only work on the UK/EU PSN.

Yeah will only work on uk psn account.

 

[edgefusion]

Goddamn that's a steal. Thanks for the heads up, I just bought one.

 

[Striek]

I just bought one from Switzerland, no problem here!

Does it work on a Swiss/EU PSN account though?

 

[Dambrosi]

I don't think you can buy from the UK GAME site from the USA, no. At least, that's what I've heard. I might be totally wrong, but...

If I'm right, I'll gladly help any of our American friends who want to take advantage of the offer - as long as they have PayPal, of course. PM me if you need assistance, and I'll hook you up.

BUT REMEMBER: these codes will only work with a UK or European PSN account. They're easy to make anyway, just Google for it.

It won't let me buy from PayPal

Let me help you with that one, son. PM me.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

I imagine it won't be the same in store. I have some credit to spend.

Also, the code will not work on anything but a UK/EU account.

 

[Visualante2]

They should really be talking about their commitments to plus on the PS4 soon.

Pretty tempting. How long does this deal run for?

 

[JBourne]

Damn, this site is super polite. Order placed! You hear that, Grace Chen? I'm breaking these shackles.

 

[Go319]

would this work on an AUS account?

 

[ant3b]

Game Uk seem to be doing somethings right these days.

Also will this extend on top of my ps+ all ready?

 

[PaulLFC]

would this work on an AUS account?

No, but you can make a separate UK account that it will work on.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Ah man this seems too good to pass up even though I'm good till May 2014.... should I bite GAF?

Planning on picking up a PS4 so I guess I might as well extend my sub right?

 

[Anteater]

damn, bought one last week, should've waited!

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Yep, I can confirm it stacks.

Buy it. It's an insane value proposition, especially considering how great UK Plus is.

Should carry over, it's tied to the account after all so unless Sony decide to not allow account migration, it should be good to transfer.

 

[Go319]

No, but you can make a separate UK account that it will work on.

thanks for the quick reply!

will start up a UK account.

 

[RibbedHero]

Does the code have an expiry date? Not going to be able to use my PS3 for a few months, wanted to know if I can redeem it later.

Terms & Conditions of Purchase

This PlayStation Network (PSN) voucher code is redeemable only by users holding a PSN account registered in the United Kingdom. PSN accounts are subject to the PSN Terms of Service/User Agreement. Users must be 7 years or older and require parental consent if under 18.

Shame if it means EU PSNers outside of the UK are excluded. Has anyone in Europe but outside of the UK tried this?

 

[dead monkey uk]

PSN has to be the best thing to happen to console gaming in years. PS3 is really on fire this year, add to this some great exclusives this year and PS4 at the end of the year.

Its a shame someone stole my PS3 tempting to pick up a preowned unit for £70, might even get lucky and get my stolen one back

 

[bjaelke]

damn, bought one last week, should've waited!

Stack a few of them. 10 year cycle and all.

 

[madmackem]

I dont think it will work, but you can always make a uk account then play the games on your real account.

 

[NekoFever]

I'm signed up until 2014 but I added another year at that price. I'm going to be screwed if this doesn't carry over to the PS4 somehow

I don't mind helping out if anyone from outside the UK wants to buy one and is having trouble.

 

[maquiladora]

Dat value. Insane.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Game Uk seem to be doing somethings right these days.

Online they're pretty good, in store they're still shite.

And yeah, PS+ subs stack.

 

[JBourne]

How do they go about charging euros to my US bank account? Just take out $26 USD?

 

[Visualante2]

I think they'd be crazy not to, but given the first year of the PS4 is probably going to be quite quiet anyway it's hard to imagine them keeping up the same pace of releases.

 

[Dambrosi]

Actually, I kind of hope that they're doing this in store as well - that would allow me to trade an old game in and get it even cheaper!

How do they go about charging euros to my US bank account? Just take out $26 USD?

Your bank will probably charge you a nominal fee for currency conversion. I know mine does, and that's why I hate buying things in US Dollars.

 

[madmackem]

It seems the link might toss up an error but if you just search through the game website its still £19.99.

 

[Stuart444]

That is a steal.

I also haven't used my GAME points before and have 12.61 points worth to use so:

VALUE REDEEMED £12.61
VAT (20%) £3.33
Total to pay £7.38

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Yep, I can confirm it stacks.



Buy it. It's an insane value proposition, especially considering how great UK Plus is.

Yeah I did bite, couldn't really pass up on it, considering I have a Vita too and they won't drop support for that soon either I don't feel.

 

[RibbedHero]

Why would they take euros out of your bank account?

 

[dc89]

Well... I wouldn't go that far. They still have ridiculous prices for some stuff, I'm pretty sure I saw Uncharted on Vita for £35 even though it was free on PS+. And it's not like they even have a little sticker on the front saying

"HEY!!! Buy PS+ and you get this and more great stuff for free!!!"

So much wrong in there stores still, clever point of sale stuff like that would probably make them more money. I just don't know how happy there supplier would be with a trick like that but still.

But yeah, this is a very good deal.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Yeah I did bite, couldn't really pass up on it, considering I have a Vita too and they won't drop support for that soon either I don't feel.

Indeed. If they do drop support for Plus on PS4, it will still be alive and well on Vita. I doubt they will drop support for Plus on PS4, nor do I feel will they demand users buy new subs if the service changes, they'll hopefully grandfather in PS3 subscribers.

 

[despire]

So does this work for other European accounts also? Or is it just UK?

 

[Zomba13]

Hope they still have codes when I get home so I can order some. Great price.
Stocked up on 3 month plus codes when play.com had them for like £6.99. A Year for £20 is very nice, especially with the quality of the EU/UK PS+

 

[madmackem]

So does this work for other European accounts also? Or is it just UK?

Just uk i think mate, you can make a uk psn account and take advantage though.

 

[Vinterbird]

And since they don't work outside the UK, and I'm interested in doing several accounts, I have a key up for grabs. PM me if you want it.

Edit: Gone.

 

[JoshHood]

I doubt Plus will be on PS4 day one, more likely some months later like Vita.

 

[JBourne]

Why would they take euros out of your bank account?

That's not what I'm asking. I'm just wondering how they're going to charge my card.

I know how you feel, i posted the offer but cant take advantage of it till later today haha.

 

[NekoFever]

It's no big deal. I'll be keeping my PS3 anyway and will need to stay signed up to catch up on the insane IGC backlog.

Might even get a Vita when the price drops since I have most of the good games on my account. But the fact that it carried over to there bodes well for it on the PS4, and Sony's already said that it will play a role.

 

[madmackem]

That's not what I'm asking. I'm just wondering how they're going to charge my card.

When you buy using a card from a different country they will charge you in their currency and you bank will pay them and take the right amount in dollars and maybe add a little charge for doing so.

 

[PaulLFC]

Just noticed this has hit HUKD. Get in quick if you want one before they sell out.
