Illogical statements don't deserve well thought-out replies.
I explained, with evidence, why digital titles can go rare. (I can give other examples like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on Xbox Live) and also showed that expiration codes weren't anti-consumer as Sony has a system in place for legitimate buyers to get codes reactivated or replaced.
Those are both perfectly logical as far as I can see, if either of those isn't then please educate me.
You're really defending a company that allows a store to sell a product that is defective? Without a working code for 2 of the promised 5 games, they are by design selling someone an inferior product. Sony may have printed too many copies, but that is their fault and not the consumer's. The consumer should not have to worry that the code in their brand new game is expired.
Even if the content is no longer for sale on a digital store, codes should be honored as long as they are sold unless printed as such on the box.
Sony has little to no control to choose when a store has to stop selling a game. If they give the game to a distributer or retailer in working condition, it is their responsibility to sell it before it expires, not Sony's. It would be like buying an expired chocolate bar in a supermarket, then having a go at the chocolate manufacturer for the supermarket selling you gone off food. (The fact food has the expatriation date on the outside bares no difference as the store shouldn't sell, or display, expired produce)
As stated before, Sony will replace codes that have expired so long as you can prove you bought the game, I'm not seeing where Sony is tricking people?
Yeah, I have to contribute as well - not only the PSP ports are not included on the disc, the downloads expire, but I couldn't actually use them in Polans, because they're available for US & Canada only! I purchased the Saga over internet, because I've not played any of GoW games, so I thought it would be best to have them all-in-one. Imagine how surprised I was I couldn't download them. Luckily, I could sat up a fake US account and get it, but it simply shouldn't be that way. I paid for it and I should be entitled to use it wherever and whenever I am. Hope Sony rectifies those issues for PS4.
The Saga Collection only came out in America, the Omega Collection is the European equivalent you should have purchased. It is only the sites fault if they did not make clear you were buying an American version. PSN codes have always been region locked AFAIK.
