What an unbelievable troll job from that ad. Who the hell thought that was a good idea???

Seriously . . . what a stupid fucking move. Let's launch PSN in Europe on the same day a zillion Americans come home with PS4s from Black Friday sales. Brilliant.
Same thing for me as well. It is going on about 14 hours now. It says it would be reviewed in 12 hours, so guess they are swamped and someone screwed up.
Calm down, read the thread. Lots of problems with activation today. Try again later.

Him again!? I hate this guy...
lol thanks dont have time to read my wifes pissed im on the computer wile my kids are up.. getting bitched at right now
They updated the BF blog post on their blog with the SEN deals and they didn't bother adding in the PS+ promo so it's pretty much confirmed that it's not happening.
Someone responded to that though, saying that they just copied and pasted (or bumped) some kind of previous entry? .... so it's not 100% concrete, might be omitted due to lazyness.
EDIT:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaand ok I take back my last post.
Mother.fucker.

I'm just glad Amazon's deal was still up after seeing Sony's didn't exist. That's pretty deceptive seeing as they had the ad with no mention of retailers only.

Just got two $5 codes from Amazon (instant video promo) emailed to me. I thought I'd only get one. Sweet.

Hey, guys. Know how to stack two years of plus? My first code went through on my Vita because it wouldnt go through on my PS3. Now the second code wont go through on neither one. I'll try on my PS4 and website next.
Just redeem on Vita...now to gamestop for another card
How big is the actual download itself?
34gb, so you need double that to install. It states for some reason you need 80 though.

Wow......glad I didn't add funds to my account in anticipation of this.
Ok,
I'll paypal someone $60 US for 2 PSN+ 1 year codes and I'll also give you 2x "Amazon Instant Video Promotional Codes" of 5$ a pop (I have no use for this at all)
Sound good? (Is this allowed? I saw a few posts like this without being nuked?)
No Juniors, sorry.
I did :/ $70 worth.
I'm lucky, I can afford it - I'll eventually use it one day but some of the younger, poorer gamers? ouch.

Code redemption has been disabled for now due to the servers being hammered. Not sure if it is for every region, though.

Ok, good to know. Just wanted to make sure because my cousin and I successfully did ours on our vitas but my second code wouldnt go through lol.
Bought one of these codes from Amazon. Go to redeem it. It kicks me back to the main PS4 screen with no confirmation or anything. How do I know if it worked? I don't see anywhere in the PS4 interface or on the website to check the status of my account. How is this stuff not surfaced anywhere?
Oh, well that continues PSN's perfect record of being down every time I try to do anything at all with it.

So, I grabbed a code from Amazon
Should I wait to redeem it until they have those 15 months for 1 year sales?

Anyone know the expiration dates on these? Bought 2 and I am not getting a ps4 until spring/summer, hope they don't expire that soon lol
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but you can get the 1 yr of PSN for 24.99 instead of $30.00.
Groupon has a deal today were they give everyone with an account "groupon bucks." Its only good for today though. I logged in and was given $5 groupon bucks. You can then search for playstation on their site and buy it for even less than $30. YMMV, the credit is different for everyone, all the way up to $25,000, good luck!

Bought two years worth, will redeem when my current subscription runs out in January.
There should be 1 PS+ icon in the Services List and 2 PS+ items when you select the icon. The first one is your current sub and you should see a button to turn on/off your auto renewal and the second one is just your PS+ entitlement I think. There's no renewal button on the second PS+ and they should both have the same exp date. If you redeemed two codes and only got one year, one of the cards probably didn't go through.You can go to Transaction History to figure out which one didn't went through; the one that redeemed successfully should be at the top of the list.
I would wait if you already have an active sub or bought multiple codes. They usually do a 15 months for the price of 1 year promo every year and this year they counted retail cards towards the promo. The next promo should be around the corner, right around early Spring.

I live in Canada and was kind of bummed when I tried to buy it through Amazon and got the error message that said it's only for US residents. I changed my billing address to a fake address in Delaware with a legit Delaware zip code and was able to buy it even with my Canadian credit card. YMMV

Maybe due to sony disabling code redemption?

Bought from Amazon, redeemed it, hit continue on the PS4 and then it kicked me to the main menu. I'm not sure if that means it's in effect or not...
I'm wondering this too, kind of hoping to wait until Sony has another "plus 3 month" promotion.
Maybe, but this was just an hour ago, and apparently people have had trouble redeeming all day.
