Final Fantasy XV 80% OFF in Europe PSN
- Thread starter Santiako
- Start date
I feel equally smug being late to work to get this...I even used PayPal instead of cdkeys for credit because I was worried it'd be pulled!
Didn't physically start the download on PS4 so hopefully that works when I get home.
Square, if you're watching I had no intention of buying FFXV for more than a tenner, so revoking my license will not earn you a sale at a higher price.

Okay finally fully downloaded and installed. Now for the waiting game to see if it gets revoked.
Same for me.
FF XV wasn't even remotely on my radar and I was perfectly fine with waiting for the eventual PC version but at 14 it was too good of a deal to pass up

Yep, either I keep this or I just borrow it from a friend of mine (which was the plan originally)

To be fair in instances like this I'd imagine Sony are basically forced to pay the remainder of what would have been owed at the intended price. It's their network and their mistake after all.

Initial impression: hmm cool presentation, might be interesting.

Price wasn't that crazy, they shouldn't revoke.

I'll probably be halfway through the game when they revoke it, lol.
Hmm. Can they do this in EU? I mean can it take so long as in that example?
Basically they have my money and if it takes so long. One would think that consumer rights come in.
IF they do that and it takes like 8-10 days, I will surely contact my country's consumer office about that.

There is currently no issue. We paid for it and are able to play and support doesn't know what decision corporate Sony is going to make in the next couple of days anyway.
I'll play the game and if Sony decides to take it away I'll wait for the pc port as previously intended.
No easy answer here. As previously said: they don't need to honour an invitatio ad offerendum, especially not one that occurred because of an error. But they already took the money and accepted the deal. BUT there were curt rulings forcing costumers to give back stuff that were cheaper because of online store price errors. But Those price errors were very easy to make (399.99 instead of 3999.99) and those were small companies who would have run out of business otherwise.
Yup and obviously if they keep my money many days and inform like after one week there was pricing error your game has terminated and we return money to your wallet. I will contact consumer office, like this:
"Hey CO, Sony offered sale game and I bought it (have the recipe in the email). Now they canceled that deal and returned money to my Wallet (when I paid with CC). What should I do? Shall I file this reclamation to them and send it to you too"?
Usually it helps a lot if reclamation mail is send to company & to consumer office.
My PS3 broke 2010 to YLOD, it was almost 3 years old (few weeks less than 3y). I contacted Sony and informed them about situation and my right and their liabilities about broken machine (where the broken thing was from start of the console). Got reimbursed PS3 back (which still works)
. Obviously different story now, but so good we have these consumer rights .Dark Metamorphosis

I was told by customer support the transaction is fine and the game is now in my Library to stay.

10 days huh, interesting because it'll probably take that length of time to download the 45GB game with my internet connection.
It will let me start it after 7.5GB is downloaded, so 79 minutes to go.

Hopefully they stick to this.
I'm playing Mass Effect right now, but I plan to jump over to this when I'm done.

They never withdrew anything from the EU Store. All of you will be fine.

They did withdraw the free Fallout 4 season pass from about a year back. Though that was probably a lot easier to do given no money changed hands.

They can't revoke. Money has been paid, game has been played.
Shit is mine now, fuck off.
Shit is mine now, fuck off.
Someone in the psn sale thread they had asked and Sony rep said they won't revoke
I don't think that's how it works.

That was me, I answered my own question by asking support lol.
Funny how many users were like "haha hope you people are ready to lose your game" when they clearly had no clue what would happen.
I tried again, this time in the console and it worked. Got PES and Infamous.

In Europe it is. All you wishing otherwise are being petty.

No chance to get the game with that price in a future discount? Even the full package.
How should we know?

I'm so glad I got in on time. Wasn't that interested in the game and a PC release is coming, but for that money it's a no-brainer.

Dunno in a certain event like FF or Square Enix Anniversary. Anything.
Must say, I'm 2 hours in after snagging it at £9.99 and having an absolutely great time.
After hearing so many varied views, its way above my expectations. Looks gorgeous, the music is incredible and I'm really digging the atmosphere it's setting up
Glad they don't seem to be revoking.

You won't see this price again for a loooooooooong time
In many ways it's a really strange game and you can tell that it had a troubled development, but it's definitely not bad if you like open world stuff.

Feels so weird (and cool) to actually be able to participate in one of the few times a game on my radar becomes part of a huge pricing error. Feels COOL!

I think that it seems to be safe to say that the game is finally ours and the license won't be removed.
