Sounds awfully like wishful thinking to me.No refunds allows for deeper discounts.

Because Sony is Japanese.
I hope this is a sarcasm post.Because first party titles are the crème de la crème and every game is optimized for the PS4, there is no reason to ask for a refund.
On PC half of the time the games won't run or there will be performance problems, so it makes sense to have such a system implemented.
Open games for sure. Never bought a code from amazon.co,uk
There is no point in having a 10 day refund on PSN as by the time you actually downloaded the game you'll already be outside of the eligibility period
In terms of refunds, I don't think the returns policies offered by Microsoft or Valve are good solutions. So I'm not convinced Sony would be able to roll out a good solution either. On PSN their are too many arcade style and indy games that you could easily play for a few hours, beat and then return, so a refund policy would need to take be considerate of, and make an effort to protect those developers and publishers from that abuse.
I could easily have returned What Remains of Edith Finch, after I had beaten the game, with Valve's 2hour refund policy.
Only time I have ever tried with amazon.co.uk they have said they need to be sealed. Same as Argos, same as HMV.
Nothing in their returns policy seems to suggest that they would take an unsealed game back within a 30 day period.
Consumers are more likely to buy a game they aren't sure if they'll like if they can easily refund it.
Sony wont be sued in Europe or Australia for violating their consumer laws requiring refunds.
For such contracts, the consumer should have a right of withdrawal unless he has consented to the beginning of the performance of the contract during the withdrawal period and has acknowledged that he will consequently lose the right to withdraw from the contract.

Because no one has legally forced them to do so and it's not keeping people from investing in their system.
It's a shame really. Not even being able to get a refund for a pre order before the game has even been released is beyond ridiulous
well yeah thats how the process works, you are always funding your psn wallet the exact or remaining amount of a purchase from your credit card / paypal / psn card and then using the psn wallet funds to buy licensesI purchased FFXIV: Stormblood on PS4 the day it was announced. I got a gaming PC 2 months later and wanted to cancel my preorder and had a challenging time getting them to refund my money. Finally, after speaking to someone higher up, I did. Only to find out it got refunded to my PSN wallet -_______-

How does Sony benefit from such a system? Be sure to list quantifiable benefits.
Wrong.
UK consumer rights indicate you can return any product within 28 days of purchase with a valid receipt and for the goods to be in a re-sellable state.
What happens if you open a game and the press was faulty making it so the game doesn't play?
Is it sealed, no. Can you return it, yes you can.

Because PSN is held together with tape and string and Sony isn't investing in it.
Ok but does steam not have a similar system? When refunded on steam, the funds go back to your payment method, in this case, PayPal.
I ended up getting the Uncharted expansion but now have a wonky ass $13 left sitting in my #wallet.

With that #wallet, you can purchase those awesome themes and avatars on PSN!
No refunds allows for deeper discounts. I'm happy to do the research and spend less instead.

Live Chat support is useless in this situation. Pretty sure they'll always say no. Tell him to call in and be nice. Don't have an attitude or take it out your frustrations on the CSR and maybe, just maybe they'll help you out.They won't even let you cancel preorders even though their terms say you can. My friend and I played FF14 on PS4 but recently both bought gaming PCs and made the jump to that platform. He preordered the new expansion already on PS4 and entered several chats with customer service and they refuse to cancel his preorder for it.
I told him whatever he does do not reject the charges because Sony will ban his account. I can't believe they won't cancel the preorder; I've cancelled several preorders in the past.
idk bro they gave me a refund for nomans sky
Does Nintendo have a refund policy on eshop?

I'm all for refunds if a game is broken and unplayable or fallsly adveticed.. but refunds because you didn't like the game or you found a sale somewhere else after the purchase .. I have a hard time seeing how that is sonys fault and why they would get in trouble with any law for not giving refunds, on those premises.. would it be a nice gesture? Sure..Consumers are more likely to buy a game they aren't sure if they'll like if they can easily refund it.

After 15 or so emails back and forth I got no refund for NMS.
Had it less than a day too.
Sony allowing refunds would be like them admitting they've sold you a bad product. That's a loss of face. Honor and shame are huge parts of it.
There is no way of knowing this definitively because unless announced due to nature of it being backend improvements there may be things that are improved and go unnoticed whilst the other big things may take a while.Makes you wonder what exactly are they doing with the PSN+ money if they aren't using it to beef up PSN.
Your mistake was emailing them. Phone support has always been better with Sony.
But yeah, they should have a real system in place.

For me a bigger problem is why can't I buy a game that I got with PS+. I don't plan on cancelling my subscription anytime soon, but it would suck if I couldn't actually give them money to keep something for good.
I understood that reference.gifSony allowing refunds would be like them admitting they've sold you a bad product. That's a loss of face. Honor and shame are huge parts of it.
I work PS Support UK.
because that'd open a whole can of worms in terms of people begging for other features that other services have.
I'm astounded that this allowed in the EU to be honest. I just don't understand why consumer right laws are so much weaker for digital purchases than physical (though the answer is most likely that laws are just very slow to adapt to the new digital age).
I bought Witcher 3 on the PSN for almost full RRP price (approx. 50£), played it for a few hours thereby realising that I hated it. If I had bought it at a store (or even Amazon) I could have returned it and got a full refund, but because I bought it online I was out of pocket. Given that with Amazon Prime Now I can sometimes get something delivered within 1-4 hours, and often Amazon is cheaper, there is no reason for me to purchase a game on PSN.
