Since he did a chargeback, will Sony ban his PSN account?

 

[diffusionx]

i guess the decision on next gen console was made for him.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

It was spam-buying the 3-month version as well, oof

 

[Nickolaidas]

LMAO to the max.

 

[DonF]

I have it setup so that Everytime I buy something it asks for my password. No way to spam that.

 

[Abriael_GN]

Cool?

 

[Lupin3]

Sony should do the right thing here. Good luck with that, though.

 

[cormack12]

Well at least he is guaranteed to be day 1 when GTA 6 Online launches.

 

[LostDonkey]

If he did a chargeback then yes, he will be banned, they are non compromising on this.

 

[Cravis]

As far as I know if you do a charge back to any of them, Sony, MS, Steam, they ban your account and you lose access to any digital content you may have purchased legitimately.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

smh, no refunds?

 

[Birdo]

That's 264 free PS+ games.

 

[dotnotbot]

Don't know if it's possible in US, but in EU he can definitely get a refund for that within 14 days after purchase. Chargeback is dumb in this situation, he should talk to Sony first.

 

[Soodanim]

Unless he opens up communication with someone at Sony that is willing to help very quickly, this won't end well for his account.

 

[zeorhymer]

PS4 lasted about 7 years. So, you think that PS5 will last as long. But from the picture, he didn't buy it from a deal or anything, so yeah, he's a bit careless for buying that many.

 

[iorek21]

Yep, a lifetime of Farming Simulators and NBA2K for free

 

[treemk]

This happened to me! Just one year though, not 11. Was bummed I could not play ESO on PS4 because my PS+ had expired, I go play on PC with my PS4 controller and the next day find out I had renewed it.

Pretty sure Steam changed it to locking you out of the game you filed a dispute for + ban your payment method.

 

[sainraja]

I don't understand how this could have happened with him using the PC?

 

[Rikoi]

And this is why I would never link my main credit card to these services

 

[ROMhack]

>Australian

This is becoming a theme.

 

[Silvawuff]

At least he's set until PS6 or Vita 2!

 

[BluRayHiDef]

How did his controller navigate through the PS4's UI to get to the subscription-purchase page on its own?

 

[dotnotbot]

I don't understand how this could have happened with him using the PC?

1. Turn on PS4
2. Connect DS4 to PC with a USB cable
3. Press the PS button on DS4 so it connects wirelessly to PS4.

Now all the inputs from your DS4 will go to both PC and PS4 at the same time enjoy

 

[Nickolaidas]

Well, 'free' is kind of subjective, here ...

 

[Rikoi]

I was playing PC all today and in the background my controller was still connected to my PS4 and spam buying psn membership.

I can't imagine the controller wanting to forcefully buy a subscription on its own, this is hilarious

 

[Shakka43]

I have it setup so that Everytime I buy something it asks for my password. No way to spam that.

I have it set up so that i don't have my card added to PSN lol.

I buy PSN digital codes from amazon, and PS+ codes from third parties which usually have them cheaper.

 

[dotnotbot]

This is not the first time I hear of something like this, I remember one guy on some forums buying a game by accident because he was playing on PC while his DS4 was still connected to PS4.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Digital is the future! Down with physical!

 

[SleepDoctor]

Why do people insist on leaving cards on file? I've never paid full price for gold or plus.

But I have noticed that on psn my auto renew gets turned back on by itself every time plus is about to expire and i turn it off again.

 

[Shakka43]

If you play via usb on the PC the controller will still stay linked to the PS4 via Bluetooth and sent inputs to both devices at the same time. This isn't exclusive to dualshock controllers either, my Shield TV's controller does the same.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

This could be avoided if PC gamers were to use Xbox controllers on PC rather than PlayStation controllers; I use one of my Xbox One X controllers with my PC. Besides, it makes sense to pair a Microsoft product (i.e. Xbox controller) with another Microsoft product (i.e. Microsoft Windows).

I see, I never noticed that, maybe because I usually turn the console off when I'm done playing with it.

Mmm true, but many people don't have an Xbox controller and will just use a PS4 one to save money and space.

 

[recma12]

Eh, I call bullshit on that.

Would be kinda hard to buy sth on the PSN by accident.
Doing it 44 times? What a coincidence!

In this day and age, it is (sadly) just as likely that the dude bought 11 PS+ cards (you can get 12 mo for 30€ sometimes) and wants the Twitter fame.

Good point. However, I actually bought the first of my two Xbox One X controllers before I even decided to buy an Xbox One X. The reason is that I had become annoyed with the process via which I would connect my wireless Xbox 360 controller to my PC; the wireless receiver would often not connect to the controller.

So, my natural instinct was to get the succesor to the Xbox 360 controller, particularly because it supports Bluetooth. I never considered using one of my PlayStation 4 controllers with my PC; to do so seems unnatural to me, LOL.

 

[Virex]

What's the purpose of this thread?

 

[Shin]

Accidentally huh?
There is always a toggle or field where you input the quantity.
You sure it's not one of the die-hard fans lurking around here promoting again?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

That's 264 free PS+ games.

80% games that nobody care.

 

[username12]

If you do a chargeback, you will be banned. If you try to contact Sony support, good luck. They are terrible. I am still holding a grudge against them over $10 from 7 years ago, which I warned them I would.

Do not store your payment information with Sony. Did we learn nothing in 2011?

 

[Imtjnotu]

Sony should do the right thing here. Good luck with that, though.

By do the right thing you mean give him a PS5 and 6

 

[kuncol02]

What? How? Why? What? Why? What? Why would sombody design it that way? How? What?

 

[sainraja]

1. Turn on PS4
2. Connect DS4 to PC with a USB cable
3. Press the PS button on DS4 so it connects wirelessly to PS4.

Oh god! lol I had no idea. That's something they should fix!

 

[McCheese]

Maybe he really didn't want his Knack licence to expire.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Probably Bo_Hazem and it definitely wasn't by accident

 

[Mistershine.]

Sony should do the right thing here. Good luck with that, though.

The right thing here is to keep his money to teach him a lesson. Fuck refunding idiots.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

First I thought like "woah, 2031. How futuristic does that sound". And then it dawned on me, that this is really just fucking 11 years away. Which is like tomorrow.

 

[A.Romero]

I thought it wasn't possible to pair the controller to two devices at the same time. It's been a while since I used a DS4 for PC but for some reason I remember having to do the pairing on PS4 again after using it on PC.

 

[xrnzaaas]

That's 264 free PS+ games.

You never know, Sony may decide to change their offering to 1 game per month.

 

[Kev Kev]

omg that was a good fucking laugh

I think if you use the controller via USB, then it doesn't wipe out the controller's pairing with a PS4
