Nah, it was amazon's site, secure page, and it shows up in my orders list on my amazon account page. So it did go through amazon, but it was odd the way I had to purchase it
lol no. It did the same for me and I'm on my Amazon account now staring at my (useless) codes.
Request full site at Amazon.com
Yup, I also had to enter card info.

why on earth would you stand in line somewhere to acquire a digital code when you can easily buy from amazon?

So the SEN link shows up, says the price is going to be $30, but it doesn't work. Is it down/sold out/not active yet/what?
Limit 2 per person.
Thus far there's no confirmation SEN will actually drop it to $29 for today, it's possible but many reports now that it was a retailer specific deal. No one knows 100% for sure except Sony.
Probably because tons of people are trying to redeem codes at the same time, it being Black Friday and PS4 launch day in Europe. Unless you need to redeem the code now I'd give it a couple days.

Not being a snarky douche - but this seems to state that it IS going to be on sale?
Not only that, but the "buy now" button used to link directly to the PS+ Year sub on the store. So yeah, it didn't explicitly read "YOU WILL BUY IT IN THE SEN STORE" but it sure as hell didn't point in the other direction either.

This is not the deal you are looking for

Not taking it as a douche, you're actually confirming what everyone is pissed off about.
It's now 03:35pm in NYC and it's STILL not discounted

I hope that's bullshit, because I passed it up a few times today while out shopping. I want that $60 purchase to get the $10 credit.
OK good - I realized my statement COULD have come off as such, haha. I wanted to clarify before posting.

Ditto, it has been working like crap all day.
Hopefully i can still activate Dark Arisen by then...
Didn't happen and most signs are pointing to it not happening at all.

Huh, I just bought it on Amazon, got the code (after like :30) entered it on Vita, and had no problems at all.

Well, Maybe, because the link now is v2? Before it was just a date of 11222013 something like that. Let's see if it changes to v3

I very nearly passed it up, I ended up snapping up 2 from Amazon direct. So I'd end up with 4 years if they post it, it's a lot to bulk up on but what else am I going to use $70 credit for? :/
I wanted that $10 off spending $60 - my fault for being greedy I spose.

PSN is largely crashed today due to Europe coming online.

I can't even login. PSN is borked due to the European launch and a zillion people trying to enter PSN+ codes.

Anyone else having problems redeeming PS+ codes?
edit:guess so

If anyone is reading this from Sony, use the PS+ monies to fix PSN for fuck sakes. Rent servers, build your own server farm. Whatever it takes. No excuses now, you're making bank on PS+...use it to make your service non-shit please.

I'm calling them, it's bullshit to have to wait when Amazon gives that code instantly. Now on a probably long hold.
EU killed the PSN finally
In the same boat as you. I threw funds in my wallet as soon as I saw the splash page with the $29.99 "Buy Now" link to the PSN store. In the end I guess it was pretty stupid of me to think that the $29.99 link would actually point to something that was $29.99. Lesson learned.

You cannot redeem these vouchers on the SEN website, you have to use a PS3, PS4, or PSV to redeem them. If you get an error while redeeming the code on a PS3/PS4/PSV and want to confirm it went through you can go to your Services List, there should be a PS+ sub if went through successfully.
PS3 Services List: PSN -> Account Management -> Transaction Management -> Services
PS4 Services List: Settings -> PSN -> Account Information -> Services List
Vita Services List: Store Bubble -> Detail Bubble -> Services List
PS3 Services List: PSN -> Account Management -> Transaction Management -> Services
PS4 Services List: Settings -> PSN -> Account Information -> Services List
Vita Services List: Store Bubble -> Detail Bubble -> Services List
Around 4:10 AM EST.
Yeah it seems to be a requirement for their PSN DD store.
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.
