I keep getting this, too. Don't know if it's sold out, or if it's really just a server error. I have a giftcard from gamestop I need to use.
I got it in the cart and now I get the error page when I hit Checkout. Fuck man, I just want one damn card.

Remember you're competing with not only with USA people, but Canadians, Middle and South Americans, Europeans, etc... for all these online deals that aren't card based.

Imma hold strong. 60$ for 2 years of PSN? That's 2.5$ a month, less than 2 euros. A double cheeseburger costs 2 euros.

If you buy the year of PS+ on SEN does it go straight onto your membership, or can you like gift the PS+ to someone else?

I think the Gamestop deal is done. I was pretty much paying for it, and my cart got dumped.
Amazon, don't let me down.

So where is it confirmed that PSN will offer the same sale?
And now for a bit of FYI:
So for those who didn't have US CC account and worried about Amazon locking their account/asking for Bank Statement after purchasing copious amount of these PS+ cards, the trick here is NOT to actually use your CC to pay for those cards:
1. Purchase Amazon Gift Cards with enough credits to cover all your PS+ cards. You can do this with your CC billing address set to your (true)valid billing address.
2. Set your Billing Address to an US address where there's no sales tax (Such as Oregon/OR)
3. Redeem the Amazon Gift Cards code, then go and purchase the PS+ cards.
4. Make sure all the outstanding balance are paid by the Gift Card ONLY and not by the CC. This ensures that NO transactions will be executed on your CC (therefore eliminating valid address check against your CC/bank provider).
5. Normally the transaction process is instant, but the 2nd or 3rd transactions normally there would be some delay. Don't worry. Check back in an hour or so.
6. Observe my damages, all paid via Amazon Gift cards:
I don't know if this is worth a new thread, but I'm still a junior, so yeah. Hopefully this is useful and/or informative for non-US Gaffers.

Yes.
A while back the $99 model even managed to cause hiccups on Amazon of all places.

I don't think amazon cares.
I can see a system doing it, but XBL? Pretty crazy. 2 more hours until Amazon...

I bought them off Walmart today in the afternoon. I got charged 60 for both of them, no tax. Don't know the reason why tax wasn't a thing, but I know PSN purchases didn't charge me for tax either (like old school Amazon).
Does Black Friday have a no tax thing? Or are codes/digital goods non-taxable?
Should've specified that you still need a fake US address. Other people from different countries were doing this. You might also need a US PSN account.

So Amazon's will be going live at 12am Pacific correct?
Nope, that is what I did...Walked in, gave my $30 cash, got a penny and my PS+ card back and came back home.
There was a line of twenty people out front at midnight, however, after they announced that they sold the three PS4's in stock that line dropped to six and it was pretty easy after that.
Either shortly after midnight PST or at some random hour tomorrow. The NA Store has often had trouble delivery midnight items.
Straight to your account. The PS Store does not offer gifting.

With all the Amazon deals going up, you should make a new thread for it.

I've been hearing from some people they do and for others they don't. As far as I personally know, Canadian accounts should work, but somebody from Canada might give a more concrete answer.

Welp, I think we can safely say Gamestop's done.
I don't see any way on Sony's or Amazon's site to buy 2 years in the same transaction, which is weird because the deal states you can only buy 2 of them per order.
