If it wasn't for that Nvidia tech demo I'd probably have jumped at this deal. I just hope it comes to the PC sooner rather than later.
It's a good thing that there are a shit tonne of really good games out/ coming out at the moment.

End of 2018 for a PC Release probably.

It was a pricing error. Pretty sure it was supposed to be 50-60% off and they made it 80, applying the 40% regular discount twice.
Those who bought it, this is one hell of a deal so enjoy
If so, I'll contact them to have my money back on Paypal, since I bought the Premium Edition (pretty much 28 if you consider the 10 offer from Sony) just to play the season pass contents, I have no use for 38 on my PSN wallet since I rarely buy games on PSN.

Bought it on my phone but didn't launch de download yet. Am i fucked?
No, as I wrote until they revoke the license (if they do) you are ok. If you are downloading and they revoke the license, you can't access the game, if you didn't start the download yet but the license is not revoked, you have no problem.

If you finalised the purchase then it shouldn't matter if you downloaded it or not. It should forever be tied to your account (I believe).

Back online and back to full price. Doesn't appear when you search on the store though.
If it's in your download list, you should be fine. Ditto if you got a receipt email from Sony for it.
Sony usually honour pricing errors. It'd be bad PR not to, since it's not exactly our fault they made the error.
Back up to 70 on the Irish store. Gonna keep track of it. Maybe they'll do what Microsoft did and reapply the discount only to take it away again later
Damn man you sold that quick

The fact that it's a third-party game makes it more complicated though. I'm sure Sony would rather take some bad PR than potentially lose a lot of money paying off Square.

What will happen to those who got it in that price?

Nobody knows. Some think it'll be pulled and some think it won't.
I personally don't think they will. Unless it's sold for absolute nothing I think they'll honour a mistake.
But we'll find out soon I'm sure

I'm hoping it's not a lot of us because it was pretty early when the error was found.
Yeah, I also sold my physical copy after I bought the digital version. With the money I got I pre-ordered Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5. Hopefully Sony honors the mistake and doesn't force a refund.
Although, to be honest, by the time I actually get to play FFXV, I will be able to get it for ~10 again. So it's not a real big loss if they do take it back. It'll still be a bummer, though.

The pricing error was found after 2 o'clock at night in Europe. At what time did they remove the product page?
I would think not that many would've bought it when the error was found, it was quite late in the night, but was it still up in the morning?
In case of money return:
Iam wondering how big hassle & extra work it is to Sony to transfer them to back to CC.
I mean, surely Iam not the only one to contact them if they only transfer money back to my Wallet.
Handling those request will take a lot of effort from Sony staff & if things get ugly and returning to CC takes time, people might contact to consumer right council of their country. That can lead (with many weeks / months later) to EU saying bad things to Sony and I guess that would be very bad publicity.
It might be much cheaper for Sony to honour the deals (since the pricing error isn't "that" huge). Than take the risk with EU consumer rights & bad publicity.
Around 11:05 EET (09:05 GMT).

Someone at Sony gets into the office at 9:00am - "I'll just check my emails and Twitter to see what's going on this fine Wednesday morn....OH SHIITTTT GET IT OFF GET IT OFF"

My hope is this error was not too widespread and they'd just leave it be for those who bought it.
Last time this happened with the Fallout 4 Season Pass, it even made it to major outlets such as Eurogamer.
FF15 error happened in the middle of the night and got fixed before noon GMT. So it may still stay.
EDIT: Just realised that FO4 thing also happened in the end of March. What's up with PSN and March sales fuckups?

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Haha, that's exactly what I thought when I saw they'd taken it down. Lucky I snatched it last night while they were happily snoozing, blissfully unaware of the shitty morning awaitng them.
Good thing to live in Eastern European Timezone
. If there are sales anywhere in the net (like Black Friday) that start early in the morning by GMT, its easier to grab those sales from my country.YianGaruga

I'm sure they sold a rather large number of copies, the deal was already on all the big deal sites in the morning
First of all, this is the EU we're talking about, and I don't think Sony wants that kind of attention. Secondly? The more FFXV owners, the more potential Season Pass/DLC purchasers, so SE might just suck it up. I know I'm planning to buy it later in the month, but Persona 5 comes first.

Seems to be still fine for me. I have the 'download to ps4' instead of the 'put into cart' button.
At least on mobile.
I still think SE can take a good profit from this, considering the game in some countries was dirty cheap even on pre-order (Italy here, where any PS4 game is 70 on release, I grabbed FFXV for 40 on preorder from Unieuro, while Comet (? I think? Can't remember) had it for 30), that deal didn't seem a mistake, even because the Premium Edition was 38, not a very cheap price if you think about.
Also SE heavily discounts its game soon after release (just look at Hitman, it went 50% off very quickly, or Mankind Divided, which was 75% off on Gamestop for the Deluxe etc).
I edited my post. I read it wrong, my bad. Everything is still fine for now.

Sony and Square are well within their rights to revoke the licenses and refund the orders. I agree that it could lead to more season pass and DLC purchases, but possibly not enough to offset however many units they've sold at a massive 80% off.
