i tried to cancel an auto-renew for one year that i turned off, but for some reason wasnt anymore. I called them the same day it happened, and they gave me such a hard time that i had to keep it even if i wasnt using ps4 anymore.
This guy is stuck with this.

This comes with other concerns, though.
If you keep entering wrong passwords rapidly, your account will be locked. That takes a long phone call to Sony support to undo.

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
Yup, accidentally deleted ESO from my PS4 this way, after download being 95% finished...

This is all CAP!
What was he doing? Spamming the X button the entire game? lol

How the heck 3 months is 33$?
when 12 months is maybe twice of that?
well, lesson learnt to him I guess.
these 3 month subs are just madness, why ever buy it when 12 is 45-60€ and probably same on dollars?
I usually buy 2-3 years when I see it around 40€ for 12 months, once I bought 4 years I think.

Woof on the 3 months. I bought 6 more years when it was 30 dollars. Thanks Wario

That's why I have a separate Bluetooth Xbox One controller just for my PC and it's only paired to the PC.

How does he know he'll be alive in 11 years? That's like old people buying green bananas: it's a waste.

It's cheaper than viagra.

That would've actually been worse, much worse. Instead of spending the $1,000 he would've ended up at almost $2000 if the charges were each of $60 instead of $33.

Sony will claim he knew what he was doing. The purchaser must have heard the ps4 fan, he couldn't be that deaf.
Sony would easily win that court battle. How many PS4 owners with jet engines are there as witnesses?

I do the same, but I also happen to have change in the psn wallet sometimes. Still, the options is there, free stuff don't ask for password, so it's useful.

DS4 is actually a really good PC controller though, has great gyro functionality that steam make can use of.

Probably drunk or high.

So logistically had he just purchased a membership and the cursor was still on the buying page or something, or did he manage a series of random controller presses that led him to the page?

No wonder why Jim was smiling the whole time during this morning's zoom meeting.

what I don't get why/how did he not notice that his controller was having no response ? and just continued to hit x ? for like 50 PSN purchases ? which take a few seconds to load every page. So this guy was just on his controller hammering x for something like 15 minutes ?

It's cuz you are getting a response from your controller. While you are playing the PC game, there is no indication that the controller is simultaneously sending input to both your PC and your PS4.

Every time I buy something I get a text on my phone with a number I have to put in to complete the purchase.

I clearly remember something similar happening at the beginning of the generation. People (yes, apparently multiple people) had their PS3 controller connected via USB to PS4 and sending inputs wirelessly to the PS3. Bunch of people ended up involuntarily buying the latest FIFA game on their PS3s, if we are to believe the story
EDIT: it was actually the other way around, here’s the story:
People accidentally buy stuff on PS4, Sony does not offer refunds.
