Got my vita launch day, I recall applying for the settlement and haven't gotten shit since. I don't think I'll get anything, but I got good value out of my Vita, even bought a 2000 lol. Cant be too bummed if I don't get a voucher.

For people wondering what this is, it is from a case against Sony alleging false advertising with the PS Vita's launch advertising campaign. It definitely could be done online, as I never mailed anything in and got the $25 PSN credit as well.

Hmm...was there something I would have filled out at some point to get this. Not sure when I got my Vita either but I've had it for years.

So how long will we have to wait for the claim form about getting those free months of PS+ for not partaking in the Welcome Back program & such? I was getting about 6 months worth because I qualified for something else as well.

Edit: Yeah, this settlement. I got 3 months of PS+, then another 3 months because I didn't get any of the free games back in 2011 from the Welcome Back program. Wonder when we'll hear about that.
 
I did it but I don't remember if I chose the PSN credit or the check. I was just thinking about this too a few days ago.


Wait what how do you get this? I would have loved to have gotten some free money...

I was going to write out an explanation but I'll just quote the e-mail we got in early April.

Accordingly, we are pleased to offer you the opportunity to receive a check for $25 (or a $25 credit on your PSN account). Alternatively, you are eligible to receive a merchandise voucher that you can use to select from a list of merchandise, video games and/or services.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Nice I got mine!
