The new (and mod approved) Sony RLS thread

[fuss]

Late last year there was a topic for the Sony RLS but it was taken away for good reason - abuse of the system by non-retail employees. Since then the RLS has stepped up and fixed the loopholes, and because of that we have approval to re-start the RLS topic. Please do not try to take advantage of the system and ruin it for everybody here who is a legit user of the site (it will not work anyway). Talk of abuse will not be tolerated in any way.

Where can I find the RLS?
rls.us.playstation.com

What is the RLS?
The RLS stands for Retail Loyalty Site. It is where employees of certain retail establishments can learn about the Playstation family of products by reading and taking quizzes to earn points to get prizes.

Do I have to be a retail employee to get this stuff?
YES. You now must provide proof of employment PRIOR to getting any items sent to you from the RLS. There is no more sneaking in and getting free stuff before you are found out. If you do not provide proof of employment you will not get anything.


Congratulations! You are registered on the PlayStation® Retail Loyalty Site.
You can access advanced details and behind-the-scenes information about PlayStation products and earn points by learning and demonstrating your PlayStation knowledge. In order to redeem points for valuable items in the catalog and to be included in quarterly sweepstakes drawings, you must verify your employment with a qualified retail employer. You can verify your employment now or wait and complete your verification later.
Please allow 2-3 weeks for verification approval. You will be notified via email as soon your verification has been processed.

How do I know if I am verified, and how can I get verified?
When you sign up you are by default unverified. On the top right of the screen you will see where it says "Welcome (your name)". Under that it says STATUS: and will say either verified or unverified. Click on that and it will tell you what you need to do to get verified.

So say I have a job with a place like Best Buy now and I quit - can I still get this stuff?
No, if you are no longer an employee of an approved retail chain you are no longer eligible for the program. Sony does check on its own - a friend of mine quit in early December and by the end of December his account was deleted. There is also a link inside the RLS to terminate your account once you are no longer eligible.

Sounds great! How many of these quizzes can I take per day?
There is no limit as to how many quizzes you can take in a day. I suggest doing the oldest quizzes first before they are taken down.

How do I get teh good stuff and new games a few days after they come out?
You have to reach Advocate status first, this is how you do it:
Do you visit the RLS monthly, weekly, or even more often to see what's new with PlayStation® and sharpen your selling skills? Then you're a RLS Advocate! Read on to find out more.

Q: What is a RLS Advocate?
A: RLS Advocates are RLS members who have visited the site at least once each month for the last six months. We created this title to recognize our most die-hard members for their commitment to ongoing training.

Q: What are the perks of being a RLS Advocate?
A: We are in the process of creating a set of exclusive benefits for RLS Advocates. Future benefits may include:

Exclusive Rewards Catalog items
Point Accelerators: Earn up to 10% extra points for each training module you take.
Invitations to PlayStation® Home events
Invitations to events in your area

Q: How do I know if I have reached RLS Advocate status?
A: You will see the "Advocate" status next to your training stats at the top right of the RLS.

Q: How do I maintain my RLS Advocate status?
A: Just make sure to log in at least once per month to maintain your title.


We have not seen any "Playstation Home Events" or "events in your area" yet.

Whats the best way to communicate with the RLS?
This is up for debate, as sometimes one way works great and the other sucks - other times it is switched and sometimes there is no good way. You can contact them thru the site directly, and they do have a Twitter account:
http://twitter.com/PlayStation_RLS
They do announce when items are put up on the Twitter account, so it would be a good idea to follow them.

Now that Sony has these checks built into the RLS program, it should be one that can be discussed on CAG without concern of abuse.

[Warner1281]

I just saw that they are changing the system myself. Sucks that they are charging $10 per item, but I'm pretty sure 360 has it set up that way and things work well over there, from what I hear. Any chance they'll add anything new between now and the update? I have points, but I'd hate to spend them only to see something new and wonderful pop up and no points left to get it.

Also, I don't check the site very often, but do they have a regular time/day that they update the site with new stuff for order?

[chimpian]

thats really cool.

i bet they put up some bigger stuff too, or maybe just more of it, IE dual shcok 3 controllers that stay in stock, etc

have fun RLS members

[lilredvampy]

maybe the company i work for will be add pls playstation add wal-mart :)

[wcraigw]

It's funny how the Microsoft retail site used to be great and the sony one used to be awful and then it did a total flip. Now that MS changed their site it's better but it sure is annoying how you have to "rank up" and crap. I don't mind paying $10 for a product, actually I'll gladly do it if it means things are in stock for once.

The question now is do I want to take a ton of tests before Feb and stock up points or just wait for the new site...hrm.

I would wait for the new site, I am still a little skeptical that the points will roll over.

I hate the new charge but it is normal for the industry. And getting a game for 1/3 of the price I Can't complain about. Either way, I am gald it can't be abused any more.

And they usually do updates on Thursday, but they didn't yesterday so it really doesn't bode well that they will have any updates.

[fuss]

Did anybody else win the Mortorstorm contest? I got an email with the title "MotorStorm Pacific Rift Grand Prize Winner Notification" and for a second I thought it was the quarterly sweepstakes. I really thought I had won a new PS3 and whatever else they had as the grand prize. Oh well - a free hat is a free hat LOL.

What have you got recently? Singstar Vol 2 just showed up at my door today and in the last few weeks I got 2 Dualshock 3 controllers and SOCOM. I am surprised how quick some of the games have gone up recently like SOCOM an the PSP Secret Agent Clank.

About the change, I have mixed feelings. I loved getting this stuff 100% free, but fully understand the need to charge something for it. I am ok with $10 - its better than saving a few bucks on employee discount. But I will miss the free days. Now they need to have a better selection and much better in-stock levels.

One thing I would love to see is PSN credit and/or games. These should be free (no need for shipping or any processing or any manufacturing costs). For a short time they had PAIN up on the rewards, but for some reason they took that section away. I would love for this to return and be *huge*.

Also I would like to see systems up on the site. Sony does have a generic rewards site up ( http://www.sonyrewards.com/ ) that has systems on it, so why not the RLS? Make it some crazy amount of points but at least have them up. Many retail employees can't swing $400 for a PS3 (plus I would not mind a second PSP or even a second PS3).

[TctclMvPhase]

Is the SOCOM the edition with the headset?
I was hesitating ordering it, since I will probably not play the actual game.

[cochesecochese]

Is there a list of which stores are a part of this program?

[Viperx116]

Any idea if games will require less points after the transition?

[fuss]

Is the SOCOM the edition with the headset?

Yes it is - so it is a great pickup for both the game and the headset. The headset is a good one - kinda large but still god quality.

[lilredvampy]

Is there a list of which stores are a part of this program?


yes there is a list but its in like the faq or the rules i cant remember just shift+f when you get to either and search for what place you work at is my suggestion

[method47]

Doesn't look like its in Canada.

[Viperx116]

Almost the entire the PS3 library is gone now.

[neocisco]

The PS3 games were just slashed to 3 titles. I have a metric ton of points to use and no games have been added for over a month now.

They had a small update not too long ago - I was able to get Singstar vol2 about 2 weeks ago and a DS3 not too long before that. I would assume they left those games they did leaveup up because they plan on restocking them soon.. just a guess. But if you have lots of points be sure to get that single-sign on so you do not get your points taken.

I did.. but I am still skeptical that all my points are going to rollover. I wish I could use them before the new site. :cry:

[fuss]

I wonder how soon the CC employees will be removed from the program.

[neocisco]

I wonder how soon the CC employees will be removed from the program.

SSSSHHHHH. I don't mind being prevented from earning anymore points but it would an ass move to not be allowed to use my remaining points, especially since they've pulled nearly everything from the site and most likely won't be adding anything until 2.0 starts.

[Viperx116]

Ratchet for PS3 is up. Hurry before it's gone.

[neocisco]

Well, they did it. They shut down all CC accounts. I had over 13K points left with nothing to get for more than 2 months. I guess the L in RLS is just a one way street. Sony can suck it.

Ouch! I was thinkng they would have waited for the stores to shut down. I know CC no longer owns CC, but still. Sorry to hear that man

dude thats terrible..... I would however wouldn't have sat on 12k knowing this could happen.... the new site better have new items....., I wish they would post what the items were gonna be... cause if it's just the same stuff and we have to pay $10 now then I'm gonna be pissed off...:bomb:

[Warner1281]

I think they're holding off on putting anything new up until after the change. So i'm sure on day 1 or 2 of the change you'll see a bunch of new items up for grabs.

[vgmben]

well if they are gonna charge $10 starting feb 1st(tomarrow) with the new catalog, I would believe it would have new stuff in it..... otherwise..I'm gonnna be pissed....

[fuss]

Just a reminder the "new" RLS is set to launch on Wed. Who knows if it will be packed with games or not - but its worth a look.

Something new I noticed when I logged in today there is a new box that says:

YOUR EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION IS SET TO
EXPIRE IN (number) DAYS
For more details and to verify your employment, click herehttp://rls.us.playstation.com/images/Elements/Verification_BannerText.jpg (http://rls.us.playstation.com/Main/EmploymentVerification.aspx)

Great to see that they not only check you before you get anything, but makes you re-confirm.

Also - if anybody here works at Best Buy shoot me a PM.

[edson13]

does anyone know the approved retailers? I work part time for apple, we sell sony products. Would I be able to sign up for this?

[fuss]

Apple is not an approved retailer. It is places like Target, Sony Store, Gamestop, Best Buy, etc.

Looks like no re-launch today... or this month. When I log in I get a page that says that they will be back in May 2009. I hate to take anything as real with today being April 1st. but it did say this before:

The RLS will be relaunching in April of 2009
Guess not. :bomb:

[finsfan0210]

they are just being lazy

[xsouthparkx]

Huh, I've never heard of this. I used to work at Best Buy, but not anymore. What with the economy and all. :(

But I just whore myself on the corner of my block nowadays. Surprisingly, I do pretty well. I let people snort coke out of my ass...

[H.Cornerstone]

Ahhh, and in typical Sony fashion its delayed until May.... Ohh well. Not like they had anything good on there anyways. :)

[limelight022]

Cant wait for the relaunch, this thread reminded me about it, now i have to wait another month though. :(

[Likewise]

Man I was so excited for the new launch of RLS. I go to the site May 1st and nothing. I've since checked it daily with no success. To be fair it is now only the 6th but we've already been delayed long enough. Suppose it's back to Microsoft's Expert Zone.

I just hope they don't do the whole "leveling up" aspect that ExpertZone has.

[Warner1281]

Yeah, I've been checking daily as well with no luck. Still says We'll be back in May. :cry:

[Likewise]

And it now shows "We will be back in June 2009!"

Come on Sony, I can only keep my retail loyalty up for so long.

[Warner1281]

lol, I didn't even notice that.

[fuss]

According to an email they are re-launching the 2nd of June. They really need to have new games like Killzone up and stocked bigtime. At least the new EA site for BBY employees has been keeping me busy in the downtime. If you work at BBY and want info on the EA site shoot me a PM, I will be happy to refer you ;)

[finsfan0210]

hopefully when it relaunchs good stuff is on their considering you pay $10 per item now unless they change that.

[Likewise]

Yea I just got that email too. For anyone who hasn't gotten the email, this is what it said:

I'm interested in seeing what they could possibly be doing with auctions. I can't wait because the rls site is how I got most of my PS3 games, lol.

[fuss]

The new site is up and running. Looks nice - pretty much a flashed out version of the old site. Looks like you have a time limit on the learnings - have not taken one yet but it looks like you do. I do not see the forums they were talking about. The daily quiz is gone and there is nothing in the rewards section. But I did get my 2,000 bonus points for signing in.

[Viperx116]

"The new Rewards catalog is scheduled to launch in July 2009."

Dammit!

[limelight022]

If youre taking a quiz and miss one question, you have to retake the entire quiz over again. No longer will they let you just go back through to the ones you missed and be done. Damn.

[js1]

It's weird, on the old site the store I work for was not part of the program. On the new site it let me sign in and it gave me 2000 points, but it says status:not verified and store: error portal. So I wonder if I can even use the site?

[Likewise]

No prizes until July 2009. That sucks, at least when I logged in, my points carried over to the new site and I'm still verified. So I have to wait to drop my 9000+ points.

The auction sounds like it's gonna be awesome. Quarterly auctions for unique items! Now I have to decide if I want to go after all of the games again or try and win these unique items.

[fuss]

Looking thru the FAQ I found this:

How many Training Modules can I take per day?
Unlimited.

[Warner1281]

Noticed a blurb on there that they plan to reverify all accounts every 6 months. Sounds good to me. Get rid of all the non-eligible people that sneak their way on there. OTOH, it's going to be a pain resubmitting paystubs everytime they want to see if I'm still employed.

[Likewise]

Just by going through the training modules, I'm hoping for some of the new game rewards to be Killzone 2, MLB The Show 09, Little Big Planet, and maybe even Infamous.

[fuss]

Just by going through the training modules, I'm hoping for some of the new game rewards to be Killzone 2, MLB The Show 09, Little Big Planet, and maybe even Infamous.

I would be shocked if LBP was not on it at the reward relaunch. Its been out a good amount of time now and really should be up. For the other games - I hope they add them faster now. I want to see Killzone and Motorstorm up - heck even inFAMOUS should be up. It would be nice if we could get the games when they are new and people are asking about them - I think it would help us sell them better :) I know on the old site they added some PSP games up really quick for some strange reason towards the end of the old site.

And systems REALLY need to be up as a reward. I got over 10k points burning a hole in my pocket.

Oh, did anybody else win the contest on the old site just before it closed? It was you took a training on some games and had the chance to win them. I won MLB09 and Locoroco 2. There was one other game up on the contest, but I forgot what it was. I got the games inthe mail about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

[finsfan0210]

i won locoroco 2

[Likewise]

Well, I've finished all of the modules. Now I guess I have to wait until next month. Hopefully the reward lineup won't be disappointing.

[Likewise]

Sweet! Just so you guys know, they added more modules to the site.

[djshot]

I feel as though Sony drops the ball every time they announce a date for anything. The new "auctions" were suppose to be up on Tuesday at 10am -- and it is now Wednesday and nothing. I can only keep raising my points so high that I won't even care anymore.

Back to getting stuff from the MS site instead -- they need new stuff on there rewards board other than t-shirts lol:bouncy:

[fuss]

What do you think about the auctions? I persoanlly think they are a rip-off. Normal stuff they had up before like a DS3 is going for a crazy amout of points.

What I think sucks is that if you want a DS3, Blu-ray remote, etc this is the only way for you to get them - when the rewards go up it will only be games... nothing else. I am happy I got all my DS3s before the old site went down.....

I think things are going for inflated amounts of points because people have nothing else to spend the points on at the moment. Once the games go up, things should (hopefully) level out.

[Snake2715]

Ohh have to have the wife sign up for this..

[reiji]

I'm a bit pissed about this! During the 5 years that I worked at Blockbuster, I was never eligible for this. Now that I quit working there, Blockbuster becomes an eligible retailer... :bomb:

[Viperx116]

Well it's the 13th and still no launch.

[New Breed]

i wish i could say i was surprised by the non-launch but rls is making a habit of putting up false dates.

[finsfan0210]

it will be the 14th and it will still say its launching on the 13th

[Viperx116]

It's now live, but I'm pretty disappointed in the selection.

[finsfan0210]

yep shitty selection but i ordered LBP

[finsfan0210]

LBP is already out of stock

[fuss]

I was out of town yesterday - no Killzone? Motorstorm PR? Resistance 2?

[Viperx116]

I was out of town yesterday - no Killzone? Motorstorm PR? Resistance 2?

There's R2; forgot if they have Motorstorm or not.

[H.Cornerstone]

I think they just have the First motorstorm.

[Hybrid5006]

How do people get so many points on there.... if you do all the quizzes it'll bring you to like 4000 points maybe, yet I see people with tens of thousands of points.

[Viperx116]

Some people have had their accounts for years and just accumulated all the points.

Hope they fix the address problem soon, so I can order LBP before they're all gone.

[Viperx116]

They updated the list. It now has Killzone 2 -- hell yeah!

[fuss]

KZ2 must be sold out already.... but Motorstorm PR is on there now.

[finsfan0210]

selection is better now but LBP and KZ are gone. I ordered LBP and Motorstorm PR

[fuss]

selection is better now but LBP and KZ are gone. I ordered LBP and Motorstorm PR

it was strange popping out the credit card for the order.... I wonder if I am going to be a bit more picky now that I am paying $10 a pop. Ya, I know it sounds REALLY cheap... but if R2 was free I would get it in a heartbeat.. for $10 I dunno....

I just wish EA would update thier site.. I am sitting on 80,000+ points with nothing to get :bomb: They better put Madden and Fight Night up real quick.

[Cage017]

I really don't like the idea that you have to send them a copy of your paycheck to verify employment. Isn't there another way they can do this?

-RLS newbie

[finsfan0210]

no just black out any personal info just as long as they can see your name and store

[Likewise]

I would have already had a copy of Killzone 2, MLB 09 the Show, Resistance 2, LBP, and inFamous if I could update my damn address. Had them all in my cart and find out that my address isn't showing up on the rls site. And now us.playstation.com won't load up to let me update my shipping info.

Anybody else not able to access us.playstation.com?

I almost want to say its a waste of time at this point... I signed people up in April and they *just* got approved. The rewards have never been updated as long as I have been a member and customer service is not happening. They were really good before, now its like nobody works there. And its a shame, the site could be great. You do have to work at Best Buy and they call your store and talk to your GM to verify you work there.

Anyway - enough about them.. I know I was the one who brought it up and I am slapping myself on the hand right now... sorry bout that.


Back to the RLS - how long can you keep stuff in your cart? Do you still have those games in your cart Likewise?

And they put a big Best Buy logo on my homepage now... Does anybody else have a banner with thier store logo on it?

And I just noticed I am on the all-time point leaders list... wheeee :applause:

Yea, I don't work at Best Buy so I may as well not bother with the EA site.

As for the cart, I was hoping to keep those games in my cart until I got everything taken care of with the address, but they seemed to have fixed that little glitch from the old rls site. It seems that the items will stay in your cart until they run out of them. I had inFamous, LBP, Resistance 2, and more that were systematically removed from my cart as they were removed from the prize catalog.

And yea, when logged into the RLS site it now has a GameStop banner around my login information.

Now if I could only figure out why I can't access http://www.us.playstation.com/MyAccount to update my address. Is anybody else having trouble accessing us.playstation.com. I just keep getting 'site timed out' errors.

[omgroffles]

I'm new with RLS. Everyone's talking about KZ2 and LBP but looks like those are sold out since I don't see them anymore. Do they come back after a while, and usually how long does it take?

[Slayzz]

They do comes back but we don't know how long it takes.

also Infamous is back if anyone is waiting for it.

[fuss]

It as great on the old site for timing the re-stocks. For a good amount of time it was on Thursday AM about 11ish for the looongest time. Ah those were the days! And it was on average every 2 weeks. Now its random.

And thanks for the heads up on the inFAMOUS - just picked it up. And R2 is up also, it was hard to hold off on that. If it was free I would have got it lol.

I have been a member since late 2005 and I am in the 20s for the all-time point leaders list. I have no idea if I was on the list before the CC employee dump.

[finsfan0210]

just got LBP and Motorstorm PR in the mail today

anybody have an idea of just how random re-stocking is? :D
my first time on RLS was a week ago and infamous wasn't there. checked back today but it was gone again, i must've missed it. i'm holding off on R2 as well. it's pretty tempting but i guess i'll save my points for when something else comes along.

btw anybody know the last time they saw pacific rift? just trying to get a feel for the new re-stocking pattern, if any.

I would say its too soon to see how random this is, if it is random.... this thread will help us figure out if there is a pattern.

As for motorstorm PR - I ordered it on 8/15/2009 and it was up for a few days after I got it.

And I am pretty sure yesterday was the first restock of inFAMOUS and R2 since day one. And has LBP come back at all yet?

[Slayzz]

I just got Socom confrontation and its not the bundle version with the headset. Damn that sucks, I just wanted the headset. I ordered because I remember back then it was the bundle version.

i was gonna get Socom also buti emailed support and they told me that it wasn't the bundle

[fuss]

Suxks about SOCOM not having the headset, it was how I got the headset on the old site.

I just got Motorstorm PR in the mail today - turnaround was just under 2 weeks. And they are using USPS now and not UPS like they did before.

[fuss]

heads up - restock of Killzone 2 and LittleBigPlanet.

run!

[omgroffles]

Also MotorStorm Pacific Rift

[omgroffles]

Just got Pacific Rift and Killzone 2 in the mail two days ago, only took about a week to arrive after ordering!

Just ordered Infamous. Btw LBP is still up and Resistance 2 just came back.

I'm losing points fast.

[fuss]

[doubledown]

Just curious....my buddy can get into this, but he was debating whether to go through all the quizzes. He asked me when do new games typically get added to the site? Such as Uncharted 2. He wants to make it worth his while....I told him it was cheap games, but he has most of the PS3 games.

[fuss]

games are now added to the site 90 days after they come out in stores. No idea if that is different than before or not.

I also learned that if you get 100% on the first try you get bonus points. So give it that extra effort.

[doubledown]

Thanks....I suppose 90 days is "ok". I will pass on the information to him. He's the person that likes things now though....oh well.

[oasisboy]

Infamous is back... I ordered 1. Now, I am just waiting for Motorstorm Arctic and Grand Turismo for PSP...

[doubledown]

My buddy finally signed up....maybe he will throw something my way for me pointing this out. I know he said Infamous was up and he got that. So, 90 days....that would make Uncharted 2 available....when?

[fuss]

pretty cool...

inFamous and LBP: GOTY are up right now if anyone is interested!

Anyone think that Heavy Rain will be offered 90 days after release? I'm debating whether to pre-order the game or not. I'm happy to wait 90 days if I can get it through RLS.

[fuss]

LBP for the PSP hase been up for a bit now.. But no GOW collection yet. I thought they came out the same day?? At any rate GOW collection shoudl be up anytime now.

Could someone please hook me up with these 2 Home codes, or atleast just the male version??? Anyone want to help me out??? Im a huge Home fan but dont work at a retail for Sony etc.

[RedLine316]

My buddy I work with got me to sign up a few days ago. I already have around 20,000 points.

I was pretty dissapointed when I saw the store was down. Its been down for a few days now. Anybody know how long these maintenace periods normally take. I tried asking RLS support but all i got was:
We are currently working on the issue but do not have a set or estimated time as to when the site will be back up. We hope to get it back up soon.

When I tried adding an item to my cart I just got a little white box that said ALERT in red letters. You should be able to get 20,000 easy if you have done them all. Have you completed the two worth 500 under selling? I still have a couple tests left before I will have completed them all and I have around 23,000 now. The only other problem I had was this morning when I tried to log in it kept telling me the link was broken. The issue has since went away. I haven't gotten an authentification errors though.

[georox]

Same question as above person, if anyone has the Home codes who doesn't use Home, I would gladly take a set. :)

[RedLine316]

I finished my final test and got on this morning and saw I'm ranked 3rd. :D

I really want to spend all my points now. Too bad the store is still down. Does anyone have any info on when it may be back up or how long these periods of maintenance normally last??

No, we still run STEALTH.

ranked 3rd all-time or 3rd for the year? Either way - congrats. I am getting lazy big time on doing the quizzes and have just slipped out of the top 10 for all-time point leaders. But I have about 60 quizzes I need to get off my rear and do still.

As for how long this down time will be - who knows, this is the first time since the re-launch it has been down. And I do not recall it going down on the old site.

NO they got me! A field rep confirmed that I wasn't employed there... However my friend may give me his account since he never uses it, may...

3rd for this year. The all time leader has like 100,00 or something like that. It's pretty ridiculous. I'm hoping its just down for a week or two. Maybe there waiting to put up MLB 10 and Uncharted 2? That would be pretty cool. I just got the MLB 10 demo set up a few days ago. That game looks amazing. I'll probably get it if it shows up on RLS and I'm not even a big baseball fan.

[halfbent]

Uncharted 2 has been up several times; I snagged it when it was up a few weeks ago. It goes up then stock depletes, and it's gone for a bit, it should come back up. LBP is another game that has been doing the same thing. Snagged the regular version initally and then again when they put the GotY version up.

[tinyandi]

Yeah a couple days ago I got that everytime I tried to log in, it would load then a google page popped up and said the link was broken. It was down for about 12 hours then worked fine again.

EDIT: I just went there a few minutes ago and got the message you were talking about. The page i got was different. You're right now it says it doesn't exist. I hope they get this fixed soon. I'm running out of games to play and would like to get about six new ones for the price of one.

Hmmm.. Maybe White Knight Chronicles and MAG. It seems a little early for them to be on, but I can't think of any other things that they would need to update and put in the store. Unless there going to bring hardware back :D

Seems too early for wkc and mag. Maybe restock LBP and UC2 and add GOW collection. If they add the Show 2010 i'd be so happy.

I don't see why it would take this long just to restock a game or two. My friend said they used to update the store every Thursday and it was only down for a day or so. The store has been down for almost a week now so I'm thinking it's more than just restocking a few titles. I could be wrong though.

It could be due to an ordering issue with their system as I had order a couple of games and my credit card was denied. Had to do it several time for it to go through recently.

Ya the GOW collection needs to go up soon... I was really wanting to push thru 1 & 2 on the PS3 before hitting up part 3 which I am buying the UC for on day 1. Looks like that is not going to happen - oh well I will survive lol.

The RLS does have a budget to work with, they just can't throw up countless games. But trust me, it is 1000 times better now than how it was. Your friend was only partly correct when they said they updated Thursdays... it was not even close to every Thursday, it could go many weeks without a restock - and then when the restock happened they were out of stock in minutes. The only thing I liked about the old site more was they had acessories and other random stuff.. I got all my controllers thru the RLS for 4,000 points (and no $10) back then. But even with that, I would take the new RLS over the old RLS anyday.

[hqn101]

Yea too many people were abusing the old system. I like the new one that requires verification and $10 is still better that what I would've of paid. They need to bring back the PSP for $50 that they had once. It seems that RLS is down again, or it seems to be the entire playstation networks.

[tinyandi]

The site is back up but the catalog is still down for maintenance.

[RedLine316]

Hello all,

I'll just cut to the chase here, How has your experience been concerning trading in games you bought from the site?

I only ask because of the hole that is drilled through the upc. There were a couple of ps2 games I traded a while back, but the holes on these ps3 games are a bit more obvious.

[RedLine316]

That's weird when I emailed there support last week about the issue they told me to use firefox instead of IE.

I only ask because they are listed on my friends account and she works at Target and has taken all those quizzes. I work at Best Buy and do not see them in my list of quizzes I can take. I wonder if there are more like this - I only noticed these three on a quick glance.

[WormFOODx]

Can anyone even get to RLS anymore? I'm getting directed to a page not found.

Although the catalog is down, I'm noticing new games up. For example, I'm seeing Patapon 2 for the PSP. Anyone seen that before? There's also new GOWIII shirts.

[hqn101]

Hmm i just noticed interesting thats new for today and they got LBP and Uncharted 2 in stock.

When you order something it disappears from the catalog, I wish EA retail site has good games like this. I bought the GOW shirt needs to come right meow. How long does it take for an item to come in now a days like 4 weeks.

[Madness09]

what do you all think is the likelihood that the site will add new games to the catalog?

because i've got 6000 points to spend and Uncharted 2 and Infamous look mighty good...

i can't decide if i should hold out in hopes of newer games :cry:

GOW collection should be up soon... I hope lol.

Had a visit from my RLS rep today, be sure to ask your rep for a fast point card - thats an easy 500 points for you. He also gave me a code for the POTC DLC for LBP.. no idea if it is just for the costumes or level packs - or both. My PS3 took a crap on me yesterday so I can't enter the code.

[hqn101]

With me when the RLS game comes in stock i trade the retail copy into amazon and keep the ones from the catalog.

I just noticed the shirts don't have like a small or XS would like to order one for my gf. Whats up with that is every loyalty member either L or XL.

[opterasis]

I really wish they would add Walmart to the list.

[hqn101]

I really wish they would add Walmart to the list.

I think walmart has a policy with reward sites not allowing their members to be a part of them.

Edit-I just noticed uncharted 2 which I already ordered has reappear on the catalog along with some games I've already gotten. Is this a new policy which allows you to buy more than one copy.

Are the Fast Point card numbers unique? We don't have a Rep in this area so we never get a chance at the extra points. I know the old program they were the same number. If that is the case could someone post one or PM me? Thanks!

Cards have always been a unique code as far as I can recall.... if they were not before they are now.


But after a few days at pushing thru all the quizzes I had not done and getting 100% on most of them (gets you bonus points) I am now #1 on the all time leader board with 103111 all-time points and currently 54156 points in the account. .

I meant the training code not Fast Points. Each rep had there own code so anyone could use it. i think you could enter it every 3 or 6 months. You are correct about the Fast Points being unique.

[waunel]

There's a new contest up guys:



I don't see all the modules required up but I'm sure they'll be posted up soon. Good luck!


look again

[Pato7]

There's an interesting poll posted.
Would you be interested in the availability of an enhanced catalog with more options based on your level of participation within the RLS site?
Cards have always been a unique code as far as I can recall.... if they were not before they are now.


But after a few days at pushing thru all the quizzes I had not done and getting 100% on most of them (gets you bonus points) I am now #1 on the all time leader board with 103111 all-time points and currently 54156 points in the account. . Sorry about that Carlos from Gamestop from Utica, MI :booty:
Congrats. How did you get the 11 point though?

Order Summary
Total Points Deducted from RLS Account: 3,000
Total Shipping Fee Paid: $10.00

Items Ordered:


PS3 God of War®: Collection

Hurry on over, GOW collection is now up.

[halfbent]

Got one ordered, thanks for the heads up!

[hqn101]

3000 points man, I'm low on points but good to see its up along with tools of destruction being back in stock

[WormFOODx]

I have a hard time ordering something for 3000 pts and $10 that is $22.50 used at Gamestop. I'm looking at you God of War Collection.

[Pato7]

Me too, I'd rather save that 3000 points in three months time. If it was 1000 points like LBP I would have been sold.

[tinyandi]

Me three. I was considering getting it, but it costs 3000 points, and 3000 points are not easy to come by. 3000 points is how much they charge for a $60 game, not a $20 game. I rather save them up for when Heavy Rain, ::crosses fingers::, comes out.

Most likely May or June, along with WKC, and MAG. Maybe they will do a revamp of the catalog with that poll they are conducting.

I'm really hoping they add PSN cards or more free PSN games

[Pato7]

Amen to that.

RLS has a restock on the God of War Collection. I still think paying $10 and 3000 points is a rip off, but for those that don't, there ya go.

I am eagerly awaiting either MLB The Show '10 or Heavy Rain to pop up, but I'm sure that will be a couple of months.

[hqn101]

I'm waiting for some games to go GH so they reduce points to 2000.

[hqn101]

Can you trade rls games on goozex, i know theres an option for disc only but i think you get less points.

[fuss]

2 new PSP quizzes up for those of you who are maxed out on the quizzes.

[WormFOODx]

Killzone 2 Greatest Hits and Resistance 2 Greatest Hits is now up on RLS for 2000 points.

[waunel]

Killzone 2 Greatest Hits and Resistance 2 Greatest Hits is now up on RLS for 2000 points.

Yeah also LBP GOTY and GOW Co

[hqn101]

Lets just hope its not the red box shipped.

[fuss]

I think if you get it now you have a chance of it not being the redbox version.... I need to get R2 within the next week.

[tinyandi]

PS3 BUZZ!™ Quiz World is available now in the Rewards section. Unclear whether it includes the Buzz controllers. If anyone knows, please let us know. Also, inFamous is back in stock.

[Frosty The Batman]

White Knight Chronicles is now available. I only have 650 points though. Time to get cracking.

Thank you for the heads up! I had 6500 points burning a hole in my pocket. Placed my order. Now let's hope they put MAG and Heavy Rain up soon! These two games were released right about the same time White Knight Chronicles was released.

MAG was release a week earlier and Heavy Rain was 3 weeks later, but it's nice to see them releasing these fast.

[Frosty The Batman]

I don't do the points nearly enough. I gotta seriously get on it since I'm leaving Best Buy in a few weeks.
How long will it take before they kick me off?
I'm going to use as many points as possible before I leave as to not risk it.

[FaintDeftone]

Man I reeeaaallllyy hope they throw Heavy Rain on there soon.

I did pick up God of War collection. Good times.

[WormFOODx]

Man I reeeaaallllyy hope they throw Heavy Rain on there soon.

With that said, I should get 3000 points ready for when they actually DO put Heavy Rain on it!

[fuss]

pleeeeeeeeeease do not post the quiz answers, we need to keep this thread on the up-and-up so it can stay open.

Thanks.

[Snake2715]

I will have to get my wife back on this one day.

[Sillentassasin]

Auctions, yay haha:booty:
I'm getting all excited

You take surveys about various sony products. You get points for them, and with those points you can buy things. And now it seems they are putting up a few auctions :)

Does anyone know what the auctions will consist of?

This is just what I ordered, and I believe they are out of stock on these items... sorry :(


PS3 MotorStorm® Pacific Rift"
"PS3 UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves™"
"PS3 White Knight Chronicles"
"PS3 Heavenly Sword™"

[batman1939]

Anyone for Toys'r'us verified? I had an account back in the day with Circuit City but was closed after store closed. When I got a job with Toys'r'us they let me back in and I got to order Uncharted and inFamous. Then when I sent my paycheck stub to get reverified, they said Toys'r'us employees can't join. And have now been pending for like 3 months. I got 11,000 points just sitting there.

Ohh quizzes I was like what are surveys. Waiting for them to put up psn cards.

[WormFOODx]

I'd say the two most things I want on RLS are PSN cards or Heavy Rain. I was told Heavy Rain was a rental but I think for some quizzes and $10 it would do me well.

[xsouthparkx]

Ohh quizzes I was like what are surveys. Waiting for them to put up psn cards.
I'd like psn cards too, but would they still charge $10 an item?:-#
That's kind of a hefty shipping cost.

EDIT:
Answered my questions.
Apparently they drill a hole through the barcode, but otherwise the products are brand new.

Straight from the folks who run the RLS PSN cards ($10, $20, $50) cards will never be on the site - but we may see PSN voucher cards up for PSP games sometime soon. Thats what I am holding out for on many of these PSP games... otherwise the (few) people who have a PSPgo the site is worthless to them. I hope we do see PSN cards on the site, but do not hold your breath for them.

I wouldn't mind free psn games for the ps3 either, its online redeemable so won't have to pay for shipping.

My only thoughts around this is that MS started to carry point cards on their site, so Sony might do so just to stay compeditive.

[hqn101]

But expertzone points are so easy to get, its ridiculous if you apply to their newsletter while rls are kinda hard, for me anyway. If they do points card it will probably be half off not $10 for a $50 card, although that would be awesome.

[Shady07]

MAG is now available

[hqn101]

MAG is now available

Got it thanks now just waiting for heavy rain

[Vortextk]

Does verification normally take 2-3 weeks as they say or is that a long estimate? Will finally, FINALLY get heavenly sword for cheap. Christ I've looked forever.

[Pato7]

Mine took a couple of days. So yeah that is a long estimate.

[hqn101]

A week at max, did they finally approve blockbuster.

[Vortextk]

A week at max, did they finally approve blockbuster.

Apparently so. Though I had to make a new psn for it. My regular psn vortextk was denied like a year ago because BBV wasn't a selected retailer and when a thread for this popped up in the deals section I tried and all it did was error on me. I'm wondering if it was due to some problem with having already signed up with them before.

At this point I'm not sure which will last longer, my tolerance for the place or my location not getting closed, so I have to get whatever I want fast ;).

[xsouthparkx]

Hmm well it took me about 3 weeks to get verified. Funny thing is I didn't email them one of my paystubs.

Oh well.

Or is the paystub only requested at random?

[hqn101]

[Vortextk]

So that was like a day and a half? Verified, nice. They don't ever do hardware or accessories on the site do they? 10 dollar games sure are a good deal, but I own mostly everything they offer and I want.

Guess it's time to quiz, though I really could have already started that I suppose.

Coming soon, advocates will have new items unlocked in their rewards catalog. These items will include soft bundles, hard bundles, peripherals, and other cool stuff.
