[DEAD!] Playstation.com deals thread (tax+s/h not included)

[chief928]

So did this work for anyone or are all canceled? What scumbags, I wanted my games!!

[Eric467]

Dammit. I would use it to pre-order GTA SA or Killzone, but neither are being sold through their store.

[slidecage]

So did this work for anyone or are all canceled? What scumbags, I wanted my games!!

everything is cancelled

[Ravaged]

That completely sucks. I was looking forward to getting ESPN 2K5, Nascar 2005 and Viewtiful Joe for over 50% off... :(. I'm very sad now... no games to look forward to.

[roguejedi5]

Barring from any other restriction they may have with the coupon. How about using it to buy some threadz? They have the Gran turismo cap for only $5.99 among some other stuff that are under $10. Or how about some old PS1 games?

[subparplasma]

I got the cancellation email, but the site still says I have my order, anyone else have that too?


[EDIT] - I just accidently fucking deleted my $10 coupon e-mail. >.<

The GT hat won't work, already tried it. I guess the price has to be at least $10.

[Scorch]

Holy crap, I think I caused sony to hand out $10,000 in coupons.

Hah!

Dood, that would only be 1000 orders. You probably cost Sony closer to $100,000. Rock on.

YEAH! STICK IT TO THE MAN! ROCK AND ROLL!

*guitar solo*

[jimbodan]

I wish they would have done this earlier, but oh well at least we get something. Too bad there doesn't appear to much worth buying, parasite 1 and 2 are backordered, star ocean second story is back ordered and they want 49.99 for the first shadow hearts!!!

Only game I saw that looked like a decent deal was final fantasy tactics for 14.99 so it would be 4.99 plus shipping after the coupon.

[slidecage]

Why is that? every coupon it says if anything is left over you lose the money right, but they never let you use it for anything less. Ebgames does the same.

[kaoticeyes]

mine got cancel :( Here is what they wrote to me:

I just got Katamari Damancy and James Bond 007:EON for 30 bucks, booyeah.....

But on topic it's too bad it looks like we wont get our Burnouts and Phantom Braves and whatnot....:(

[roguejedi5]

I just tried buying something over $10 (Socom 2 hat $12.99), but it says the coupon code doesn't work! Did anybody have that problem?

[CrimsonGeist]

OMG! Maybe this was a marketing ploy for Sony to give out 10 dollar coupons and make money on their games!!!???? What if this was planned from the beginning??? What if Scorch was a puppet of Sony????? OMFG, maybe Scorch is a secret worker for sony?????!!!!! AAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! ](*,) .....ar.................. Send spam to sony. Tell 10 of your friend s to tell 10 of their friends to spam sony!!! Fight the power!!! :spam: . Dear old friend spam.

[swick]

I got the cancellation email, but the site still says I have my order, anyone else have that too?


[EDIT] - I just accidently shaq-fuing deleted my $10 coupon e-mail. >.<
If you find anything you want on the site, just use the code WETHANKYOU.

I wonder if this will work for everyone...

[kaoticeyes]

BTW, I forgot to mention that it was Phantom Brave that got cancel on me.

[jimbodan]

F it, there is nothing on that website. I'll just wait until they list gungrave: overdose and pray they have it at the 14.99 msrp.

[slidecage]

Really they are giving u 3 bucks and change since shipping is 6 bucks on almost anything, 6 bucks shipping on a hat RIGHT

[Lord Hamm]

Holy crap, I think I caused sony to hand out $10,000 in coupons.

Hah!

And crash their site all weekend.... :twisted:

Way to go Scorch..... :roll:

[moiety]

I, too, got the $10 gift certificate, same email as kaoticeyes. Hey, 10 bucks is better than nothing, I guess!

[evilmax17]

So, any good $10 games on this site?

[Strider Turbulence]

Got the same cancellation email and $10 code. I logged in my account though and my order is still there.

[norkusa]

Goddamnit. I just returned the Gallop Racer 2004 I got from EB on pre-order last month because I thought this deal would go thru. Now I doubt I'm ever going to see another copy again.

[coolsteel]

Well I got the email, order being cancelled, but got a ten dollar coupon out of it. Currently I see the order is still processing, I figure should say cancelled within a few days.

[guardian_owl]

But as has been stated, it's basically useless. Most of their games are overpriced on the website and shipping kills the deal so in the end, I bet only a fraction of these coupons will ever be used.

[Admiral Ackbar]

yeah, this sucks. The 60% of that ten dollars will end up covering shipping. Only a four dollar savings.

[slidecage]

Yea but now we have a number, DOnt like it call and complain. Ask for free shipping or a bigger coupon the worse that can happen is they say no.

[Murcielago77]

I got the email(i just woke up from a nap) and that is f'n lame. That coupon should have included free shipping then it would be a decent coupon.

[Graystone]

cant we get them for false advertising or something those ******* sorry ***** of a ******

[guardian_owl]

yeah, this sucks. The 60% of that ten dollars will end up covering shipping. Only a four dollar savings.

And if it is a deal that is shady, that there is a chance you will be "caught" in a bad deal. I'm trying to think of what exactly you would call it... but I think you know :wink:

[Reality's Fringe]

Cancelled.....summabitch :(

[Josef]

Oh sure, they'll cancel most of the orders for mispriced titles, but they don't mind ass raping the uninformed with Monster Rancher 3 :evil:

http://storeus.playstation.com/addtocart.htm?productId=1927995&quantity=1&returnU rl=http://www.us.playstation.com/games.aspx?id=SLUS-20190

Why don't you fix that price, Sony?

Fuckers...

[evilmax17]

How much do they charge for shipping here?

[CrimsonGeist]

4 bucks. Plus TAX!!!!

[CrimsonGeist]

Time to close down the thread.

[Fizzgig]

Time to close down the board.
I'm guessing you meant "thread" and not "board".

[FriskyTanuki]

Haven't gotten the cancellation e-mail yet.

[t65will]

Tried to use the $10 coupon on Ace Combat 4 and it didn't work. Was anybody successful in using the coupon?

[CrimsonGeist]

Wow, deal of the year. Rip off of the year. I bought burnout 3 from another CAG for 35 bucks. Boo Yah! You can find some good deals for Burnout 3 on ebay. 30-40 bucks.

[alfonsosoriano]

Wow, deal of the year. Rip off of the year. I bought burnout 3 from another CAG for 35 bucks. Boo Yah!

Errrmmmm....you didn't get ripped off, they made an error. They have the right to do that.

[Alpha2]

They made an error that too many people jumped on, I bet if only half the people had caught on to it they might have honored it.

[Murcielago77]

its officially over now. I just got this email

[madmab]

My sympathies for those who actually purchased the games to play.

As for the rest.... well, I'll leave that one alone.

[CrimsonGeist]

www.ebay.com. Also, wait for eb to get it pre owned. If you use 15% off and free shipping, the game should cost $34.00

[CrimsonGeist]

when is this thread gonna close anyway?

[subparplasma]

In other news, they have all the games back in-stock and full price. :(

[smalien1]

can I use the coupon if I didn't place an order?

[Alpha2]

feel free to try, but it;s not like you;re going to find anything on the site worth using it on.

I doubt anyone is going to lock the thread, the title already lists it as a dead deal so the discussion can continue for what ever reason.

[RacinReaver]

Well, this is freaking confusing. I got three e-mails saying that my order had been cancelled. When I go to check up on the status of my order, I get four separate charges under the Payment Information area (one for each game individually, then one for the total). Then, at the bottom of the page where the final total is after shipping has been calculated, it says this: Amount Charged to Credit Card: $62.29 Amount Charged to Credit Card: $62.29 Amount Charged to Credit Card: $62.29 Amount Charged to Credit Card: $62.29

Still no activity on my card at all, though.

[subparplasma]

I get an e-mail everyday telling me my order has be cancelled, yet it still says the order is processing on the website, along with saying it charged me four times.

I wish that site eternal damnation.

[LV-426RS]

Maybe they'll make another error refunding you multiple times. It was an error, it happens, get over it, it's not the end of the world.

[hosewater2]

Also everyone please alert your credit card companies to Playstation.com's fraudulent and unethical business practices. At the very least, have your credit card company hassle them a little bit.

[Levizk]

http://bbbonline.com/

Also everyone please alert your credit card companies to Playstation.com's fraudulent and unethical business practices. At the very least, have your credit card company hassle them a little bit.

Outside of taking the charges off your card your credit card company isn't going to care what you say about Playstation.com. As for turning them over to the bbb i'm not sure what that'll do either. People have tried this countless times in the past with amazon.com, and amazon just busts out their little legal document they keep on hand for such purposes. Plus Sony will just tell the bbb they're giving the 10 dollar coupons for compensation and that'll be that.

[LV-426RS]

Read their policies and as I stated above... get over it. They, as well as most others, have their asses covered.

From their policies page.....

[slidecage]

my credit card hasnt been charge and ordres been cancelled. I have emailed Sony and said that if my card is charged i will do a charge back i dont care if they will refund the money in 2 billing cycles. I will dispute the charges as soon as i get the bill.

If sony charges your card just dispute it

[YoshiFan1]

Same here, if I get billed I will be disputing the charges as well. For them to bill me for a cancelled order is not acceptable.

[FriskyTanuki]

Finally got my cancellation e-mail today.

[DrunkTigerWoods]

cancelled, damn. :?

[Admiral Ackbar]

I just got notice that they had credited back my card.

Anyone else have this happen?

[slidecage]

they said i was credited 2 games but i dont think they ever billed me. Im not waiting 2 billing cycles if it appears on my bill im giong to reverse the charges.

[jimbodan]

Has anyone gotten the coupon code to work, I've heard people were having trouble using it.

[yeahokthenfu]

Well, this is freaking confusing. I got three e-mails saying that my order had been cancelled.

It did the same shit to me

[Alpha2]

Yeah I got my credit email too... I'll wait for my credit card summary to show up before I take any actions, no need to get worked up right now.

[Reality's Fringe]

I got an email that said a credit was issued to my card. It's debit, so I've yet to go check at my bank.

[Strider Turbulence]

They never touched my debit account and yet I was recieved a 'credited' email.

[~Spirit-of~]

Has anyone gotten the coupon code to work, I've heard people were having trouble using it.

Yep, I can't get the code to work at all. It says that there's an error and to read below, but there is nothing actually listed as the problem.

You would think that Sony would have better monkeys running their site then what I've been seeing over the last two weeks.

[hutno]

Umm I have a question for everyone. Did your credit cards get charged when they cancelled your order?
What is the shaq-fuing deal. The cancel my order then a day later they charge my credit card. I'm about ready to call up and just go nuts

[hutno]

Bump because I want to know if this just happened to me

[yeahokthenfu]

Bump because I want to know if this just happened to me
It happened to me too, Ive been checking my account everyday since I ordered, except for weekends, and they just took the money out, bastards, now Im pissed

[Alpha2]

The online activity record of my creditcard company shows no Playstation.com activity at all on my card so I'm not worried anymore.

I suspect they're doing it just so you have a 0 balance in their own records.

[LV-426RS]

I already got my refund. Sucks that they are pulling money out of your accounts to give me back my money.

[cruzincontrol]

Umm I have a question for everyone. Did your credit cards get charged when they cancelled your order?
What is the shaq-fuing deal. The cancel my order then a day later they charge my credit card. I'm about ready to call up and just go nuts

I just checked this morning and am pissed as well....Just giving me more reasons never to order from them again....They best put my money back...

[hutno]

I sent an email last night and this is the response I got back. I do ebanking and when I checked my account I still haven't recieved a refund

I relized you had issues with your system and I hold no grudges but why the hell did you charge my card for orders that you canceled please get back to me as soon as possiable.

[cruzincontrol]

^^^I like how the words "hell" and "please" are used in the same closing sentence.....

I am anger shaped like a man

Fuckers got me too! :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: AND IT OVERDREW MY ACCOUNT!!!!:bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb:

shaq-fuers got me too! :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: AND IT OVERDREW MY ACCOUNT!!!!:bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: :bomb:

Did that give you a overdraft fee? I had a company over charge me for something once and I incurred a fee. It was a pain in the ass but I got them to eventually pay the fee

[Rig]

I guess it is good I didn't get this "deal."

[yeahokthenfu]

I wonder how mad Playstation.com would get if I sent them and email with the link, that showed Halo 2 selling 1 million copies and then call them bitches

[Scorch]

I wonder how mad Playstation.com would get if I sent them and email with the link, that showed Halo 2 selling 1 million copies and then call them bitches

They'd probably laugh at your stupidity for trying to open their eyes to something that is common sense, then delete it.

[daphatty]

Did that give you a overdraft fee? I had a company over charge me for something once and I incurred a fee. It was a pain in the ass but I got them to eventually pay the fee

Yes it did. Fortunately, Bank of America is very proactive on these types of issues so they have placed an inquiry into the charge and removed the overdraft fee. The funds should be returned to me by tomorrow.

[RacinReaver]

Hmm...update on my situation.

I got the e-mails on the second saying that they cancelled my order. Then, on the third, they said they refunded my order.

Today, I got a message from my school's mail room saying that I got a package UPS. I checked the tracking number they gave me because I wasn't expecting any packages (and my parents said they hadn't sent me anything), and it turns out it's coming from Baltimore, Maryland. It had also shipped on the fourth.

I then checked the balance of my checking account and saw that they had charged me for the purchase on the fifth (three days after cancelling my order and two days after refunding my account).

Of course, when I went to the mail center to pick the package up, they weren't able to find it. They have a record of it coming in, but no record of it going anywhere. Said a supervisor would try to track it down for me overnight, so we'll see if it does wind up being my three games (which I could really right after I finish my Thermodynamics exam).

This whole thing's bugging the heck out of me and makes me remember why I never bothered shopping from that store in the first place.

[jimbodan]

Those rat bastards charged me too, luckily I have plenty to cover it, but it's the damn principle of the matter, plus the fact I'm probably going to have to do some work to sort it all out.

[jlarlee]

Did that give you a overdraft fee? I had a company over charge me for something once and I incurred a fee. It was a pain in the ass but I got them to eventually pay the fee

Yes it did. Fortunately, Bank of America is very proactive on these types of issues so they have placed an inquiry into the charge and removed the overdraft fee. The funds should be returned to me by tomorrow.

I would raise holy hell with them anyways. You might be able to score a nice voucher for your hardship. After you call them 5 or 6 times they will want to be rid of you.

[RacinReaver]

Well, just got my account refunded today; each game was given credit individually. Still no clue what the package they lost in my mail center was (hopefully they'll find it before the weekend).

[CrimsonGeist]

Just got game BO3 in mail for 35 bucks. Me so happy! :)
