I thought you had to pre-order within 7 days of release to get the $10? Unless I read that wrong/they stopped using that rule.
If the Spelunky issue is a server issue, maybe we will be back in business? It's unlikely, but I'll check.
It doesn't sound that bad to me. Assuming you would ever see $30 again was crazy, IMO. I expect $40 is as good as it will likely get from here on out barring a price mistake.That's pretty terrible.
It's still on the list of eligible titles, so no. And it is "within 7 days of release" since FC4 releases tomorrow, so maybe you meant to say "before 7 days of release"?
Except it isn't $40, and you have to buy 2 years at once. I'll just hold out hope that a $40 straight up deal (or better) will show up between now and February.
I don't get home from work until about 7 eastern, so that won't work. Usually I game from 10-12 eastern, if that works. Like Gator said, it takes two minutes tops to knock out the online trophies. And yes I'm on Kik so you can hit me up in there.
I think it does work on PSN cards, so you could get 2x$50 (or 2x$20 if you don't want to commit $100) for 17% off and then just buy it off PSN if a better deal doesn't come along before your subscription expires. Same discount, but more flexible, and it would count torward a Buy X get Y credit back promotion unlike the year subscriptions.
6-7 is too close to that PSN maintenance downtime anyway, I forgot about that. I'll shoot for 10, if not tonight then later this week. I'll get my Kik set up today sometime.
Interesting point. I could use the $50 (for $40) PSN card I bought… but I want that for Pinball Arcade season 2, etc! Maybe another $50 for $40 deal will pop up….
Let's see ($50 PSN card *.75*.95) + ($50 PSN Card*.95) = $35.63 + $47.50 = $83.13 at the store. Then on the most recent PSN promotion (if you can wait that long for the next one) it was buy $100 (2 years of plus or 1 year of plus + $50 in software) get $15 back.
I took away Tales of Xillia 2 for $20 and a 16gb Vita card for $20 from it. Either Cyber Monday is going to be incredible, or I'll not be spending much this year.
Does it work that way? I always assumed redeeming a PS+ card didn't count towards those promos.
The pro division, yes, but the novice division's winner is still up in the air...You won, it's time to let it go.
He was talking about buying PSN $ cards on sale to fund the PSN wallet, then buying the Plus sub out of your wallet on PSN. That would work for the promotions since anything from your wallet counts.
I was ahead by one point before the blow up. I did have a likely first place in the day when we saw the problems and didn't get full results, but then the next day I had a bad run. I'm definitely not a shoe in in the Pro division.
You can't buy two $25 PSN cards. They don't exist. So you're buying more than $50 worth of PSN money. If we get another $50 for $40 deal, though, I'm definitely buying.
We can't continue until they get it "legit fixed", so, yeah.
da fuq?PSN wasn't even around 10 years ago.
No, though you could do two transactions, a $20 X 2 and a $10 X 2 and then have $10 left over to spend on software after funding the purchase of 1 year of PS+ via PSN if you don't want to buy 2 years worth.
You sound like our operations department. If you are going to be doing just in time buying you are rarely ever going to get the best deal. Buy 2 $50 for $40 and then buy 2 years of plus when a promo happens. It seems like you are dead set to get the best bargain but not have more than 1 active year on your account at a time. I'm not sure you can get there from here...
Yes...yes, I know. I have fun with my poor hearing by deliberately misunderstanding people. It doesn't translate as well to non-verbal communication, though.
I figure I'm likely to see a straight up $40 deal between now and then. Check in with me again after February. But $40 deals have happened recently and seem likely to happen again before long.
Since this probably got buried over the weekend, I'll post again. Maybe run a poll to gauge interest? Or did Tyler get eaten by a bear again.
No offense, but I would hardly be interested in a Pinball Arcade tournament. I guess that means everyone else would be on board, though.
Not live ive ever participated before in one, but I definitely wouldnt do one for pinball.
I would have had you let me know about it!
It was posted in this thread and commented on by a few people. That was part of the reason for my earlier comment. I thought you were dead set on getting it for $30 again.
No. I must have skipped that discussion. There's a few recent days where I didn't catch up and just let it go. Must have been in there.
Or someone could play each table once and be done. Depends on how good their early runs are.
I read his post to say he should have bought 10 years worth of PSN last year at $30 a year. And I think he was probably exaggerating.PSN wasn't even around 10 years ago.
I'd say this would have to be like a gentlemen's rule or something. Otherwise wouldn't it kinda just fall into the category of being able to practice until you own it? I think the one run and you're done aspect of the Spelunky tourney made it much more interesting.
Of course if there is a good deal to be had I'll bite. Too bad they didn't do it again this year.
