I appreciate the credit, but Dollar General only sells $25 PSN cards. So you will have to buy $42.50 in cards.

well I guess if you were gonna renew anyways that will cover the taxes and give you about 8 free dollars so nothing lost

Misleading thread title is misleading.

What pisses me off more than anything is how we now get taxed on base price PS+ cards. I don't know if PSN cards are also taxed. Total bullshit.

Thanks Jose you are the man

What's funny is if you buy on PSN from a tax free state then obviously no tax.. If you buy PSN cards in store you pay sales tax so it's not a 15% off discount when you factor in sales tax. Sales tax varies from like 7-10%. If you're paying 10% sales tax on the cards with this promo you're only saving 5% off buying from the PSN if you just switched your region settings to a sales tax free state.

I've noticed this too when buying cards in store vs no sales tax online.

Another reason why I prefer physical.

It’s not a good practice IMHO to mess with regions or billing anymore
I saw one or two reddit posts where dudes with thousands on their account were banned for “tax evasion” AFTER the fact (as if we knew/or were warned back then in TOS that they could reaquisition digital libraries on these violations)

So whatever the case is, i expect to pay State sales tax and leave it at that.

My switch as well, i wont risk losing my eshop stuff for saving $1-2 in tax every $20 spent

I can see this too. Honestly all reasons why I try not to spend a lot on PSN it will all go inaccessible faster then the tangible goods would.

I never tried doing that I just know its a common thing. My state is tax free on PSN so far.
