PS on amazon at 7:00. Went to walmart anyway, their cards were $49.95, just ordered right there on my phone.

Gamestop had a bunch left, I thought of buying some to resell but couldn't be bothered.

Well Wal-Mart usually doesn't get their prices right all the time. Lots of times when I go they never have what I want in stock for weeks.

I read that the codes stack, but I'm still just going to wait until my 30-day trial expires, or until someone else falls on that grenade first 🙂

Yea good idea. I set my auto renewal to off so I'll just wait until Dec 15 to renew it for 1 year. Hopefully we don't get any errors or code invalid lol. I tried extending my 30 day free trial by adding codes for those 7 day trials you get in the game cases and they didn't work.

Seems like if you are on a free trial already you may not be able to stack it.

I don't know if it still works but putting any US adress as your shipping adress on your profile will let you buy digital content, i am in Mexico and i bought one

I think it will depend on where your ps4 info is set up under your account. If the address psn is made under is a US address then it will work. Otherwise it may say it's not valid for your region. I'm not sure exactly what dependencies psn has.
 
Guys, I have a question about PS+. If I understand how the free game thing works correctly, they rotate different free games every month and you have to download them and once you've done that, you keep them as long as you are subscribed to PS+. But, can I choose to "download" a game if I don't have a console by queuing it on the web somehow? I'm wondering if I could subscribe to PS+ and accumulate a game library until I eventually get a PS4?

I don't think you can do that yet. You can download the psn app and buy games, but you will need your ps4 to remote install them. You can purchase games and download them later. But I'm not sure you can Que free games on your account.

To get the free games on a system you don't own yet, you just checkout using the PSN web store and "buying" the game like you would normally do for a PS+ game for a system you already do own. That locks the game into your download section even if you didn't download it.

So yes, doing the above method you can accumulate a game library while you don't own the system. I've been doing it with the Vita and plenty of others are doing it for other systems.

But you need to have at least one system. I'm not sure if he meant that or if he does not have a system at all yet.

Try logging in to the psn web store. As long as you have a psn plus membership, try and purchase one of the free games. See if it registers on your account. If so, that download should be available on a Sony system later.

I don't have a PS+ membership, I am trying to decide if I should get one based on the answer to this question. 🙂

Yea I'm not sure how it would work because I know as long as you have a psn membership you should be able to. Let me login since I'm working from home today and see what it says on the pc.

As far as I know it does not matter. I was able to redeem a couple PSP games when I did not own a PSP nor Vita at the time. I was hoping they would work on the Vita.

wasn't the ps+ card suppossed to have a $5 amazon videogame credit? i never got one 🙁
Click to expand...

It comes with an instant video credit, not a videogame credit. The credit would probably show up if you ordered a video. This would be the sweetest deal ever if that was a videogame credit. 🙂
 
oh weird, thought i read it came with videogame credit, never got an email that i got a promotional credit as i usually do either

Cant get my 1yr psn code to activate. How long does it take for the amazon codes to work?
Click to expand...

Are you in the 30 day free trial window ? If so, it won't work until your 30 day free psn plus trial is over. If someone who is on the trial can confirm that the codes do work and it stacks, then I would say contact Amazon.
