Well, something else happened because when you use a card the entire point is so it doesn't charge your card and doesn't renew automatically.

yeah i dunno, according to the chat, it is the same whether a card or purchased, which is super stupid. i guess since i had a card on file from the ps3 days few years ago, it just auto-renewed with that card. glad to be off crappy ps+ anyways. probably won't get it again until the new hot shots golf comes out.

well at least the online chat seems to be very helpful and is removing the charge as well as the auto-renew.

it appears that in the TOS it says it will auto-renew you unless you cancel it yourself.

dirty ... very dirty.


MS pulls the same crap. I had that happen with Xbox live a few years back. I've since went fully with prepaid codes through Amazon for everything I purchase and removed my cc info from both MS and PSN.

i've been fully prepaid with xbl since halo 2 on xb1 and i've never once had this issue, and i've had my card on file. and i'm 100% positive that i've ran out of live before because i remember trying to play sf4 on 360 and i couldn't because it ran out, so i got no clue how these things work.

I remember selling my original Xbox and not having a 360 and needing to call them and reverse an auto renewal. At least until I got a 360.

Yea Microsoft didn't make it easy to remove your card which is why I prepaid for them as well.

Its simple now, you can view your subscriptions from the website and cancel right there. EA access is also listed there.

Sony doesn't seem to have anything similar to cancel services.

Mind giving an idea where to find it? I also would like to be able to remove the EA Access renewal, on the XB360 I had to call MS to remove my CC.

The Sony Entertainment website lets you cancel subscriptions on the fly (it's incorporated to all your Sony services, since I at one point had Music Unlimited, it was also controlled through there).

Can cancel, change cards, etc.

Refunds - never had to ask for one, so on that boat, I have no idea.

What I am pissed about is I put a second Amazon code into my PS+ so I had essentially two years, but I still got auto renewed, which I don't get. It's still showing two years for PS+.

Wh-eird.

even when the 360 came out you had to jump through hoops to take it off.

I had to change my address to something in another state before they let me remove the auto renew

this is odd, because I got the PS4 on launch and got the free PS+ for X months and such, I had PS+ before this as well but mine lapsed and I had to do it manually it didn't auto renew

I dunno what's wrong with my ps4. I can't seem to delete any messages even after refreshing a million times. I may need to go into safe mode and restore the database.

am i the only one who thinks the little big planet 3 commercial is fucking terrible?

i mean they say "while all the other companies are making the same big games" or something like that...

while they are making yet another sequel? like i don't get it. they are saying all these other companies are making rehashes ... on a commercial that's advertising the 3rd iteration of the same game?

such a stupid commercial. i hate when i see it.

I guess they are saying you can play something different and creative because it has 16 layers you can modify to create a level. LBP2 had 3 I think.

so just "the same old stuff but more" just like the games they are trying to call out. just a terrible marketing campaign.

It's not a yearly release though like Assassin's Creed, CoD etc. Platformers with level creators are rare as well. It is pretty unique even if you don't like it. Same old stuff to me is a new suit of clothes on a game we played last year. LBP is a rare type of game to see these days. That's why it had a loyal following. It's just cute enough and just creative enough. It's not the same old shooter, action game where you stab people in the back, or psychopath simulator.

That's just me though. I've played the other LBP games and found them to be very inventive and fun. There are tons of levels available to download for free(over 6million). Some people have used it to recreate other games like tetris, Shadow of Colossus, Donkey Kong, parts of God of War and Final Fantasy. Someone even recreated Back to the Future in the game's engine.

Just recently someone created the whole Final Fantasy 7 game in Little Big Planet.

The non yearly release is why I buy lbp digital. I get at least 2 years of awesome online levels to play. The community is what makes that game and they never disappoint

Most of the big games have already just come out. The next big game, The Order, is something I'm going to wait on reviews for. Too much uncertainty with that one.

Yea that and bloodborne so hopefully they get good reviews. I'm not into monster games much but the order looked interesting.

Bloodborne looks really good to me. The order seems to have a few gameplay issues to resolve.

I love MGS but I am going to be getting that for PC.

Haven't heard much for the order but looks alright. I'll probably get all those on ps4 when they release.

Was watching the uncharted video and the gameplay graphics look gorgeous.
