I really hate cancelling a service and still getting what I already paid for. these corporations do it just to try and get you hooked all over again.

It asks you once the first time you play a game, then never again for that particular game.

That's not what this thread is about. OP has already canceled auto-renewal, but now he's upset that he'll still have access to PS+ until his trial period runs out. He absolutely hates PS+, apparently, and wants that filth gone from his account RIGHT NOW. Alas, he cannot. He will have to live with it. Or just not touch his PS3 for two weeks, which he seems to be considering.
Fascinating, really.

Oh, you mean that horribly inconvenient screen that pops up the first time you play a game?

Your joke: Good things make Huelen10 angry. Getting free games is good. This means Huelen10 would be angry.
By "get free games" I thought you meant to keep, which would be good, which would make Huelen10 angry. But just being able to play for a couple days would probably only be enough to slightly annoy Huelen10.
I possibly overthought that...

Damn right it's a fucking outrage I tell ya. You should call up yosp and be like, "hey listen Jack when I say cancel my subscription, you cancel my subscription."
Me too...
When I canceled my cable subs, it was still good until the next payment cycle since I'd already paid for the service for that month.
Why would anyone complain about having a few more weeks of PS+?

I know it's against the rules to complain about threads but...this thread was worth the read lol. I had an audible trial renew itself for $15, and I never used it, and even I didn't get this mad. What the fuck haha.

I truly don't understand this reaction. All I wanted to know was if I was doing things right on my part (as I've previously stated), and what my options were, that's it. Thanks to a few posters, I was able to get the information I needed. I also learned about how consumer friendly/unfriendly some subscription services are and the options behind them. I am glad I got the info I needed, but I don't understand the ridicule. There's nothing funny about feeling misled by an offer due to incorrect-use of wording, and there's nothing wrong with expecting a cancellation to mean just that, yet now that I better understand the PSN policies I can deal with it. What I don't understand is some of the reactions in this thread, I consider it immature.
Honestly, to those that provided me with answers, thanks a lot; you have given me peace of mind that I will not be charged.

I came into this thread being like
"Why would this feller wanna cancel PS Plus? It's great to me"
What I got was something else entirely.
This is the brutal legend of threads.

Probably because after you knew you wouldn't be charged, you were still mad because you couldn't 'cancel' something that wasn't having any negative effect on you. I fail to see how this is bad when services like Netflix or Crunchyroll end your membership as soon as you 'cancel' it, even if you had paid to renew it two days ago. That is far, far more devious than this.

Cancel membership != cancel subscription
Even if you got it for free, you're entitled to the duration of your subscription.

You are a very polite and respectful poster. You have thus far been very clear in explaining what your issue is, and curt in your replies - to those who have helped and even those who have mocked you. I commend you for bringing such a positive attitude to this board.
That being said, it should come as no surprise that people are on average reacting this way. It is by far the weirdest complaint I've ever read in my life. I don't usually find "jokes" on these threads funny, but I've laughed way more than I should have with this thread. This is total insanity and I love it. The thing is you really do have a point regarding the unclear language used. What's baffling is the suggestion that you may not have used your free trial had you known you'd have to bear it for a full two weeks.
On a more constructive note: have you tried using your PS4 online? If you don't want PS+ I'd assume you don't play online. I don't know this for sure but maybe you won't get prompts if the machine is offline?

Because everyone and theirs mom "should" know how subscription works, as well as canceling such subscription.
Auto-renewal is the norm, you can't even get a fricken Gold Gym membership without having a ACH or debit card ties to your membership.
But you getting angry over free days while already canceling the subs is just weird.
You should try and call up your internet provider sometime about canceling their service, then you will realize that your PS+ ordeal wasn't that bad.
This has been the best thread. I laughed so hard that I cried. Op , you have some validity but the cloud save is not a big deal. All you have to do is either say yes or no to ONNCE. That shouldn't be too difficult unless you REALLY HATE PROMPTS. If so don't get a PS4 or Xbox one lol.

You must send a written letter to Kazuo Hirai with you name signed in blood. So it is, so it will be.

Serious non-trolling question, how much do you think you save per hour you use scouring the internet/other sources for discounts, coupons and the like? Is it really worth it?
This question is directed at anyone who does the same.I've noticed this culture is quite prevalent in the states especially. In Norway no one bothers with this stuff basically, and I feel a lot of Europe is the same.

UFC Fight Pass does, it doesn't even let you stay in the session just boots you out.
At OP, you can also press triangle on a game before hand and set Cloud saves to on or off. Still, this is a hilarious topic.

Lol so true. I don't play online so that part of the service is worthless to me, but the "free" PS+ games you get every month and the fact that I would end up losing them all and have basically payed for nothing at all if I cancel the service pretty much put me in to lifetime subscription. :/ And you can't go in once a year to collect the free games of the year to be cheap either since you have to be there every single month to not miss them. It's like Netflix but instead of 7000+ movies from day 1 you start with 0 games from the start and 2 games added every month, over time it'll be an awesome collection but also very very expensive. Devilishly clever way to make money.
It's all a clever ruse. Sony, deliberately misleading people like that, scaring them into thinking they've done something wrong and taunting them with the assumed lie that the subscription won't auto-renew, all the way through bullying them by condescending save cloud storage prompts.
To think some people actually PAY for those shitty prompts!

I think that you can cancel your plus, wait however long you'd like, re-subscribe and get the same games that you redeemed originally. You'll miss any new plus games in the meantime of course.
Someone should correct me if I'm wrong.

That's true, but there is one ongoing thread here about someone who did that but lost all their games. Better to just keep paying probably.

wow, so this is your first ever subscription service?
cancelling a subscription means that after the so far paid time runs out, you won't have the subscription active any longer.

You do realize nealry every paid subscription works like this and they give you a warning as you sign up.
Not their fault you couldn't be bothered to read the terms.
Xbox works exactly the same if you signed up by credit card.
