It was mighty presumptuous of Sony to assume I would spend 50 dollars on their console by sending me 10 dollars early.

Why would I spend anything on PSN now knowing that nothing is backwards compatible with the PS4?

To play it? Are you going to not purchase The Last of Us because it's on disc and won't work on the PS4 either?

Because PS3s don't magically erode away as soon as you part with your cash for a PS4.
So you can play it on PS3?
In any case, this makes a mighty good argument for purchasing Plus since it has a 3 free months offer right now.
Assuming you currently own a PS3, it's conceivable that you would still own one when the PS4 comes out. AFAIK everything will still work on your PS3 as it has always done.
Edit: Beaten, and in more blunt terms.

Not falling for this again after the Halloween sale now that I know there will be no BC.
They kinda do... but not because you bought a PS4.
My sub is up in a month. So I'm going to grab those free three months before the offer expires. Also $10 back isn't bad. The game lineup is meh. Not getting MLB on PS3. Already have Bioshock paid off on PC.
To play it, as already stated.
Are you selling off your PS3?

Take your common sense else where!
As for me I wish i could do the 1 year of PS+ with the bonus 3 months with this lol.
Yeah... Sony kinda closed the door on PSN purchases for me with that announcement. I'd be more inclined to bite now if the games were much cheaper.
Still though, I like that they run these deals and think it goes a long way to attracting potential buyers lookin to get a return.
Legitimately good use of both offers.

They sure do when you trade them in or sell them in order to buy the new console.

Awesome, I will use the money I get from the Vita referral program.
A lot of us were hoping to trade in our PS3's towards a PS4.
GS usually does a great trade in deal when a new system comes in but we cant unless we want all our shit gone. It's why im not buying PS4 at launch.
It's March 4th.
My sub is up in 22 days. So I'm only getting 2 out of the 3 months. I'm not complaining though.. $10 from the loyalty email, 2 free months of PS+ and now $10 back for spending $50.
That's what Sony's website says. Should have ~3 days of overlap with this.

I can buy Last of Us and sell it. Can I do that with PSN purchases?
PS+ subs just tack on at the end, they don't replace the current sub. If you have 22 days left and bought a year of ps+ before march 4th, you would have 15 months + 22 days left.
Yeah. That much is true I guess. If I were to guess, GS will give you about $100 for your PS3 in that situation.
Honestly. If I didn't own a Vita. I wouldn't re-up my PS+ sub. The PS4 is out this year, and I don't see much PSN content, outside of new retail releases that are worth it.
Thanks for the info.
I'll re-up today

Not to mention the fact that spending money on PSN is foolish in the wake of all the PS+ freebies they give out. I've completely stopped purchasing anything on PSN except my subscription.

PS3s erode away when you sell them? The more you know. Why would anybody buy one in the first place?
I'd prefer the PS4 to be sold at a reasonable price, rather than have another "$599" fiasco where production costs shoot right up because of BC inclusion.
Yep. If it's not discounted or a new release I don't buy it. I'm still waiting on New Little King's Story (Vita) to go on sale. I refuse to buy it otherwise.
Yeah that 1-cent will get you.

because you already have a system to play it on when it's out?
I might get the Atelier game if it is $49.99 again. I got $10 for free last week from Sony. With another $10 rebate, the game will effectively be $30.
Promotion starts today.
Oh, it's $10 back for every $50 this time, nice. Looks like I'm waiting a few days to pick up this week's sales.

I can't use my credit card on US PSN, so I'm screwed unless I buy a 50$ PSN code from Amazon.

I'll be buying a lot of Vita stuff, so that'll all qualify. I will admit, I'm less inclined to buy digital stuff day-one after hearing about the BC on PS4. Hopefully, there'll be some sort of program with the eventual Gaikai that lets you play your past purchases.
It must suck to sell products to an audience that plans to keep them in the shelf forever.
If you're not going to play the game you're buying now, don't freaking buy it.
Gotta top dat NPD chart.

^Correct! Buy 1 year of Plus get $10, then buy anything off US PSN that amounts to $50 and get ANOTHER $10 back~
Fuck my lazy eyes for not seeing that. doesn't sound too bad lol.

Hmm, well, I did it last time (the $100 promo) and didn't regret it. Looks like I'll be doing it again this time. Now the trick will be figuring out what I want to buy.
I wish JAW would hurry up and get Munch HD Vita out, I'd totally bite on that. I know I want to double-dip on Stranger's Wrath and get it for Vita (already have it on PS3). Tough to say what else I want to snag though.

I guess people really like trading in their old systems, but I'm sticking with my OG phat for as long as that sucker turns on. Buying a PS4 means my PS3 can become a permanent blu-ray player in my bedroom and of course, my 50+ PSN games will remain on system as well.
For those who will be trading away their PS3 for a PS4, I'd keep my PS3 games if I were you. There is a huge chance Sony will offer disc-validation for Gaikai streaming.
Edit - Does anyone know if getting PS+ will work with this promo? Because if so, it will continue my love story with PS+, which I've had multiple times for more than a year total, but never bought it yet.
