Hey, I submitted to obtain the free copy of fallout 4 season pass on PSN and just got an email saying sorry, we ran out, you get a static fallout theme. WtF? Is this a scam site? It never was a drawing and advertised that it was a season pass (which is why I gave them my contact info). Now I don't get shit, and now they have my info. This feels very much like a scam...
A literal bait and switch

I managed to grab it and have no issues with it being revoked.
I didn't say it was equal to stealing. I tried to invoke the crazyness that, when something says $0, it is free, eventhough it is very obviously an error.
Every sane person would indeed go to the counter, where they were told it is an error, but such a thing does not exist with online purchases.
To many people to personally reply too, post looks like crap when doing it.
@ALL about "money back"
Sure they gave us back $0 since it was free, but some picked up the game along side the DLC (because of the DLC being $0), I hope we're allowed to cancel that sale too and get our money back if we so choose (without repercussion).
This, plus one of the first rules of deal hunting: If it's a pricing error or exploit, it stands to reason it may not be honored.
As a frequenter of slickdeals and deal discussion threads, pricing errors and exploits are posted ALL the time. Never is it expected that the seller is obligated to honor the sale.
so you're saying with the same example of whats happened here, that BB should have given me 100 $50 giftcards for free when they had a messup? because i was able to get to the purchase part and to the processing transaction thing.... Thats not how it works.
I remember being amazed last year when the Dying Light season pass thing happened with Gamestop, and we all got to keep our ill-gotten cheap copies of the game. I'd have been perfectly okay if they'd reversed it and said "Sorry, this was a mistake".
As I said earlier in the thread, I don't have a degree in consumer or business law. I don't even know enough to know its proper name.
I do know that unless you had 100 separate PSN accounts then you wouldn't have been able to buy 100 season passes correct? So pretty big difference considering your analogy. That, and this is a single product, not essentially free currency to spend at a store. But more to the point, I never said anyone was entitled to anything, I said I haven't been shown an argument that properly explains to me why this is okay. Dollar for dollar, Rocksteady lost more money when I bought the Arkhma Knight complete bundle off amazon for $12 then Bethesda did here. Does the fact that I spent money period suddenly make this okay, and somehow legally binding in a way that kept them from negating my purchase and just refunding me? Would spending $1 on the season pass instead of it being free suddenly have be same effect and nothing could be done? I'm genuinely curious and I honestly don't know.
Bethesda and Rocksteady lost nothing. Pricing errors are on the retailers' head. Their system or staff did the messing up.
Bethesda is only getting brought up because a number of people on GAF dislike them for various reasons. This is a Sony issue.

When someone steals your credit card and makes illegal purchases, Sony takes that all sales are final stance to avoid any responsibility. It's funny how quickly they've managed to reverse all these season pass purchases.
Not that I think people who abused this glitch are entitled to anything, but I'd have more respect for Sony if they stuck to their guns on this issue out of principle and treated Bethesda like they do their customers.
This really sucks from anyone who bought the main game of fallout 4 as a result of the season pass glitch. Will they be offered a refund on the main game?
If someone steals your CC, your bank has your back and they deal with Sony, not you.
This glitch is straight up pure and simple to prove who downloaded what when. There is no theft, no need to prove the CC was stolen, etc. This situation is unquestionably more simple that the scenario you created.
I think it's an ok thing for Sony to do because there's no way the season pass was supposed to be free. Had it been a marked down price, say $20, then perhaps good will from Sony or Bethesda may have been the resulting action. As it stands it was up for free and maybe they felt the falloutfrom the fans who legit bought the pass may have been enough to get them to decide to revoke the free licenses.(lol....not lol)
I guess I should have stayed my position more clearly as well haha. I honestly have no problem with Sony doing this. You're right that it obviously wasn't meant to be free. When I got Drive Club for $2 or something of Amazon I wouldn't have been annoyed if that had been revoked either. Catching a pricing error and it working in your favor is a fun little occurrence, but nothing to get too worked up over.
Tell that to the people who've had their accounts banned and not being able to play any of their legit purchased digital games. Its one of sony's glaring issues.
Fuck me, I can't believe people genuinely think that they're entitled to keep it without it being reversed and that they're being mistreated because they can't.
"Gamers aren't entitled brats" they told me.
Also, all of your analogies are rubbish.
If they revoke a sale it wasn't final.
/end of discussion.
The answers simple. Sony doesn't seem to always care about keeping their customers happy. Which applies in this threads topic case as well.Tell that to the people who've had their accounts banned and not being able to play any of their legit purchased digital games. Its one of sony's glaring issues.
Not only did people get to keep their copies but they even got the season passes for free too on top of knowing that it was a glitch. They didnt have to do that and I'm amazed that they did.I remember being amazed last year when the Dying Light season pass thing happened with Gamestop, and we all got to keep our ill-gotten cheap copies of the game. I'd have been perfectly okay if they'd reversed it and said "Sorry, this was a mistake".
It's funnier without the reference.
And NO I'm not powerless, the BEST digital user you can be is one who care 0% about trophies and achievements etc, that way, one account one game is wonderful, that way you a lot of power to say UH-UH NO YOU DON'T with.
And that's.... all I will ever say about this, you'll be happy to know I'm leaving the thread after this post.
Get fucking real, you self-entitled little digital shit.
Sure they gave us back $0 since it was free, but some picked up the game along side the DLC (because of the DLC being $0), I hope we're allowed to cancel that sale too and get our money back if we so choose (without repercussion).
...... Is the answer .........Sony?- Sony doesn't normally do this.
- Bethesda is run bycunts"Lawyers".
Wonder which company pushed for this...

Well either it is or it isn't, and apparently it isn't even though Sony claim it is.
I do not consider a sale final if you end up not having the item/product you were purchasing (price irrelevant) because they decided to take it back.
@ALL about the legal text in receipts getting banned etc
Well, YES I'm aware that corporations write crazy stuff and have a free pass (somewhat to do whatever they like).

^^ This is gold...
Also suprised at the amount of people that would just take a $60 game of the shelve and walk out of the store, without paying, simply because the pricetag wasn't stamped properly and therefor misses a 6...
Don't they usually leave those copies be when they make an error like this?
A bit off topic but, when the Psn plus version of Driveclub came out they had an error where the full game upgrade plus all the dlc were free for a while. I managed to snag myself those and thanks to it i still regularly play Driveclub even though my psn has expired many times since then.
We can sue, right?
We can sue, right?
v)We may choose to cancel or not to accept your order for any reason (including price errors).
From the terms of service we all signed up for on PSN. I'd say Bethesda told em to cancel the orders down to pricing errors and Sony did so as per the ToS
Not suprised. They disabled dialogue in the last fallout release, why stop there?
Vicious.Probably the quickest they've ever fixed a bug too.
