PSN games?

[Brill Weave]

Someone got access to your PSN account. Is what it is. They should refund you the money. I don't know how feasible it would be for you to cancel the card since you're out of the country. If Sony won't refund the amount just initiate a charge back through your bank.

[Tyrath]

I've heard of people being banned from PSN for initiating a cancel through their bank. I'm gonna wait and see what Sony says to my email. If they don't comply then they will get an angry call when I get back home Wednesday.

I don't really get what the benefit of someone getting into my account could be for them if they can't take access of the account or the items they bought lol. Griefing I suppose. Hopefully Sony will just refund me and it won't be an issue.

As I went to make the call today, I noticed that 2 deposits of $25 were made back to my bank from sony. Makes me think it might've been a system glitch rather than a hack because they gave me the money back without me asking.

Edit: I talked to someone anyway just in case and the guy "honestly couldn't tell me what happened." AKA We dun fucked up.

Edit2: Got an email about it

Dear valued customer,

Your Sony Entertainment Network account was among a small group of accounts that experienced internet fraud. Our evidence shows that the fraud was a result of a sophisticated attack on user accounts through use of an externally-acquired list of credentials and not an intrusion on our network.

We have refunded your account for transactions we determined were unauthorized, and reset your account password to protect you and your account information. The refunds were made directly to the credit card or other payment options registered on your account*. This will appear on the financial statement of your payment method as a one-time inclusive credit from PlayStation/Sony Entertainment Network.

Unfortunately, internet fraud including phishing, brute force attacks, password matching and in-game scams are realities that consumers and online networks face on a regular basis. Internet security remains an industry-wide challenge as attacks become more sophisticated and persistent.

Sony is steadfast in its commitment to online security and protecting the accounts of its customers. We also strongly urge you to choose hard-to-guess unique passwords that you have not used before with any account and to always look for unusual activity on your account, including emails about transactions you did not perform, in order to reduce your accounts' susceptibility to internet fraud and unauthorized access. We also encourage you to use a valid email address on your account in the event that we need to notify you regarding your account.

What is it with the FIFA shit?

I just got an email that my Origin password changed. I was still able to change it back and get in. When I did I pulled up my purchase history and they had downloaded Dead Space and FIFA World.

[Salodin]

Whenever I hear about a psn hacking, it involves FIFA purchases lol.

[Tyrath]

I honestly don't get the point if they don't even steal the account. Is it just trolling? lol

[aurik]

They probably hack the accounts to buy fifa packs, then trade any valuable cards they get to other accounts.

Edit: Nvm me, I looked at the EU list. NA isn't too bad either.

The yearly 3 games should change around E3 time too.

Interesting quote in the link:

The excitement around PlayStation 4 has been tremendous, and it has been exciting to see how quickly our dedicated community has rallied around the system, adopting and engaging with its features and spreading the word about what makes PS4 the best console available. PlayStation Plus has been an essential part of PlayStation 4, providing access to next-gen online multiplayer and a steady stream of great games including Resogun, Outlast, Don’t Starve and Mercenary Kings. Since we are always looking to continue evolving PS Plus to be a service that really serves our community, we are excited to provide a more balanced set of games introduced each month with PS Plus. As you’ll see below, starting in June, members will have access to two titles per month for each of our platforms.

Since we’ve seen how excited many of you are to download Instant Game Collection titles as soon as they’re available, we’ve decided to adjust the length of time each title will be available. Starting in July, every title in the Instant Game Collection will be available the first Tuesday of the month, and will be free for the month, until the first Tuesday of the following month, taking the guesswork out of how long the game will be available for free. In the coming weeks, you’ll see that several of the titles that have had a nice, long stint in the Instant Game Collection will be phased out, so if you’re new to the service and haven’t had a chance to download all of the titles available through PS Plus — or if you’ve been thinking about subscribing but haven’t yet — now is the perfect time to get all the great games available with PS Plus.

It almost sounds like they're phasing out the yearly PS+ titles?

[Ratatapa]

Probably they usually change the yearly game around E3

[octopus]

No I meant, they're saying they won't have yearly games anymore. Every game will be on PS+ for a month from now on.

[Kaisha]

So basically one less PS3 game a month in favor of two for PS4.

All it really does is make the PS4 more appealing to me as it did the Vita where I had about 10+ games racked up via PS+ before I bought the machine. Also thank fucking god, for once Vita gets indie games I don't already own on it, and wouldn't mind playing.

[Tyrath]

Getting all the games at the start of the month like EU does is great.

[gaira]

dumb question maybe: you only have a month to download while the game is active, but once done you still keep it for the length of your membership right?

[Tyrath]

Not even to download. All you have to do is "purchase" it for $0 and make sure it's added to your download list. After that you can download and/or play it anytime long as you have the membership.

thanks. just recently joined on ps3, got to play several games i would have never purchased on my own, fairly happy with it so far.
