For those that dont know ps+ auto renews using any stored credit card data on your system. There is no way to NOT have your subscribtion auto renew untill you turn it off

It says in the small print auto renewal will be turned on untillyouturn it off!

Sony sure is tricky. Giving all of psn a free month long ps+ subscription and not telling them it auto renews using their credit card number. Luckily Im here for you 8)

PS+ is great, just know how the service works :)

Yeah im hopeing they'll PSN+ without our credit cards info, but Knowing sony they won't.

After the last month, if you still have credit card information on the account then you're just asking for it. But yes PSN+ does auto renew unless you turn the option off.

mine is turned off automatically.

and i doubt they'll turn it on auto for people they're making it free for

I kind of figured that would be the case, butit doesn't really matter because I removed my credit card from my psn account as soon as I was able and will never use anything but psn cards to make purchases from now on.

You'd have to be nuts to give Sony your credit card information now after the security breach.

if someone still has a credit card numbersaved on psn after all what heppened recently its his own fault for being trapped :D

this is the same for all PS3 subscriptions.

Unless it's something you want on, auto-renewals should be turned off the second you subscribe to anything.

To be fair, all new PS+ users have the function turned on when you subscribe, it'll use saved CC info (no you are NOT asked for it when you sub) or money left in your wallet.

I wouldn't say it's a trap, it's all there to be read about and you're warned about it when you subscribe.

Seing as the sub goes active when the welcome back stuff does, I would assume the warning would still be there when you first use PS+

At least you can easily turn it off. have you ever tried removing auto-recycle or CC info from the other console? It's a nightmare

same here,

My CC info stays put. Anyone with a credit card should have ID Theft protection anyway. It's just comman sense. the petrol station is more likely to rip on your card than a hacker with your email address

Lol, Thanks for the heads up Akbar

I hope you don't need to put in credit card information because I don't even have one.

Exactly, I've never actually seen anyone saying they've been charged for things they never even bought. I think people are just making it out to be worse than it actually was. I've not had any problems and neither has anyone else that I've heard of.

If i have to enter my credit card details to sign up for PS+ then i wont be bothering. The point of having those PSN preloaded cards is for people who don't want to put their CC info in.. it would be kinda silly for them to then say "oh but we want your info, even though we wont be using it" especially after they were just hacked and peoples info was stolen.Rattlesnake_8

they WILL NOT ASK FOR CREDIT CARD INFO when you get your PS+ sub

Appreciate the heads up:) "BUT" for those of us who read the fine print, it's not a problem. Sony isn't being "TRICKY"...some people just need to learn to pay more attention to detail when it comes to things like that..:D

It's called SMART marketing!!! lol...I see your point though.:)

How exactly is Sony being tricky? You sign up for anything online, theres always terms and conditions everyone should read. Its not Sony's fault for lack of consumer awareness.

With that said, I love the Admiral Ackbar reference ;)

Exactly, almost every single subscription based service is automatically set to auto renew. It's just how it's done.

It's not a trap, you're an idiot if you don't pay attention to the small print in the first place.

:)

so quick question then concerning ps+, do we all automatically get the free month when the store went up or do we have to go through some type of process to activate the free month?

Where's the option to turn off auto renewell then? I've never used PS+ and i think i still have card information on there.

It says in the small print auto renewal will be turned on

Sony sure is tricky. not telling them it auto renews using their credit card number.

i imagine that if you sign up for the free month of ps+ and then buy a game at a discounted price, lets say under siege, and then cancel your ps+, how is under siege treated? I know that the games given for free are nullified once the ps+ used to get them for free is deactivated...

well thats ok because i wasnt even gonna use it i just wanna know about the welcome back program and when it will be up 8)

on a side note at least you can turn off auto renews and take your card off PSN from your console whenever you want unlike XBL where you have to phone them up

I am more concerned about having my personal information stolen than my CC number. If my number is stolen worse case is I dispute the charges with my credit card company. But if you have my full name, email address, password, home address, telephone numbers, etc., that's enough to start the process of ID theft. Keep in mind that this is probably the safest the PSN will be considering that the breach just happened and I would like to think that Sony has gone above and beyond to keep our information secure now.

They ripped me off like this on january, **** sony. Well right now i dont have over 10bucks on my wallet so they cant steal my money. Take that!

Microsoft has been doing this since they launched xbox live. You actually have to call customer service up to stop it from happening :|

From the PS Blog:

"In addition, we're giving access to our premium subscription service,PlayStation Plus, which includes games, huge discounts, exciting exclusives and added features like online storage and automatic downloads, to all PSN members for 30 days at no charge, requiring no long term commitment. As with the games above, go to the PlayStation Store and under the 'Welcome Back' section, select 'PlayStation Plus: 30 Days Free', and you'll be given access to all of the benefits of PlayStation Plus. Note that this will not auto-renew and simply expires 30 days after activation."

so there's no reason not to take advantage of it.
