US PSN

PS Plus Bundle: Buy 1 Year of Plus, Get 3 Additional Months of Plus and Showtime

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2017...get-3-additional-months-of-plus-and-showtime/

- I didn't read the terms, but I remember such 12+3 deals only apply if you subscribe thru psn store directly; redeeming ps+ card code (bot from amazon or pcgamesupply) does not apply. Again, pls read the T&C carefully.

- Showtime/Vue should be IP locked. We probably can't use it, unless your PS4's network goes through VPN.

Don't knock Disc Jam yet, it's a new game, who knows, could turn out to be the next Rocket League. And if it sux, then oh well, Asia PS+ will inherit it one or two months later, so Asia will get the stink as well. Umbrella Corp is confirmed to totally sux big time (38/100 metacritics). US/EU will never put it in PS+ IGC, they have some unwritten rule about minimum metacritics score before including a free game (unless it's totally new game with no score available). Never seen such tiny map in any mp shooter before (Rocket League has bigger maps, lol). And you can prone and still move as fast as standing up, facepalm.

Tearaway is common among all regions. The other 4 titles in Asia PS+ are catch up of titles already given out 1-3 months ago.

US PlayStation Store to Begin Charging Sales Tax in More States on April 1, 2017
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net...ore-sales-tax-in-more-states-on-april-1-2017/

In an email sent to PlayStation Network users, Sony has revealed that they’ll be charging sales tax on purchases made through the US PlayStation Store in more states beginning on April 1, 2017. According to NeoGAF users, some of the affected states include Alabama, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, Utah, and Washington.

Here’s what the email says:

Hello valued PlayStation customer,
We are writing to inform you that PlayStation Store, including all services such as PlayStation Vue, PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now, and PlayStation Music, will start collecting tax in your state starting April 1, 2017. The sales tax charged on each order is determined by your state, county and city tax rates.

On the PlayStation Support site, Sony explains why they’re charging sales tax on PlayStation Store purchases:

In certain areas, state and local laws require PlayStation Store to collect applicable sales taxes. In order to comply with these laws, PlayStation Store began collecting sales tax on its products/services in certain states in April 2016.

Answering the question of whether or not purchases from all states are taxable, Sony says, “PlayStation Store collects sales taxes on its products/services in certain states as required by local laws.”

map accurate as of July 2016

Usually we use Oregon state (city Portland), which is colored white in the map. Not sure what that means, but there's no tax so far, and I haven't received the email. If you are using a taxable state and received the email, just go change your address to another state where there is no tax.

ps plus bundle subscription

... i just bought FFXV last month.
anyway, do you think the bundle with titanfall 2 is worth it?
is the playerbase still high?

 

[wadsad]

playing disk jam now. addictive. but not enough players. i need wait like 5 mins for a game. not sure how their find players work but they ask u to choose region. hope can make like rocket league to improve match making.

edit: and server is down now would say its not a great but decent game, but whats great is 1 match last no more than 5 mins. good time killer and not much committment needed as learning curve is really flat. even easier than rocket league.
