Sony Sends American PSN Users $10 For Being American PSN Users

Posted on Wednesday, February 20 @ 12:00:00 Eastern by

Some North American PSN users might be happy to find a gift direct from Sony in their message inboxes. If you're like me, you found a voucher for $10 in the PSN store overnight and you're now wondering what do with it.

It appears as though the maker of all things PlayStation is attempting to build a little extra hype in the most loyal population of their fanbase: anyone still willing to put their credit card information into their PS3. Did you get a voucher? Have you checked your PS3 lately?

There's a lot to buy on the PSN for only 10 bucks, but maybe it's a better idea to wait for tonight's PlayStation Meeting 2013. You might just find yourself in need of a 10-spot.

    I did. I was wondering about that. Wasn't sure if it was like some kind of cash back for purchases or a one time $10 voucher.

    I checked my account, and saw that I had a new message from Sony. But instead of being a gift card for 10 dollars, it was a message telling me I still had available balance in my wallet and gave me a link to spend it.

    I had fourteen cents in my PSN wallet.

    Fucking Sony.

    I have 3 cents......not sure I wanna check my messages. Good thing I have like 4 accounts.
    Can't help but wonder how many people will ignore this due to the massive amount of people who spam you saying they are someone from Sony, lol.

    Hmm, I might have to go over to a friends house and use his to check it, if I do buy something with it and download it later on my new console.

    Your balance will not change. You get a message in your message box, and when you select the attachment in the message it takes you to the PS Store to redeem a code that is already input. Once you click continue after that, the funds are added to your wallet.

    Yeah, I understood that there was a message. I had no new messages. Just a message from Sony asking me to spend the $4 dollars that was already in my account.
