I prefer the Playstation system to any other console, but the exclusives for the other consoles always stand out to me more so it's an interesting dilemma. I'm still generally Playstation all the way. My first game console was the first Playstation and I've had each upgrade since then.

It's complicated and boring having to register credit card to send funds to the account of the Playstation Store, should have option to pay by invoice or online transfer. But everything is processed quickly and that made me happy.

As a gamer, I care about gaming, not quantity of sales, and as a gamer quantity will never beat quality! PS has let "players" down by releasing a lot of mediocre exclusive games that have high sales because there's a drought of platform exclusives.
Not impressed Sony, by launch day ps4 is waiting for the greatest you promised!

They are the pimp and the prostitute, all at the same time. With Playstation network, this company is "racking up the dough". They charge for everything; example, imagine if someone charged you for coming into their home. They also charged you for a glass of water, and to use the restroom. Oh yeah, and while you were there, you were being charged for breathing in their air. This is Playstation and their network in a "nutshell"

You know it is better than Xbox. STarting from exclusives ending with a comfortable controller. I got myself a Witcher Wild Hunt Playstation. It looks so amazing. Totally worth the money.

I honestly like this site, or this kind of sites because they are really helpful. I don't have to look hours for sites in a specific field. Here you find almost all the important ones and plus, they are on categories. Fantastic!

We have been using the PSN for a number of years with our PS3. So at Christmas we decided to get a PS4.

Everything was great and we set everything up with my account. I noticed that there was a product that I had not come across before, Playstation Now.

Sony where offering a 1 month trial of Playstation Now and I thought that I would give it a try. When setting it up everything went fine. Within a few minutes I had an email from them. The email said that they had just charged me £12.99.

I wasn't happy as the offer said that it was free for the first month. I tried to contact Sony but everytime I called them I was put on hold.

I then decided that I would contact my credit card company and explain what had happened with a screenshot showing that it was free.

The bank then did a charge back, due to the evidence that I sent them. They then gave me back my money.

This week I have tried to login to my account over 3 days and could not get on due to problems with Sony's servers.

I searched online yesterday morning and it said that the servers where back up and running again. I got home and went to logon to the PSN and got a message to say that i had been banned!

So gave Sony a call and got through and asked about my account and they said that it was banned dued to a chargeback of £12.99

So where am i now...
I have an account that I can not use because it is banned
Purchased PSN Plus and can't use it
The case has been forwarded to Head office, but they don't know when I will hear back from them, it could be weeks!

Not happy

***Update***

Just called them as I have not heard anything back from them for 2 weeks. I was told that I need to pay them £12.99?
And even if I do pay them, It doesn't mean that the ban would be lifted.
On top of this, i'm then told that they may ban my PS4!

I have now been told that I need to just wait to hear from someone...

Make sure that you don't save your credit card information inside the account on the game because it will let your child charge with out authorization from you. AND, they don't refund even though they know it was a 10 yr old kid.

I've had years of experience with Sony's playstations which goes back to the first one. It pulled me through my childhood and I had a lot of joy with it. Sony has never disappointed me with their most successful product.

Parental controls, accessibility and fun other games are allowed. You may put restricted access on use of the PS4 if needed, so it is good as a discipline system. The community is MUCH better than XBOX and is much more better. 10/10!
