10% PSN Discount Codes

January 23, 2015
 |  Games

After announcing earlier in the week that they will be handing out 10% PSN codes, Japanese giants Sony have finally released full info on the one-time discount code.

Published on the PlayStation blog, the discount codes have been handed out as a way of apologising for the outage the PlayStation Network suffered during the Christmas period.

Although it’s a nice gesture, there are limitations to Sony’s goodwill. For example, you won’t be able to use the discount code on pre-orders. You also won’t be able to use the code on PS Plus subscriptions, Music Unlimited and video rentals. So it’s borderline pointless? You can’t really offer a good will gesture with a restriction. Seems more like a sales tactic, rather than an apology. Try again Sony!

A spokesperson for Nintendo has confirmed that a customer repair centre in the UK, which deals with its products has been recently hit by a fire. Thankfully no one was injured, but a number of Nintendo consumers have been affected by the fire.

“We can confirm that on Tuesday 18th November, a fire broke out in the warehouse owned by RepairTech, the company that Nintendo UK uses to fulfil its customer repairs. Nintendo UK only used the warehouse for UK based product repairs and storing of associated repairs equipment, it did not contain stock that would at any point be sent to a retailer for sale to the public. We are pleased to confirm that no one was hurt.”

The firm have also confirmed that they will issue replacements of any hardware/software of customers whose products were damaged.

Football Manager Not Being Released On PlayStation Vita

Studio head of Sports Interactive, Miles Jacobson has revealed that PlayStation Vita gamers may not see another instalment of Football Manager on the handheld console.

“The decision on whether we were going to do another one was always going to be sales-based, and at the moment it’s not looking likely. As a tech experiment it was a brilliant thing to do, being able to have save games going from PC, Mac and Linux to Vita and back again is something that nobody else has done to date. We hope that other people will do it in the future and it is certainly something that we would look at doing again on other platforms, if there are platforms powerful enough for it.”

 

This isn’t a surprise to be honest, seeing as the Vita hasn’t exactly been the most popular console on the market. We expect loads of other developers to give up on it soon.

The Best Way To Purchase Cheap Games

September 30, 2014
 |  Games

Video gaming has always been an expensive hobby, but it’s only getting more costly as time goes on. With next-gen consoles charging up to £20 more than usual, consumers are starting to feel the pinch more and more.

The first thing you can do is wait for the price to drop. Games lose value over time and if you don’t mind waiting for said game, then hold off a bit and keep a lookout for the bargain. Your other option is to wait for a second hand version to be made available in the shop, which usually happens within the first few days.
