Sony has updated its PlayStation Plus FAQ page and is clamping down on loopholes that gave users early discounts on its upcoming PlayStation Plus premium service. It’s also stopping the activation of PlayStation Plus and now vouchers for current subscribers until after its new service rolls out in June. There’s even an official conversion chart showing the value of those vouchers for its upcoming services.
Sony announced plans to restructure PlayStation Plus into a new three-tiered service to further compete with Microsoft’s and Nintendo’s services. Users began stacking prepaid subscriptions to PlayStation now, Sony’s cloud streaming service on consoles and PC, hoping the $ 59.99 per-year service would convert to the upcoming $ 119.99 per-year PlayStation Plus premium.
Sony is keeping people from redeeming prepaid vouchers until after the PS plus relaunch. Only users who are n’t already subscribed can redeem a one, three, or 12-month prepaid card.
A month of PlayStation now wo n’t buy you a month. Sony says you’ll still get’the length of time equivalent to the monetary value of your original voucher’.
