Sony Promised 10% PlayStation Store Discount #DTTNEWS

As promised a few weeks back, Sony are making good on their offer for a one-time 10% discount on a single PlayStation Store purchase.

Just detailed on the official PlayStation Blog, the 10% discount is good for PS4, PS3, and Vita, but can only be used for one purchase, so if you have more than one thing to buy, be sure everything is in your cart before you check out and use the discount code. Speaking of the discount code, Sony say it will be available on the PlayStation Store and on Twitter, so we’re assuming it’ll be the same code for everyone, or at least the same code for everyone in a particular region. The discount goes live this Friday at 9.00am GMT and expires 72 hours later on the following Monday.

There is one caveat to the deal: you can’t use it to buy subscriptions (PS Plus, Music Unlimited, etc.) or video rentals. Season passes and all other content on the store is fair game, including pre-orders for future titles.

This is a nice gesture by Sony in the wake of all the holiday downtime, particularly because they’re already extending every active PlayStation Plus subscription by five days later this week, but it would’ve been nice if the discount was active for more than a few days. Anyone who doesn’t want anything available right now might end up missing out on the savings. That said, with the holiday season having just passed, there is quite a bit of decent content on the store right now. And don’t forget that the Resident Evil remaster launches this week on PS4.
