PlayStation — Terms of Safety

I reported somebody in a message chat on PS Network, insulting my gaming abilities and using terrible words in every single message. I respond with one bad word, and I get my account suspended for 3 days?!?! This is outrageous! 3 days just because I said one bad word?! Why are you doing nothing to discipline the other person? I am completely annoyed and mad, and I am considering never playing any games on your network ever again.

    PlayStation — Charge back ban

    My account has been banned due to a charge back after my financial intuition caught the double charge for a yearly subscription. I have been unable to file the charge back ban report due to receiving an error message reading my ID and sign-in ID not being recognized. I have tried calling customer support, massaging via twitter, and all other forms I can find to contact and resolve this issue. I am a disabled US Veteran and live on a monthly income and have now lost all access to every game I have ever purchased due to this and I am not happy about this.

      PlayStation — PlayStation network

      Was kicked out my account and after I made contact with the a representative they said they couldn't help me. So I asked them to cancel my PlayStation network membership and they cut the line of communication. Transcript is saved. Gravely disappointed in them. I want my money back for the PlayStation network that I paid for in advance.
      And I'm not getting a ps5 now for me or my sibling.

          PlayStation — store

          I purchased a game for my nephew on July 6 for his PlayStation 4. In the week following that he was able to purchase nearly$300 worth more without my permission and without having my password. That was my car payment. I am very upset that this was so easy for him to do and think I should be reimbursed. That is really all I needed to say but I'm being told that I need to say more so I'll go on to say that I do not like the way you are continually coercing children to "need" money to buy weapons, skins etc

            PlayStation — call of duty

            The game updates more then I can play. 1 or 2 updates a week. This is terrible. They should update over night. Twice a week for at least an hour each time is a bit much. I believe we should get some of our 60 dollars back we paid for the game and some of the 60 dollars we paid to be online playing the game every year. I have 500 dollars into a game with the operating system, game and yearly membership and I cant play half the time. This is a bit much. Very disappointed in with the new game.

              PlayStation — psn account

              Could not use my PayPal or credit cards on my account over the week. Called PS customer support they tried to tell me the issue was with my bank. I add several other credit cards and renewed my paypal. None worked. So I use a prepaid card. Today I found that my account had been banned due to unusual activity on my account. (I added more credit cards). Now I have to wait up to 48 hours for them to unlock my account. PS customer support does not care i have been without my account for three days and will be another 2 more days. They have lied to me and wasted so much time. Very bad customer service.

                PlayStation — unprofessional

                Everything was bad for me from the very beginning. one month ago I contacted their customer service and since then my issue hasn't been resolved yet... Don't know what exactly takes them so long. If they have questions they could have asked me, I'd be glad to assist. But seriously, why the service is so bad? Their attitude didn't impress me much...

                    Playstation Network — unauthorised payments and suspended account

                    I Entered my Visa Debit Card details onto my son's play station to access PlayStation Network as my son is 15. PSN assumed I was the primary user and my card details were left active on the system with no advice regarding removal. My son was able to make 56 purchases over a three month period totalling over £2, 000 financed by my card and was not asked to confirm his I.D. or provide security information regarding the card. When speaking to PSN, I was told the account was in my son's name so wouldn't discuss details until my son was present, only to be told it was my fault for entering my details in the first place. The same evening I received an email from PSN saying - I quote "Your child's playstation account has been suspended from accessing the PlayStation Network as we've identified that some of the details entered for the account was false. Before we can reinstate the account we are going to need you to take ownership of the account" My son admitted to PSN he had entered a false dob to the account (at no point was any form of ID requested). I have written to PSN again with the advice of the CAB and keep getting brushed off. I am left without money to live never mind Christmas, serious relationship problems with my son and an expensive PS4 which is now totally useless. It is clear to see from the above information that I was never a PSN account holder, but my card details were still used. I question why PSN allowed my card to be used without authorisation from myself or the three digit code being entered? PSN say false information was entered (my son's DOB) which makes me even more curious as to why my card was linked to an account holder old enough to have their own bank account? At no time was any confirmation of ID, age etc requested. I did not authorise these transactions, nor have any knowledge of this. I bank with Halifax who told me it was my own fault for entering my card details on the console in the beginning. The fact that irregular spending to the sum of over £2, 000 in a three month period, to an unknown payee (PSN) seems to be irrelevant to my bank.

                          ok you can't press charges against sony for a hacker.
                          And finding a hacker is really difficult you can't it too be resolved in a day or two. So sit there don't go online until they email all that have a playstation account that "some" of the problem have resolved.
                          And I know how you feel one of my accounts was hacked and then had been deleted do too harassment of other players I explained that I hadn't been on for 2 months and they solved in about 2 weeks. So good luck

                        Resolved                         Sony Play Station 2 — not repairable

                        Sony Play Station 2 was bought in April 2010 from an authorized show room and gifted to family members who reside in town. It was working well and due to non availability of PS2 DVD in the town, it was well packet and kept aside. After three months, it was opened and found that it is not working. Each time, it is switched ON, it was showing system configuration and repeated showing NO DISC. Since there was no Authorized Service Center, it could not be get corrected before the warrant period. After moving to Chennai, it was shown to Authorized Center. They said, it can not be repaired and need to be send to Delhi for reconciliation. After one week, they called and said to pay rs.1797 for getting new piece. The PS2 was rarely used and keeping it idle for short period resulted in damage. I feel, the other electronic product like Onida are much far better than SONY. I have switched off my ONIDA TV ( after using for more than 5 years) for almost two years and even now it was working well. I feel regret in purchasing a product from SONY

                            I am a black woman that is a loyal customer to the Goodwill outlet located in roseville, I shop there everyday for shoes and clothes which i resale at my boutique. There is one particular supervisor named Katie that treats me like a thief anytime i go to return something defective which their store policy says return items with tags still on and with ur original receipt within 7 days. One day i bought a playstaion with a yellow tag thats said 19.99 and i paid 19.99 at the register unfortunately for me the item was not working, so i returned it the next day with my receipt and the tags on the item intact. Katie was the manger around as usual she scanned the item and the recipt and then took off the yellow tag, lo and behold there was a green tag underneath that read 14.99 which i did not know anything about. she returned the item but made me look stupid infront of other customers like i swapped the tags. i will never shop there anymore becasue it is not my duty to be pulling odd every tag to see if ther is another tag underneath.

                            Dear Sir,


                            1.
                            I have purchased a Sony play station
                            portable (Sony PSP) model E1004 from M/s Indiatimes Shopping, a Times of India Group company on
                            23.4.2013 and the item was delivered to me on 26.4.2013 by Bluedart
                            couriers vide their bill No. [protected]. The invoice no. for the above sale
                            was a2z/13-14/N/DL/[protected] DATED 23.4.2013 (Exhibit no. 1). As per the
                            warranty booklet, the item carries a warranty for one year from the date of
                            purchase.


                            2.
                            After four months of
                            use, its home button was not working. Without this, closing a game and coming
                            to the menu was not possible. So it was not used for next few months. On
                            enquiry, it is found that this is a common problem for Sony PSP. In Aluva
                            itself we could locate 4 such complaints. They advised us to contact the
                            service centre as they got it replaced. No modification is done on the machine
                            and we used only original games purchased from sony dealers.


                            3. We have submitted the Sony PSP to the Sony authorised
                            service centre, M/s. Madonna Electronics, 26/192, Koonamthai, Edapalli Toll,
                            Cochin – 24 on 17.1.2014 vide their job sheet no. J40128356 (Exhibit no. II). Mr.
                            Mathew, Front office technician, told me that this cannot be repaired here and
                            that I will be getting a replacement. He also said that colour or model cannot
                            be guaranteed as they will send the available item. He also told that it may
                            take two weeks. I agreed to this.


                            4. In
                            the job sheet, they have mentioned ‘out of warranty’ even though it was well
                            within the warrant period. I found it only after reaching home and called them
                            back. Mr. Mathew, Front office technician, who took in the item told me that it
                            is the standard procedure for them. I find it highly irregular that such an
                            entry is made on the job sheet as it may lead to the denial of warrant for the
                            item.


                            5. After
                            2 weeks I called them. He told me that there some problem regarding the warrant
                            as it is purchased online. He said he is waiting for their email message. He
                            promised that he will call back. As I did not get any calls, I called back
                            after one week. He repeated what he said earlier and asked me to bring the
                            original carton in which the item was received. I took it to them promptly on
                            the next day. He scanned all sides and told me that it is genuine and that he
                            will send it to the sony office. The cove is printed in India, as the price is
                            given in Indian rupees. Also the cover contains a warranty sticker. A scanned
                            image of the cover is attached (Exhibit III). They said they will inform me
                            when the decision is made.


                            6. I
                            have made several phone calls to them, but could not get a precise reply. Then,
                            after one month, after several phone calls they said warranty is not valid as I
                            have purchased it from an online shop. Online shops are not authorised sellers
                            for the sony psp.


                            7. Now
                            nearly 35% of total sales in electronics items are through online. It is a convenient
                            and hassle free mode of purchase. As far as the item is genuine, and no
                            modification had been made on it, M/s Sony India cannot wriggle out of warranty
                            obligations. If it not authorised, M/s Sony should not sell any of their
                            products through online stores. As of now all their products including TV,
                            camera, handicam, laptop, PlayStation are available on many online stores.


                            8. I
                            have purchased it for my 14 year old son, as present for getting good marks. This
                            incident has created tremendous amount of aggravation and discontent in his
                            mind. It has also created a lot hardship for me.


                            9. Considering
                            the above facts, I request you to replace the damaged item at the earliest.


                            Thanking you

                            Yours Sincerely

                          Playstation Network — defective equipment

                          Playstaion has the worst customer service! They sold me a defective controller and they will not help at all to replace it. They only want to find ways to charge me even more and i already payed twice for my system because they said it was out of warranty, after 8 months!A one year warranty is no good after 8 months. Crap!!! They seriously need to learn to work with the cosumer to actually help, instead of giving a run around and just *** crap. I'm going to contact the president of the company to seek a refund and special offer from the company. Otherwise i will seek further gaming with X Box.
