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 and subscription payment
I am very disappointed with your customers services; you requested for my son PlayStation to be send to your repairs service, because the device couldn't do the update. We waited for 3 months now, you never send back the PlayStation; you did acknowledged that you lost it, and you are going to send a replacement one. So, since last December, we never enjoy the PlayStation and all expensive games we bought and downloaded from your network.
You don't have no right to suspend or to charge us for all these 4 months we stayed without the PlayStation. My son did not enjoy the last Christmas as he planned with his friends and family.
You did not respect and honorable your engagement and the contract we had signed with you.
This is why I am asking the compensation and the repayment of all my purchase made since last November 2018.

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.
online game play!
Well this is really simple. I have been a PlayStation only player for the past 8 years. Before that I had Xbox also. My now wife learned how to play on PlayStation. Now years ago only Xbox charged for online service, while PlayStation did not. So for a period of time even though PlayStation servers online play was not quite as good or reliable, there was an acceptance of slightly inferior service for the trade off of free. Now accounts online are $60 dollars . online game play is just as bad if not worse than ever. Games can't be shared with other accounts in the family. When I do play online for cod3, or try to; with my wife the lag is unreal. If I don't play in her game we can both play fine. So $120 a year to have online service. And I can't play with the one person I want to play with. There is no longer an excuse for crappy servers. YOU ARE GETTING PAID NOW, USE THE MONEY TO GIVE YOUR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY PAY FOR! I'm sure I am not alone when I say if this is how the service is going to continue I will buy a PlayStation style Xbox controller (if need be) and swap consoles and service completely and permanently . PlayStation can brag about superior graphics overall quality of system or whatever.. But when we can't even connect, to online to play the games than all that is worthless!
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.
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...
ps network
Holding my PSN account to ransom including all my digitally bought games and online server because I charged back for a service I did not receive.
I cannot even begin to describe how infuriated I am with Sony and EA right now, but I will try!
if at all possible i would give them a zero. I have been trying to get the bundle for 2+ weeks and have not been able to. I have been getting pushed around from customer service to customer service each and every day i have tried. I have been a sony playstation fan since it came out and now i feel i will not work with playstation ever again
Get your heads out of your ### and fix the chat party issues, im really sick of getting booted out of my own party. Come on and fix it, i would hate to switch to xbox cause it wont be fixed, thanks
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.
Hackers
PlayStation network doesn't do anything about people hacking why its against the law in every state and country to hack i report people and that doesn't work i send PlayStation network a grief report and they still don't do anything if this keeps happening i will press charges against PlayStation network you cant let people hack so ###ing do something about it! I play the PlayStation 3 for fun why is it fair to play against hackers. I read the privacy policy settings 1 big problem if you guys were using the police as a third party like you guys say why is nothing being done.

Recently people are using lag switches to cheat in cod world at war its getting worse nearly every game i play on world at war now has a lagger everybody's connections are down to single red bar except the lag switch user which is full the game gets jumpy and you can shoot all day at opposition without getting a kill is there anything you can do to rectify this please i am a serious gamer and this sort of cheat is unacceptable i have paid good money i have all maps for cod world at war and to have this lag cheat at every turn is getting boring.
i recently tried to sign in my playstation network account "juicesaulrod1" and then there was an error and then it said ps3 is under maintnence. i am wondering if anyone knows how to fix this or what this is? please let me know!
p.s. the error is known as Error 80710A06.
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
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
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
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.
playstation store offers the wipeout game and inFamous game free of charge to members. They are charging 13.99 for wipeout and i can't even find infamous
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
Dr. Jacob Elias

What does your color have to do with this?
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.
Please do something to get rid of all the people who are using Mods and Hacks online, they are ruining the fun and spoiling the competition of all the games for everyone else .. especially on the Call Of Duty servers
cant thank you all enough after working all day in the sun I come home to watch some stuff on Netflix of which I pay for only to be told that I cant I have to login to playstation network I try it gives me garbage about updating password as security measure then says ill get an email in 24 hrs I cant watch any movies I stored on a separate hard drive as it says same crap about signing into your network so basically I have a 350 doller pos that I cant do anything with till you allow me to update whatever password of which I do not want updated to begin with I would have never ever ever bought this system if I knew this was going to be all this I have movies I purchased on amazon of which I cannot login through my ps4 to watch do to this nonsense I'm so damn mad about this crap right now it just made me want to sell the system and go back to xbox
selling broken items
i have bought a ps3 today at about 8 oclock...keep in mind i spent 560 dollars on it and i bought games for it...get home hook it up and it will not take a disk at all i have tried every disk i have non it will not take any...so i then called playstation support and they tell me to take it back to the store nothing they could do about it..i mean come on i just bought it and have the reciept...still nothing...so now i have to wait until 10 am tomorrow to take it back...i bought it at best buy in hot springs arkansas...then i call the store and they r closed of course so to late today...sucks when u pay almost 600 dollars for something and can not even use it...i think i should be compinsated or something for all the money i have lost...if u buy something brand new it should work straight out of the box...if i wanted something broken or used i would have went to a pawn shop...
no i didnt return it because they wanted to send it back to playstation. and im not going to do that because if you look up playstation on here u will see that people dont ever get them back and never get the money back. so finally we figured out what was wrong with it and fixed it our selfs. but best buy did not want to give us all our money back or let us change it out. they wanted us to send it in to playstation. its just that there are 2 versions of the playstation 3 80 gig one the old one is better then the new ones. and they sell the new ones for 500 dollars when it shouldnt be that much because it does not have all the options like the old one but i dont care anymore i got it taken care of
yes i know but they only give u 14 days also their are 2 versions of the ps3 and the old one is the best one and they are the ones u can do everything .and another thing u send it in and u will never see it again check out some post on that and u will find out
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
That doesn't make any sense. You bought it - it was defective - you returned it the next day for a new one. Right?
What was the problem?
wow, so it didn't work right out of the box and you want compensation.
-how about knowing that best buy will replace it for you?
-the PS3 probably traveled over [protected] miles till it reached the store. Anything could've happened.
-please use common sense next time
Refusal to repair PS3 under warranty
I am a retired Police Officer and now reside in Kefalonia, Greece. In December 2017 I bought a Sony Playstation 3 for my 26 year old son. I bought the playstation from an electrical/computer shop in Argostoli, the capitol of Kefalonia. After 4 months the PS3 would not read any discs so I took the playstation back to the shop where I bought it, and the manager packed the PS3 into a box and I took the playstation to Speedex couriers in Argostoli.
On 16th may 20008 the PS3 was sent to the Sony Playstation Service Centre on mainland Greece. Their telephone number is [protected]. Roughly five weeks ago I had the manager of the shop where I had bought the PS3 speak to the service center and they told the manager that a would receive a new PS3 to replace the faulty one but I would have to wait until the end of june, or beginning of july 2017 because they were out of stock.
On 4th July 2017 I again went back to the shop where I bought the playstation and the manager again spoke to the sony service center but this time they said that the security seal on the Ps3 was broken and had invalidated the warranty.
This machine was not interfered with in any way by either me or my son, and I am outraged that nobody has made any attempt to speak to me about this. I do not intend to let this matter drop, and will take the matter through the courts if necessary. On one occasion when I tried to speak to someone in the Service center myself, the person simply hung up the telephone because they had difficulty in understanding me.
I would like someone in authority to make the service center repair my sons playstation, Sony is a big company and should not want to receive negative press about their goods. Its taken seven weeks for someone to come back to me with what amounts to awful customer service, and a deplorable end to something that should have been put right weeks ago.
I suffered six heart attacks two years ago, and quite frankly I could do without any unnecessary stress caused by issues like this.
Yours sincerely, Ray Benson.

Playstation store always refuses my money i wish i went with xbox, this has been a problem for years and you do nothing all your doing is deterring me from ever spending money on playstation store, how much have you lost out on because of this just fix it and take my money.
In 2017 I purchased a PS3 in Panam. A few weeks ago, the console presented some problems. As a Sony consumer, I took it to the Sony Repair Center in Panam. For my surprise, Sony Panam told me that they cannot repair this console in Panam and I should send it to Europe (Italy or Spain). I sent several emails to Sony Panam without any answer.
I believe that Sony believes that I should throw away my PS3 and buy a new one, cause the support I had was totally terible!
No solution from Sony USA, Japan and Panam. Think twice before buy it!
Purchased Games Online but for wrong Game System by mistake. Called Sony Customer Service but will not provide refund because it is in terms and conditions. I understand that they need to do this to protect them, but customers do make mistakes and we just paid over $500 for the game system and another $50 for games that we now can't use. Very upset and now going back to the store to return the game system. So upset... it's like going to the movies and buying to many tickets and them telling you can't have a refund for the ticket.
Purchased a PS3 when it first came out: 550$
Purchased several games, controllers, and various accessories: 150$
After 2 years of use the graphics module malfunctioned making games unplayable repair cost: 130$
1 Year and a half later blu ray disc laser malfunctioned no warranty: 130$
After all this and speaking to various customer reps and their supervisor explaining to them I am unhappy, will not buy another Sony product, and 2 repairs in less than 10 years is unacceptable the attitude I received was: WE DON'T CARE!
This and hearing that Sony's software patches or the video game designed for ps3 called Blackops might be causing this latest malfunction in my ps3. Still the attitude received by Sony is they do not care about their customers and do not stand behind their products.
DO NOT BUY BAD QUALITY SONY JUNK! ESPECIALLY THE PS3!
this is a copy of a letter i am about to send to sony.
the basis of it is this, i had a faulty ps3, i called the consumer line and they replaced it via parceline courier, then all of a sudden weeks later parceline come back while im not there and harras my 13 year old little sister for a ps3 there meant to pick up, my sister not knowing any differant gives them my perfectly fine ps3, now i cannot get it back, both parties are passing liablity for the mistake. please can you help me.

Dear Sir - Madam
Today my 60 GB play station 3 was taken from my house without my consent by a parceline courier following a mix up by you customer services team. When I contacted Parceline they told me that I could go and collect it, however when I arrived at their depot I was told that Sony told them not to release it to me. I contacted the customer services line and was then told that parceline would be releasing it back to me within the hour, however then parceline told me they could not give it to me as your consumer service team told them not to release it. On every occasion today the 1st of April 2017 that I spoke to either the customer service line or parceline, each party was passing the responsibility back and forth, four different phone calls with consumer services I was told that there were going to release it, and that a mistake had been made by some one, in fact I was told by the Sony consumer support line that it was meant to be a delivery instead of a pick up. Wires have been crossed some where along the line and I am still without my play station. Today I have lost over £70 in work losses phone calls and petrol also the distress my 13 year old sister has be caused by this as she was the one confronted by the very rude parceline driver in this incident. If I was at home when he arrived this would never have happed but unfortunately I was in work at the time, besides I was not even contacted by any of the parties to be told that someone was coming.
Finally I was contacted by a MR Richard Allen from the consumer support line for Sony who told me they were investigating the matter and he would get back to me ASAP,
Firstly I would like to know what the hell is going on and where the hell is my ps3, I want it back including the game which was inside and the 8 GB memory stick that was in the front. I am going to take legal action as effectively Sony or parceline has stolen my property, I have spoke to my solicitor and the South Wales Police and have been told the a mistake made your consumer services have made you both liable. A copy of this letter will be sent to the south Wales echo, the daily mirror and the sun news papers also to citizen’s advice and my local labor councilor.
I have been a valued Sony Customer for many years purchasing brand new consoles every time they are released and never had a problem like this. I am furied at the lack of communications and unprofessional courtesy I have received from both parties involved. I would like this matter dealt with right away as the stress and problems this matter has caused.
I’m not sure what mistakes you have made ordering my perfectly working Play station 3 to be taken away but it’s totally unacceptable. I would like to be contacted by email as soon as this letter is read, so a phone call can be arranged with someone of higher Authority.
