So I posted before about how my PS4 worked perfectly until a recent mandatory PSN update bricked it and Sony said it was out of the 1 year warranty so it would cost $149 to repair.
So I mulled my options for two weeks, deciding what I wanted to do. A week into that I got an automatic renewal charge for PSN on my paypal account. I have no idea how or why my paypal account was used for the automatic renewal, but I declined the payment and had the charges reversed because (1) I did not authorize that (2) my PS4 was broken and I had not used PS+ in over a week (3) I did not intend to renew PS+ as the experience of the bricked PS4 and poor Sony customer service soured me.
However, I do have about $500 worth of digital games that I paid for and own for the PS4 and I do enjoy playing their single player campaigns....so today I went and picked up a brand new PS4 from gamestop because they offered me $200 trade in for my bricked PS4.
So I bring the new PS4 home, hook it up and then go to sign into my PSN account and it would not sign in. I tried password recovery and that did not work....so I went to chat support and they told me my PSN account was BANNED for declining the renewal charges for PS+.
I told them I no longer wanted PS+ and choose not to renew it. However, I did want access to play the digital copies of games that I rightfully own and they told me NO. They said I can not have access to my digital library unless I pay them $49.99 to renew PS+
I asked to speak with a supervisor and they told me the same...so all my digital copies of GTA V, Drakes Remastered, NHL16, etc, etc, etc, etc are all not accessible to me until I pay $49.99 for PS+! I find this business practice from Sony to be unethical and a very disgusting Strong Arm tactic. Its one thing to take away PS+ freebee games, but to deny me access to MY LIBRARY THAT I PAID FOR!!! WOW!
I am completely disgusted....so I boxed the brand new $429 Limited Edition COD BLOPS III PS4 that I just bought back up and returned it to gamestop.
I have an XBONE and am not sure if MS does this type of stuff the same way these days, but back in the red ring days I remember MS treating me very, very well. So I am done with Sony and PS4....they can choke on all the digital copies of my games that I can no longer play even though I own. When there is a class action lawsuit I will be the first to sign up.....
Sooo pissed off right now!
