Via the weekly update emails? The hell happened to that?

Come on Sony, quit being stingy.

Even when they sent them out, it was through the email newsletter that I swear even if you wanted to receive it, it was always a crapshoot if you did.

Yeah it was pretty nice last year when they sent a bunch of these out. They also did them on that live.playstation site when they would do countdown to launch events for God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, Spider-Man etc.

Hey stingy Sony
Throw us a bone-y
We just want a coupon
We don't want a pony

Hey stingy Sony
I'm going to bemoan-y
Your lack of deals
It's really baloney

Hey stingy Sony
I thought we were homies
But without the coupons
It feels really phony

I started getting the emails again after years and they stopped giving away codes. Such is my luck in life.

The rogue A.I. system that sent those out only to the people it liked probably decided to move on to more important things.

Yeah, I still excitedly check all my PlayStation Weekly Updates seeing if it includes a promo code... Been nothing but disappointing.

I signed up for the stupid-ass weekly letters for those codes and they hardly if ever give them out now. Bastards.

Well, PSN stores in other regions still do coupons frequently. HK store for example, basically every major sale event is accompanied with 10- 15% off coupons. This days of play sale they offered 15% off code on facebook via some mini games.

But yeah, in NA store I think last time I got a code was two years ago and I used it to buy some destiny silver, lol.

The only reason I still open those weekly PlayStation update emails is because of those coupons. Kinda glad the last email didn't have one because I already have a crazy backlog of games.

Oh, you mean the lottery ticket that they would randomly send out to secret email addresses that somehow didn't correlate at all with whether you were getting the rest of their spam?

I don't, that was US only

How does it feel to be a rest of the world peasant now

I'm Canadian, I pretty much got it everytime there was a thread about 20% off coupons. There's also 10% off coupons (not as good) if you ever buy an extra console (I got one when I got a slim on black friday for the bedroom).

Remember when Sony was 2nd place in the console wars and had to at least pretend to care about their customers?

They have to cut corners if they want to even have a hope of being in the best top 100 brands worldwide.

I am signed up for the weekly newspaper.

Every week I get the updates.

Except on those weeks with the 20% coupons. Never got even one

I miss them. Even now when I receive an email from them I'm thinking please let this be a 20% off code and I'm always disappointed.

Partly my fault due to not signing up for related emails, but I never got them.

I assume for those who did receive them, it must be a big feelsbadman moment not seeing one of those hit your inbox for a long time.

This probably isn't the whole reason, but I wonder how much of these coupons were a response to the 20% off games from Best Buy GCU and Amazon Prime. Now that GCU is defunct and Amazon moved to $10 credits on select new games, I guess I'm not surprised Sony has been less forthcoming with these coupons nowadays.

I remember getting a few during those quests where you had to watch a video and shit like that. Put them fuckers to great use! I wish they did more of those this year.

Well damn you north americans

I never got a coupon inside a PS4 (besides the free 14 days PS+ which is only for new accounts) and I literally bought 8 of them
