Buying anything on PSN is dangerous. I was reading the fine print on a PS+ card the other day and it says that even though you're using a prepaid card for the subscription, if you actually have an active credit/debit card on your console, it will automatically set to auto renew on that card. What the fuck? I hope they don't actually enforce that bull shit.

XBL does that also, or it did for the few years I had it, though the trick with XBL is to leave it turned on, then a few days before the year expires ring customer services and tell them to turn it off because you wanna cancel Gold, then they offer you a year at half price.

Never had that happen any time on XBL and I have had a card on there for a majority of my 8+ years owning the console.

This is something added for the PS4 PS+ cards. It didn't used to say that. Idk if Sony actually goes through with it or not but that's downright despicable imho whichever company does it.

the standard is that it's set to auto renew if you have the funds in your psn purse or CC information linked to your account, but that can easily be disabled

it's certainly not a fine move to have the auto renewal activated as a standard

 

@ OP)

That never happened to me, because I double check that I buy what I actually want to buy instead of making false assumptions. The "PSN" icon means that it's a non-retail game, all PS3 games have a "PS3" icon. In Flower's case you could have bought any version, because that's a "Cross-Buy" game, Sine Mora isn't.

" ..and i'm guessing i can't swap the Vita version with the PS3 version..?"

No idea, why don't you ask the Sony support instead?
