Seeing as someone posted a twitter about there being a refund, isn't the whole point moot? OP should at least change title as to not mislead people?

The twit was only posted 3 hours ago; give the OP time change the title. 

Pretty obvious response from SCE really: they want to encourage as many future digital/direct pre-orders as possible since it takes manufacturing, distribution and retail channels out of the loop. 

Of course, when the terms of purchase clearly list specific terms, they're as much bound as they are protected by the terms of agreement upon a transaction. Kind of unrealistic to simply expect those terms to be backtracked upon, even though it was pretty predictable that they would. 

Why, nobody gave Sony more than a day to fix the refund :)
