heads up free £22 psn funds

felton1592 · 6 May 2013 at 22:51

Let's look at it this way..

The supply of codes are limited. Sony will have projected the costs of all the codes being handed out, etc. The only problem is that they're going to run down quicker. It's really no loss to Sony if you add it all up. The only hurting thing would be that as the money adds up for one person, they can buy £40-50 releases. Whereas if you restrict £22 per person, the consumer has to find the remaining £18. So I guess there will be losses.

My two cents.

a guy on here said he had done it 6 times, probably even more by now.

say other people are also doing his method, you could see how one guy could easily rack up over £1000 in a day if he wanted to.

i bet somebody out there probably has too, i looked into the emulator, but it looked like a lot of hassle with setting up new google accounts or something in order to do it.

I'm pretty certain someone said that it's only one code per account, so you would just end up with a load of psn accounts with £22 on them.

i'm going to borrow one from work just to test it out... proof of practice sort of thing.

well this took a long time to get abused. no wonder companies are reluctant to give away free stuff.

You can do multiple redemptions, it stacks.

You don't need a new google account each time. You never need to log into a google account.

Whatever happened to rooting devices with that super one click or whatever it's called? It's really complicated to root my 4.0.4 SII and Nexus 7.

Psycho Sonny · 7 May 2013 at 17:12

i have just thought of a method of turning the credit into hard cash, not willing to discuss it though because someone could quite easily make £100+ per hour doing it in cash.

Kreeeee · 7 May 2013 at 17:14

Is the method just to sell the codes (which can be activated on any PSN account) for cash? If it's any more complex than that, then you're wasting your time.

I can see that causing big problems though if (when?) Sony block these codes.

I found countless ways. But they all require effort

it was to use the credit to buy packs on fifa ultimate team.

packs = players

players = coins

100K coins can be sold for £10 usually on ebay.

basically even if they blocked your account you could still use your ultimate team account to sell the coins on.

fugly me backwards... I can't get it to work.. lol
the phone is rooted.. but every time I change it.. reboot.. it changes back..

Kreeeee · 7 May 2013 at 20:34

If it's a physical device then just edit the build.prop manually.

Edit: Looks like they finally cottoned onto the abuse of the system.

slinxy · 7 May 2013 at 20:54

tried that...
I think I know why it ain't working... I think someone flashed it with a custom firmware on it to unlock the phone from the provider. As looking at the firmwares to return the phone back to normal... the name of one firmware kept popping up.

robgmun · 7 May 2013 at 21:27

Damn, got all the way to the code but i got this:

Any ideas?

EDIT - Do it in Wallet!!

Thought about that. Bit crap though.

How?

People were just selling the codes on ebay for £15, no ultimate team middle man stuff.
