Sony Rewards accepts PlayStation Store into its point-y heart
Sony Rewards now extends to PlayStation products and the PlayStation Store, allowing players to earn points for game-related purchases. For every dollar spent in the PlayStation Store, you earn one point – after linking your PSN account to a Sony Rewards account. Earn points by purchasing a Sony thing through online third-party retailers such as Gamestop or Best Buy too, when shopping through the Points Plus site. Points can be redeemed for Sony stuff through Sony Rewards. This is a different approach than the PlayStation Rewards program that Sony ditched in 2011, which was a step-child of PlayStation Plus rather than an integrated points system.
Get $20 in PSN credit, 1,000 Sony Rewards points for convincing someone to buy a Vita
During the month of February, Sony has launched an incentivized referral program that rewards PlayStation 3/Vita owners with $20 of PSN credit and 1,000 Sony Rewards points, provided they successfully convince a friend or family member to purchase a Vita.Your referred friend/family member also receives $20 in PlayStation Network credit, in addition to, like, the Vita they just bought, which makes this whole thing a pretty easy sell for anyone who had already planned on buying a new handheld this month. If you don't know anyone like that, however, might we suggest bribing them with the copy of Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation that you bought with your 1,000 Sony Rewards points?
Sony offering free PlayStation 3 with HDTV purchase
That's right, babies. We've seen Sony play this hand in other parts of our great big world, and now the S-gang is bringing this sweet bacon on home... er, to the States. According to a promotion we've caught wind of, if you get yourself approved for the Sony Visa, then promptly purchase a Sony HDTV at the Sony Rewards store (out of a pool of models from the BRAVIA and SXRD lines), the good folks at Sony will throw a free PlayStation 3 your way. Of course, there's a few hoops you have to jump through, the deal ends on December 31st, and obviously you'll need a half-decent credit score, but if the suits approve your transaction, this is a pretty solid deal. Hit the read link for all the info -- just make sure you read the fine print.[Thanks, Stephen]
