GBRemote broke within a year which they… Remote broke within a year which they confirmed was under warranty and broken. They made me pay for shipping to send it to fix or replace - got an email they received it and within an hour it was being sent back fixed?! Nope they just sent back the same unfixed remote!! Poor kid waited weeks - never dealt with such shadiness.

GBThe worst customer service The worst customer service I've ever experienced, treat their customers like numbers. Didn't do anything to address a complaint of rampant online abuse on their network, just kept trying to sell things instead of investigating the complaint

GBHorrible experience with customer service Horrible experience with their customer service. I purchased a game that I couldn't get to work so I tried contacting Sony. They have no way of reaching a real person and it got so bad I had to contact my credit card company to issue a chargeback. It's really sad since Sony is such a huge global corporation. They seriously need to get their act together. I don't care how big you are, this kind of treatment to your customers will only bring you down in the future!

GBAbsolutely Terrible Customer Support Processes I was told my issue would be escalated, turns out escalated is just the same email sent over 5 days later that you can't even reply to. Absolutely terrible customer support!

GBMany happy years with Sony since 2007 Many happy years with Sony since 2007 – those were the days! Now, it all feels a bit like a right rip-off. Here's the rub: you need a subscription just to play online, and all these so-called "free" games in your subscription are just trials. That means if PlayStation yanks a game from their library, even if it's installed on your console or external hard drive, they can block you from playing it altogether – even if you've forked out for in-game purchases. By their reckoning, all the games you access with a subscription are simply trials because you only have them as long as they're on the service (limited time). There's no point in adding anything to your library as you'll likely lose access to most of them eventually. You'll just see a padlock symbol because PlayStation decided to bin the game off their subscription. It doesn't matter if you're halfway through or splashed out on in-game stuff; this all feels like a ploy to pressure folks into buying the games again. This is a far cry from other gaming companies that prioritise you owning the games. They let you keep playing installed games even after they're removed from the store or subscription service, like with Game Pass. Unfortunately, I learnt this the hard way. After years of loyalty and paying what feels like extortionate prices for tech and games, I feel utterly mugged off and frankly, scammed.
