WTF? My Playstation Plus subscription just stopped working. (aka Wiz is a moron)

Quote from wizard7926 : I can't figure this out. Just turned on my PS3 and the store is not recognizing my active PS+ account. I only signed up in November sometime for a year sub.. what the eff is going on? Should I chalk it up to store maintenance, or do I need to contact Sony and get a shitstorm brewing? Not happy.. anyone else experiencing issues?

ssj is rolling in his digital grave

My suggestion: calm down, contact Sony, and ask nicely what's wrong, instead of jumping to conclusions.

Yeah, didn't really mean for it to come out like that, was just a little frustrated turning on my PS3 and not being able to play any of my PS+ games because they all reverted back to demo modes.

I'll give Sony a shout and see what's going on. Anyone else experience anything similar, though?

Sent in a request to Sony this morning.. we'll see what they say. Just so peculiar.

No worries. I would be pissed and frustrated too. Unfortunately, this is one of the potential pitfalls of digital distributed/cloud gaming.

Oh yay, a canned response from Sony so far, lol. Essentially:

But yes, I have, sadly.

Well. Turns out I'm a class-A dope.

Thought I had activated my sub in November, when I got in on the $14 Target snafu.. while I had ACTUALLY bought a full year sub from Amazon back at the end of July last year, so my sub had just plain ol' lapsed.

Geezus, I'm a tool.

At least you were man enough to admit it. I'm not sure I would

Agreed, way to at least man up.

Surprising that expiration date wasn't included in your 1st email...

It probably was, honestly. I was just fairly sure that I had only started my year in the Nov/Dec area. Oh well, live and learn.

Sure enough, I found out by following the Sony email's instruction to double check my "Services List" under Account Management, where it told me my year has expired on Jul 31. That clicked in my mind to finally remember I had purchased a full year last summer; checked my email and there it was in my Amazon folder.

Plus, that paperbag smiley is pretty awesome. I remember you using it to talk about the Lions a lot
