Sony’s upcoming discount code offer will not be applicable towards pre-orders, the company has announced on the PlayStation blog. The code was offered as a means of apology following PSN downtime experienced over the Christmas period.
Other exclusions applicable to the code include PS Plus subscriptions, Music Unlimited, and video rentals, all of which will not be eligible for the 10 percent discount. The discount will run for four days from January 23-26 (starting and ending at 9am Pacific in the US, and 9am GMT in Europe).
Active PlayStation Plus members will receive a five-day extension to their membership as part of Sony’s apology for the downtime. Members will receive an email confirming the extension of their PS Plus membership.
The discount was offered in response to the PlayStation Network outages over the Christmas period, with Sony’s online network inaccessible following a DDoS attack. Lizard Squad, the alleged hacking group behind the attack, recently had its own network compromised.
