has anybody else bought one of the "store picks" games and not had it register for the challenge? It gave me 214 points for buying Inscryption but the challenge shows incomplete

I bought inscryption too and I haven’t even gotten the points for it let alone the challenge

Also for the PS Store picks challenge, will it still count if you insert the physical disc or is Sony just trying to fuck over people who prefer physical media?

 

It says "Grab your next favorite game! Buy one of these select games from Playstation store". I would say it is digital only...

I played Uncharted 1 Remastered and the October check in challenge hasn't popped for me yet.

Just another way they seek to kill the used game market

All this reminds me of the PS Home rewards. People going crazy for something virtual.

And I'm here for it 😂

But PS Home was amazing.

Still say it's a perfect time to give that project another shot.

I can't get the fighting game challenge to clear, I've fought multiple fights online in tekken 7 and nothing.

Agreed! With the PS5 and the VR, Home would look amazing. I miss PS Home.

How many points per dollar do you earn? $20 game gave 241 points?

Assuming Uncharted Legacy of Thieves will work for #3?

Do we have to play all of them or only one?

So all the games I pre-ordered in September before the Stars loyalty program...I should probably ask for a refund and then buy them again so I get credit? If true, that's going to suck but I guess I want the credit/points to count for something. 

 

I have many preorders too, so was thinking about doing the same. I wish PSN had an automated bot to get a refund.

Does any purchase count as a full game purchase for your level? Or does it have to be full price

I bought “SkyTime” for 2.99 and got a full game credit. That said none of my “uncommon” trophies are tracking :/

[yowzagabowza 1,074]

I signed up because why not, but I've played a game two or three separate times today and somehow still haven't been given credit for playing any game. 

I don't know how Sony is keeping track of these challenges, but this is the absolute most basic challenge and it isn't working. 

[BestUsername---- 612]

The tracking is extremely strange but my guess is on server issues. For a couple hours I was getting error messages trying to open PlayStation Stars on the app. I’ve played a couple more fighting games and earned some trophies and the only Campaign that has been completed was the monthly check in. However I was not awarded the collectible on top of my Rare trophies not being recognized.  

[Gerardus94 16]

For me doesn't track anything, i played 3 games, ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 included, didn't unlock play any game challenge neither the world warrior.

I think its said to be 10points for every $1 spent as a ps plys member.

[Cryogenicide_X 490]

When you buy anything from the PlayStation Store and get points for it, how long does it take for the points to go on your account? Is it immediate?

I could be wrong but I think it actually breaks down to every point being worth only 0.4 cents. 

"0.4" is 40 cents. So a game like The Quarry that needs 17500 points would cost $7000?? That doesnt seem right.

No, 0.4 cents is 0.4 cents, not 40 cents. Do you work for Verizon?

0.4 is 40 cents. I think you mean 0.04.
 

Unless, somehow, you mean 40 percent of 1 cent.

Yup. Picture it this way, it's one half of a cent. Not one half of a dollar.

0.4 by itself isn’t anything. It needs units. The person who originally brought up 0.4 literally said “0.4 cents”. That’s not the same as 0.4 dollars.

 

Yes, that means 40 percent of 1 cent. Why “somehow”?

I believe you are taking it too literally when someone said .4 cents. They are saying it as $0.40 I’m sure, not going to do the math if they are correct or not. If they meant .4% of a cent they would have written it like that.

Also when I said “somehow” I meant more like who’s is going to look at .4 percent of a cent for one point worthwhile.

No, they mean what they said, and what they said is right. 1250 points gets you $5 in your PS wallet. In other words, 1250 points gets you 500 cents. So each point gets you 500/1250 = 0.4 cents. Not 0.4 dollars. Not 40 cents. Not $0.40. Not .4% of a cent.  Not 0.04.

 

0.4 cents per point

[DeepEyes7 1,908]

"Sony will reward 10 PS Stars points for every $1 that PlayStation Plus subscribers spend on games."

 

So every point is 10 cents spent in the PSN Store...

 

To get Nier automata at 10.000 points you need to spent 1000 dollars in the store

It says that, but people have confirmed that random newly earned PS3 trophies seem to be counting and at least one person in this thread stated that starting a PS3 game completed the "play a PS4/5 game" objective for them. It's typical PSN jank.

Ah, so they don't even know what they're doing again. Got it. Thanks for the reply! Everything seems to be geared toward purchases anyway so I signed up and will do what seems easy enough and maybe get something at some point.
