silver_pigy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) So as I'm sure you all know there is a sale going on right now for games that came out in 2013. Here is the kicker though. A while back I downloaded the free trial of Persona 4 with PS+. Now that it is on sale I wanted to check the price, and since it technically said I had already purchased it since I got the 60 min trial it didn't show the price. I clicked the download button hoping to see the price. I still have PS+ and the game started downloading and I became a little confused. I waited for the download to finish then looked at the game. I now have the full game downloaded onto my hard drive with no restrictions what so ever! I have no idea what happened for that to happen but I am not complaining. Go check yourselves to see if you guys can get any games for free. Edit: Just realized that exploiting this system could possibly have consequences attached. I did it by accident and won't be exploiting it. If you want to do this then by all means go for it. If you don't want to from fear of punishment, allow me to be your test subject. I'll update if anything happens to my account from doing this. Edited February 26, 2014 by silver_pigy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitsuneChaos Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 This is a trick that's been circulating for a bit now; supposedly gives out freebies on occasion on the PS3 (and supposedly the PS4 as well, but I've seen no actual evidence of this). While part of me wants to exploit this maliciously, another part wonders if they'd ever take actions against those whom exploited the flaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get reprimanded because of this you will be sure to hear about it. I don't plan on abusing the system though. I did this one completely by accident. I would love to go and do that but as you said they will probably notice and ban me or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that you'll be fine with just Persona 4 Arena; when it's one title, it's almost guaranteed to be a mistake. But if someone winds up just so happening to have the entire Free Trial library...? But yeah -- sorry for being vague. The process is essentially: Download PS+ Free Trial version -> Cancel Trial -> Go to that title's Game Page -> Purchase tile now reads as "Purchased" or "Download" rather than the price. Saw a video for it a week or two ago; surprised that PSN Maintenance hasn't caught on yet. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skateak Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Press triangle and go to information and see when it expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Well, technically you can only do that with PS+ so you didn't get it for "free". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Jedi More Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) It doesn't works for everyone apparently, I noticed about that before watching the youtube video and it's just a glitch in my opinion cause after 60 minutes you receive the purchase message. (Want free games? tell someone to buy it for you) = My secret Edited February 26, 2014 by starhope39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maceoo2011 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 will this still work if you download the trail now that the sale is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
