Son’s birthday today. Got him Spiderman 2 to play.
PSN: But wait there’s a trial did you want that?
Me: No I just want to buy it thank you.
PSN: I think you’d like to try before you buy wouldn’t you?
Me: Can’t I just select the standard version and buy it??
PSN: nope
Me: haha, I’ll use the app!
PSN: Trial?
Me: Aarrgghh!
PSN: 🤭
Me: Fine let’s do the trial it and try from there…
PSN: 😀
Me: Right then click … to select version…
PSN: No
Me: Eh?
PSN: Nope
Me: FFS
Eventually managed to purchase it via store website, including several prompts to open links in the app. It’s been like this for years apparently. Some people end up in a situation where they manage to buy but it still thinks they have a trial.
