Sony Offering PS5 Owners An Extended Six Month Free Trial of Apple TV+

Tone deaf AF Sony. I'm not a console gamer, but clearly Sony needs to focus on PS5 retail availability rather than simply contenting itself with throwing another log (or maybe in this case 'twig') on the scalper-exploitative-douche-bag bonfire that continues to, more or less, rage out of control. There may not be a 'good' solution to the problem, but I would like to see at least a tiny bit of 'try harder / try different' to disrupt the current situation.

I dont see what one has to do with the other.

Demand is through the roof, they're still dealing with chip shortages, scalpers are rampant, and engineering is probably working on a v1.1 to skate around part shortages asap in their best interest to get these machines in consumers' homes... but they can coin a deal for some sub perks. It's not like supply chain is in control of services

You’ll be waiting awhile. It has not been renewed and the creators have said there’s no plans for a third season yet. The way the second season ended, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was over unfortunately.

I disagree. I think this move in particular is designed to increase the audience for Mythic Quest. There's no way they end it at the end of Season 2 - they named the finale "TBD" specifically to keep the viewers off guard.

Sadly, only for PS5 owners in the US. Might want to add that to the article.

Supposedly it is for U.K. (Maybe others) too, although nothing coming up on my PS5 yet.
Here is the Sony U.K. page for the deal:

Same. I couldn’t stack either. I bought my iPhone 11 2 weeks before I got my 16”MBP. I took advantage of the 1 year free AppleTV Plus using the iPhone. When I tried to stack it using the Mac purchase it didn’t allow me to. Makes sense.

Was lucky enough to notice when PS5s were available at Target back in January and snagged one. Is this good for a year from purchase or a year from now? I'll redeem it close to when Mythic Quest has a new season...

It’s not for 1 year. It’s for 6 months.

I think you're right.

This is from Sony's website:

"Redeem your offer between now and July 22nd, 2022...."

I have not tried it yet but on sonys web site it says that if you are already on a free trial of apple tv it will combine but so far its not? I bought apple tv 4K streaming device a few weeks ago already activated my 1 yr free trial so for anyone else that tried stacking does not work?
 
Wait, can non-celebrities and people who don’t want to pay 2x market value actually buy a PS5 now?
 
I will say this: at least the scalping prices on PS5 consoles is seemingly dropping. The going rate for a PS5 console (disc - new/sealed) around here was around $1k last year. I'm seeing them advertised now for $700. $200 markup (or $165 if you include local sales tax) is definitely approaching palatable levels for me.

It doesn't work for me yet. I got the 1 year free Apple TV+ when I bought a new iPhone.

not sure if its due to the outage that is going on with a lot of companies or the promotion does not work with those who already have free trials(Even though on sony's site it says you can combine) I guess we just have to wait and see

Is this what you read on Sony's website?:

"If you have a current Apple TV+ free trial or are already subscribed, you can redeem this offer."

Are you not eligible if you’re on a free trial of Apple One?

That's what it sounds like. This is from Sony's website:

"If you've subscribed to Apple TV+ through a bundle offer like Apple One, you are not eligible to redeem this offer."

But what if I cancelled my trial, do you think I could then claim the offer?
