Great! Does it show for those who already have a free 1 yr free trial with apple tv(Due to getting an apple streaming device) that this offer stacks?
I tried deleting my reply, but this website wouldn't let me for some reason. I'm not sure about Apple TV owners. It worked for me. I got the 1 year free Apple TV+ when I bought a new iPhone. And Sony gave me 6 more months free.
Did you update the Apple TV+ app yet? I had to update the app on my PS5 for it to work.

Yes you get a message that says current subscription extended. You can also click on your account t in settings and then choose subscription to see the new date.
Great thanks so much..so once I log into my apple account on the ps5 it will say you have received an additional 6 months? Before some were saying it did not work but maybe because everything was not working properly due to the outage
Worked for me! wooo
updated app and saw it on a huge banner next to a Ted Lesso promo
+ 1 the month I just paid for, good until Feb 22 now. That's actually kinda nice since I'm sure by New Years they'll roll out some new shows and content anyways

The app needs to update first, and then the first thing you’ll see is the offer. Click to accept the offer on the logged in account, and then it tells you that you just extended your current subscription by six months.
It wasn't due to an outage. Apple needed to first release an update for their app for it to work. It worked for me once I updated the app.
Great thanks! I have apple tv downloaded on my ps5 but I Never logged into it..so first it will automatically update the app, I log into it and will see the offer
Sorry about that Herrpod. I just noticed you replied before me with the correct answer.
Once the app is updated..then we can log into it(I downloaded the app just never logged into my apple account on it before) and I will see the banner offer on top?
I already had an Apple TV trial that expired and now don't use Apple TV plus. Can I still qualify for another 6 months starting over with my PS5??
I think you were right about the outages. I just saw that on the news. Maybe, that delayed Apple from releasing the updated app on time? Because Apple should have released the updated app before Sony announced their exclusive offer.
Update: I just read this online:
According to user reports on Twitter and Downdetector, the outage is affecting the PlayStation Network.

Yes, just stacked my free year with additional 6 months. Nice.
Be sure to update the app. I also needed to close it once logging in and open again for the offer to appear.
Okay, I’m now confused. I just tried to claim the 6 months free while on my Apple One trial:
If I leave my subscriptions as they are, will I get a refund each month or not? Will I need to cancel my Apple One trial just before it ends?

yeah the PS5 is already set to automatically install updates so I wont have to do anything..but Ive never had the app open before so wasn't sure that once its updated, and I log in if I will see that message appear on the app once I log into my apple account
Why would it matter if it's a new account or one that is expired?? Why would one have to buy a month and the other not??
because the deal says active accounts that are either paid or still on the free trial, no appleone subs and not expired as far as I know. Maybe I’m wrong about expired though I dunno
I'm just the messenger I didn't set the terms and conditions.

I’m guessing this is Apple taking advantage of the PS5s popularity, and not the other way around. Hopefully they also get Sony to add Apple Music to PS5.
Yeah by no means is someone going to get someone to hunker down $400-500 for $30 in subscription savings lol
Its just a way to get gamers to branch off into getting addicted to another subscription I would imagine is the hope.
Follow twitter accounts that post announcements of upcoming restocks (search for "ps5 restock"), and turn on notifications, and then try at the posted times. Rinse/repeat. Took me a couple of weeks (ymmv, obviously). Yes, it's frustrating that, with the chip shortages and pandemic and whatnot, production still hasn't caught up with demand.
