Not so fast, says Sony. In recent days people have discovered they can’t redeem their pre-paid cards to extend their subscriptions, and Sony has confirmed this is intentional… Now, don’t throw those pre-paid cards in the trash just yet. Sony says you’ll still be able to redeem them after the new PS Plus launches, although there will be a complex conversion scheme based on the value of the original cards and the pricing on the new PS Plus tiers. So, for instance, a 12-month PS Now cards will redeem for 365 days of PS Plus Essential, 219 days of PS Plus Extra, or 183 days of PS Plus Premium. You can check out the whole mind-boggling conversion chart, below.
