Planetside, as of today, is in GAME's 2 for �30 section. (or �20 on it's own)
Core Combat is also out in GAME for �20.

Ah, but you can't subscribe you say? To young to have a credit card? WELL NOW YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE! :thumbsup:

SONY have finaly relented and now not only allow SWITCH payment, but allow SOLO too! (SOLO is SWITCH for under 18s)

A months subscription costs �7.50
Planetside costs �20, or �15 if you buy another game with it.
Core Combat costs �20
You get a month free with the Planetside box

That means for as little as �15 you can can get up and running!



Spread the word amongst your gamming communites. SONY have finaly seen sense!

Simply select global collect when editing yor subscription.



I look forward to see you all fighting for the Vanu as soon as possible. :D

What?

[TeraHertz]

I'd expect an American to say that. Basicly it means Planetside has been opened up to the UK big style.

Switch Payments would have been good enough, but SONY have gone the extra mile and included SOLO. That means any 16 yr old kid can subsribe without having to beg his parents to let him use their credit card, he can use his own SOLO card. SONY don't sell GAME cards here, and you cant order them unless you have a credit card, but if you had a credit card you wouldn't need to order one. I'm 21, and I don't have a credit card. I don't want a credit card, and will never get a credit card unless a REALLY have to. SWITCH does it all. Most 16-26 year old are in the same position.

In short, if enough people hear about it, more UK folk will play.
The things that have turned away alot of people I know are:
Massive download of demo, then a further update.
Poor payment methods.

Now the most important one has been fixed.

[edit] now all SONY need to do is get a Planetside Trial onto PCZone or PC Gamer's coverdisk.

This was a double post..so I'm editing it and...yeah.

[Octavian]

You shouldn't be proud of that! I'll quote what a brit once said, "I'm a well educated British citizen, I am not an overweight, uneducated, low-life American."

I generally try to keep a good sense of humor present when nation-bashing is the topic du jour. However, I like to have that sense of humor returned back.


If you're serious about bashing the U.S., go right ahead. However, some people may not be as good-natured as myself.

Yeah, because there are no fat, stupid, smarmy British people. They're all athletes with multiple diplomas and a lifestyle befitting royalty.

I consider that trolling and I will ban you for it. Not every american knows what a switch card is because *OMG* WE DONT LIVE OVERSEAS! Either explain what it is or dont post.

I knew what a switch card is, people have been askng me about them since before PS came out. Good that they are allowing them :thumbsup:

[Rayder]

I still don't understand what a switch card is. Basically a game card that you buy with a credit card, so you don't have to use your card to pay for PS, even though you need to pay for the switch card which is the same thing as using your credit card? Switch = reduntant way to pay?

[Hoza]

A Switch card is a debit card as opposed to a credit card, meaning that you can only spend what money you have in your bank account.

It uses the credit card infrastructure and so provides most of the same benefits as a credit card while buying stuff - i.e. Visa garentee's secure transactions, and protects you against fraud on the net etc.

Basically it's like carrying electronic cash. Since you're only spending the money you already have and are not borrowing anything from the credit card companies it means that under 18's can have a version of the card which is called SOLO.

I use my switch card to pay for everything, only time I carry cash is if I'm going to the pub :)

Britain has nukes aswell ;)

An American made this fansite so shut up
And they did other stuff, but no point in mentioning it

[Flammey]

*Hits his Macro buttons*

"*Holds up a sign that says, 'Will Gun For Food!!!' "
"I am Canadian"
"Happy New Year"

[Rarzo]

Lets just all move to Canada and be friends...:)

[RagingSpeedhorn]

Britain has nukes aswell ;)


Yeah, but our nukes are at the back of Mr Miggins' potting shed and he's closed the allotment for the winter, so the UK is currently a non aggressive power with limited nuclear capabilities (until the Spring, when Mr Miggins opens his potting shed).

Note for the Americans:

Potting shed : Wooden greenhouse
Allotment : An area of land agricultural divided into small individual plots
Spring : Fall

Ladies, ladies, enough racism thanks.

[Doppler]

Ah so basicly he takes the elitist road because of difrent terminalogy, gee for a guy living in europe he sure doesnt do much globe trotting.

In other news, americans also excell at pulling the brits outa the fire, and generally laying the smack down.

Pulling us out of the fire? Are you jibbering on about WW1/ WW2 again? Hate to tell you but you were late for both those wars, the allies already had them won. the Yanks just hastened things along. The most educated American's realise that alot of what they were taught in school is propaganda bullshit, the rest have at least one american flag in their house.

Talking of fire, just how many of your druggie pilots killed Allied troops this year.

[TeraHertz]

Hmph. No look what you've dragged me into.

You're turing my thread into a flame war. Everyone who wants to discuss politics, bugger off to the relevant forum section.

[Doppler]

Errr I whould expect that the keeping of flags and a sense of nationalism is irrelevant to ones education level. Secondly yes WW1 was more or less won by the time we stepped in, however america's intervention enabled the allies a much speedier recovery and spared them countless deaths so try not to cheapen what we did too much okay mate?

I'm not even going to dignify the pilots comment fo a response for the above reason. After all the british government throughout the ages has always been the pillar of perfection in its military might, I mean keeping those subjugate people down in the massive british empire refined their tallents to a knife edge. After all though I can forgive you your slights, empire withdrawl must really suck.
