Just went to Wal-Mart to grab a pre-paid PlayStation Plus card. 12 months for $49.96. Saved myself $10.03.
So, pre-paid cards are unaffected/safe for the moment at that retailer. But, I suggest stocking up before Sony/Wal-Mart catches on. |

Weekend News Edition
Rumor going around the net recently involves the developer of No Man Sky, Hello Games, has either shut down or might be in the process of shutting down.
Fueling the speculation are photos of the studio looking like it had been abandoned and supposedly both the game's producer and studio's community manager left the company shortly after the game's release. Some counter claims includes people saying the developers are just working from their homes and the city of Guilford having lots of buildings looking similar but are still in use by companies. |
