Like others I had some reservations using this, however there was no need. I have just got 12 months membership for £10 less, which is a noticable discount. Not quite as speedy setting up as others suggest, but it is quick all the same. Once purchased you receive an email. Click the link and you then need to add your mobile to verify. This sends you a code, which you put into the webpage and that generates the PSN code there and then. Go into the PlayStation store and scroll down the bottom to 'redeem code'. Input code excluding the '-' and you are done. Go in and check your subscription and all is well. So I recommend this to others
