PS4/5 Pre-order

[M0rrigan]

This is my first time pre-ordering a game on PS4 and I was curious to know if other people had this happen to them and if it's normal.

So I pre-ordered as you usually buy games in PS store, and now there's a countdown where the price used to be. When I logged in my launcher it made me ask to link the services to my SE account and then I got a mail in game with the bonuses (Palom minion and the exp earrings). So I assumed it was done correctly, but then I went to check my bank account and they didn't charge me but the pre-order on PS store said it required immediate payment, so I'm confused.

How does this work? will they charge me the day Endwalker releases (3rd December)? and if so, what happens if there's not enough money in my bank account because I got charged from something else (like internet bills for example). Because I already claimed the in game bonuses so I'm afraid of one day logging in and finding that my account got suspended for "fraud" of a charge back or something. This is giving me anxiety.

Psn charges you the second you buy it so now you just wait until the 3rd to download and link it to your account. Basically you already paid for you so you got no worrys with psn one reason ps version is better dont have to worry about a thing after

I got charged instantly for EW. They took the 65.66 out of my account instantly. It's gone and should be the same for you. It should be gone. So I dunno.

Did you have any funds in your wallet? It might have used that.

That's what weirds me out. My bank account usually has no money deposited in it and whenever I need to pay something, I deposit the money (like bills every month). I deposited 45 euros for the pre-order and purchased it normally, just like when I buy any other game, but this time my bank account balance still says I have 45 euros and no I don't use the PS store wallet because like I said, I pay directly from the credit card when I deposit money in it. I've never had this happen with any PS purchase but then again I never pre-ordered anything, it was always intant purchases.

Did you check your email inbox for a receipt from Playstation? It might give you some answers.
