I bought the deluxe version of Assassin's Creed II today on PSN but my Playstation thinks it's the trial version. Apparently when Sony was "welcoming back" returning members with a free month of Playstation Plus, I had downloaded the one hour trial of AC2 but never played it. Now that I have paid for the actual game, I am stuck with a trial version. I contacted Sony, and they say they are going to refund my money in less than 7 days, but I'm annoyed because today is my only day off, and planned on playing today. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a workaround like maybe deleting my now expired trial and redownloading? The game does not appear in my downloads but the 2 downloadable content packages that came with the deluxe version are there. Please help! I'm itching to play some AC2.

Maybe playing through the 1 hour trial might work. I don't know, but that's what triggers the, "Hey, you should pay us money now" thing.

@MooseyMcMan:

I already played through the trial and am now locked out of the game I paid for, which is why I called Sony.

@normalpants: That sucks then. At least they're refunding it.

I've never heard of this exact thing happening to anyone before. It sucks that this can even happen.

I've never downloaded a "full" game off of PSN, but if it works like some of the smaller, downloadable titles, you usually download the demo AND an unlock key.

Is there anything similar to that you could try and re-download (preferably just the key)?

When you bought it was there a "unlock key" or did it just pop up with a download of the trail/ game? If theres a key try redownloading. If its a full game try redownloading it and deleting the old version?

I also haven't bought a full version of a game on psn..

I can buy the game cheaper than that. Rip-off, skimping losers.
