Can a digital console-game ad promise an unconditional refund?
PlayStation Store's US refund page, read in October 2026, requires an undownloaded, unstreamed game and a request within 14 days, except faulty content. Additional local-law rights remain. Disclose those conditions before using a refund promise to support the digital-game offer.
Does a console preorder have the same refund trigger as a released game?
PlayStation Store's US October 2026 guidance sets different preorder deadlines: over 14 days before release, request before release; under 14 days, request before release or within 14 days of purchase afterward. Main content must remain undownloaded and unpreloaded, except faulty content. Local-law rights remain; confirm purchase and release dates.
Can a console offer promise every refund will return cash to the buyer?
PlayStation Store's US refund page, read in October 2026, uses the original payment method where possible; otherwise it credits the wallet, including some voucher-funded purchases. Name the possible refund destination. Approval does not establish a cash return to the buyer's bank account.
Which refund policy belongs beside a retailer-sold console voucher?
PlayStation Store's US October 2026 guidance directs voucher-code buyers to the selling retailer's refund policy, with separate PlayStation Direct guidance. Identify the purchase channel in the campaign. Storefront game rules do not automatically establish refund rights for an externally purchased code.

Equal-weight account aggregate · Reporting period not supplied
Median and middle 50% of account-level average order values. Each account value is purchase ROAS multiplied by cost per purchase in USD. Successful classifications, including manual corrections, with positive finite spend, purchases, ROAS and cost per purchase. Accounts are counted once with equal weight. Quartiles use linear interpolation. Root cohorts include direct root classifications and their child categories; exact-child cohorts exclude parent and sibling categories. The source selects the highest-spend coverage row per account among snapshots dated within the preceding 30 days; the underlying reporting period is not supplied. This is a dated aggregate advertising-data snapshot, not business-wide AOV or a census. Comparison colors describe position in the account AOV distribution, not profitability. Your entered amount stays on this page.
