Just got a message from [PSN] with an attachment for a voucher for $10 for the PSN Store (for being a long and loyal customer). Message seems legit at first, and I think I have gotten messages from [PSN] about games like Journey, but something seems just a tag "Nigerian prince" about this.

Has anyone else gotten one, or gotten [PSN] messages? I know there were scams about $50 gifts about a year ago.

God, I get those annoying things all the time.

I keep telling them, Rule of thumb: Sony will never contact you via psn messaging, if they want to give away free credit or whatever, they'll email you via your psn account email address. But alas, they keep coming, I've deleted most of the friends I used to have, the ones I still have are the ones whom I game regularly with.

And yes, one of the newest ones tells you to input a code after chaining the message to all of your friends.

Yep. Looks legit:

PlayStation Network users have taken to Twitter, NeoGAF, and other places stating that they've received a $10 credit to their PlayStation Network account. Along with the cash comes this nice little message saying "Thank you for being a loyal customer and fan of the PlayStation Network. As a token of our appreciation, we've sent you $10.00 to spend on the PlayStation Store!"

It's not quite clear exactly why certain users got the free money, and why others haven't. It's not even clear why Sony has done this in the first place. It's definitely going to keep the Sony hype machine going until tonight's possible PlayStation 4 reveal in New York.

Whatever the case, some of you lucky folks have some cash to blow on a new PlayStation Network game! What are you going to buy? Oh, and you better act quick as as the $10 credit expires on March 5, 2013.

We might get something, BUT whenever there seems to be credit payouts the US always seem to get them with the EU not. Same as the recent Vita referral scheme that allowed the US to get $10 credit for every Vita referral they managed, people were exchanging serial numbers to hit the free $100 store credit limit.

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.

      It's so stupid that you have to "enroll" in these extended updates.
