Although that isn't their official wording

The new date for the end of the Welcome Back package has been extended until 9am PST on July 5. For UK gamers, that means 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday). Sony could easily have avoided this mess if it hadgiven an exact time thatthe offer would be ending in the first place. If there's anything the internet likes to do, it's moan about technicalities.
