Cyberpunk 2077 for PS4 is $11.21 at my local Wally. PS5 upgrade essentially makes it $11.21 for the PS5 version correct? No drawbacks? Been wanting to get into it since it’s apparently fixed and with that new DLC.
 
Shadowrun Trilogy was a nice addition. Gonna try out Returns first, but have a feeling it’ll just make me want to buy them on PC. I literally bought GTA V last weekend, at least I only paid $15.
Is it too much to ask of Sony to add some psvr1 or psvr2 games?
And encourage people to buy PSVR2 and keep their subscription active? Never.
 
i was considering jedi fallen order but i can just use the GS montly coupon and the pur discount to get the physical ps4 version for even cheaper than the psn sale price and get the free upgrade. then i flip the pa4 copy right back for $2.20 after i beat the game
 
Choo-Choo Charles is out now on PS5 and PS4 for $19.99, though there's no Cross Buy. It's a horror game about a train spider named Charles.

PS Backbone at Costco, free delivery with $25 psn card only $50.

Was just in store today and they were only $30. Refused to price adjust because the online store is a “different entity”. So I bought one in store for $30 and walked it straight over to the returns desk. A bit of a hassle that could have been avoided, but whatever. It was quite the deal

Must be fun to circle-jerk. . .

I still can't understand how Chained Echoes was never given a chance to be a contender for indie when it wasn't eligible last year. Many have agreed it was superior to Sea of Stars, despite both being great. A shame really for the guy that made the whole game by himself.

Aren't these all based on user/fan votes? Doesn't surprise me why Spider Man 2 won everything if that's the case. I never even heard of Chained Echoes until I saw some people mentioned it here... so not too surprising a game like that gets overlooked. Haven't played it yet because I can't make myself pay that much for a digital game so waiting for a sale (or possibly a physical release outside of First Press Games, heard they suck harder than LRG).

Both have been on Game Pass day one so for that ecosystem they weren't overlooked. More pointing to the fact it never made it on the list to be voted on, which makes no sense.
 
I know it's Xmas and all but man, this thread has been super dead since the swtich to the new website.

Yeah, there are plenty of deals around... And they hit 50 million units sold for the PS5, but the site seems a great deal more focused on the Xbox of late.

Oh, well. We'll post here when we have things to add.

Herro. First time poking into the PS thread (I think). Didn't realize how "dead" this thread was compared to the Xbox thread. It's kind of funny because I think most of the Xbox gang already have Game Pass but we still talk about buying games to add to our backlog. :LOL:

Also, the Xbox thread seems to cover a lot of VPN(travel)/CD Keys type purchases, where those don't really seem to exist on the PS side of things.

Xbox is basically the console side of Steam/Epic these days, but with Game Pass added. Valheim even had an early access period of sorts for their console port so I'm hoping that's a trend that continues, especially since it's possible Light No Fire is closer than expected with alpha starting next spring and Xbox looking to be the lead console platform.

Has nothing to do with the site change. The Xbox thread has ALWAYs been more active for as long as I've been here. You can either have a dead thread or one filled with off-topic posts. You can't have both. :ROFLMAO:

Sony released only one first party game this year. Aside from the free monthly PS+ games and monthly additions to PS Extra/Premium, there's simply really not much else to talk about. The Playstation ecosystem is also extremely locked down so there's not that many deals to be had which is probably one of the reasons why they are being sued.

Not to be a contrarian but rumors are that those 50 million units sold are really 50 million units shipped, not sold. It's probably closer to 25-30 million PS5s sold especially with Sony counting the Playstation Portal and PSVR2 as consoles further obfuscating those numbers. Xbox is close to ~25 million units sold especially with the recent sales of Series X going for $350 and Series S for $130 over the holidays, I expect the numbers between both platforms to be much closer now.
 
I’ll talk deals/recommendations. I have a bunch of games in my cart.
Pixel Ripped 1995 $11.99
Journey to Foundation $19.99
Puzzling Places $11.99
Shadow Legend $7.49
I Expect you to Die 2 $13.49
Swordsman VR $11.99

I think they are all all time lows. Foundation at 50% off already is both enticing and scary. It just came out. Not sure if I can bite on that one. Feedback is welcome

I grabbed Puzzling Places for that price and have been debating some of the DLC as there is a good bit that is 50% off. I could use some really chill games for a while.

I'll be watching for other people's recommendations on the others.

several non sony affiliated financial websites have reported the sales figures of consoles are 3 to 1 in favor of sony. also, several sources report that 50million number as sold through. and just lol at portal and psvr 2 being included in those numbers, just keep spreading those rumors.
 
That guy said he's not interested in fanboy wars, but he is always going on about how Xbox is better than PS in the Xbox thread. It is just laughable that he thinks VR2 and Portal count towards PS5 systems sold. He also predicts that Xbox will be the dominant platform by the end of this generation, which is just 5 years from now, but Series X and S units sold were only 21 million combined before the start of the summer, according to official Xbox Brazil branch. You can't make this up.

FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered $7.99
FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster $9.99
Mass Effect Legendary Edition $5.99

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered + Valkyria Chronicles 4 Bundle $9.99

Some of these games I have already owned physically but going forward I am most likely going to buy digital games except for RPG games.

I'm in a similar boat to you. I have a bunch of these in physical format already but end up grabbing some of them digitally just for the convenience factor.

Some pretty good deals for those in terms of amount of hours of gameplay per dollar spent.
 
Is the FFVII intermission DLC on sale (if you're qualified to buy it) or only the FFVII+DLC for $15.19?
The DLC is $14.99 on it's own.

I just played through it recently and while it was entertaining, it was pretty short.

Still debating the Intergrade/Rebirth bundle for $69 digitally even though I already own Intergrade...
 
I was finally able to take my dualshock 4 that won't charge or turn on despite troubleshooting all I could with my PS5 and every suggestion online(wouldn't even charge plugging into an outlet) over to a friends that has a PS4. Well, I was able to get it to charge through the console itself but it would not turn on. I figure that maybe I can wait for it to completely charge and then try it but I think that maybe the PSN button is broken. I might just have to buy a new DS4 if I can't fix the PSN button if that is indeed why it won't connect to my PS5 or my friends PS4. Sucks because I really like this blue one and there would be no reason for it to just stop working. I still have no idea why it would only charged plugged into a PS4 but at least I know it's not the battery.
 
I bought a few games from the sale. My PS5 store app died in the middle of me perusing games on sale so I guess that was my cue to stop shopping lol. I have so many games on PS, Steam, and XBox I really don't need to purchase any more games for a really long time if at all.

I do recall hearing something funky about how they were reporting portal and vr hardware sales, so there's probably some truth to it. Don't really care much considering that's not the measure for success anymore.
 
I feel like such a putz for buying Shemue 3 at launch and then buying the DLC for $7.49 and not even playing all the dlc yet. It just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper. I am sure we all have games like that though.

Sweet baby jesus... are you serious? I guess typing anything that's not "PS5 is the best console ever! 10/10" is considered console warring. :ROFLMAO: That's why the xbox thread is more active, because it feels like an actual community of real genuine people while this one just feels like a cult for a plastic box. I've stopped posting in this thread almost entirely just not to piss people off.

I literally could not have been more transparent. There was a report by Matt Piscatella that PS Portals would be tracked as console sales and I made sure to label it as a rumor. I'm just offering a different perspective. For example we know that Sony counts God of War, Spider-man and Horizon console bundles as individual game sales and they've also stopped reporting on PS Plus subscriber numbers. Clearly Sony has an interest in making these numbers look good for the investors. Read for yourself... I didn't just make this shit up:


Xbox is my preferred console. I never lied about that. Same way that Playstation is your preferred console even though you post in the Xbox thread. I'm assuming that you also own an Xbox? I didn't see you post your end of year yearly wrap-ups in either thread. I still play on my PS5 daily and am in the top percentile for hours played and games completed.

My PS4 Pro sounded like a jet engine going mach 10! My Xbox One S sucked, the Xbox One X was a great console, Xbox just forgot to release games for it. :ROFLMAO: Despite having fond memories of bringing my TV and Xbox 360 over to my friends house for pizza night and 12-16 player halo with the boys and The Last of Us on PS3 being my favorite game of all time, neither of them were my console of the generation.. the Gamecube was. Nintendo just knows how to put out magical unique games that don't cost $300 million dollar budgets to make. Nintendo is pushing the boundaries through creativity. Something that Playstation used to be good at.. Sly Cooper, Jax, Ico, SOTC, GOW.... now it's just more sequels, remakes and remasters.... all to say that I have no allegiance. I play all games. How many people can say they have the Platinum for Knack 1 & 2? Surely that should buy me some street cred right? :)

Why do I predict that Xbox will dominate by the end of this generation? Because I'm a consumer, not a shareholder. Which console raised the prices of games and their subscription service this generation? Which console releases all of their first party games day and date into their subscription service and let's you play the game you bought, anywhere including PC without forcing you to buy multiple copies of the same game!? Which franchise is the top selling franchise of all time? Call of Duty. Which platform owns Call of Duty now? Microsoft owns more studios than PS after the ABK acquisition so they will be pumping out more games. This isn't some Nostradamus level prediction, just some basic 3rd grade level common sense. Whichever console brings you the most value and joy is up to you. It doesn't have to be just one.

Might be worth looking into purchasing a replacement ps button and see about repairing yourself. Ifixit usually has reliable OEM parts and videos on how to do the repairs.

I plugged it into an outlet and it's charging there now too! I have no idea what is going on. It's like the PS4 woke it up or something. Once it's fully charged I might take it apart and see if I can push the PSN button with the shell off. Buying the parts and then trying to fix it doesn't seem worth the $20 or so it will cost to buy a used controller or even $30 for a brand new one in the box like I see selling on offerup near me.
