I’m sure there are people wanting a PS5 that haven’t been able to get one yet, so I assume they are confident the supply issues will all be fixed before the beginning of May. Otherwise this is a pretty shitty thing to do.


it’s lame but anyone who wants these games and doesn’t have a PS5, all they have to do is log in (or get someone to do it for them) on someone else’s PS5 and add them to their library.

You don’t think that’s really his, do you? :D

 

It'd be a strange console wars soldier that wouldn't want people to defect to their side!

It’s a great console hope you enjoy it. 

I'm sure I will. There's enough stuff for me to catch up on now, that will keep me going for a good while. Now I just need to find somewhere to hide it out of view!

Thanks all. PS Plus Extra as a starting point it is then. That should keep me going for a good while. Is there a cheap way of doing it, such as buying cards from CDKeys, like I did for Gamepass?

 

Just to go back to this. Can I just buy one of these and use it for a year of PS+ Extra?

I haven't checked the price, but I doubt it (I would guess that's a year of Plus Essential.) What I'd do is check the price of a year of Extra on Sony's website, then buy that amount of PSN credit from ShopTo. You should get 10-15% off via that route.

I didn’t think they were doing PS Plus cards anymore, if so is that just credit, if so how much?

I've no idea. I'm new to this PS Plus malarkey, that's why I'm asking for help!

@JPL sorry to confuse you but you really are unlucky with missing the sales there. So much so I wonder if it’s worth paying for a shorter amount of time and waiting for a bigger discount in the next big PSN sale?

 

If you can be arsed.

Is 12 months for £49 not a good deal then? It seems a lot cheaper than going through the Playstation site. I don't mind paying that if I can get 12 months of Extra with it.

Ah, thanks Mike.

I think that will just get you the basic one, which gets the monthly games and the collection of PS4 games that they’re taking away in May.

 

(tbf it’s what I’m on and it’s great but I’ve played Returnal etc already)

It’s £83.99 I think for Extra, so if you want that buy £84 credit at a discount here which gives you 15% off bringing it down to £70.99. 
 

The card you were looking at is for Essential which is the original PS Plus tier that entitles you to the three monthly games, that one is £49.99 so you would only save £1 with that card. You could save more by buying £50 worth of store credit (at cdkeys or shopto) and then purchasing the sub from the PlayStation store.

Perfect, thanks.

There's a new Beta system software update out, which is mostly detailed here.

 

One feature not mentioned there I didn't think would ever change: if you have a game installed from disk, and buy it digitally/claim it through Plus, you can now just use the original install without the disk rather than needing to download the digital 'version'.

 

If you're interested in the Beta this code can be redeemed four more times: 

PQF7-CXNA-32CT

@JPLMiles Morales, Returnal, GT7 (which I returned to after 9 months).
Less convinced by demon souls, but I don’t have the history with From games others do.


Horizon and GOWR are pretty, but the first suffers from “everything must be explained” and the second only really lets loose in The Crater. They’re both very much Sony first party games, if you like that sort of thing. The three games mentioned above are more interesting because they’re not just replaying the same structure. 

 

R&C is just average. Anyone pretending otherwise needs to play something with some actual character.

I wonder if that plays in to the rumour that the next PS5 revision will have an optional add-on optical drive.

 

Or it could just be Sony doing something convenient for players.

Anybody else had an issue with Beta OS 2.1?

 

Since updating, my PS5 refuses to shutdown for a bit after choosing to power down.

 

It hangs on the menu, then I can scroll through the 3 power options, pressing X makes the console produce that obnoxious beep until it finally shuts down.

 

I've reverted to the standard OS and all is fine.
