This happened to me many times when buying game bundles on PC. Also, years ago, I almost purchased the same game for my 360 twice, in the same week and in the same store.
I think I got Kiwami when it released last year. I thought I had passed on it at the time, because I already had Zero, and even now have only really had a chance to play a couple of hours of it so far.

So, I have the disk copy of bloodborne, but if I download the digital version my saves should still be there as they are both the same game as opposed to the GOTY or complete edition which the saves might be separate? Though I probably just start a new game again, as I don't like picking up games where I left off if its been a bit since I played.

Yes this should be fine.

Also am I wrong or is the "Complete Edition" uniquely a European territory SKU?

Backtracking a couple months of PS+ games here - but I just played Batman episode 1 and appear to be in a dead end after the credits have rolled. I scrolled through the list of my "choices" and now see a list of them all stacked up, but no buttons seem to do anything. The music keeps playing so I don't think it has crashed per se. Am I supposed to just quit the app or is this actually a problem that will affect my progress into the 2nd episode?

Define "inexpensive". Also, do you want wireless? If so, I think the Sony Gold headsets are likely your best bet, but if you're willing to go wired (to your controller) there are a lot of other options people could suggest.

I know the store's not done updating but I see a Square Enix sale in the store with nothing listed, is this a sale from last week that's being taken down or a new sale for this week that's being put up?

That happened to me in the same spot. All the episodes after that went back to the menu. Closing the app and reopening didn’t cause any issues.

Yeah I force quit since the game clearly wasn't letting me do anything else after waiting for a while. Local save data seems fine as my Codex entries are up to date, including new story developments since the last time I had access to the Batcave in-game. Not sure if there's any weirdness on the Telltale server's end though... when I check "Your choices" from the main menu I just get the background animation on loop, with nothing else loading and no way back to the main menu. I started Episode 2 and the opening recap seems to reflect the choice I made at the end of e1... not sure if that's an indication that previous choices have been properly recognized, or if there's just a default recap that happens to match what I did in that instance.

Is Harvey gonna remember that? :ohdear:

Boost Mode improves the overall frame rate of BB but it’s uncapped, meaning it arguably looks even more stuttery when you transition from moments of low to high load.

You get an item early on called the Beckoning Bell. Using it costs one point of Insight, a stat you gain in various ways (entering a boss arena, killing a boss, using certain items, etc.). This will (hopefully) summon another player into your game (who has used the Small Resonant Bell item) to help you. They'll disappear if you're killed, they're killed or if you beat a boss. However, using the Beckoning Bell opens you up to being invaded by a player who has used the Sinister Resonant Bell item. BUT, if you kill the Chime Maiden enemy who appears when you use the Beckoning Bell that will stop invasions while still allowing you to summon players

To add to this, random meet ups are fairly rare (probably less so this month) but you can set a password in the game options to match with a friend for jolly cooperation. You can also still get invaded by randos like this, which is fun.

Still needs to have more than three hours of new content to be worth buying full price (I don't know that it does, but 'we added a small new dungeon and some random tweaks' doesn't inspire conference).

You can fight Omega and he looks like a long fight. I think there's some more bosses too but it's hard to tell what's just part of the patch and what's RE Upgrade.

Got a problem with purchasing through the store site and adding funds.

I added some money to my account via a debit card (for PSPlus). That went fine and well, and through my PS4 I was able to add funds again to fill out a purchase amount for a game. However if I try to add an amount through the site again it tells me my card info is wrong (it isn't) and if I try to purchase something through the store via website, it tells me there's an error when I try to confirm purchase. I've tried deleting and adding the card a couple times, signing in and out, etc. Any ideas?
