I had to try real hard but just got one this week from a Sony Direct queue. It’s still like winning a little lottery though yeah, you can’t buy one like a normal human being :-/

I’m late to the party on this but wow Astro’s Playroom is so well done and makes the PS5 really feel like this special new thing. I love all the nostalgia collectibles and how the whole thing goes through the history of PlayStation.

I think the climbing section with the monkey is the funnest gimmick-control section of a platformer in years.

And finally, it gives me hope to see gyro ADS aiming being used in a pack-in game like that and I hope game makers get the message and start including it as an option in shooters.

PS5 rules, I’m loving it.

Yea I've got shelves and they're full of books, I already own too much poo poo in general, and the convenience of hitting home button on the Switch and having a library of installed gamed to select from is quite nice.

My original question was regarding pricing alone because aside from potential financial incentives buying physical copies is less convenient and results in you having more plastic poo poo in your home.

My 5 makes a sound playing DMCV:SE (which I'm playing in 120fps mode) that I've not heard before, and which stops immediately when I leave to dashboard (leaving the game running) and starts immediately if I boot the game back up . If I had to describe it I'd say it sounds like someone running a sawmill a very long way away. Notably it's still p quiet (like 40 dB at point blank, up from the usual 35). Is this like a known thing or what. I'm like the butterfly/pigeon anime meme guy asking "is this coil whine" at any unfamiliar noise.

That's coil whine, mine does it, too. I definitely noticed it when I was playing DeS and sitting close to the console/tv. Most of the time I'm using headphones or have the volume way up, but if I play with the volume turned down I sometimes hear it. It's whatever.

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
I will never get rid of my video games again because when I was a kid I sold my NES and around 18 games for $20 at a garage sale and later traded my SNES with like 10 games to Funcoland for store credit which I used to buy WWF Wrestlemania for the PSX.

I also sold all my Star Wars figures for $20.

Hey, real quick, does anyone know if the FF7R Digital Deluxe Upgrade works if I have FF7R on disc? I wouldn't think it would be an issue, but I don't want to spend the money without knowing for sure and I don't see anything in the listing.

No idea if it's related or was just a coincidence but Yakuza Kiwami crashed while a cyberpunk patch was installing. I haven't had any crashes for any game on my PS5 before this (installed cyberpunk, created a character, then stopped to play other games)

To offer a counterpoint, there is a massive digital sale on the PSN Store. Try looking at prices of games you're interested in and compare it to physical games copies off ebay/your preferred marketplace.

This. I almost never buy games at launch and wait for great deals on digital. I think I've paid more than $30 on a single game once in the last generation and usually far less. I can only recall one game that I bought on physical because it was a better deal than digital and that was No Man's Sky, something like $8 after the big patch.

Yea, this is the first I'm hearing about any of that? Assuming he's talking about Immortals: Fenyx Rising and not some other game I don't know about, I don't think the PS4 version is getting a free upgrade since the PS5 version is already out and for sale.

Huh, you're right. I bought a physical copy specific for PS5 so I figured that since they split the physical versions they would have split the digital ones too. Weird.

running a game on the PS4 actually lowers the value of a game, so you're wrong
