When the world finally ends, we are going to look back at social media as the nexus event that began the downfall.
Context is everything.
I second AND third this! I've managed to get three bundles from gamestop pro account sales in about the past month (one for me and two for friends, don't hate). If you guys needs a PS5, just get a Pro account. IDGAF what you think about gamestop, just do it. I know its anecdotal evidence, but if I managed to get three in a month, that basically means you are guarenteed.
I sign up for a pro membership every year just for the magazine. It’s about the same price as any other magazine subscription. All of the other benefits are just gravy. I don’t even shop there much and I feel like I get my money’s worth from it.
GameStop is giving 10,000 points right now for anyone who signs up (worth $10) and you get a $5 welcome reward on your receipt. $15 up front but literally pays for itself if you plan to buy anything video game related. Not to mention the $5 reward each month with membership.
Personally try to ignore this dudes posts. Flip flops a lot and is sometimes negative or spins what people say.
Is the 10,000 point bonus only in-store? I don't see it listed anywhere when I try to sign up online.
Instead of returning it, just sell it to somebody for what you paid and keep the giftcard. Hell, you could even add like $20 on top and that would still be a totally fair price to whoever buys it, considering the effort it takes to get one (assuming you aren't some douchebag using a bot).
I think you can do both. Another CAG said he got the points from renewing online. I think instore renewal is probably better since you get a $5 welcome gift code printed on the receipt when you sign up.
He just said the PS5, but I didn't clarify if it was a bundle or not so not 100% sure. But he definitely made it seem like was system only.
If that's the case it will DEFINITELY be bundles.
Probably true, would be nice if they let you pick like 2-3 games and build your own bundle.
Speaking of Playstation Direct. I saw a refurbished PS4 Pro on there for $350.
This. Since the PS5 plays almost all PS4 games, is more powerful than a Pro, is more future proof obviously, has a better controller, and will surely end up having some PS5 games you are interested in down the line, it seems like spending an additional $150 for a PS5 over a refurb Pro makes more sense. I debated getting a Pro or a PS5 for a second room. I decided to just keep rolling with a PS4 Slim in that room until I can get a second PS5.
Redman’s got the right idea. If it’s a choice between ps4 pro and ps5, you go with the ps5.
Good luck with that, it's not going to peak for $1500 again. You're missing out on good games released since.
Agree except not selling mine. Never had a ps4 pro so I’m using it to cherry pick my backlog. Have played more ps4 games on my ps5 than ps5 games. Very annoying.
I had the same experience. I loved Demon's Souls and Astro's but didn't touch my ps5 for months. I decided to sell it back in March for cost and plan to rebuy when something comes out that I likey

When supply is still limited a year after it released and it's Christmas time, desperation will set in. Besides, if it sells; it wasn't priced high enough.
I've accepted my backlog as future investments at this point, some of which have been very lucrative now that quite a few are decades old. That said, I don't feel pressure to play anything I skipped in lieu of other games at the time so for me, having quite a few PS4 games still waiting to be played hasn't warranted keeping a PS5 around should the price rise again. I would certainly be annoyed if all I was playing were those games on a new generation console, especially given quite a few have yet to receive those promised free updates to graphics.
That's kinda how I feel about mine actually, my backlog is so huge that I think of it as an investment in case I need to sell some of it at some point.
Nobody is doing it wrong. People should not be pressured to spend $70 on a game that may not be for them. Returnal and Demon's Souls may be great games, but they are not for everyone. I don't like repeating death games and $70 is a big ask to try it.
Even with the last generation, I hardly ever spent $60 for a game. I don't get why people complain about $60 or $70 games. You're a CAG and should know basic ways of finding a deal or just play your backlogs of games until the game you want hit your price range.
It was $50 a month ago at Best Buy.
Damn my bad then. Coulda sworn I read that they did that pretty quick. Must be thinking of another game.
There was news a few weeks ago about them adding it, but they still had to figure out what they were going to do then put it in the game.
