They need to remaster or at the very least port Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner, Devil Survivor or literally anything else besides yet another Persona game. Persona 3 is on its 4th version and yet the absolute masterpiece that is Digital Devil Saga is stuck on PS2 forever. Atlus is just a Persona factory now I guess. Sometimes I really resent the popularity the Persona games got at the expense of other SMT games. Especially since the Persona games have gotten progressively worse since 3 (unpopular opinion I know). So sick of these emo high schoolers and teen waifus and aggressively annoying anthropomorphic animal sidekicks.

SMT5 was amazing at least, but we will never get another Raidou game, and instead of Devil Survivor 3 they made a Persona 5 Tactics game. I’m at the point that I am ignoring all Persona games out of spite. I haven’t played any of them since vanilla Persona 5 first came out and I don’t feel a bit of FOMO. And the way Atlus sliced off Persona 3’s FES content into paid dlc for the remaster is almost impressive in its shamelessness.
If it makes you feel better, I downloaded all the SMT games I could find on PSN onto my PS3 last week.
 
Buy 1 gaming card, get 15% off another at Best Buy.

It gives the discount on the larger card. I bought a $100 digital PSN code and a $10 card (discount doesn't trigger with 2 digital cards) for $95. Got the digital code already, card says it arrives tomorrow.

Anyone hear of more wrongful suspensions/bans going out since it happened in December? Got an email this morning that my account was suspended for content in "messages". At first I figured it was spam, but I tried logging in through official means and verified the suspension. Barking up the wrong tree, Sony; I haven't ever touched messages outside of when a CAG member and I used to coordinate co-op. Not to mention last online 2-3 years ago. . .

They're not accepting appeals on temp bans so I can't even clear my name since this is obviously wrongful accusation, and I would be concerned that someone has my account except for the fact there's 2FA on the account and every time I log in it texts me. So what the AF Sony?
 
Uhh might want to open it. Both of my PSP batteries expanded. The battery cover was actually detached in the case and I thought..weird. Then I noticed it and my Pandora battery were plumped up.
This happened to my other PSP. I think it only happens when it's charged. Knock on wood my other is fine.
 
I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, I haven't posted since the old site was up. Do the PS deals still get posted in this thread or do I have to go to the Playstation website? I know Xbox still posts links to the games in their threads but I can't find that same thing here.

Yep. same here. My battery expanded and it ruined the system. It no longer works unless you have the cover taped tightly to hold the battery in, and even then it intermittently shuts off whenever the contacts act loose. Broken unit; pretty sad. Really lame way to lose a functional system.
 
Since I play it so much, I fortunately caught my expanding battery on my PSP before anything happened. I may need to have the screen replaced at some point, though, it’s got a couple tiny spots where the very outer layer of it is peeling a bit.

I also had an expanding battery on my laptop around the same time that I think did a little structural damage, but nothing to the actual functional parts of the computer, and I’m constantly worried about my 3DS battery these days.

No the deals don't really get posted anymore. Occasionally some sale highlights will get posted, but definitely not everything on sale
 
I was just thinking about this when my brother mentioned it happened to his PSP. I've got tons of handhelds with rechargeable batteries... and feel like they're all ticking time bombs. Hell, it just occurred to me that I've got one of those super old battery packs for the OG Game Boy, the rechargeable ones from like the 90s.

Did you beat some people online recently? I just wonder if someone lost to you and retaliated by reporting you for a random reason?
 
DC Universe Online is out for the PS5 now:

I have one of those, too, and it’s completely dead. So-dead-it-won’t-even-work-when-plugged-in dead.
 
Immortals must have been a massive bust I'm guessing. I wouldn't buy it honestly (not my favorite genre of game), but I will play it from PS+. Skul I rammed my head into the wall many times in my quite long playthrough of it. A decently fun action rogue lite which has some of the cheapest bosses I've felt in these type of games. Still worth playing and I believe they nerfed the difficulty a bit.

I platinumed Immortals of Aveum. It was a pretty fun 8/10 game, like watching a good B movie. I think 2023 was just too stacked with releases. The other issue is that the game had a massive $125 million dollar budget. Hard to make that kind of money back during a stacked year but being free on PS Plus, there's no reason not to check it out.
 
Not a terrible month or anything but you can kinda see why the non-indies ended up as freebies so quickly. Minecraft Legends had a decent reception but no staying power, they dropped support within only 9 months of release. Kinda wish one of the non-indies was more of a hit, even if a little older. Looking back, it feels like there hasn't been a particularly bad monthly line-up in a while, just some disappointments here or there (the months where Foamstars and the Saints Row remake were headliners, for example).
However, can't say I'm seeing too much justification for the price hike either.

Spoke with CS and they escalated it to a review team and the ban was lifted same day. Makes me wonder just how common this is outside of massive perma-ban waves that catch false positives like the one in December. The fact this was around message content that wasn't even posted--like how do you actually fuck up that badly? JFC Sony.
 
I skimmed over it the first time, and then again and again, but that fourth time really got my attention. Thank you.
 
Just got an offer of 1 month of PS Plus Extra for the price of Essential on my account if anyone is interested, you may want to check yours. Doesn't work for 3 or 12 month though. Pretty lame, so I guess I will continue without PS Plus. Curious though, has anyone gotten any discount on the Essential Plan since the price hike? I contacted support about this one month offer only, and they told me that since the rise in price, the essential plan hasn't had any type of discount since? Is this true?
