It really isn’t. At that price I’m still gonna need more than a single game worth playing on PS5 that I can’t play on my PS4 or 6 year old midrange laptop.

$420 for what will likely be the best dedicated gaming machine for the next 3-5 years, when competitors are raising prices, I consider a good deal for multiplats on its own. If you’d rather game on PC or just play Nintendo exclusives, that’s fine. Astrobot series (one being free) and Demon Souls remake are two exclusives that have not come to PC, just as good as Nintendo’s best, if walled gardens are what you’re looking for in a console.

I have a question about PS4->PS5 upgrades. If I bought a disc upgrade in the past and then buy the PS4 version of a game digitally, will that upgrade apply to the digital copy as well? It seems like it should, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t. I don’t want to have to keep using the disc when I want to play a quick round of Tetris Effect anymore.

And even more specifically, anyone know how it works with plus games? For example, I have Uncharted 4 and the Lost Legacy on disc. If I pay the $10 upgrade fee can I then launch the PS5 version from the plus copy (which was excluded from the $10 upgrade option)?

No, unfortunately. You have to put the disc in. I actually upgraded Tetris Effect the same way. Still have to burn a few calories getting up to put that damn disc in.
 
Tetris effect connected is the lowest price it's ever been for the PS5 version. $15.99 with your PlayStation Plus discount. I own the PS4 disc version that I bought for 20 bucks so I'll just get the digital now and if I can get 10 bucks for the disc version, it will be worth the upgrade especially because I can now play it on psvr2.

I debated what version of this game for a while and went with the PS4 disc because I prefer playing Tetris with the PS4 controller dpad on my PS5.

What? It’s a console, they’re all walled gardens unless you hack them.

My point is there is that there’s like one or two games that I could play on PS5 that I couldn’t play on my PS4 or old, underpowered computer that I would actually want to play. Or in the case of Demon’s Souls, on my PS3.

$420 is a terrible deal for the privilege of playing one or two games that I have to buy separately. And no, Astro doesn’t count, I don’t care about Astro.
 
So what was the one game that is worthy if not Astro? Sony putting their games on PC is a good thing, is does not detract from the console. I don't like the direction they have taken with most of their first party titles, but Concord being the biggest financial bomb in entertainment industry history compared to Astrobot winning game of the year should send a message that even the most pig headed executives pay attention to. I sold my regular PS5 for $420 a few months ago, turning around and converting that to a PS5 pro for the same price, yes please. Still plenty of great games you can play on old tech though.

Nioh collection for $20 is really good, I already owned it though.

So it turns out that this is only for physical, the Nioh Collection digital version is not on sale at all for Days of Play! Just goes to show you that digital games are artificially inflated because they have no incentive to lower the price.

Same thing with Gran Turismo 7. It's on sale physically but not during this days of play sale.

Monster Hunter Wilds, which I’ll probably build a PC for sooner or later. Like there’s just so little coming out that actually requires recent technology that’s remotely interesting to me anymore, most of what looks good to me still runs well on old systems.

I’m also not calling out Astro, I just have no special interest in 3D platformers, since their heyday was also in a period when 3D cameras were pretty bad and I got motion sickness super easy. Spyro 2 and Toy Story 2 for PS1 were what I had as a kid, and both made me want to puke. I’ve bought a few highly regarded ones in the past few years, but I haven’t really gotten around to playing them, so I don’t really feel an urge to add more to the backlog. I only mentioned it because somebody said something about it coming with the system.

EDIT: Oh, and I do recognize the irony of saying I don’t want to spend $420 to buy a machine for one game and saying I’ll build a computer for it later, but I use my computer a lot more than my consoles for a lot more than games, so it’s gonna wear out sooner or later. I’m talking about when I need to replace my current machine.

Anyone have the $100 AMEX deal and not planning to use? I have a 10% off coupon, would like to combo if it works. Hoping the dell rewards and card rebate would be enticing. Send me a message if you can help, thanks.
 
The best way to play Tetris Effect is—hands down—is on PSVR2. It looks absolutely stunning. And the haptics in the headset feel so satisfying

Just for clarification, you bought the PS4 digital copy after upgrading the disc copy?

I bought the $10 upgrade for my PS4 disc copy. I never purchased the full version on digital. I thought that was the question but now rereading, I misunderstood.

If you have actually purchased the full PS4 digital version, then you should be able to set rid of your disc.

I need to get it for my Index, but I've played VR Tetris Effect and it's awesome.

Since it looks to have her name on it, that's probably not a good thing (for her).

Given it's Goodwill, she could prob say it got mixed in with some donations/sowwy.

TBH... if I had something like that as some key member of Concord dev team, I would have kept it and proudly displayed it in my home... assuming I never had a job interview inside my own home, of course. I mean, it's a historic piece of gaming culture.
 
The worst movies of all time are still fun to watch, like trolls 2. Waterworld, the previous go to example of commercial failure in the entertainment industry started turning a profit long ago, and is just going to keep earning royalties from here. Disney and Marvel recent Bombs are still streaming fodder and will be watched by enough fans invested in the whole canon. Concord just boggles my mind how big a failure it is. Best they can get out of it is recycling some assets and a tax write off.

The next closest example for the magnitude of its failure is oddly enough, to me, the Disney Star Wars hotel. They spend millions creating a state of the art unique hotel concept, to destroy it and turn it into office space within a year and a half. They spent far longer designing and building it. They could cut back the extra experience stuff that was part of the hotel, that added to operational cost, and still just use the place as a hotel, but nope. Concord I think they killed out of embarrassment, it wouldn’t have cost much to keep it playable a bit more atleast, but the numbers would have been a running joke. The Star Wars hotel though, seems vindictive or petty in it being destroyed rather than repurposed. Corporations acting that way, so eager to hit the nuke button on their own creations, concerns me.

Concord has the worst character designs of any hero shooter. The reality is people want to play as "hot" characters. Overwatch will live forever because the character designs are the best in the industry.
