So I put a disc in my PS5 for the first time last night and of course it couldn't finish installing and gave a "dirty disc, try cleaning it and rebooting your PS5" error.

I just hooked up my PS2 slim and it won’t read any discs.  Makes a grinding sound.  My PSOne was also unable to read discs when I last tried to use it.  I ordered a new laser for the PS2 slim, but it seems like PlayStation consoles are just destined to have the crappiest disc drives.

Picked up Cuphead. Playing with those awful Joy-cons was a chore. Looking forward to playing this with a good controller.

Was doing my weekly checks for discounts on Utawarerumono vita bundle for Mask of Truth/Mask of Deception and the old PSN webstore shows it as missing.  Log in to the Vita store and the games are listed, but it says "No content."  It also says this for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Uncharted Fight For Fortune.  I don't remember if the latter 2 were digital or not, but I don't see why not if they were listed on the Vita store.  I didn't see any mention of the Utawarerumono games being delisted.  Even checked the PS4 store and these 2 Utawarerumono games were delisted too. 

 

Makes me think that we are SOL on any further discounts on PS3 and Vita games and that there's possible delistings moving forward so if we want to load up on PS3 and Vita games, we're probably going to have to purchase them at full price and soon

Picked up Dirt 5 and NFS HP Remastered, that was all I wanted.

Ps5 needs to add stuff from PS4 os like creating folders it’ll come in handy in the future. Also add demos, themes etc to the damn ps store!

Agreed 100%. I can’t believe they don’t have demos pushing software sales.

i picked up ultimate marvel vs capcom 3. feels like it has a pretty steep learning curve. im pretty decent at fighters but im getting trounced halfway through normal arcade.

[Linkachu]

So with the holiday sale set to end in the next day or so, I’m curious if anyone else is interested in sharing what they got. There were so many games on sale that it’s hard keeping up with all the deals (even with Frisky’s hard work). Trying to see if perhaps I missed any hidden gems or super good deals/price drops. This is what I picked up (so far). Anything else I should consider? F32F4B2C-4F61-49C8-B315-BBB02A4C43FC.jpeg D16CA8EA-C86A-4AEB-B7DC-73E41916C831.jpeg

Just Cuphead and the MGSV Definitive Edition so far

[Ron Mexico]

I got 13 Sentinels. It was completely a blind bye. I’m liking it quite a bit so far. Reminds me of a the PSX era where games were more quirky and unique.

Any thoughts on how to got a trophy to pop?

On Miles Morales, I know I found all the time capsules but no trophy.  Looked at all the items in inventory.  

Quit the game.  Rebooted the PS5.  No trophy.  But I got a different trophy to pop afterwards.

[Chainsaw_charlie]

I swooped in and grabbed 10 games that peaked my interest there's one to three more I may grab since I couldnt add more then 10

[nitrosmob]

I bought Disaster Report 4 and Immortals Fenyx Rising. Will hopefully play both sometime soon, with Fenyx coming after me being done with BOTW (playing now).

Agreed 100%. I can’t believe they don’t have demos pushing software sales.

I'm pretty sure there are data for years showing demos actually decrease follow-up sales. It was supposedly why Microsoft reversed their initial policy that all Live Arcade titles had to have downloadable demos - that was way back mid-360 lifecycle.

Anybody played Othercide? Looks cool, but I'm not a big tactics game player

I’ve picked it up, but not tried it yet. However, from reading multiple reviews on it, and seeing it show up on a few ‘Best of’ retrospective lists, it is pretty heavily tactics-based. Some reviews had also mentioned that it has a fairly severe difficulty jump towards the end as well. Definitely has a cool aesthetic though. It’s not streamed super heavily on Twitch, but you can usually find a few people streaming it. Might be worth taking a quick look today or tomorrow, since the sale’s ending soon.

There are more quirky and unique games now then at any time in gaming. You just got to look beyond your AAA game blinders.

What did you get? What are you still considering?

Seems that way. I also hooked up my PS2 slim recently to throw in some games and ended up having to switch to my PS3 fat because it was just grinding during the intro video that it was trying to stream from the disc.

[xtreme_Zr2]

Picked AC Odyssey Ultimate for $30. I’m 70 hours into Vahalla and only 1/2 way done from what I’ve read, so the value on these games is great and I’m excited to play this one given the setting.

Seems that deception and truth have not only been removed but regionally removed a well since all google links to psn other regions don't come up either.  As occasionally games hang around on other region servers. 

 

 

Also I don't recall if this was mentioned or not but are all previous plus games on ps4 now free to own and play without plus?  As all my plus games don't have the locks on them anymore and I just loaded one up for the hell of it to see if it would.

Same here. My fat PS2 died a long time ago, and now my PS2 slim is dead. Tried hooking it up over the holidays at my parent's house so my father could play Burnout and GTA, but nothing was reading.

 

The PS2 slim has two diagonally-opposed black switches that correlate to the opening and closing of the top-loaded disc bay, to force the disc to stop spinning when the bay is opened. There are methods of making your PS2 work by using electrical tape (or solder) on those switches to force the disc to always spin.

 

Neither the soldering of those two buttons nor cleaning everything in the system worked for me. I watched the optical sensor move and begin reading the disc before saying that it was unable to read it. This happened for all discs.

 

I'm not sure if the PS2 Slim uses the CMOS battery RAM to sideload games, but it would make sense that something lost a charge somewhere and is the reason why systems are failing despite not being used. The optical board shouldn't fail without being used, and the optical reader itself should only fail to read if it's damaged in some way.

 

Might be worth a try replacing the CMOS battery inside your PS2 Slims with a regular ol' watch battery. Mine is a few states away, otherwise I'd try it.

I didn't see any mention of the Utawarerumono games being delisted.  Even checked the PS4 store and these 2 Utawarerumono games were delisted too. 

Sad if these stay gone. Played through them a few months ago and really enjoyed them. I initially bought digital but liked them enough that i hunted down physical copies of each version. They're still on steam, at least. I guess the best case scenario is that they're being reworked for another release. I'd throw money at the trilogy on switch.

I did the same thing. Bought the 2 bundled when they went on sale on psn one of the earlier times (so not when they hit 6 each) and I just finished mask of truth this month and tracked down a physical copy from vgaca and got deception via 50% off at gamestop.  I believe you were the one who linked me to the vgaca sale actually.

According to the trophy guide:

"This trophy will unlock when you find all the time capsules in the game"

Well, the trophy is there now.

It didn't pop but some time after I stopped playing, the PS5 crashed. The system did that whole thing of checking for errors when I tried to reboot. 

Now the trophy is there.

RIP Underwater Ray Romano bundle.

 

At least I bought it the last time it was pretty cheap.

[shadowysea07]

Played and finished journey. Gotta say I probably never would have gotten it if it wasn't a plus freebie since short games like this and that scuba one are pretty but not much else to them. The movement speed and jump being tied to a charger made exploring a slog.  And somehow I missed a lot of stuff despite combing most areas. 

 

Now that plus games are free for possibly ever without a plus sub I will probably go through the ones I have and or download the ones I deleted to save harddrive space from prior to getting my external. 

[Chainsaw_charlie]

What did you get? What are you still considering?

I bought Celeste, Manifold Garden, Help Will Come Tomorrow, Ghost of A Tale, Big Pharna, Ghost Parade, Dead or School, 'N Velore Verstand, Maid of Sker, Remothered Broken Porcelain.

 

I'm still eyeing Spirit Hunter N, Warsaw, Superliminal, Yakuza 6, Strange Brigade, Those Who Remain,Toyko Dark Remembrance, The Midnight Sanctuary, The Walking Vegetables

 

Of those I am still looking at what should I grab?

[Pheran]

Err, what?  Did I miss something?
