Unfortunately Sony decided not to put accessories on sale this time around.

Edit: PS Direct has discounts on INZONE headsets and PS5 color plates, but that’s all.

That's freaking sucks waited this long for a new controller just for them not to include them in this sale. Hopefully they them later next week or something wishful thinking

Now for something completely different....

 

Humble Bundle has Destiny Grimoire Anthology ebooks listed.  $9 minimum to get all 5 plus a coupon for something in the Bungie store.

 

I guess it's stories and expansion on the lore presented in the Destiny games.

 

Maybe worth it just to understand what the hell is going on.

It is really annoying that I cannot just upgrade my current subscription and buy a year of Extra or Premium. I have 9 days left on my PS Plus Essential plan and I like to upgrade to one of the new tiers was considering trying premium or extra for a year but it won't let me upgrade. It will only give me a discount on the remaining 9 days of my membership. I'm going to see if I can remember to upgrade the morning of 6/12 since my plan expires on 6/11 and hopefully they will let me choose a premium or extra sub at the discounted rate.

 

If not I will just stick with Essential.

You can't pay the prorated rate and then extend it?

Nope. Not even for free, that game is terrible.

Can you buy ps plus with account credit and do I need to ad cc info ? Amazon stopped selling ps plus subscriptions for some reason and 3rd party sellers are asking insane prices

You mean wallet funds in your PSN account? If yes then yes you can. Sony stopped selling PS+ cards/codes when they introduced the new tiers for PS+. Now they just want you to use PSN funds to buy it off the PS Store. Also yea you'll probably have to link a payment in order to sub to it but just take off auto renew after.

You never need to add your Credit Card info into psn.

Just keep getting psn digital codes off Amazon instead. Load your cart to calculate the taxes, buy Amazon Digital codes from Sony/PlayStation or the official seller so its instant, there's a redeem code option in the cart menu.

 

I just got a $50 code off Amazon to get days of play discount on the ps+ essential 12 months. They beg for your credit card a lot just so they can hit you with recurring payments.

Can you cancel your subscription and just re-subscribe?

Played my PS5 for the first time last night. I've seen the memes but I was not expecting Astro's Playroom to go so hard! The game has me smiling ear to ear and blowing on my controller lmao!

 

Also I can confirm that my PS5 is dead silent! Truly a Godsend compared to the PS3 and PS4.

Astro's Playroom is nice albeit extremely short. I think I almost 100% it in just over 2 hours. Still great to show capabilities, and give nice nostalgia for all things Playstation. I do miss 3D platformers, and will be playing Sackboy sometime, but it's generally not as many games like that nowadays.

These recent posts by Xbox thread regulars who just got a PS are a little weird. They come off as "Have you heard the gospel?" If the worst you can say about a console is that it sounds like a jet engine, then it must be a pretty good system since if it was lacking great games, people would be very vocal about that.

If you are a new owner, make sure to redeem the 6 months of Apple TV+ offer that expires next month. Not to be confused with the media player, this is a streaming service like Netflix or HBO Max and has some excellent original content no one has heard of. It should stack with other offers, so you can get a 3-month trial from Target or Best Buy, then redeem this PS5 offer for 9 months of this service. At least that's how it worked last year - I can't guarantee that's still the case.

So I just extended my essential plan for one year at the discounted rate of $44.99 and then I upgraded the 374 days of my essential to extra for $30.45 which is basically $75 a year for extra. They did charge me tax on both the essential and the upgrade to extra but all worked out well. If I wanted too I could also add another year of extra at the discounted price of $74.99.

I’m going to try extra and see if I like it. There are a few games I’ve been interested in trying and I noticed more in the catalog I had interest in. Maybe next year I’ll try premium. Didn’t see too much value in it at this time. Plus I could just buy the Psone and psp classics I was interested in since it was only a couple.

Thanks every one for your suggestions on upgrading. I appreciate it.

Yeah, Astro was good. It was a long time since i played a platformer and Astro brought joy along with the dualsense. Ps5 is pretty much quite except the winecoil or whatever I hear when getting close.

I hear no coil wine on mine even when up close. Guess it must vary unit to unit.

He meant "Quiet".

It sounds like Best Buy did you (or your parents) a favor.  Best way to help an addict is to cut him off. :)

I guess I ended up receiving the early version of the ps5 Going by the coil and stick drift. Sucks but at least I have a ps5 its either that or stay on ps4.

I got my PS5 at launch and the coil whine is quite loud. But it's far enough away that it's not super noticeable.

mine makes this crazy loud knocking noise about once every hour, and yet I've never had a problem with it.

 

something inside just goes *knock*.

My ps5 started making these coil whine noise a year ago but now it’s gone. Now it’s just the disc drive that gets annoying sometimes once u insert a disc

That sounds like the disc drive, not coil whine.

 

For what it's worth, my launch PS5 doesn't have it. Nor drift. Just a crappy Dualsense trigger spring that sometimes acts up.
