I think the takeaway here is to not communicate blanket assumptions about how policy has changed based on 1 or two experiences.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure (2011 PSP game) just launched on Steam, GOG, PS4 & Switch.

My favorite game ever.  Finally officially localized 

My PUR membership expires on March 13 and I don't plan to renew. I should still get a monthly coupon for March, correct?

Correct.  Also note that the $5 cert will only work while Pro is active.

I'm trying to keep my expectations in check. It almost seems unrealistic for them to finally fix Pip to evolve properly after all these years.

Disc PS5, Acceptable for $395 (launch model)

I bought one of these in December at the same price.  No issues, but definitely open box and system restored.  To clarify, this particular listing is an older 2021 model but not launch.

Big drop for the Chaos Double Pack on steam.  I bought it at $24 last month and now it's down to $15.

I was 10 minutes late to the gs site.  Got all the way to the confirm button to get an oos error.  Going to try instore.

Just to save other people time, here are my results.  I checked two stores.  No success at either.  At one, an employee was willing to search for the sku i provided (product page on the gs site).  He was able to pull up the CE but had no ability to preorder or ring up the product.  I just don't think it's active in the system at this point.

Not sure if this is a legit sale or a price mistake, but it looks like Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is 80% off ($2.99):

Legit sale. It was also $2-$3 digitally on eshop for a few days around Thanksgiving.

Regarding gmg purchases - just a heads up that they recently sent me an email with a unique 5% off voucher.  Email titled "Make Your Comeback?  Extra 5% Off Your Next Game"

I still can't pull the trigger on Days Gone at $9.80.  It's probably because I just finished Horizon: FW and I know it's going to be 6-12 months before I can handle another game in similar format due to buildup of the open world apathy debuff.

 

$10.16 according to PayPal.  I think I'm going to start Horizon Zero Dawn as my big game. 

For what it's worth, I felt ZD was the better of the two Horizon games.  Very much worth $10.  

I'm super tempted on DGE; got any feedback or any of the rest of you rabble rousers have some input?

Extra also is getting a NA physical release - I'm going that route.  You may be aware, but dungeon crawlers are a very niche and grindy subgenre.  I like them from time to time but for some reason tend to stall out and not finish them.  Handheld is definitely the best way to play them though.

I love a good glitch. As someone who loves fire emblem but had trouble getting into stuff like shin Megami tensei, would people recommend this game?

It's a successor to the original Harvest Moon games.  With basic action rpg gameplay added.  Think something like Stardew Valley with greater emphasis on combat / dungeon grinding and more anime influences.  I haven't played RF5 yet, but I played all of RF4S and expect more of the same.

Rune Factory 5 digital is likely a price error on the GS site at $17.99.  Certificates apply toward it as well.

The games I enjoyed playing the most this year come down to Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and Hades.  Very different games so I'll just say co-favorites. 
 

Favorite '22 releases are technically Persona 5 Royal and Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero.  But I had played these years ago.
 

Happy new year, cags.
