None of you guys read the damn thing.

 

It doesn't matter if it's it's digital or not. The alleged issue isn't the drive.

 

It's essentially the "conductive thermal grease" that can leak, which can create a mess if the system is vertical.

 

It's likely extremely rare (not that I'd put it vertical because of the drive + cats + doesn't fit for me vertical).

Yep.

 

This is from a Yahoo article via PlayStationLifeStyle.net:

 

"The PS5 console uses a liquid metal cooling system for the APU. In most consoles, the APU and its cooling system will be pressed too tightly together for gravity to be a problem, and most of the 30 million PS5 owners will never have this issue. However, in PS5 consoles where the seal has been damaged, the metal can reportedly become uneven or even spill over time when the console is stored vertically, affecting the efficiency of the cooling system. [...]  If the cooling system has been affected, players could get noisy fans and unexpected shutdowns as the console overheats. However, Wololo has compiled reports from several hardware experts that claim the liquid metal can even spill onto other components and can cause short circuits, effectively killing the motherboard."

Safe to assume $30 is the new $20?  Meaning... when older 1st party PS4 games got their deepest discount, it was to $20.  Ghost of Tsushima Director's is currently $30 at Best Buy.  The Nioh Collection as well.  Good buy price?

 

edit: Placed my order.  For $119.xx including tax, got a new Black controller, PS5 Nioh Collection, and PS5 Ghosts of Tsushima DC.  Can't beat that

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut (PS4) is currently $19.99 at both Amazon and  Best Buy.

 

I think games will still hit $20 but it will take longer.

No Black Friday thread this year? Was always the highlight of my month lol

Still a bit early for the spreadsheet though, no? Have any retailers actually had their ads leaked yet? I know many are running that BS "deals all month long" which imho translates to: "there aren't going to be that many sales/price drops this year so we're going to try and trick you into thinking there are by spreading 'sales' out over a month."

Does it count if you already beat it? You obviously can’t get the trophy to pop a second time.

Yes it counts and you're entered into the contest. Just make sure you "unlock"  the contest from the Sony Rewards page.

I agree about the component cable providing excellent quality for most PS2 games. Like you said, certain games like some of the classic arcade collections I have look kind of meh even with component cables.  I think these games were designed for 480 resolution and the game does not support 720p resolution. 

Just want to add my agreement about component cables being the way to go for PS2 on modern TVs. I went with the one from HD Retrovision (https://www.hdretrov.../other-consoles) and was really impressed and surprised at the quality. One of the best pieces of "retro" gear I've ever bought.

Anyone know of any deals on 12 months PS Plus subscriptions?

CD Keys is the only one I know of currently running any type of discount.

Just got the new Guardians of the Galaxy on Walmart for $25. Absolutely insane this game that just came out is so cheap. It seems mostly pickup only though.

Not to mention it got very positive reviews.

The PS4 version is $25 at Amazon too.

What's that site that has full or nearly full lists of PSN sales that aren't multipage, image-clogged affairs? It also does price tracking, but it isn't PSPrices. I think. I need to remember to bookmark it, navigating sales on the playstation store is a mess.

Are you looking for everything, including cosmetic crap? I've seen some people on reddit who have been compiling lists of DLC that adds meaningful content to games (story, challenges, etc.), and of course there's always psnprofiles to check for DLC that adds trophies.

 

It does look like PSPrices does a decent job cataloguing the DLC for each game, but you'll have to search for each game now that the store's down. Like here's TLOU PS3, and you can click on the DLC tab to see everything: https://en.psprices..../the-last-of-us

Yes! Thank you so much. This is exactly like something I was looking for. It's just so much easier for me to view it all in one place on a computer than on the console, jot things down, get an idea of prices for a total, etc. Sony should be making it easier to take my money, not harder.

Just came back to Playtation and have a question. Does the new Playstation store work on PC for anyone? Everything is fine until I go to a games page. The page doesnt seem to load all of the way and I cannot do anything with what does load. I tried three different browsers with ad blockers all disabled and still nothing. The only antivirus software I have running is Windows 10 built in stuff.

 

Everything works fine on my phone just on my computer it wont work. Is this common or just me?

It "works" for me but the general consensus (and one that I share) is that the new store's layout and accessibility are garbage. They made everything harder for no reason.

 

A lot of us have been using an old version that is still up and running.  I've personally bought a bunch of stuff using this and have had no issues. I've sent you the link.
