Demon's Souls, Returnal and Miles Morales are all on PS Plus Extra so there's no need to buy them if you subscribe to that tier. I've a feeling Rift Apart will be on it at some point.

I know there's a bargain thread but this is more of a general mention for anyone who doesn't usually check out Amazon, I saw Alan Wake Remastered is €15 for PS4 or PS5, most of my games seem to be from Amazon in the last year or so. Argos have been terrible for getting any games since I've had a PS5 and Smyth's seem to be missing some newer games too.

Ghostwire Tokyo is €35 on Amazon, €60 in Argos, nothing in Smyth's. Metro Exodus is €17, nothing in Argos or Smyth's.

Be sure to check out the used prices too, often they're just Amazon returns likely from someone who beat the game and sent it back. If the game isn't on sale there will likely be a good price on the return stuff.

Buying games in Smyth's when half price and selling to GameStop when finished with them for credit to use for PSVR2 has been my go to this gen. They seem to reduce games quickly for limited time.

First gen I've sold games. Makes more sense with PS Plus..games more likely to be on the service at some point.

I've sold Riders Republic, Ghostwire, Deathloop, GotG, True Colors and a few others for more than I paid for them.

Smyth's have Gotham Knights 60e down from 70e. First time I've ever seen reduction before a release.

80e in GameStop.

Cannot wait for Rescue Mission 2 and Alyx on PSVR2.

Playstation Stars is not available here, you can sign up via the mobile app

CastorTroy · 13-10-2022 10:02am

Just got the mail now and was able to sign up quickly in the app. Not that I expect to get many points.

Zero-Cool · 13-10-2022 10:24am

Signed up for Stars as well. Just interested in the wallet funds, ye can keep the nft bollox. Interesting to see what kind of events and campaigns they have.

martyos121 · 13-10-2022 11:06am

How many points do you get per euro spent?

Zero-Cool · 13-10-2022 11:34am

I can absolutely see people buy full price games they may not even want in order to level up their Stars :(

It's 5000 points for €20 - An example of games for points - Hades is 6250 points, so a little over 20 quid.

Zero-Cool · 13-10-2022 11:49am

What's the music challenge about?

Zero-Cool · 13-10-2022 11:52am

Ah, answer to the music cord one.

martyos121 · 13-10-2022 12:00pm

So if I launch Days Gone, does that mean I get a collectible digital turd?

Days gone is a bit **** alright 😅

Its a weird one. I think its terrible but people that like it are die hard fans. Wont hear a bad word about it. Not much middle ground.

JimBurnley · 13-10-2022 3:35pm

Days Gone is amazing, honestly my favourite game of PS4 era

It is skewed a fair bit by the absolute state of the game at release. Playing that game for the first time on PS4 in May 2019 Vs playing it for the first time on PS5 in Nov 2020 is a completely different experience.

DaveyDave · 13-10-2022 3:53pm

I played Days Gone after it was updated so didn't have the issues people at launch did that turned them off but I found I had to force myself to finish it as it just dragged on way too long.

Days gone is great with a great setting but it's too long. I enjoyed it though

Kingp35 · 14-10-2022 10:23am

I've been placed on a waiting list for PlayStation Stars. It says it may take up to 2 months before I can use it!

It was about ten hours longer than needed to be. I feel when they went over the mountain its when it should have finished

What a rip off

martyos121 · 18-10-2022 2:43pm

That price would be fine, if they replaced the touch pad with an OLED screen and turned it into a console.

”For the Players” they say.

“Forget the players” is much more apt.

More than half the price of the digital version of the console. That's insane.

TitianGerm · 18-10-2022 2:50pm

€90 more expensive than Microsoft Elite controller.

The greed on show from Sony is staggering.

jj880 · 18-10-2022 2:52pm

Locking customisable dead zones behind this price when standard dual sense are plagued with stick drift issues. Deary me.

Penn · 18-10-2022 3:01pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119739853#Comment_119739853

Yeah that's pretty much my take on it, except I couldn't even force myself to finish it. There wasn't enough variation in the gameplay or missions to warrant how long the game went on for. It got to the point where the game was genuinely just making me angry.

The core gameplay and the world they built was great, and I'm sure the hordes would be fun (only did one small one at a trainyard which was easy enough), but the balance shifted to where everything annoyed me, and getting hit by a sniper while riding to a mission just pushed me over the edge and I deleted it, even though I knew another 5 or so hours would beat the game.

They have lost their **** marbles. I wanted one of these but I am not touching it at that crazy price.

PSVR2 is gonna be €750, calling it now.

Penn · 18-10-2022 3:41pm

I was annoyed I bought a new controller a week before they announced the Dualsense Edge, but now I'm delighted. For €150 I'd have gone for it. For €200 I'd have struggled to justify it. €240 though? Nonsense.

DaveyDave · 18-10-2022 3:44pm

There's a market for it, of course they're going to cash in on it. The problem is people will still buy them at that price.

sniper_samurai · 18-10-2022 4:40pm

Closer to €50-€60 if you get the version with the full kit(currently €150 in GameStop) and a whopping €110 more than the Core version without the accessories. And the Xbox pad has a wireless charger in the accessories.

Absolute rip off, the base model Scuf is currently €40 cheaper than it.
