I was just being facetious but not everyone has PS Plus. I just think both companies made cheaper alternative consoles for parents (they will get the cheapest on the shelf) and also those who will have both, you will buy the expensive one as your main and the cheaper one as your alt.

Just thinking too. Game sharing is still a thing right, a few friends buy the cheaper digital console and split the cost of the digital price of games.

Digital only does make more sense when game sharing. I game share myself on both consoles. Still tend to buy the odd hardcopy game if I think gamesharing partner has no interest in that game and if the price is too good to pass up.

You still have all of the same options as digital with the disc version, you just have more as well.

Well, another real world example. Wreckfest PS5 €25 on Smyths, €0 with PS Plus.

Erm........

With the disc version, you can still buy digital. But the same can't be said the other way around.

How many PS5 games have you bought to have already saved €100?

I bought Ghost of Tsushima for around €45 on Amazon, cleared it and sold it on adverts for €40.

I bought AC Valhalla from Ubisoft for around €60, played it then sold it for €50.

Bought RE8 from Smyths for €60, will finish it and sell it for around €45.

If I'd have bought them all digitally they would have cost me more than €150 in total with no chance of getting any money back.

Buying the discs means i spent €165, got my value out of the games and recouped €135. There's the extra outlay covered with change over for an older title or two.

Obviously different people have different circumstances but as someone that collects alot of weird and obscure horror movie stuff, never, ever tell you're wife what the actual cost was.

Amateur mistake.

Indeed. Someone I know got a €300 model kit and got the shop to put a €40 price tag on it so he could tell the missus it was that price.

Someone I know just spent €250 on 4 horror movie vinyl soundtracks but will tell his missus he traded them with another collector for several blurays.

Back onto bargains, retro classic G n G is free for ps plus users

Any idea if it is no longer active after your PS Plus expires?

Are those PGA tour games any good?

I played the 2019 one. Good game but tough, certainly tougher than the Tiger Woods games anyway.

I think so, looks like more of a PS plus sale price than a PS plus subsciption game. Now I've looked it up and see that admittedly full price is showing as only €1.99, but a free game's a free game!

I'd say it's permanent, the game was free for a week upon launch of Arcade Stadium on Switch as well.

Anyone ever used shop4ie.com? Loved Persona 5 Royal last year and Strikers is on there for €41 compared to the €45 on PSN. It's only €4 I know but I'd prefer that hard copy to sell on if I don't like the Musou style gameplay. Would you be hit by customs charges?

Ordered my copy from there and it arrived with no issue. Took a while though as it was shipped from the UK via Switzerland.

It's €42 delivered from Amazon Spain.

Or you could just walk into GameStop and get it for €45.

I'm guessing they'll pop up on ea play shortly so shall hold out.

The EA games aren't very good, learning curve plateaus

Death Stranding is 17 quid in Argos

Good stuff. €70 on the PS store

Mafia Definitive Edition from Amazon works out at about €14.79, seems a decent price.
