Remember to turn off auto-renew for Plus as it will renew at full price even if there is an offer on at the time.

Yes you can definitely stack which is great. I'm now subscribed out to August 2022.

Out of curiosity i went back to see if i could buy it discounted again and it was showing up for me as continuing to August 2023. So i guess you could buy it out indefinitely. :pac:

Depends on your speed
I’ve 30M on a good day - some games were ok. But some gave me issues - in comparison nvidia streaming used to be really bad too.

For now I just download what I want to play.

I find its perfect all the time if it is connected by wire.
But on wifi it can be hit and miss.

Serial Cleaner for 3 euro is surely worth a punt. ACG gave it a 'Buy'.

Tempted by Telling Lies for 8 euro as well, seems like a very unique detective game.

I thought Telling Lies was terrible. It's a clever concept but incredibly boring. You are just watching videos for hours trying to figure out what is going on.

Spelunky 2 on there for €12…. First one was great and second one supposed to be better again!

I'm on 300gb Virgin. The games I want to play can't be downloaded.

30Mb might be fine, 300Mb might not unusable. What's important isn't the speed (above a certain level), it's the ping. Essentially the ping is the amount of time it takes to send and receive a signal, and isn't necessarily tied to your connection speed. Go to speedtest.net and check what it says your ping is, although even this won't tell you what the ping to PS Now servers are.

I'm not sure what you'd need for a good experience on PS Now but generally I think about 50ms or lower is considered a good ping for online gaming so that might be a rough guide. Anything above 100 and you'll probably see noticeable lag.

This is a long way of saying, the only real way to see is to try it.

Fortnite or Overwatch never lags and films download in seconds so that should be fine. Just didn't wanna was 50 quid.

Just checked, my ping is 7.

Zero-Cool · 05-06-2021 12:37AM

The vanishing of Ethan carter for 2.84 seems like a must as well. Some absolutely brilliant indies in this sale, so many unknowns for me though, sure to be some hidden gems in there.

Mr.Fantastic · 05-06-2021 10:18AM

Disco Elysium has a bit off ? Wonder if it will come to game pass

Zero-Cool · 07-06-2021 07:58PM

Just saw this today, Kingdom come deliverance: royal edition is 10 euro on psn. Going back to 40 on Wednesday. That's a great bargain for so much content. Tough game though, not your regular rpg 'em up.

A glitch made me lose an hour on my previous playthrough and i sold it. For a tenner, would definitely give it another go.

dinneenp · 08-06-2021 01:45PM

Hi,
Looking for a PS4 controller, will only be used occasionally when my son has a friend over playing with him so doesn't have to be dualshock etc.
Any bargains out there? Saw this and other ones around the same price but get bad reviews.

Thanks,
Pa.

Zero-Cool · 08-06-2021 11:11PM

When does PS Plus go v back to full price does anyone know? On the store on console and it doesn't say.

Also, if a game days sale date until 9th June, is that midnight tonight or midnight tomorrow night?

I got a very good reviewed 3rd party controller a while ago. For most games it's fine, but for golf games where timing is critical, there's a lag and makes the game unplayable. Never getting 3rd party controllers again!

Psplus offer ends at 9am on Thursday, days of Play Sale ends at 11.59pm tomorrow. Just look at the product description.
Also there will be another sale starting tomorrow anyway

Is it some kind of PS Plus special sale? Seems to be a massive difference between sale prices and prices for Plus members. Don;t think I've noticed such big gaps before. Like AC Odyssey is 44.79 sale price and 19.59 for Plus members.

They usually do a PS Plus Double Discount sale once a year.

Double Discounts for PS Plus members

Some really good ps plus prices in that sale. Wouldn't realise just looking at platprices. Psprices shows a much better picture. These seem like great deals.

World war z - 9
Hitman 2 - 14

Platprices shows the sale price and the psplus sale price. Much easier to read compared to psprices

bmorrissey · 09-06-2021 12:56PM

Stick of truth and Fractured but whole both for sale for less than a tener. amazing games.

That's weird, only showing regular sale price for me, must look again.

Yupp, only showing base sale price for me. On mobile, maybe that's it.
