PS5 thread 2.0

This. It’s always been the way with not just subscription services, but plenty of tech like new phones, tablets and the likes. To use Samsung Galaxy phones as an example:

There’s a “budget” offering which offers pretty much everything a customer needs and it’s actually the one companies expect you to buy.

The middle option is there as the premium version with a few extra bells and whistles and it’s the one they hope you buy. The “flagship” offering.

The top tier model, as you said yourself, is nearly always there to serve the purpose of selling the middle option, as it appears to give it better value compared to the often prohibitively expensive top tier model. It’s the one they don’t expect you to buy.

Sony have got the Samsung Galaxy marketing strategy down to a tee on this, but also want to upgrade what most people are already subscribed to. They’re trying to market the Essential service as the new standard and squeeze an extra €20 a year out of customers. It’s probably going to work on me, to be fair.

A PS3 games I was interested in hasn't had a digital release so unlikely to see it on this. 3D Dot Game Heroes.

Speaking of the PS+ Collection, for some reason Persona 5 is leaving it in May. You need to have added it to your library before that so you can retain access to it.

Not sure why, and no mention of the same happening with any other games. I imagine it's a decision by the devs rather than Sony.

You can get them in the app now.

the app auto uploads are only for the manual captures, the auto trophy ones don't auto upload so as it says it's only the ones you capture.

Should be under library which is the 6 squares with the controller at the bottom bar, and then there's an option at the top that says captures.

Himself and Jeff Grubb gave an update on the rumors yesterday more details here

The 3 rumors were Spartacus reveal, PSVR2 news which ended up being smoke and mirrors and another acquisition by Sony

That is exactly what these people do. They tease rumours for clicks and views then change the goal posts, I'm shocked people still fall for it. They have been dining out on Silent Hill for 2 years now.

In fairness, he did say that the reason he said anything at all was because he needed to announce they were delaying the (usually live) recording of the PS I Love You podcast because of the possibility of the breaking news. Given that being able to watch the recording live as a Patreon supporter, if he's delaying something people have paid for, it's only fair to give a truthful reason.

Both Miller and Jeff Grubb also said on KFGD that they can't announce what they've heard regarding the decision because generally that news can cause issues/risks with insider trading rules if it's announced early, and due to the scale of announcements like that you're generally blacklisted if you reveal it early.

I read Bithell's tweet as him having heard the same story and was genuinely giving a heads up to fellow indies. What does he gain otherwise?

I don't have an issue with people like Gregg talking about rumours. They have industry connections but rumours aren't always right. If it's not true then nobodies at a loss. However, as Markitron said everyone really went hard on the Silent Hill rumours last year to the point I thought for once there might actually be something to it. Those rumours are an annual thing at this point and I ignore them but I actually thought this would be different. Everything else, I take with a pinch of salt. Bully 2 rumours have been floating around in recent months for example.

The issue I have is the people who aren't credible coming out with rumours that have been getting traction in the media these days. The gaming leaks and rumours subreddit is full of these clowns and people actually run with it, like that GTA Mag website or whatever that's known to not credible whatsoever.

People love to gossip. People also like to be the "one in the know" when something is a secret, but it's no good just knowing the secret if no one knows you know the secret. So you have to tell people you know the thing they don't know.

Saying you know about X big announcement is no different than the ould one in the post office saying did you hear about Mary up the road.

Yeah, just got 2 years stacked. Weirdly doesn't work for me if i try it on normal Internet browser but does when click on link direct from reddit app. Thread here....

That reminds me, when you do buy Auto Renew turns on so remember to turn it off if you want.

Just saw this posted on the PlayStation discord
