Apologies if this has been asked already but how are you supposed to find the game deals via the PS5 interface? I've looked everywhere and can't find a thing.

Are you talking about the PS4 collection you get free with ps+? Or just sales in general

So is ps5 still an impossibility? Or just a matter of slugging it out with alert apps etc. wasn’t sure if it was just completely out until next year or if it’s still getting restocked on n off

You can get them but it’s difficult. Keep an eye on wario64 on Twitter and he usually posts when Sony direct, target, etc are about to do an online batch.

Yeah, sales. All the 60% off stuff. Can't find it for the life of me. Starting to feel dumb and it'll be obvious.

I dont think there is any rush to get either of the new systems out yet. If you have a somewhat decent PC, I dont see anything out yet that isn't playable on that except maybe Demon Souls, and in a side by side comparison to the games that have been dual released on both ps4 and ps5, its not a very dramatic noticeable difference.

Note that they are now selling them as walk in buys at various WalMart stores. They were apparently for a simultaneous in-store drop to take place on the 8th, but some stores just put their inventory out yesterday. Lots of people on Twitter corroborating this showing off their shiny new consoles, which led to other people rushing to their local Walmart and in at least one case getting the cops called.

for what its worth I wouldn't buy a PS5 right now. It still has issues. I've been playing Demon Souls and Sack Boy and COD on it since launch. Zero issues till friday, when I decided to hook up my USB hard drive and move Just Cause 4 to the USB since i wasn't playing it and it was sucking up space on my SSD. Moved no problem, then I started playing Sack Boy, game crash and froze my PS4 on a black screen. The alleged "brick" I've seen people talk about. Waiting a few minutes and cold booting, it sat on a black screen for 5 mins but I knew it was just repairing SSD/USB drives, eventually came back - I think forcing a power shutdown during repair fucks you up even more which is the problem a lot of people have, forcing system reset etc.

For 10 days I had zero problems with no USB drive attached, the minute I reattached my drive problems all over. Keeping it disconnected again for now until Sony confirms a firmware fix. A few other people in discord have corroborated it, no issues with no USB drive, crashes every now and then with it. So yeah, don't use a USB drive for PS4 games for now, its no bueno.

I've had the exact same model (8TB WD) usb drive attached to my Series X since launch no issues at all.

I do like the PS5, Demon Souls is great and every PS4 game is running fantastic on it, and I bet even without next gen enhancements Cyberpunk is gonna run great on it.

So cdkeys.com is legit for cheap psn cards? I see they still have 12 month's for $29

There’s really no reason not to get one at retail price though if you can actually get one and game a decent amount on consoles. PS4/xbone games load like 10 times faster everywhere, higher resolution when it’s dynamic, and essentially solid 60fps. Kinda like saying you don’t need to upgrade your graphics card on your PC because it still plays almost every game. Technically true, but not really the point. And next Christmas I’m guessing it will be a bundle with a $30 ish game for the same price

Yeah they are. I’ve used them multiple times, zero issues.

Yep, they've been around forever and never had any issues with them.

I guess he... puts on sunglasses... got a brick.

I had my credit card information stolen shortly after using cdkeys a few years ago. Might have been a coincidence, but I don't feel like risking it again.

I use them for PS+, but I would never trust any grey market site with my actual CC info. Not normally a fan of giving Paypal any business, but in cases like that they make a good layer of security.

I don't pay for shit with my actual cards anymore. It's all Paypal or my Cash App card that I transfer money manually to from my bank.

I have a CC with a super low limit i only use for sketchy online stuff.

If it gets compromised not a huge deal as it has no automatic payments on it and a low limit.
