Ok apparently i have to get some batteries because my tv remote is dead, haven't used it since I canceled Netflix 2 years ago or so.

In the meantime what are the best games to play on ps+? I can download any games in the library and play forever, right?

Should I just get the premium tier or is there a decent catalog of games on the poor man tier?

And is there any must have games not on ps+ I need to get that justify the 80 bucks for the disc drive and what, 70 for the disc?
You can buy any game digitally in the psn so unless you want physical games you can skip it.

I would get the top level PS+ plan for now. Grab your tablet, use opencritic, and figure out what is worth playing based on when it's leaving PS+. The monthly games you get to keep and play forever, provided you have a PS+ subscription (even the lowest level works) - but the PS+ game catalog, things ebb and flow there. The first party games seem to stay there indefinitely. You can stream them (if your connection is good enough) or download and play from hdd.

Discs are only needed if you're buying used games, or buy a ton of games and want to resell them after you're done with them. The PS store has everything in it, plus subscription or not. You can buy/keep things there forever* (* at some point there will likely be some crazyness in the future with all of these digital services)

There's absolutely no reason to spend an additional $25 for Premium on top of the already crazy $135 for Extra unless there's a bunch of really old games on the cloud streaming list that you're just dying to play. Extra has everything that someone who's been out of the console game for a long time needs.

A couple weeks ago it would have been a good idea since both Premium and Extra were on sale for $99, but Sony's subscription sales are so rare that you probably won't see another one until summer and possibly all the way to Black Friday.

Which ps5 games are must plays?
(in no particular order)

Sony games
God of War
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Ghost of Tsushima
Spider-Man
The Last of Us
Uncharted series (this is the only Sony IP that's worth playing past the first game... the ones above this you should just pretend the sequels never existed)
Bloodborne (just be aware that even on PS5 Pro it runs the same as it did on a PS4 and only the load times will be improved, reason #569438 that Sony are the biggest assholes in the games industry)
Demon's Souls
Days Gone (PS5 remaster is coming in April, but it won't be added to Extra for a long time and knowing Sony they'll try to "fix" the "problematic" parts of the game ruining it in the process... PS4 version is already great on PS5 anyway)
Returnal

Third party games that are on PS+ Extra
Control
Death Stranding
Guardian's of the Galaxy
Remnant II
Prey
Jedi Survivor

There's a bunch more good games on there but it mostly depends on what genres you're interested in.

Demons souls remake is one of the best visual and auditory showcases of the PS5 hardware along with Astros playroom (free) and astrobot.

Bloodborne is possibly the best PS4 exclusive, but as said it's locked to 30fps and it is very jarring.. but it's one of the best Fromsoft games ever made.
