[Official] Playstation 5

Is that during some special black friday kind of sale? Tried to search but all over 100 bucks.

No. Just got them in early Feb.

When I was monitoring the price for the various coloured versions last month, I noticed the price changes frequently, plus they have buy 3 items at 10% off promo for Amazon US seller.

In accordance to your personal needs,

- Extra DualSense(s)/DualSense Edge (more for customisability with a higher price point) for co-op couch games or preventing disruption to your gameplay when it runs out of juice.

- DualSense Charging Dock to charge multiple DualSenses at once conveniently.

- Interchangeable Face Plates (different colours) if you want give your PS5 a different look.

- M2.SSD (with heat sink) to increase your storage.

- PSVR2 for VR games.

- A great headphone for an immersive experience (check out rtings.com)

- Sign up for Essential (play online, free monthly games etc) or Extra subscription (Essential's benefits + access to PS4 & PS5 game library) or Deluxe (all benefits up to Extra with game trials but it's not popular as the PS1 & PS2 library is small)

That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to add on other accessories, fellow gamers.

Thanks. The ps plus essential free monthly games, once install its forever available for me to play ? Not keen in the online play..will probably get the dual sense charging dock as it is more aesthetically pleasing to look at rather than charging via the usb cable.

It is sufficient to just add them to your library, no need for installation. You can always play them as long as you maintain your subscription (i.e. subscribe to PS+)

I second that. I've been charging my DSes via the USB cable for the past years in a clutter until my charging dock purchase recently. A good use of my going-to-expire TOG points too.

Preorder their A80L OLED TV (55", 65" or 77") to get PS5 free. The promo says limited units available.

I see thanks for the info.
65A80K was $3700 before Mar in all stores,
Now 65A80L is $5999
I think I just buy old model…

Finally, today is the day for Wo Long - 3.3.23. I was a little curious, so I went to watch some reviews though I'm definitely playing it not matter the score. As most have expected, it is deflection focused. It still has the Nioh series' overabundance of equipment (great customisability but it may be overwhelming for some) and weirdly, it had moved backwards to a smaller bestiary like Nioh 1. It's a bummer as I expect it to have a bestiary with variety like the one in Nioh 2. I even saw a familiar enemy (slow and heavy stone statue with a huge sword from Nioh 1) making a return with seemingly the same moves in that few seconds I watched. Homage or reusage? I think there are more AI companions to aid you this time but there's this scepticism whether that will make the game not as challenging. However, I can't wait to cling-clang-clang, deflect my way out of the boss fights and see more of the new gameplay mechanics (Morale ranking system, Spirit gauge etc.) myself. I hope the boons will overshadow the banes.

Is it worth subscribing to ps plus extra or essential is sufficient? Only difference is extra has a library of free games to download right? Are the AAA games removed after a while ?

I also read that ps plus will offers users discounts when purchasing new games. Is it for all games or selected ?

Just got my ps5 not long. Where is a good reliable place to get an additional controller at reasonable price? The sony staff tried to sell me at the shop when collecting but I think the price a bit ex compared to online.
Saw shopee and lazada has some cheaper ones shipped from overseas. Not sure if reliable. Scared may be fake or defective ones.

Price of dualsense sold in local shops like Sony, challenger etc are higher because they comes with 1 year local warranty by Sony. You can save 20-30$ by buying from online platforms like shopee and Lazada but they are export sets so if it breaks down then good luck to you.

Is it worth saving that $30 it’s up to you.

I’ll say it’s quite worth for the PS+ extra if there are games in the game library that you intend to purchase, as you can access those games for free as long as you continue to subscribe to PS+. Once you download the game onto your console it will stay with you forever and you can play it as long as you have an active PS+ membership. If you never continue to sign then you can’t play the game, but the game will still be there in your account.

As for games discount its for selected games only. Not all games.

from my experience, you should wait for discount on the psn plus extra, subscribed for 1 year back in dec'22 for $62.90. the catalogue games are worth it, ghost of Tushima, horizon forbidden west both games, and many more like FF7 remake and so on, and they keep adding new games into the catalogue

The above statement by look-into-me is incorrect though, those games in the catalogue can be removed at anytime by PS and you no longer will have access to them. 1 example is AC odyessy, it was removed from catalogue some time back and you can no longer access it unless you buy it.

his statement is correct for those monthly free games which essential tier can get as well

if you are not in the hurry to get extra controller, can always wait for local sony sales on it, the last sale few months back it was only $72.90 for most of the colours and local stock. bought 1 purple for myself haha

Actually it was $72.90 for all colours including camo.

I snapped up all the camo ones at an outlet to flip

i was playing red dead online until they are removed from the catalogue.

for games in ps plus essential, you only need to log in once to download after that no need to log in anymore and can play offline. the expiry date for the games in ps plus essential is the date your ps plus sub end.

for catalogue, you need to log in every 1 or 2 weeks otherwise the games will be locked.

also take note for those with ps plus extra, do not add or download from the catalogue if you already have the games in your library from ps plus essential. this is because your games will be updated to extra tier and will be locked once they are removed from the catalogue. this might be a bug but have to wait till sony rectified it.

 

[noobiee]

you will not have the option to download from catalogue if you have the game in your library. tried out for HZD personally. it will show as it is in your library and you can't "download" it from catalogue

Even better if you can take with the Sons of the Forest (camo)

NPNT right?

If anyone is interested, Ace Combat Maverick is on sale on US PSN.

I've joined the Playstation Stars previously on both Asia and US PSN and managed to get the points and exchange for store credits. Not bad considering it's quite effortless.
