Re: August 2026 PS Plus Essential Games Available to Download Now

@SleepyNick I mean. I don't spend all day every day here. Not nearly a fraction the amount of the "regulars". I don't know the guy and I can't read minds. He may be well known by other regulars here. I don't study user names or go comment hunting to look at past comments to try to lean their behavior or to try to dig up dirt on them to use in the present discussion. He's not a celebrity and it shouldn't even be a thing like "What? You don't know who Czar_Khastik is? How could you know know him and his gig?". Quite the unrealistic expectation. As far as his user name goes, same thing. I could have a user name i.hate.cats, but actually love cats. Expecting me to automatically know a person based on their user name is just weird.

Anyway. Back to the OP in question. "I will wait for them to arrive physically in my mailbox." How the hell am I just automatically supposed to know that they weren't even being serious? "But you're supposed to know who this guy is", is an unrealistic expectation. The reason I even said they were lying to being with is because Signalis would run them over $200 for a physical copy, not that they couldn't afford $200 but also... there is no physical edition of Big Walk. It would be a pretty natural thought to feel the person was lying for no reason.

Re: PS5's Monthly Active Users Increased Again, PS Plus Making More Money Than Ever

@nessisonett Imo if £80 one time a year is too much, perhaps it's time to find a new hobby... or a better job... or look at other spending habits? I'm disabled and only receive my very low disability income and I can afford it perfectly fine with zero issues. I think look at other reasons as to why it might be too much for you. Not trying to be rude, trying to be helpful so you can keep your PS+.

@nessisonett You need to get on the sale cycle, so that your subscription runs out when they have the Days of Play and Black Friday sales. Then you can resubscribe for a year of PS+ Premium for £80 each year at the same time. That equates to less than £8 a month. If that's breaking someone bank, they have larger issues than PS+. Even at regular price it's only £10 a month when you sign up for an annual plan. For £8-£10 a month you're getting access to 900-1000 games. It's still a great deal either way. Game Pass has half the amount of games.

Re: Angry PlayStation Fans Propose PS5 Blackout in Protest of Sony's Disc Decision

LMFAO! These same people acted like their life was over when PSN was down for 5 hours, regardless of the fact they could still play physical AND digital single player games. Now we're expected to believe they're going to intentionally not use their PS5 for an entire week? Hell, they didn't even make it 5 hours with no online multiplayer before having complete meltdowns. 😂😂😂

Re: 'They May As Well Eliminate the Hardware Too': Japanese Dev Says Sony 'Doesn't Understand' the Feelings of Fans

“If they’re going to go as far as eliminating physical packages, they may as well eliminate the hardware too. A television would be enough. Why would you need the console? If you’re going to get rid of physical games, you may as well go all the way.”

What an incredibly stupid and uneducated thing to say. Guy has obviously never tried to play something like a racing game via streaming instead of downloaded. With that comment, anything else he says has no validity. He threw all of that out the window with the stupid "get rid of the hardware too!!" bs.

Re: Sales Data Paints a Very Grim Picture for Physical PS5 Games in the USA, UK

@ShadowRJ And? Are we supposed to get them for free after being delisted? What if you had bought them physically for PS3 and the discs got scratched, broken, or stolen? Would you just get new copies for free? Or would you have to pay high eBay prices to replace them? Meanwhile... my digital copies are all still good and I don't have to re-purchase them. Pretty much every delisted game that isn't an online game that had it's servers shut down is available in one format or another. There are tons of places that have them available to download for PS3, PC, whatever... even if you can no longer purchase them through legit means.

@PuppetMaster Prove that your account is the one that purchased the game or that you didn't delete the account that purchased it. Also prove that you are online and signed in to PSN, and that your PS3 is activated for game content. Prove that you didn't try to re-download it to reactivate the license. Also that your PS3's date and time are correct. Prove that your CMOS battery isn't dead. Video proof of this stuff or it's a non issue that can can be fixed on your end.
