I've still got games that I want to buy where the sale ends on June 20. I'm trying to wait until Stars points is working again, but then Sony announces more sales without an ETA on Stars.
@Thumper I'm not sure what you consider decent, but I've seen it at 50% off multiple times. The only reason I didn't get it yet was hope that it would eventually come to Playstation.
It sounds like it's not totally fixed, it can come back and you need to close the game and re-launch to fix it.
‘Unfortunately the issue is still not fully remedied and can return full-force after being teleported back to the temple after defeating a colossus. You need to fully relaunch the game to bring the correct environmental textures back. Quitting to the main menu and reloading your save won't fix it.’
I just realized that it offers The Royal Edition of Final Fantasy XV. I haven't played my copy yet, so I never bought any of the DLC. This will save me some money.
Another reason to not get the PS5 version is if you want to play local co-op, everyone will have to use a PS5 controller. With the PS4 version, you can use PS4 and PS5 controllers.
Deliver Us the Moon is one of those games that have problems with backward compatibility on PS5 and never got fixed. I ended up buying it on XBox instead when it was on sale.
@ShiningStar Do you have a PS5? If so, have you noticed any problems with Pinball Arcade on it? I'm asking because Pinball Arcade was on the list of games that boot but with issues on the PS5. I have all the tables myself and I would hate to run into issues whenever I get a PS5.
I highly recommend PSPrices. It does everything the new webstore does not. It includes pictures and videos of the games, and it has a wishlist. I even added all the games on my Switch wishlist, and if a game is available on XBox, I added that version too in case something goes on sale on XBox and not PSN. I recently bought Shantae and the Seven Sirens on Xbox instead because it went on sale. You can even see all the new games that came out recently on all 3 systems in one place. I don't have to check each store individually anymore.
One of my computers made the same noise when I first turned it on after getting it shipped to me. I opened it and found a loose cable against the fan. It happens.
@get2sammyb Have you considered doing an article about the games that are "exhibiting issues" and what those exact issues are? I know there is a list, but it appears that some games have worse issues than others.
@get2sammyb Please do a review of Play Show Jeopardy. I'm interested in how well it works as well as what is included in the price. I did a search and apparently it's a free download for phones with in-game purchases, so I'd like to know what I'm paying for and what the in-game purchases are.
This sucks. My friends and I play the Knowledge is Power and the Jackbox games all the time. I assume the Jackbox games will be ok? Why would they leave these games off the compatibility list if you can't play them without the app?
Do I need to start taking screenshots of my 50+ wishlist? It only has PS4 games in it, but I don't want it to disappear, I'd never remember what was on it.
I've already got those movies in 3D, so 4K is useless.
@ralphdibny I got the 2 MCU movies in 3D from the UK. I got Spiderverse in 3D from Australia (in full english). I got Venom in 3D from Germany (it's in full english too).
Dark Phoenix, Predator and MI6 didn't get a 3D release anywhere
I have no room for another console, and I have a huge PS4 backlog. I need to get a list of the "1%" of games that aren't backwards compatible before I think of replacing it.
Games in my wishlist that are on sale for the first time: Moons of Madness - 40% off at $17.99 La-Mulana - 34% off at $9.89 La-Mulana 2 - 30% off at $17.49
Looking at my wishlist, My Friend Pedro is now 40% off at $11.99. Also, Blacksad is 70% at $14.99. I'll be getting My Friend Pedro. Does anyone know if Blacksad was ever fixed or is it still a mess?
Everyone comparing this to the SNES/N64 game prices, it's not the same thing. Back then, the bigger games cost more because it cost more to produce the game carts with physical memory inside them. The bigger the game's size, the more it cost. When the playstation games came out on CDs, the prices were much lower than the N64 carts.
@Nyne11Tyme do you know about Sony Rewards? You get points for each dollar spent in the store, and for registering Sony DVDs/Blurays, and movie tickets.

You do realize that the tagline and first sentence in this article are from Beauty and the Beast and not Little Mermaid, right?
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Swings Back with Stunning PS5 Gameplay Trailer
Yeah, but will it have an Arachnophobia mode? That seems to be the growing trend now.

Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?
I asked in the other article, but I'll ask again. Have they said anything about blu-ray 3D support?

There are 3 things I'm looking for:

Re: Hands On: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Massively Builds on Predecessors
@KidBoruto It was $49.94 when I pre-ordered it back in July 2020
Re: Hands On: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Massively Builds on Predecessors
@KidBoruto Thanks for that! I couldn't find anything about the upgrade the last time I searched for it.
Re: Hands On: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Massively Builds on Predecessors
I pre-ordered this a long time ago for PS4 when there was a pre-order discount on Amazon. Is there a free upgrade to the PS5 digital copy?

This was one of the games that had backwards compatibility issues with the PS5. Does this mean they are going to fix it?
Re: Poll: Did E3 2021 Suck?
You didn't have Take 2 on the worst poll. That was the worst by far. At least all the other companies announced a game.
Re: Pinball FX Is Coming to PS5 in 2021, But You'll Need to Rebuy Your Tables

Re: Little Nightmares II Demo Available to Download Now on PS5, PS4
I didn't think that PS4 demos worked on PS5. Does this mean that they can get the rest of the demos to work on PS5 now?
Re: Rejoice! Joe's Diner Has Gotten a PS5 Patch
@TechaNinja I think it's 1.02, but I don't have it installed nor do I have a PS5. But, the warning isn't on the store page anymore.
Re: Rejoice! Joe's Diner Has Gotten a PS5 Patch
Zero Escape: The Nonary Games was on the list of 100 "bootable" games. It just got a patch that fixes whatever the problems were.
