Thank you for the PSA. Unfortunately, many people will never tap on it and notice they are no longer accruing points. It's poor implementation of the new terms of use.
Excellent! This is the game I play the most currently. I figured the PS5 Pro would enhance the game naturally with better performance, but direct support is even better!
I am greatly enjoying the naysayers slowly but surely getting owned. Sony earned my $10 long before this. Providing an upgrade path is a consumer-friendly move I'd like to support.
I like Shawn Layden, but he's definitely wrong here, so I'm glad he isn't still the CEO. Sony's blockbuster games are what they do better than anyone else. It's their competitive advantage.
If you're impatient, you end up paying for it. It's even sillier to pay more for early access. I will leave you with immortal words of wisdom that have been my compass for many years:

@tangyzesty What strange hill to die on. You can buy the stand and disc drive if you want them. Is the problem that Sony is not selling an $800 model with those included?
@Americansamurai1 100% this, which is why it is particularly infuriating when Microsoft uses their poor business decisions as justification for buying up large swathes of the gaming market.
I'd rather it not sell out because if it does, it means: A) Sony cannot keep up with demand, which is bad for business and consumers B) Scalpers will have more power.
Eh. It was mostly folks who are not the target audience of the PS5 Pro being loud and complaining and physical media fans in existential crisis mode. Those of us who are the target audience and are logical enough to understand the price makes sense will either buy the PS5 Pro if they want or they won't. It is simply another option on the market for those that want their games to play better and there's nothing wrong with that.

This looks very exciting!!

Re: PS5, PS4 Fans Are Worried Cash Rewards Have Been Removed from PS Stars
Confirmed I only see the $10 option her in the USA. I usually bought the $5 credit whenever I had enough points.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Offers $20 Premium 'Pay-to-Hear' Audio Tech
A new low for a game series and company full of lows! There are (dumb) consumers out there who will buy this subscription, which is why it exists.
Re: Sep 2024 USA Sales: Astro Bot PS5 a Top Seller, Only FC 25 Above It
Well-deserved success! I hope we get more Astro Bot and other games like this.
Re: PS5 Pro Patch Incoming for Helldivers 2
Excellent! This is the game I play the most currently. I figured the PS5 Pro would enhance the game naturally with better performance, but direct support is even better!
Re: These Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Comparisons Are Absolutely Insane
I am greatly enjoying the naysayers slowly but surely getting owned. Sony earned my $10 long before this. Providing an upgrade path is a consumer-friendly move I'd like to support.
Re: In Europe, 78% of Silent Hill 2 Copies Were Purchased on PS5
I'd like to see the spread on Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero.
Re: Some Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Fans Are Furious It's Not Getting DLC
Sony must have decided they can make a ton more money with a full Venom spin-off than DLC.
Re: Spider-Man 2 Won't Receive Any PS5 Story DLC
They probably decided they can make a ton more money making a Miles Morales-style expandalone game featuring Venom.

@DonJorginho
Crybaby lefties? What is wrong with you?
Re: Heresy as Space Marine 2 Community Questions Saber's 'Bullsh*t Nerfs', Drops Review Bombs
Gosh, another whiny community. Steam needs to do something to stop review bombing. Legitimate feedback should go through the proper channels.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Exec Shawn Layden Says There's Been a 'Collapse' in Gaming Creativity
I like Shawn Layden, but he's definitely wrong here, so I'm glad he isn't still the CEO. Sony's blockbuster games are what they do better than anyone else. It's their competitive advantage.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: PS5 Software Actually Sells for Once
I am genuinely surprised the PlayStation 4 did not outsell both Xboxes.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Sounds Like a Ridiculously Good PS5 Upgrade
Sony decided they wanted $10 from me. Well played.
Re: Space Marine 2 Rallies 4.5 Million Players, Content Updates Inbound
The success is deserved. The game is a banger and they did everything right with it.
Re: Opinion: The Price of Playing PS5 Games Day One Is Getting Higher and Higher
@Voltan
I sort of agree, but there are way too many dumb consumers out there and it will affect us all.

Re: Until Dawn's Movie Lives to See Another Day on 25th April
It would have been better if this released around Halloween. Horror films seem to do better around that time.
Re: PS5 Pro Makes Quality, Performance Modes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard Better Than Ever
@tangyzesty
What strange hill to die on. You can buy the stand and disc drive if you want them. Is the problem that Sony is not selling an $800 model with those included?
Re: Manga Masterpiece Death Note Is Getting a PS5, PS4 Adaptation
Could the gameplay be something like Heavy Rain or the Dark Pictures Anthology? I like that style of game.
Re: PS5 Pro Makes Quality, Performance Modes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard Better Than Ever
Shhh. We're only supposed to speak negatively of the PS5 Pro so as to not enrage those that do not understand market forces.
Re: Huge Action RPG Wayfinder Has Been Completely Reworked Ahead of Full 1.0 Release on PS5 Next Week
This game went from not interesting me at all to becoming highly interesting. I hope they stick the landing.
Re: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Goes Nuclear, Sells Over 3 Million Copies in First 24 Hours
@EchoRange
There are only 11 comments above yours. The very first comment mentions it, unfortunately. On the plus side, it was spelled right.
Re: PlayStation Going on Tour in Musical Concert Next Year, Music from Sony's Biggest Games
I would like to go if they come to my area in the United States.
Re: Helldivers 2 Concludes 60-Day Overhaul Plan with Latest Balance Update on PS5, PC
Another exquisite update. The game has been fun as hell all along, but keeps getting better!
Re: Publishing Director Calls Out Shameless Baldur's Gate 3 Collector's Edition Scalpers
If you buy from scalpers, you are the reason scalpers exist.
Re: Acclaimed PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Really Couldn't Be Selling Any Better
You love to see it. You love to see it!
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Immediately Tops 1 Million Sales at Launch
You love to see it!
Re: PS5 Pro, 30th Anniversary Consoles Now Available at More Retailers
I was able to get a PS5 Pro order in at Target. It isn't much, but I got a 5% discount that way.
Re: Until Dawn Is One of Sony's Worst Performing PC Ports to Date
The price wasn't right on this one.
Re: Detroit: Become Human PS4, PC Sales Evolve Past 10 Million Paid Units
Excellent game! It's a shame Sony let Quantic Dream get away. I liked the fruits of their partnership.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio (PS5) - Brilliant, Memorable RPG Is One of Atlus' Finest Works
I am excited to play it!
Re: Until Dawn (PS5) - Killer Teen Slasher Snags a Pricey New-Gen Remake
No upgrade path = no interest. Sony had the option of $10 or $0 from me. They chose $0.
Re: PS5 Pro Boost Is Pretty Clear Cut in The Last of Us 2 Remastered Comparison Video
Let me buy the PS5 Pro from Target, you cowards!!!
Re: Random: Surgeon Uses PS5's DualSense Controller in Remote Medical Procedure
Incredible use of technology, if true! You can't believe anything Fox News says.
Re: Astro Bot's Excellent Soundtrack Is Now Available on Music Streaming Services
Excellent! Now I can have "Bot of War" blasting through the speakers all over my house!
Re: Saber Interactive Partners with Paramount on Biggest Avatar Game in Franchise History
@AgentMantis
Considering how they nailed Space Marine 2, I'm hopeful they'll land in the other 10% of your purported ratio.
Re: First Review Scores for PS5's Metaphor: ReFantazio, Silent Hill 2 Are Glowing
@DennisReynolds @PuppetMaster
Ah, but then you go down the rabbit hole of who REALLY copied who.
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for October and November 2024
@TruestoryYep @Rog-X
Ah. I didn't realize only first party exclusives (excluding Astro Bot) count as games to be played on a PS5. My mistake.
Re: Microsoft Is Investigating Why Devs Are Prioritising PS5 Over Xbox
@Americansamurai1
100% this, which is why it is particularly infuriating when Microsoft uses their poor business decisions as justification for buying up large swathes of the gaming market.
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for October and November 2024
Are those "tHe Ps5 hAs No GaEmZ!!" folks still around?
Re: PlayStation Fans Gleefully Snitch on 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro Scalpers
@Rgeneb1
Nah. The problem isn't either. It's the people who buy from scalpers.
Re: Games Workshop Noticed Saber's Minor Space Marine 2 Armour Error
Games Workshop's attention to detail is a large part of why Warhammer 40K content is always consistent. I appreciate that.
Re: Sony Fights Scalpers in Japan By Demanding PS5, PS4 Playtime
I wish they would have done this worldwide.
Re: October 2024's PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games Are Available to Download Now
A nice selection. They are not live for the U.S. yet, but when they are, I'll definitely download WWE 2K24 for the showcase mode.
Re: Bickering Begins Over PS5 Pro's Inability to Sell Out
I'd rather it not sell out because if it does, it means:
A) Sony cannot keep up with demand, which is bad for business and consumers
B) Scalpers will have more power.
Re: 'Difficult to Comment' on Astro Bot's Square Enix Snub, Says Team Asobi
It's a bizarre choice for Square-Enix to turn down free advertising, but they are not known for making smart decisions.
