SirSmUgly Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Shoot, doesn't even need to be half-off. Forty percent off is enough for me. I do want a Series X, but I already have a PS5 and Switch and am having a hard time justifying paying full price for a Series X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Having just bought a PS 5 that I’m still using for PS 4 games, I can’t justify buying a Series S just for Starfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Nintendo should have just added these and hoped no one noticed, rather than announcing it and expecting anyone to get excited. Four "classic" titles were added to Nintendo Switch online: Game Boy Kirby’s Dream Land 2 BurgerTime Deluxe Super NES SIDE POCKET NES XEVIOUS Its like they are going out of their way to not add the games people want, very Nintendo.

Death From Above Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 The Steam Spring Sale is on and like most of the seasonal sales there's 50000 things at 20% off when you just want one thing at 80% off, but having said that I did grab Jedi: Fallen Order since it's 90% off and it's impossible to get hurt at that price point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 You wouldn't get hurt anyway, it's a really good game. Although it's been available through EAPlay and GamePass for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I’m kind of sad that Steam doesn’t have the Borderlands Legendary edition like the consoles have. And the ultimate edition of the third game is still like $30. It’s been over three years, come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 I decided to let my PS Plus Premium expire next month and drop down to Essentials. I didn't intentionally get it - I had Playstation Now and Plus so when the service launched I got it automatically. But I realized the other day I use GamePass 90% of the time, NSO 7%, and Playstation Plus 3%. I'll keep NSO since its cheap and I like the Mario Kart courses being added but I couldn't justify keeping all three of them, something had to give.

SirSmUgly Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I have PS Plus Premium and NSO. I'm not sure that I use either as much as I probably should, but the way I see it, if I play at least two games a year on Premium or one on NSO that I don't have to pay for, that's good enough for me. I just finished Tchia on Premium and I am working through Minish Cap and Fusion on NSO. To me, they've probably already paid for themselves. Maybe I need to play one more game on Premium. I'd rather pay for a subscription than spend money on every interesting game that comes out. I'd have been irritated if I'd paid full price for Tchia, which I was going to do before it dropped on PS Plus. Funny enough, when I get an XSX, I'm not even bothering with Gamepass. I'll just buy the couple of XSX games that I want on disc (Outer Worlds 2, probably the next Fallout, whatever Double Fine does as long as it's not a Brutal Legend sequel) and then use it as a box for my OG Xbox and 360 games). But yeah, I don't see how anyone could use all three services. NSO is unique in its offerings, so that lives or dies with how much you like those retro offerings, but GamePass and Premium duplicate one another a bit too much, Microsoft first-party offerings on Gamepass aside.

As someone who has all three, you are doing this backwards. Gamepass is superior to PS Plus Premium in almost every way, and the primary reason to even own an Xbox. For the most part, you are going to have to pay to play Playstation games at launch, but if you have Gamepass all Xbox exclusives will be free at launch. Unless you really want to have hard copies of Xbox games, it's a much better deal for you if you get Gamepass and pay for Playstation games as they come out. For me, my Xbox is my main gaming system if I'm playing any game that is out for both systems, but the Playstation is strictly for exclusives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer physical releases for full-price games that I want at launch. I want to play TOW2 every few years without having to keep a subscription. Or Psychonauts 3. Or whatever. And when I do buy on-sale digital games, I want those games on my PlayStation now that I'm in that ecosystem. Getting Gamepass over PS Plus makes zero sense for my situation and preferences. But I'm sure it's very good for most! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, good news if you're trying to play Chicken Little. Bad news if you're trying to play hard copies of Halo 1 or 2 for some reason.

NikoBaltimore Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Kevin's post reminded me that I haven't touched my PS4 in almost two years yet I still pay for Plus. It automatically renewed for 6 months so I'll unsubscribe and let it end when the time comes. NSO gets plenty of use between the retro stuff and folks in our family plan using it. And Gamepass is by far the number one thing I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Coincidentally enough, time came for me to renew PSN Plus and I wound up dropping down to the essentials tier too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it go down? I recall Halo CE and Halo 2 being backwards compatible on 360. I guess they want you to buy that Halo legacy collection instead.
