Days of Play sale is LIVE:
https://blog.playstation.com/2021/05/25/days-of-play-comes-to-playstation-store-2/
Right now you can get base Yakuza: Like A Dragon for -30% ($55.99 CAD) on PS5 so I will have to bite. I never finished it on PC due to my ass hurting sitting at my desk all day.
-
Seems like all the Yakuza games is on sale, which is very tempting, but I settled for Carto instead. Hopefully it's good!
-
@bam541
Buy the Yakuza games
-
@dmcmaster I'm thinking about getting at least Kiwami 1 before the sale ends
-
@bam541 If you haven't played any of them, I recommend starting with Zero. First in the series chronologically, and gives certain characters from 1 a lot of development, where if you were to just start off with 1 those same characters will pull a lot of "JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, EH KAZUMA?" shit.

@el-shmiablo I finished 0 last year, I liked it but it definitely got a bunch of things that I wished were better. I just want to see more of the story, it's definitely my main reason for playing these games (other than exploring and vibing in the small city areas).

@dipset can i get cheap discounted 12 months of PS Plus?
If not then meh.
-
Not that I’m aware of but you can get PS+ from here which is -40 to -50% off depending on when you go. I’ve been using this site for a bit now. Sometimes you get a bonus 3 months with your key too.
-
@dipset i've got ps plus atm but it will run out in a few months.
i only buy it when it's cheap during things like state of play sales.
not paying full price just to play online. not when they charge so much anyway.
-
@yoshi 6 bucks a month for online, 3 free games, and discounts doesn't seem all that much to me.
Don't you spend $200 a month on games?
-
or i could NOT pay $80 like a chump and get $20 off instead.

Yeah that's what I usually end up doing. They even sell it discounted straight from the PS Store at certain times of year.

July's Plus games
Plague Tale's PS5 version was very obvious, love it. <3 Gonna platinum it again! And WWE Battlegrounds, lol. I've almost bought that a few times, but the reviews have been bad. Glad to finally test it now this way!
-
Black Ops I I I I is a PS+ Collection game. I redownloaded it cause I hadn’t played it since 2018 and it just like refused to install properly to my PS5. Heard numbers were surprisingly low too.

https://blog.playstation.com/2022/07/14/introducing-playstation-stars-an-all-new-loyalty-program/
A new Sony loyalty program called PlayStation Stars launches later this year. Free to join, basically gives you "3D trophies" and even PSN money as long as you keep playing on their system and earn specific trophies, for example. I think it sounds cool: I only play on PS so getting some small benefits here and there out of that is just free bonus for me.
