@get2sammyb that’s great advice. I’ve been digital only since the start of PS4 and get all my credit from Shopto. Usually saves 10-12%. I try to wish list the games I’m interested in and get them when they reach a value I’m happy with. This will very from title to title, some are day 1s but others I wait til they’re on sale and it’s great to get that extra 10% saving from Shopto, plus any possible credits from PlayStation Stars. I also used Shopto to renew my PS Plus Extra. Ending up paying £86.09 for £100 store credit and adding it to my wallet.
Oddly enough 4K Blu Rays are the only form of media I buy physical now. I like to have a collection of my favourite films and never swapped over to getting films in 4K on Amazon or iTunes. I’ve got a large collection of books and comics, but my mum bought me a kindle when they first came out to save space. Same with CDs, had a large collection then got an iPod and burnt them onto my laptop and started buying on iTunes and now I have Apple Music.
Recently just moved house and sold loads of cds on music magpie. Didn’t get much at all! I think Pink Floyd The Wall which is a double CD album had a hmv price tag still on it of £30.99! Don’t think I even got a quid for it 20 years later! I’ve always enjoyed collecting and never been a trade in kind of person, cds never held value unlike vinyl and judging by prices in CEX neither have video games.
I started going digital in the end of the PS3 era, and went all in from the start of the PS4 generation. Didn’t see the point in getting the discs if they still have to download and take up storage space. Switching between games is way more convenient when digital and can always go back to older games in my collection.
I got the PS5 digital edition at launch, got it for £360 and sold my base PS4 for £160 so only £200 to upgrade. I buy all my PSN credit off of Shopto which can be 12-15% cheaper than the voucher is worth. I’ll go through and wish list games I like if I’m not keen enough to get them day 1and wait til they drop to around £50, which will cost about £44 on shopto.
