From what I see, you need to specifically select a discless console like the PS5 digital edition or series S. They also ask you for either a copy of the receipt/box from your discless console or a screenshot from your console with your PSN ID visible.
I submitted mine even tho I have the disc copy, we’ll see if they go for it! If not, I still have the free disc upgrade. Just slightly more hassle involved.
If we can get this AND a Miles Edgeworth Investigations double pack with the not-released-in-English second game as well, Capcom will be on my good list forever.
I have a 4 TB Western Digital MyBook with a separate AC power source. If my PS4/5 crashes I'd prefer power not get cut to the drive, which would be the case with your typical external USB powered drive.
Had it for two years on my PS4 and now PS5, not a single issue.
Been tempted to upgrade to an 8 TB model, but that's probably overkill. As is an SSD, honestly. Not a huge benefit for a larger cash outlay. My priority is storage capacity, not speed.
Hell...I don't believe my original PS4 could even use the full bandwidth of my current hard drive. My PS5 can.
@TrueAssassin86x Reddit is filled with change.org petitions and complaining about it. One guy said he wasn’t buying a PS5 because of it, which is just hilarious to me.
Definitely worth playing for those who haven't done so yet. Not sure I'll double-dip on the PS5 version, but its not like my old copy won't run just fine!
"So you know that game that we said would launch for PS4 and it would be great and stuff? Well, we...kinda forgot we were doing a PS4 version because this PS5 thing was coming out which we, uh, still haven't released a version for but that's TOTALLY why the PS4 version was barely finished even though we were supposedly MAKING it for the PS4 for the last five years or so and even delayed it several times to supposedly polish it and make it run better, even though that seems to have been total hogwash...can you blame us for not having it ready at launch? Really? Come on...we can DEFINITELY have it finished-finished by February! March at the latest!"
@Matroska The whole point here is that the PS4 version (hey look, this is a Playstation site! ) of S has slightly worse graphics than the PS4 version of the original release. This isn't debatable, and whether your friend's PC version looks indistinguishable is completely irrelevant. If you put the two PS4 versions side-by-side the difference is small but there.
@a_winner_is_you Given the number of incorrect copyright strikes issued on a daily basis, plus Gameloft’s known status as (mostly) a rip-off artist of other games, it’s hard for me to believe GameLoft is in the right here.
All three digital games are downloaded to my PS4, and the physical edition is sitting on my shelf, along with the other games, Judgment, Fist of the North Star, Yakuza Dead Souls (eh) and Project X Zone 2.
@RBMango Agreed. If specs were my only point of interest, I'd never have purchased a Switch. Which was my favorite console of 2018, I should add.
Now would it be NICE if Sony would trounce MS utterly on the specs? Absolutely. But I'm still guaranteed to buy a PS5 unless Sony somehow utterly screws the pooch on a level hitherto unseen in this reality.
Meh. I’m pretty okay with this. I play the Yakuza games for the story anyway, the fighting just gets in the way of the dramatic reveals and batcrap insane side stories!
There’s no reason for this. The current PS4 is plenty slim, and making it slimmer would have zero measurable effect compared to a simple price drop by itself. It’s not like you carry your PS4 around like a Switch.
I so wanted to like this game. The demo seemed neat at first, and then the incessant loading screens turned me off quickly.
Seems like a decent Iron Man simulator, but when the original Destiny seems like a fairer and more interesting game than a game made by BIOWARE of all people...
Maybe if it drops to $29 or lower. And if I have iron-clad proof they fixed the PS4 crashing/near-bricking issues.

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade PS5 Download Size Is Still Huge
@RubyCarbuncle You’ll have a long wait. Other than the M.2 slot, there will never be external storage on the PS5 that will let you play PS5 games.
Re: Returnal Crashes May Be Sony's Problem, Other Bugs Being Investigated
@RubyCarbuncle I’m aware, read the rest of my comment.
Re: Returnal Crashes May Be Sony's Problem, Other Bugs Being Investigated
@KundaliniRising333 I’m…pretty sure Cyberpunk crashing isn’t Sony’s fault. Call me crazy, but…
Also, had my PS5 for a month now and haven’t had a single game crash. Both Spider-Man games, Valhalla, Immortals: Fenix Rising, Borderlands 3…
Re: Judgment (PS5) - A Truly Gripping Detective Thriller, and One of the Best Yakuza Games
Given that Yakuza: LAD didn’t have save transfers, I assume this one doesn’t either?
If not, I’ll stick with my native PS4 version for now, sadly.
Re: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Brings Historical Court Battles to PS4 This Summer

Re: Sony Backtracks PS3, PS Vita Online Store Closures
I’m genuinely but pleasantly shocked.
Hopefully this might spark some more PS3 game discounts, if Sony is still allowing them.
Re: Weird Metal Gear Tweets are Making People Think an Announcement Is Coming Next Week
@arsmolinarc I liked Death Stranding. Guess we have two very different viewpoints on the man!
Re: Weird Metal Gear Tweets are Making People Think an Announcement Is Coming Next Week
If this is a 1-4 collection, I'm in. Konami will get a few last dollars from me for that.
If this is a Metal Gear Solid game without Kojima, tho? Screw that.

Re: PS5 Firmware Update Adds External Storage Support for PS5 Games, Social Features, and More Tomorrow
@fluggy I think you don’t understand that PS5 games are designed with ONLY the SSD speeds in mind.
But please, feel free to rant more if it makes you feel better.
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 8.50 Is Available to Download Now
@TrueAssassin86x Sadly there’s a lot of stupid people out there!

Re: PS5 Firmware Update Adds External Storage Support for PS5 Games, Social Features, and More Tomorrow
@fluggy Because PS5 games are designed with the SSD in mind, and weren’t made for the slower access speed of standard HDs.
That’s why. It isn’t a mind-wracking mystery.

Re: The Yakuza Remastered Collection Is Complete, Meaning the Entire Mainline Yakuza Series Is Now Playable on PS4
All three digital games are downloaded to my PS4, and the physical edition is sitting on my shelf, along with the other games, Judgment, Fist of the North Star, Yakuza Dead Souls (eh) and Project X Zone 2.
I am a happy man today.

Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Finally Gets a Release Date, But It's 2020

Of course, we don’t know if that’ll be the case on the PS4 version because Sony...
Re: Yakuza 7 Titled Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Swaps Brawling for Turn-Based Combat

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Switch Lite Signals the Need for a PS4 Super Slim

Must be a slow news day here.
