Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order the First Game to Offer Free Physical to Digital PS5 Upgrade

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.

Re: Best PS5 External Hard Drives

dskatter

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.

Re: Cost of Fixing Cyberpunk 2077 Irrelevant, Says CD Projekt RED

"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!"

Re: Square Enix Delists Base Dragon Quest XI After Special Edition Launch

@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.

Re: PS5 Specs Leak Sends the Web into a Frenzy

dskatter

@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.

Re: ANTHEM Players Boycott the Game As BioWare Once Again 'Fixes' Increased Loot Drops

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.
