@KidBoruto I've never bought Plus or Now at full price, too expensive for how much I actually use it. I definitely won't be paying £100 a year, but it's still going to be a huge payout to play older games. I'm not sure I'll bother with the top tier tbh.
There's a few comments around taking advantage of the loophole to rip off Sony, but I can't help notice that Sony just got a lot of money from a lot of people, for years worth of loyalty in advance! Almost certainly buying into the related deals and dlc in the process.
IMO I'd say Sony has done well out of the loophole!
None of the routes works now. Kicking myself that I didn't act on this when I heard about the upgrade from PS NOW when it was announced. I knew that I could buy another 12 months. My PS plus just ran out but I knew I still had a decent amount of PS NOW left. Turns out my PS now runs out in June! DOH!!!
@gingerfrog I'm going to agree with this. As a dad gamer I go most months thinking it's a shame there's nothing that my younger kids can play! I can see why people would be pissed that there's nothing for them, but there must be millions who see each months FPS / action / racing games as no good to them...
@Mergatro1d Thanks. I tried the app again, but managed to get it through searching for the game instead of going through the PS+ tab. Weird. But it worked, so cheers for that! Just need to find a PS5 now...........
@Mergatro1d how did you manage to add the PS5 game to your library on PS4? I'm sure I managed it last month, but I can't get the game to show up on the PS4 and in the PS app the option to add or purchase Destruction AS just isn't there!?
Shortly after Horizon zero dawn came out I got an email to my second account saying congratulations on getting platinum, and a code for a nice PS4 Theme. Surprising because I hadn't played it... yet! A couple years later I got platinum on Horizon using my main account, but there was no well done email. Different username, email address etc.
I'm reading this news as 'We still want to take your money (we can't afford not to) but you WILL be punished for not buying our console... and you need to fund our over-commited Game pass for those who did...(which we'll have to change, or charge a lot more for now)
I've got some good news for anyone who was buying a PS5 to play PS/PS2/PS3 games. You can have ALL three consoles, right now with no pre-order waiting, for less than £250. That'll save you a massive £200, as they all have disc drives, and you'll get some games and often extra controllers thrown in... I'm joking, but seriously how many old pre PS4 would you play?? If the answer is lots then do yourself a favour and get your own retro console of choice. I have a PS3 with over 200 games on the HDD. I don't play it. I have literally hundreds of PS4 games that I have yet to invest any real time in. Occasionally I spend a bit of time on a 16 bit console, just for the nostalgia factor. I'm going to put the point out there that if Microsoft weren't trying to draw in users then they wouldn't have invested the expensive resources on BC. It's not developing the basic emulator that's the hard part. It's getting thousands of games to run properly on it to make it live up to everyone's expectations!

Re: Deal: You Can Get PlayStation Classic Mini Console for Just £30 in UK
Not available to C&C anywhere, or deliver to, for Edinburgh area. Shame. Might have given it a go at that price.
