I have a backbone and never use it. I don’t see myself ever using this unless it’s a lot better than Xbox’s version. The lag was too annoying for me.

I was mainly looking at the PS Plus subscriptions discounts. My subscription is canceled, but officially ends up Saturday, I believe. I wanted to drop down to Essential and was hoping that would be discounted as well. If not, it's not a big deal. My wife got a free PS gift cards, so I can use that to pay for my Subscription for the year.

I'm surprised they haven't announced the PS Extra games for November yet. I'm hoping for a few months of lousy games, so I could wait to upgrade back up to Extra at a cheaper price.

I read online that starting the 17th they will offer 30% off on subscriptions.

I hope that it is for all subscriptions, not just new subscribers or upgrading tiers. I want to drop down to Extra. I believe my current sub expires on the 17th. So, I hope the discount is for all subscriptions. I want to wait a few months before upgrading to Extra again.

But, I'm still waiting for the November Game Catalog lineup. If there is a game I want, that would change things up about waiting.

Like I said, I already have a $110 in gift cards for free. My hope that Essential sees a discount as well. I hope that I just have to pay around $56 as opposed to $80. That way I can buy a discounted game as well without actually spending my own money

Nothing I'm interested in. So, I can definitely start back with PS Plus Essential and not upgrade to Extra until there are game catalog games I'm interested in

Re: PlayStation 5

You can hook a bluetooth transmitter into the 3.5 jack for audio or just go wires if you don't wanna buy the new Explore Buds or Elite headset. If the backbone which is a phone attachment is worth $100, this is a steal at $200 imo.

Did you preorder the Explore and Elite? It also supposedly has up to 8 life hours?

Re: PlayStation 5

There's 20%, 25%, 30% discounts for the PS subscriptions. Since my Extra tier sub expires after today, I could be able to receive the 25% discount and drop it to $101 today if I extend it. So, I'm hoping that if I let it expire, that I could receive the 20% discount for Essential tomorrow. I have $120 in PlayStation Gift cards for free. It would be cool if I could get that discount because I have it all mapped out. That way, I would be able to buy my sub for the year, get a discounted game I want, and have $20 left over.

Re: PlayStation 5

I was able to the 20% discount on the Essential tier. It was weird initially because the PS app on the phone was only allowing me to do a 1 month sub, I had to go on my console to get the 12 month sub. I'm hoping for a couple lousy Game Catalog months so I don't have to rush to upgrade to Extra. Only downside to downgrading to Essential is that I don't have access to the Game Catalog games I saved to my library. But, I have enough games to keep my occupied for a few months. I was able to use the gift cards I got to pay for the sub for the year and a discounted game, and will still have close to $15 left in gift card amount without having to spend my own money.



One question I have about my PS5 is sometimes when I turn on my console via controller, sometimes It turns on and screen pops up saying that it's putting my PS5 into Rest mode, like it was on the whole time and it wasn't. No issues so far, but I have to wait until it goes into Rest mode, then I can turn it on

Re: PlayStation 5

Silly question, but are we able to pay for the PSN plus subscription with money in our wallet?

Yes. That's what I just did yesterday. I added money from a gift card to my wallet and it automatically took the money from my wallet to pay for my PS Plus Subscription

Re: PlayStation 5

Most of the PSN Gift Card or PS Plus card discounts have been lackluster. The best I've seen so far is Dollar General is doing a 20% off multi-pack.

Re: PlayStation 5

Any of you guys using your PS5 with a mesh WiFi system?

I got my oldest kid a Portal for Christmas, but I’m worried my older WiFi router isn’t going to quite cut it. I don’t need it to be perfect or lowest latency possible, he’s only 6, but I want it to work smoothly enough that he won’t think about it.

I’ve dabbled with remote play on an iPad and my PC, and it was a little hit or miss. The PS5 is on WiFi, and I know running a wire would probably help greatly, but I really don’t wanna spend hours in my attic and cutting new outlets into my walls.

I was thinking of trying out a mesh system as an alternative solution. My only cable connection is in the master bedroom, so the main unit would be in there, and then I’d put the other node next to the ps5 and have it hardwired in to that.

Does anyone here have a similar setup? I’m curious if it’s really much of an upgrade over just the single WiFi connection I’m working with now.

Re: PlayStation 5

If I have Spider-Man 2 physical copy and I pay the $10 for the digital deluxe upgrade do I still need the disc to play the game?
