Playstation 5 - Do you want fries with that? - November 12, 2020 - $399/$499

Good luck peeps going for PS5 tomorrow

The bundles are not bad it’s just I have no interest in Gran Turismo or MLB The Show and don’t like being forced to buy it on principle alone. The digital bundle with the GameStop gift card and PSN gift card is ideal if it wasn’t…digital only *groan*

“I refuse to pay $500 for a ps5 from a piece of shit scalper”
>>buys a bundle for $700 from gamestop that comes with unwanted games

That makes sense?

[Tyrath]

I personally wouldn't do it, but it still makes more sense than buying from scalpers. You're still getting something for the extra money you paid rather than nothing. You could sell the games??

[NynJa]

You could also fail to sell the games / sell at a huge loss because everyone else is trying to sell the shitty unwanted games.

[Tyrath]

You could. It's still better than failing to sell the whole lot of nothing you get from a scalped PS5.

[AoE]

I went the bundle route and sold the stuff I didn't want. I'd rather buy overpriced with the opportunity to recoup even if it is a slight loss.

Looks like VRR is finally coming for PS5

Sony's support department appears to be confirming that the company has deactivated the ability to redeem pre-paid PS Plus cards to prevent subscription stacking. This is, presumably, because PS Plus and PS Now subscribers will be upgraded to PS Plus Premium for the duration of their longest membership.

A support email explains: “I have checked the voucher and your account and can conclude that as of now there is a temporarily deactivated function for PS Plus/PS Now subscriptions which does not allow for stacking of either membership on already active memberships.

“This is only temporary and as soon as we have more information about we will let our players know, for more information regarding news for the new launch of our service please check out our blog.”

As of the time of writing, it’s still possible to purchase pre-paid PS Plus cards from a variety of major retailers, including Amazon. However, Shop To does appear to have pulled the product from its storefront.

We’ve contacted Sony for comment.

I didn't even know of you could do this. Subscription stacking.

[Mertron]

The new PS+ has gone live in parts of Asia and those who stacked their subs are finding that if they want to upgrade plans, they have to pay the difference all at once for all of the years activated.
