Image I literally bought a PlayStation 5 just for Phantom Blade Zero!

I personally am not a huge gamer, ​I basically stopped back in the PS3 era with the Batman Arkham series, UFC Undisputed 3, and The Last of Us. Once real life and kids came into the picture, console gaming pretty much went out the window. 😢

​I was super tempted to pick up a PS5 when Black Myth: Wukong dropped, but I hesitated and procrastinated.

​Then earlier this year - Phantom Blade Zero's trailer popped up on my feed. Watched it, got intrigued, started digging into the behind-the-scenes footage, and found out Donnie Yen is actually involved with the action design and creative consultancy. That was the absolute breaking point. I couldn't resist anymore. 😱

​Fast forward to now: PS5 arrived last week, immediately pulled the trigger on the Deluxe Edition of Phantom Blade Zero and it is preloaded and ready to go. 🤩

​I have not been this excited for a game in decades literally, and I hope all of you feel the same!

Death Stranding for me. I treated every delivery like I just needed to get from one place to another quickly. When I started actually planning routes and thinking about what I was carrying, the game clicked into place.

As the title states,
Im picking up a new ps5 slim disc console and am struggling where to place it, I’ve added a pic of my setup and where you can see the ps3 and ps4 has rear vent fans to suck out hot air and was thinking move the ps4 to the bottom and the ps5 in the top bay, ps3 would go on the shelf somewhere, i still need to decide where the ps1 will sit etc on that shelf also.

Any help would be much appreciated.

After years of having the Pro, I've decided to now part with it and downgrade to PS4 Slim.

Main reason is because personally I very rarely felt the benefits of the Pro's extra powers, and tbh I kinda prefer the smaller size of the Slim model, which makes it easier to carry around, like if I were to bring it to my parents or friend's house. Also generally quieter fans.

Discussion PS5 slim or pro? For GTA 6

6 Upvotes

I’m trying to figure out the best PS5 to buy. In Aus the slim is ~$1000 and the pro is ~$1400. Currently have a PS4 which we have had for years and has been so good but to play GTA 6 needing to upgrade to PS5 - literally only reason we are upgrading.

One of the big factors I’m trying to work out is the storage. Are people thinking the 1TB will be sufficient to download GTA 6 that is around 210GB according to another post I saw, plus other game downloads, will I wish for the 2TB pro in a couple years? We do have a lot of games on disc so will want to play them too.

Thanks for reading, any advice much appreciated.

Finally got everything for displaying my console collection minus the PS5 and PSP which are in use or still in a storage box. Vita and PSPs designated spot is inbetween.

So happy to got my hands on these consoles after my mom sold all my gaming stuff I had at my parents when they moved years ago.

Discussion Headset opinion

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, I currently am using the PS5 Pulse 3D as my headset and I think it’s great, not really had any issues with it as a casual player.

My friends birthday is coming up and I’m looking to get him a headset and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with the PS5 Pulse Elite in comparison? Is it worth the bit extra over the Pulse 3D or is it pretty much the same quality?

Any opinions would be much appreciated, thanks!

Discussion Unable to purchase PSN cards

• Upvotes

I made my PSN account in the US years ago and now live in Japan. I have a Japanese bank account with a Japanese debit card. I loaded the information into Amazon US and bought one PSN card for $10 as a test. It went well. So, I went ahead and tried to buy a card for $50 and everything just stopped working. Amazon logged me out, flagged my account for suspicious activity, and canceled the order.

I went through their account holding process and logged back in, added the card information again, and tried to purchase the PSN card again. I went to checkout, and then I was diverted to a page from my Japanese bank. I needed to put in a PIN sent to my Japanese mobile phone. I did that and then Amazon said that the purchase was good.

It didn't come and the account had actually been put on hold again. So, it seems like Amazon is out because of my Japanese account.

I can't access Loaded (CDKeys) because it says access denied to the website.

So, how do I get cards for my American account in Japan?
