Returnal dropped to $50 for prime day in the US, of course it’s dropped on Amazon uk, but it’s still £65

Bargain? Maybe. Cheaper, definitely….. if it was £50 or less I’d bite

was reduced a tiny bit on amazon.de I think down to below 70 anyway.

@ mods, just a suggestion.

With the split in PS4 and PS5 player base would there be any chance we could have a separate thread for each here?

PS4 bargains
PS5 bargains

I haven’t and won’t be upgrading to a PS5 any time soon so it’s a waste of time seeing 10 “bargains” about the new dual sense controller for PS5.

Thanks

Whats with the "bargains" in quotes?

Dont like the dual sense controller?

I would like ps4 and ps5 to stay together also.

So popped into GameStop yesterday to get my black DualSense, and with Level 3 it cost 99c. I also traded jn Rift Apart and got Returnal for around €35 so not a bad trade in day at all.

The Pro will get me €220 credit and can be out on my card to use online also, so probably gonna do that soon before the price drops.

I was clearing out a wardrobe and found some PS2 games. I checked CEX and all my mine are duds in €0.00-€2.00 range but I saw some crazy prices.

A possible "bargain" for people who might have these games lying around.

Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone PS2 €48 Cash, €57 Voucher

Not quite as good but Simpsons Hit and Run PS2 €16 Cash, €23 Voucher.

I expected my copy of Rez to be worth a few quid, but since it was free on PS plus, I'd say it's near worthless now.

I'm sure PS3 and Vita were lumped in here when the PS4 was only just out, not sure having PS5 stuff is any different, everyone will eventually get one when the time is right....

If anyone sees any PS3 bargains, I'm still interested. Actually, anyone know of any PS3 controller bargains?

Hi. So I'm level 3, The black controller is 99c with that rather than €4.99 without?
Thanks in advance.

Base trade value for a Dualsense is €40, you still get your extra 10% trade boost on top of that then it has €25 added for the offer.

Nope, this is how they always get you and Ubisoft are particularly bad for it.

The base game and gold editions are always down in price, the gold usually down to or below the price of the season pass alone, but the season pass won't budge until a good year after release and only once every 3 months or so.

Looks like there is a PS5 weekend sale

https://psprices.com/region-ie/discounts/?sort=date

Returnal 59.99

https://store.playstation.com/en-ie/search/returnal

Miles Morales 40.19 or special edition 59.99, Demons Souls 59.99

Nioh remastered collection, sackboy and Destruction Allstars reduced as well.

It is strange reporting 59.99 as a bargain...

Yeah if you want to get any decent PS5 digital game prices especially in this Flash sale, you're better off looking at the US PSN store

Does the Ultimate PS5 version of Miles Morales include the games for the PS4 as well (both of them)

It includes Spiderman Remastered, which is a PS5 version of the last game with all the dlc and a new character model for Peter.

Thanks - so it doesn't give access to the PS4 version of Spider-Man, just the PS5 Remastered version?

Edit: Just checked and answered my own question - disappointing. I'll likely get a PS5 when I can - I'll just wait to buy Ultimate Miles Morales as it's going to get cheaper! I've already played Spider-Man on the PS4, but my son wants to play it, and his disc drive is broken, so a digital copy would have been handy.

Surprised he can still play digital games, they usually can't be played on a PS4 that the disc drive has failed on due to Sony part pairing everything like Apple.

If the PS4 doesn't get the pairing handshake from the disc drive it won't play anything.

The drive still “works” per se. You can hear it clicking but it won’t pull in any discs.

Read error as opposed to drive failure, yeah that would still work as the console is still pairing with the drive.

It's a huge mess. No idea why Sony has made it this hard. You can get Miles Morales (the regular edition) for ps4 so that you can play it now, but it doesn't include Spiderman: Remastered (which only exist for the ps5, even if it runs on the same engine as Miles Morales). You can then upgrade for free Miles Morales to the ps5 version, and there you can buy the Spiderman Remaster as an in-game DLC.
The ultimate edition which already includes the Spiderman Remaster is only available for ps5.

EDIT: to add to the disappointment, make sure you buy Miles Morales in Ireland if you want to update to the ultimate edition for Spiderman Remaster. Or you will need to create a PSN account from where you got the game and then buy the update there. It's not even at the EU level, guess who just bought it from Amazon Germany and can't upgrade?

Was just in Smyths and the had Watchdogs Legion gold edition w/ the season pass for €25 on PS5. Seems a decent deal.

Just looked on their site and showing out of stock online and in every store, not expected in stock again. Same with AC Valhalla Gold edition on PS5 for €40.

Sounds good if a local store manages to have either of these.

I thought that was pretty good, and then looked back in this topic, and a lot (all?) of these games were being sold for €10 a month ago; but they doubled the price and then slapped this "deal" on them

So now instead of getting 3 for 30 with no deal, you're getting 3 for 35 with a deal

Were they not being sold at half price for the Days of Play promotion? It was only for a limited time. The PS Hits games are usually always sold at €20.
