I'll make you cry like I did when my daddy died!
Just a shot in the dark, but is there any particular reason to expect there will be one of those "Spend $100, get $15" deals next month? I'm about to buy the Destiny DLC (for $30) which requires some other Destiny DLC (for $20), so that's $50 I may as well spend in September if I can get a deal. Otherwise, I spend it now because I get to play one of those DLCs early.

I'd probably buy PS+ with the other $50 and can thus feel like I'm getting a deal before the price shoots up.

Not actually an answer to your question but do you own the first two DLC's? You can't actually buy Taken King unless you own them, and thus have to buy the entire package for $60 which includes everything (even Rise of Iron).

There's a humble bundle now which has both games on PS3.

They like doing the promotion during preorder seasons. It's more of a spring/fall thing and the next time I realistically expect one is after Christmas.


Last time we got it I'm pretty sure it was to encourage preorders from e3.

9's a much more challenging game where using the boss weapons really changes how you play. 10 is a pretty standard Mega Man and it's fine, but it's easier and requires less creative strategy.

Thanks for double checking! Yeah, I had the original season pass so it had DLC 1-2. I want to get back in with 4 (RoI), so I need to buy 3 (TTK).

OK. It might also be worth checking if you qualify for the upgrade pricing for the whole package (I think this depends on having the PS3 versions of stuff, but since they're mostly cross-buy you might); I'm pretty sure that's under $50.

Nope, unfortunately I was/am a PS4 player. Thanks again.

Technically I can save a dollar or two thanks to the preorder bonus at Amazon, of 20% off - so $48 for the complete collection at Amazon. But that's a $2 savings and you don't get the pretty-awesome Dynamic Theme.

just buy it imo. i am an avid "wait for a sale, idiot" type guy but souls dlc is always worth it. you probably got the base game for like $20 anyway

I just bought a PSN code off of amazon and popped it into the store to add funds to my wallet, but the site made me log in a couple times in a row and then it claimed the card was used, but no funds have appeared in my wallet. Is this a thing that has happened to anyone else, and to whom do I make an appeal?

Try logging out and back in, see if the funds appear then.

with 2 step do you need your phone on you everytime you go to the store or can you set it up to only be required if you try to make account changes and stuff like that?

It's been almost 20 years since i played that game. I have fond memories of it.

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

Kula World is abstract so doesn't look too dated, and it's still a good puzzle.

PSN is having system issues with the reset system (in the UK at least). I've been told that I'll need to try again in 24hours and that's all they can do.

Edit: So immediately after moaning that I'll have to wait a day I try logging in again and it all works fine. Moral of the story, if anyone else has any trouble just keep resubbing until it works.

If this is to do with setting 2FA, try completely signing out from the webstore and signing back in, I had to do that (in Canada, mind you).
