AC Odyssey was my first AC game and I ended up really liking it. Been watching for a decent sale on Assaasin’s Creed Origins for a little while.

The Gold Edition with the seasons pass is $25.99 CAD vs the Deluxe Edition for $17.99. Is it worth the extra $8 for “The Hidden Ones” DLC, “The Curse of the Pharoahs” DLC, a couple gear packs and some Helix credits for their IAP shop?

Alternatively the physical disc of the Standard Edition is $19.99 at a bunch of retailers. That loses out on “The Ambush at Sea” DLC, a gear pack and 3 ability points both the Deluxe and Gold Editions have, but with the added bonus of being able to flip the disc for :10bux: once I’m done.

Help me make sense of this confusing mess goons! I think I’m best off with the physical copy?

Lol yeah, this is what it looks like for me too. I guess I'll just have to trust that the games listed under "Deals" are actually priced lower than usual.

I listen to podcasts on Stitcher, and they screwed up their website in exactly the same way - replacing a list that showed at a glance if there were new episodes with a bunch of textless picture tiles where you have to click on each individual show to check for new episodes. There must be some terrible new internet consulting firm making the rounds.

I’m mostly a digital advocate, but in this case I’d go physical. The only benefit to the season pass is being able after the introduction to speed to level 40-45 to play the DLC. If you’re going to play the game, just get the physical disc and wait for a sale on DLC if you decide you want more before flipping the disc.

Sounds good. I enjoyed the base version of AC Odyssey a lot but by the time I finished up I was happy to move on to something different. I also typically lean toward digital but it sounds like the disc is the way to go this time.

Thanks!

This reminds me of when there was a big pitch to go "web 2.0" on everything and I don't think anyone ever bothered to test the usability of their site. Like, the store needed some updating, but this is garbage.

So about a month ago I bought a PSPlus year card from CDKeys. When I redeemed it today, it said I was qualified for a 12 month and a 3 month promotion. Then it applied fifteen months of PSPlus. What happened there? Not that I’m complaining. When I looked at my subscription end date it was definitely fifteen months.

There’s a promotion on through Walmart and other retailers offering 12+3 months of PSPlus for the price of a year. It seems hit and miss whether CDKeys codes are getting it or not. Looks like you’re one of the lucky ones.

So anyone know how to redeem this month's PS+ games? Because that absolute dogshit webstore doesn't have any way to redeem them, going to the games' pages shows no "purchase" or "redeem" buttons at all and clicking on the different editions does nothing.

E: The buttons to do those things were disabled for some reason even though I turned off adblockers and whatnot. I finally managed to get the games on the iOS app but not before jumping through a ton of hoops with having to log in twice (and having to enter the text-message code), accepting cookies on three different pages and of course, having to get the games individually meant I got loving e-mail receipt spam.

This is the worst the Playstation store has ever been. Christ, it's a pile of utter poo poo.

I did the cookie clearing thing and the site worked just fine. but usually I just use the app, and I haven't had any problems with it so far

Yeah, if you have any issues through the webstore, try the phone APP (works way better normally).

Funny thing is that the new phone app removed the need of the other separate ones and works well, cept for not having a wishlist to check if something I want buried in hundreds of deals is on sale. But I learned to like PSPrices to just check once a week just in case they added a game to a sale or whatever.

You can set PSPrices to send you an email when a specific game or bundle or individual piece of DLC goes on sale

I’ve never heard of Eneba.com but apparently they’ve got two years of PS+ for $60 USD today.

”The Verge” posted:

I recommend taking advantage of this PlayStation Plus subscription deal, which is $32 at Eneba.com. However, if you want the most bang for your buck, I strongly advise picking up two one-year PlayStation Plus subscriptions. You can get it for $60 by using code DECEMBERPLUS at checkout.

Some people at Redflagdeals are reporting having bought two years successfully. Apparently there are warnings the codes might not work in Canada but when you use the codes they work fine.

At your own risk and all that jazz, but seemed worth passing along. I reupped from CDKeys recently so I’m not really in need of more PS+ time.

They also removed the demo section entirely and asking for a good way to find demos the answer is "just search for "demo" lol"

Cut to getting a zillion results for demos and every loving thing ever made with "Demon" in it and no way to organize the results.
