The new PS+ Extra/Premium stuff is up now.

Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus is 4-5 gigs for some reason, the original game was on two CDs on PS1.

Yakuza: Like A Dragon is streamable, although if you do this you won't have access to the Fist of the North Star slots; it works as free DLC to keep the disc version under 50 gigs. I don't think any items in the slots' store are exclusive, though. There's one Hostess weapon there but you can find it in random silver safes of dungeons.

I have the disc-based PS5 because I have a lot of PS4 discs and saving $100 to cut my game collection in half is not my idea of a good value

Buying a digital only console is a bad move when they are about to drop the new slim with attachable disc drive

I imagine the point of the external disc drive is that you can buy it separately and plug it into your digital only console

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

I have the disc version of PS5 but only because that's what I was lucky enough to slam into my cart before it vanished at checkout.

I’ve used the disc drive maybe twice since I got it. Almost all my PS4 games are digital and I don’t have a lot of movies on disc either.

PS1 game sizes show the combined size of the PS4 and PS5 executables, so it’s probably two copies of each disc and two copies of the emulator adding up.

I know that but each version is this size, it's like 9 gigs total for both.

I checked and it appears that on PS1 there were distinct versions in each European region (for different languages) so that's probably what's happening, it's 5 sets of the game to cover EFIGS.

I have a lot of physical PS4 games (around 98) and a lot of them digital via PS+ or sales. Still won't buy a PS5 digital considering my insane backlog of physical games from PS4. At the other hand, my Series S that plays 95% of my Xbox360 library. And those that I have physical but not digital (or backwards compatible) are just some wrestling and football games. Or Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 :q:

I love having a big collection of physical PS4 games that, I want to use in the future on a PS5. That and having a DVD/blu-ray player for whatever reason.

Are they behind the Harry Potter Funko Pops or in the corner with the Heckin Puppers shirts?

I don’t even know where my nearest game store is anymore because they closed the local branch of GAME a few months ago.

The last time I went in there I tried to browse their used PS5 games but they were in a pretty much completely unlit corner of the store next to the GAMING ARENA or whatever the gently caress they call the place where you can pay a bunch of money to play games on what I can only assume are the stickiest, most abused controllers and kb+m setups in the world. I couldn’t read any of the spines in the near-darkness and wasn’t about to pull everything out to check the covers so I quickly lost interest.

Never don’t just buy games off the internet.

My local gaming shop is a tiny brick box tucked away behind an ice cream shop. It's shaped like a nintendo cartridge and has the Nintendo Power magazine font for a sign. It's run by some queer folk that are 10 years younger than me at the very least and they have a gaming music vinyl section.


It is truly magical.

Nominating this for the most PNW poo poo I’ve read all year lmao

Sounds cool, I’d pop in there for sure. Gaming vinyl section is something I didn’t realize I need but I very desperately do now.
