Pre-ordering video games used to mean securing your disc at a retailer before they sold out on launch night. Now it means paying full price (or more) for a p...
Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.
There aren’t and won’t be PS5 games like you are imagining. They moved almost everything new into digital and are trying to sell their premium subscriptions. Although I will say I think it’s worth it… $120 a year and I haven’t had to purchase a single game. Some of their titles are awesome too! But it sucks that trading in games will be a relic of the past. When I traded in my Xbox half of my games were literally worthless because they are on gamepass.
Gameflip is cool by the way. They sell games, but they also sell gift cards for like 9-15% discount.
I mean PS Plus Premium (which is awesome, at least for my first year. Might not even renew next year if I can download enough games).
I am not saying that there aren’t disk games for PS5, just that they are moving away from that direction. By the time the PS6 comes out many of the titles you listed will likely be free on PS Extra and or Premium, so they won’t have value.
But I get what your saying, I always lag behind and like the cheaper old tech. I can’t afford to always have the newest crap. I just upgraded my Galaxy 6 lol.
What do you mean by you wont renew if you can download enough games? Once your sub ends you will lose access to every game you’ve downloaded through the service, even if they are installed on your console. Your license to play the game is tied to the subscription so once that ends you will have no games to play.
Not at the same tiers though, Extra is half the cost and has still has some decent stuff.
So yeah I can’t completely break the subscription chains, but AFAIK you don’t need to retain premium status for games you downloaded… otherwise why would they warn you to download games before they are removed from the list? Storage space is tricky though, that’s how you’re limited.
Edit: I am literally reading stuff from Playstation that says it won’t be there after, but it is. I am so confused…
Nevermind it works like I thought: Can I keep games from PlayStation Plus extra?
Each month, two or three PS4/PS5 games are made available to download and play at no extra cost. They are yours to keep as long as you remain a PS Plus member.
Well the Rumor is that they are going to let you retain with just a Plus membership which is free. I don’t believe that has been implemented yet, but it makes a ton of sense. One huge selling point for premium is the exclusive games, they figure most people won’t be dedicated enough to download everything they want, nor have the storage for it. I already feel like I need an eagle eye to look out for titles before they disappear, there have been a handful of times I looked up a game that I just found out about and realized they just removed it from premium last month and it is now 29.99

I gotcha. I thought you meant you would cancel your sub entirely, not drop to the lower tier
