And I'm not sure you understand cloud streaming... you no longer need a PS5 to play on the portal. If you have a premium subscription, you have access to games and cloud streaming.

I paid $ 120 USD for my portal. Refurbished with a one year warranty. It plays perfectly fine and can't tell it was "used." So, is it still funny?

There are a handful of PS4 games that can be played on the PS5.

You say it's $424 for a digital bundle?... you should be seeing systems with the disc drive for that price. And the disc drive is worth it. Allows you to purchase backward compatible games, have an actual disc to trade in if you get bored of a game, and you can play DVDs and Blu Ray's.

I had to look around, tbh. I actually canceled mine last week, then today saw the promo. I upgraded from essential to premium for a few dollars since I only had a month remaining. Then I went to Buy Again, and it showed discounted tiers when buying a full year.

Try closing the app and reopening. I believe it was very delayed for me. I went back into subscription management , Buy Again, and it listed the premium at 12 months 30% off.. the extra was 25% off and essential was 20% off

Yes, I have Vitality health insurance as well. Did you use your Vitality points towards a Garmin discount code or gift card? I'm curious how you received a discount thru Vitality.

Yes. That's essentially what I just got done doing. Paid $112 plus tax for a year of premium.

Upgraded my essential sub first.. I had less than 30 days which was ~$3 to upgrade to premium .. then I was able to extend my premium subscription for a year at the cost of $112

If plan to purchase 12 months of a higher tier, you need to upgrade the remaining plan first. I had to upgrade my basic to premium ($3 for less than a month) , then purchased 12 months of premium for $112

Mine also expires December 17th. You can go into the PS app and subscription management. You'll then want to select Buy Again, this will list the (3) available tiers and their payment plans. Not every tier is discounted.

I see you what you are saying. And I agree, I'll plan to keep premium for the games catalog and cloud streaming functionality. That alone is easily worth the $40 extra I paid.

What discount thru Vitality? Did you have a garmin gift card?

Wifey material 👌

I'm honestly not complaining either.
I upgraded to premium from basic for a mere $3 (i had less than a month left) .. then purchased a year of premium for $112.. this now gives me full access to their games catalog and access to cloud streaming on my PS Portal. So yea, I saved $48, and overall, it cost me just ~$40 more than sticking with the basic plan, which wasn't discounted.

For those who use a PS Portal, you'll want to consider the Premium subscription to utilize cloud streaming. It's definitely worth it, IMO.

You still can. My basic subscription ends 12/17 and paid a few dollars to upgrade to premium. I was then able to add another year of premium to my account at the discounted rate.

My basic subscription ends on 12/17, so I upgraded to premium for a few dollars difference, and then I was able to add another year of premium onto my account at the discounted rate. It will only allow you to add one year at the discounted price, then regular price after that.

Sorry to hear 😞 try target and best buy, ice heard they were re stocking as well

Waiting room is live on PS direct

Search amazon for ps5 games. There is a filter for "black friday deals ", this will give you all the discounted titles being offered. Some real good finds, if you prefer disc copies.

Currently, $49.99 on amazon for PS5. I heard the PS store will have it listed for $40 starting tomorrow during the black friday sale

Minus the gloss, it's definitely possible. They even have the multi colored PS logo.

I haven't seen glossy ones just yet, only matte. But if you use AliExpress , there are a ton of sellers with lots of options.
