PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For

Sony says Mythbusters and more Discovery TV shows are going away whether you bought them or not

Another good reason not to let streaming services control your movie collection.

Yep, It's been so since Sept iirc. It was an early Christmas gift from a friend.

Yes, but digital only so far, so it'll be attached to whatever main Playstation account it gets dowloaded on.
If you play that version, there's a puzzle you may come across that is difficult to navigate. Use the R3 button to control the cursor freely. A mouse connected via USB, or the controller touch pad, will not work.

Mainly Tomb Raider I - IX on PS 2.

Hard to believe it's been 28 years since the first game came out as of 2024. Dang.

I play a lot of PS 1 games for nostalgia mostly. Also Play Station 2 games.

28 years ago games were advanced back then on the PS 1.

Oh! Are there any cool, free to play PS5 games I can download from the store so I can play online with friends? I forgot I could do this, haha

Something simple or easy to get into perhaps?

Fall Guys, Fortnite. I think there's a Free to Play tab in the PSN store.

While not "free" free, If your able to; sign up for PS+ only $15-18 a month depending on if you want online play or not; becuase it has as VERY NICE library of games, some fairly recent and most are really good and popular games. As long as your subscription is active you have unlimited access to these games. Plus ever month they do give you three free games to keep. Honestly one of the best thing you can do for your PS5. It might not be as good as Xbox's counterpart; but still an amazing deal for the money imo.

Some interesting/good news for PSVR2 owners... apparently Sony is now officially working on implementing PC support for PSVR2 hardware.

Sony Testing PSVR2 Compatibility on PC, Aiming for This Year

Increase your PSVR2 library

That would be a game changer for PC VR, as the PSVR2 is probably the most feature-rich headset available at its price point (eye tracking, higher resolution, foveated rendering, inside-out tracking, OLED screens). I'd love to see what it could do connected to my Core i9 13980hx/RTX 4090 laptop.

Playing Tomb Raider I on Mobile right now.

It's cool that somebody ported this to Android.

Big Playstation news!
Sony revealed the PS5 Pro. 45% bigger GPU (with 67% more compute units), improved architecture, AI upscaling, improved ray tracing. Some 8500 PS4 titles will see a performance boost (akin to what Microsoft has done with Xbox on many older titles). System will ship with the same CPU and RAM, but will include a 2 TB SSD...and NO Disc drive.
US price will be $699.99! If you wish to get a disc drive, that's another $80. So, with tax, the average consumer is looking at over $825 for a PS5 Pro with disc drive.

Welcome PlayStation 5 Pro, the most visually impressive way to play games on PlayStation

Features including GPU upgrade, advanced ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution take players to new heights.

Meanwhile, I'm busy playing Astrobot. It is a pure joy of a game. If you've played Astro's Playroom, it's not straying too much from that formula besides adding "more". I'm about 35-40% done, and while many gimmicks returns from Playroom, they've all been refined. The biggest, to me, is the option to turn OFF gyro elements. Good fun, and it really does feel Astro is doing more than Sony themselves are with celebrating the brand's 30th Anniversary. It's also nice to see that, by this point, most of the characters DO have their games available (or soon available) on the platform. Still surprised at no Legacy of Kain given the cameos.

$700 is ******* insane for what they’re offering. I’d balk at that for a ******* PS6 but this is a mid-gen refresh upgrade.

Should’ve dropped the regular $100 and made *that* the new price for this.

 

[TM2-Megatron]

$100 less and throw in the disc drive, ffs.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

With tax?

$1,100.

(That's for Canada, btw.)

 

[Caldwin]

In this economy? For a mid-gen upgrade? And still paying extra for a disk drive?

I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of these collect dust on store shelves.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

My regular PS5 is just fine, thanks. Maybe in a few years when they've dropped the price, not to mention worked out whatever bugs and flaws the thing launches with.

 

[Confuzor]

A mid-gen upgrade with what f*$%#ing games?!

 

[Caldwin]

Same games we're already playing on the much less expensive base PS5.

 

[ZakuConvoy]

And sometimes the same games we can still play on the PS4.

Sony: $699 USD!

Sony: $699 USD!

Unless you want to stand it up right, $30, or use physical media $80. and that's all before tax that is likely $60ish. So $900+ for everything...
