I basically just scanned over your post about getting the game. The #5 step just happened to catch my eye when it said 2-4 weeks for delivery....... I was like why the eff would it take 2-4 weeks for a digital game? Then I was like " oh" lol. Also noticed another thing it does say to "put your code in after you you chose your game or games" so you might have to spend it all but, looks like you can get that money off of multiple purchases. I actually said the hell with it last night and got ratchet and clank with the money I had in my wallet. I enjoy rachet and clank but, it's kinda the same sheet with some next gen elements added here and there. I still can't get over the no load times aspect of these games.

Then Sony has invited me direct to scheduled queues twice now. So 2 that took zero effort (just remembering the date and time to sign in) and 2 that took millions of webpage refreshes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still confuses me the website only lists games in terms of Sony Rewards Points, not dollar amounts.

Either way you one the console wars all on your own without being a bot Just one. some $850ish GameStop bundle that included 2nd controller, $60 PS+ for a year (my account was already paid through like 2024), I think the lame version of miles morales (no PS4 Spider man upgrade on PS5), and destruction all stars (later switched to a free download and "removed” from bundle price). basically the second controller was the only add-on item I would have bought so thankfully another guy took that off my hands. The other 2 consoles I secured pre-orders for before launch happened at least a week or so later 4 minutes ago, Bwestbrook36 said: I guess it depends on how many points a game is.... I know that's a no sheet kind of statement but, you are confusing me now too lol The website was showing most "new” games as 6999 points, so basically add a decimal point between the 2nd and 3rd numbers for every game in the list and that seemed to match with what the current retail prices on then would be. So that $75 code likely would result in 7500 points… but it’s so strangely worded that the voucher is only for one game and only UP TO $75, that if I bought something like the original last of us (1999pts) I would likely lose the "remaining” 5500pts, and if I tried buying one of those expensive collectors editions got like 9999 points, I don’t think it would apply 7500pts and allow me to pay the $25 difference I just hope i interpreted the 180 days correctly since games releasing this fall don’t show yet in that rewards store as a "pre-order” so I’ll want to wait until something more appealing comes along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really want to wait in lines at Walmart for hours on end during a pandemic ( mostly during launch)? Cause I wouldn't, if they didn't sell them online I wouldn't of bought one.

Meh I still wouldn't go to the store lol. Only cause I hate stores and people lol. I agree though after the initial launch they should make more shopper friendly and offer the majority at the stores.

First time I seen one of the new consoles in an actual store. Although I have no interest in that system anyway. Just the Series X and PS5.

That made it where only people who were picking up their PS5 could purchase, and I believe it's one per name/account. That is the best way to do it as I've seen...PS Direct was good also, but not as practical in helping to avoid hoarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
