Premium kicked in for me automatically.
Bout to test drive this shyt until 2023.
Only tried one game for PS3 to stream.
Didn't give me any trouble and it responded well.
I don't see myself really messing with it too much though.
Played Tekken 2 for a lil bit just for Nostalgia's sake.
I'll test out a few more joints soon.
They really need to figure out the PS3 game situation though.

what's the problem with PS3 game?

The problem with a PS3 game is the PS3. It was a very impressive console, but it was a pain to code. Someone with better knowledge could probably explain it better, but I think it's Cell processor was the main issue and is what makes backward compatibility a problem for a number of games.

Me not being able to download all the shyt I paid for on that system is my main gripe, but I'll give them time to sort it out.
I'm sure someone will figure it out.

@Chris Cool @-DMP- @Deezay @ColdSlither

is it worth to upgrade Premium that I have to pay for $55?
It think it depends on if you already played some of these games or not. I never played uncharted lost legacy, miles morales, returnal, death stranding and some of the others, so it's cool to me. The classic catalog is lacking and ps3 streaming is :flabbynsick:. I think you should just check the games list and go off that.

That depends on how bad you want to play the old shyt.
It's a bit too early to tell for me, but if I didn't have the shyt upgrade automatically with my stacked years, I probably would've kept my regular plan.
That's only because I've got so much shyt sitting in my backlog.

I'd say yes just to see how they do with this first year, then make a decision when it's time to pay again.

Agree. I got it for free so I’m cool with it. But I wouldn’t pay for it, personal opinion.

There just enough time for me to play what I got in current rotation and justify this as a good purchase :francis:


A few interesting games on the ps4 I haven’t played but nothing that’s gonna make me add to the backlog. I’ll wait

I ultimately went with ebay…it was cheaper…just make sure you either buy it from a top seller or if not someone with no lower than a 99.9% rating and hundreds of sales (preferably in the thousands tho)…also check recent seller reviews to see if they’ve sold other consoles…for me it further establishes peace of mind when there are recent positive experiences for the same item I’m buying from the seller…also you can make purchases as a guest so no need for an account if you don’t have one

I recently tried to buy from stockx but bcuz my account was new my shyt got flagged and I said fukk it and went with ebay which ended up being for the best
Yeah, I bought my PS5 from eBay back in April. I made sure that the seller had a great rating (he had a 100% positive feedback score), so I felt reassured.

So I bit the bullet and I'm perfectly happy with my decision. I love my PS5.
