I actually thought cloud saves were just free on PS5. I didn't realize you had to have PS+ in order to utilize them, that's why I was disappointed.

I did this too, nice! Thanks for posting about it.

Here's the promo page for it:

https://www.playstation.com/en-us/deals/apple-tv-p...

PS4 owners can get 3 months free.

I've done other free subs for AppleTV+ in the past using the same account, no problem.

We just started Silo and I'm looking forward to Foundation season 2 soon...

I will have to watch Foundation, I saw previews when I watched Silo. Noticed this from your posted link:

1Offer may only be redeemed once per PS5 console; limit one per Apple TV+ subscriber. Must be redeemed by 07/31/23. Offer redeemable through PS5 Media Home.

So this offers needs to be redeemed this month.

I doubt anyone else is hyped for this, but the Gex trilogy is getting remastered. I doubt the jokes have aged well, but I'mma still get it.

edit: Tomba and Clock Tower remasters coming too.

Sure looks like it based on who released the videos. Too bad, I'd like to have played Clock tower.

Yeah Clock Tower is nice, I'd be fine paying $15 for digital. This will probably be a good $35-$40.

They’ll release 1000 at 50$ and open preorder a 199$ set.

I’m in the minority that doesn’t really mind LRG. I totally get the hate, though. I think I’ve only ordered from them once this year, but I do love having physical games. Hopefully both Clock Tower and the Zeboyd game - can’t remember what it’s called - are $29.99. Those are the only games they announced today that I’m interested in. Any more and I’ll probably pass.

I don't mind LRG, but if the choice is a $15 digital download or a $40 physical, I'm almost always going to go digital.

If there was a bit closer parity in the price (like $30 vs $40) it would be a more difficult choice.

But for all those ErickRPGs out there who need their Olivia Newton John fix, I'm glad LRG exists.

SUPER hyped. Tomba as well! Problem is, they didn't show any gameplay. So who knows how far away it is. also, I'm half way through Gex Enter the Gecko on my PS1. They talked about a new "engine" so is it possible it's more than just a "remaster" and it has beefed up graphics and actual analog control? If so, man. I might just want to wait and play that instead.

As far as poorly aged jokes. If you watch the trailer again when he said "who were you expecting" it does NOT sound like a young Dana Gould. I think it's possible he voices the trilogy again with new jokes. That's just my speculation based on the sound of his voice in that trailer.

It took awhile but I got it. I wonder if these will be prettier remakes. They do mention an engine.

Also sad about the no physical Baldur's Gate 3 :(

Good to see they are going physical for Gloomhaven, though!

I figured I'd give the COD: Cold War campaign another whirl since it's on PS+ now. And it's like 230GB lol. It's showing a 100GB language file haha.

That new Spider-Man 2 PS5 going up for pre-order on the 28th looks nice.

I prefer the white console but the controller looks nice. But still doesn't hold a candle to some of the cool special edition xbox controllers.

If you can wait according to Deallabs and other sources they are going to drop PS5 prices by $50 possibly.

They’d be dumb to do a PS5 Pro anytime soon. Plus I mean, what’s the point really? I feel that the hardware hasn’t changed much in the last 3 years. Unless it’ll promise all games locked at 60fps or something then that may be more attractive to me. They should just make a slim model and drop the price $50 on the standard model, since the current state of the PS5 console is a massive wifi router in itself.

The same crap has been retweeted by a few more reputable folks- but it’s so underwhelming that in over a year it has to be a joke.
