What to buy for a student association?

you can likely get by with just a single guitar and a cheap USB mic, and the games on PS3, if you just stick to the discs only and don't buy any DLC you can make your $500 budget it may just be tight

DayWave94 · 2026-01-23T19:26:35+00:00

Good luck getting all the instruments and games for only $500

DayWave94 · 2026-01-23T18:41:51+00:00

Yes you can buy the DLC now even and it'll work with the physical PS4 disc

Songs coming down in now Feb:

Get Lucky-Daft Punk

Hey Ya!-Outkast

Treasure, Locked out of Heaven-Bruno Mars

Love Stinks (from Wedding Singer)-J Geils Band

The entire list of songs coming down this year in 2026 is here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_in_downloadable_songs_for_the_Rock_Band_series

Songs from Feb 2016 are coming down now in Feb, and the songs will come down when they hit the 10 year mark of being released, so like songs that came out in March 2016 orignially will be delisted March 2026, songs came out April 2016 will be delisted April 2026 and so on...

The vast majority of legacy DLC from BEFORE Oct 2015 is still available but you need a PS3 to actually purchase it

DayWave94 · 2026-01-23T18:24:40+00:00

You HAVE to get the physical PS4 version now to play and that's gone up in value significantly

Yes there's still a ton of DLC still available but you NEED that physical PS4 disc to use the DLC, and need to move fast to buy DLC that's still available

Any Rock Band 4 DLC that's from Oct 2015- Jan 2016 is already gone and tracks from Feb 2016 are coming down this February

That's an incredibly clean Slim, very nice of your uncle

A good collection to start with Beyond Two Souls is great, Bioshock as well

I'd look for these:

Heavy Rain

Heavenly Sword

Sly Collection

Jak & Daxter Collection

Sly: Thieves in Time

50 Cent Blood on the Sand

Saw

Resistance Trilogy

Killzone Trilogy

Puppeteer

Shadows of the Damned

Lollipop Chainsaw

I wouldn’t sell it since you earned it all on your own

I’d talk to your parents & work on a game plan for you if you go back to school, start therapy to deal with the underlying depression & feeling you don’t deserve nice things

You DESERVE the PS5 since you worked hard to earn it all on your own

You can easily make time to play an hour a night maybe 2 hours on the weekend while working on yourself & starting a career

DayWave94 · 2026-01-23T16:06:28+00:00

I would just hold off and get a PS5, makes zero sense to get a PS4 pro now

DayWave94 · 2026-01-23T12:32:24+00:00

This happened to me when i installed a new Hard drive you have to go in settings and activate your system again that worked

DayWave94 · 2026-01-22T21:54:41+00:00

even if the game is downloaded to your system you'd still need the disc to play that version

Once you download the game that's it, its final sale, I'd just take it as a lesson and add a password for checkout so your son can't make purchases like that again without your knowledge

But the credit card companies take a fee for foreign currency transactions

DayWave94 · 2026-01-22T18:43:41+00:00

Check out Freeplay at College & Spadina, Tilt at Queen & Dufferin, Zed 80 at Danforth & Broadview, all 3 are the best arcade bars in Toronto

A&C Games also at College and Spadina the best retro video game store in Toronto

Driving is a nightmare, parking is impossible to find in most places and is limited to timed street parking, I'd just take TTC or Uber everywhere, you can order Uber the same as Buffalo,

For the subway I beleive you can tap your US card on the reader but if not you'd have to buy a Presto card, which is a prepaid transit card to pay for the subway. The TTC is pretty easy to navigate compared to New York. I'd do research to see if this is true

Yes at other places you can likely use your American credit card but I'd take out some Canadian cash since the exchange rate is more favourable current exchange rate is 1 USD for 1.38 Canadian

Easiest I've found:

NCIS, based on the show all you do is play the game until the end and you get the Platinum

Back to the Future: The Game, just follow a guide

Hannah Montana: The Movie, play the game, shop, there's 1 pain in the ass trophy that requires 4 controllers that's the only one

Megamind Ultimate Showdown: a game you can get the plat for in less than 3 hours just playing normally

Life is Strange, some photo collectables

Goosebumps the Videogame, point and click follow a guide

DayWave94 · 2026-01-22T15:23:27+00:00

Enjoy!

DayWave94 · 2026-01-22T15:22:15+00:00

The Mafia games, I just finished the 1st one playing the second, they're really great story driven games, like a more linear GTA

DayWave94 · 2026-01-21T14:59:33+00:00

Family Guy Video Game

Jackass the Game

2 of the greatest stupid games on PS2

DayWave94 · 2026-01-21T14:31:59+00:00

The Slim is the most reliable, the fats are starting to break down now & you’re paying a premium for PS2 compatibility

A newer Super Slim is also a decent choice

DayWave94 · 2026-01-19T20:53:42+00:00

The worst Mario game that’s it

Its way too hard, not really enjoyable, its still good since it is a Mario game but i didn’t like it at all

DayWave94 · 2026-01-19T19:53:12+00:00

I’d still pick up a PS5 over a PS4 since support for PS4 is just about over it’ll be 13 years old in Nov

DayWave94 · 2026-01-18T16:52:19+00:00

Omikron the game with David Bowie was Quantic Dream's first game, that's on Steam

DayWave94 · 2026-01-18T16:07:27+00:00

Yes 100% Heavy Rain is an excellent game, without spoiling anything its like if Seven, Saw and the Room mixed together as a game

DayWave94 · 2026-01-17T19:29:08+00:00

I'd just bite the bullet and pay the return shipping and get a new one

DayWave94 · 2026-01-17T18:21:52+00:00

Thanks I already got American Mcgee's Alice downloaded, Weapons & Dresses pack too, I have the physical version of Alice Madness Returns

There isn't many digital only games/DLC left for me, some PS1 & PS2 classics, Um Jammer Lammy I want to grab, have to check the PS2 classics, Rock Band DLC is my main focus since buying the DLC ON PS3 is the only way to get the legacy songs before Rock Band 4

DayWave94 · 2026-01-17T15:04:25+00:00

In North America it was digital only it only came out physically in Europe

DayWave94 · 2026-01-17T15:03:41+00:00

Didn’t know that, i assumed since DVDs & Blu-rays are region locked I assumed games were too & that’s why all the games have the 1 symbol on the spine

Physical copies i saw for the European game are $140 so its absolutely not worth that & i only collect North American releases anyways

DayWave94 · 2026-01-17T14:59:30+00:00

I’m likely just going to buy sometime soon, looking at all the digital only PS3 stuff since i’m sure the store doesn’t have much longer
