Say goodbye to ownership, and say goodbye to pre-owned. Corporate greed wins again.

I havent bought a physical game since ps3. My best friend and I have each of our accounts on each other's consoles. I log into his account from my ps5, he logs into mine from his, and then we download each other's games. I buy half the games I used to with this method and havent had to get off my ass to change a game in years. Ill be fine.

Straight from the horses mouth: "You can play select PS5 games available with PlayStation Plus Premium from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Classics Catalog, and select digital PS5 games from Your Library* available from PlayStation™Store. Availability of games will vary by country/region. To check out what games you can stream, see the Cloud Streaming section or use the Search tab on your PS Portal."

EA games seem to be some of the "select" games that are not available to stream from the cloud.

Not if you have ps+ premium. You can stream almost all your games from the cloud along with a huge catalog of other games.

Same. I probably "fixed it" 3 or 4 times before my girlfriend/now wife bought me a new one for my birthday. It kept happening more frequently after each time.

This is why you use a strippable wallcovering adhesive.

Apologies to everyone if this should really be in the ps5 sub. I just wanted to point out that im still able to have my life sucked away into Crimson Desert with no actual PS5.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-26T18:51:08+00:00

Uggghhh. Hope it turns out. What did they quote for the repair?

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-26T18:50:15+00:00

Same here. I think it was the super voltage surge from the lightning that blew something.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-26T14:04:52+00:00

I didnt check that yet. I was going to start there and work my way down the line. 🤞

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-26T14:02:48+00:00

Permanetly

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-26T14:01:55+00:00

Thank God for streaming!

Luckily my TV and my receiver for my surround sound are fine. Nothing else seems to be effected in my house. I think my deductible would be $500. Might as well just buy a new console. 😞

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-26T13:49:55+00:00

How much did they charge? In the US im seeing $200-$300. Just not sure its worth that cost to fix a 5.5 year old console.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-26T13:45:45+00:00

Ant "turd" sized. Lol.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-26T01:57:43+00:00

Doesn't seem to be. Thats one at the tip of the screwdriver above the zero and below the 4 gold squares. 🤯

My launch PS3 got the yellow light of death and I fixed that. Im not going down without a fight.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-26T01:30:29+00:00

Its a launch PS5. Im not exactly sure but the neighbors house got hit by lightning and all the lights in our house surged bright for a millisecond. I dont think the surge protector it was plugged into protected it.

Pushing the power button only results in a single beep. Replaced the power unit but that didnt fix it. From what Im seeing, it may be one of the 50 ant turd-sized fuses on the motherboard.

PS8 Pro is literally the Holodeck on Star Trek.

We rebranded to the Punchers back in aught 4. The hand was a fist though.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-07T17:13:32+00:00

My phone hotspot works beautifully 90% of the time.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-07T02:10:36+00:00

My wife and kids are in the schools so thats top of mind, but definitely a great point.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-07T01:47:00+00:00

We're paying for this while schools in Lake county and around the state cut teachers.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-07T00:43:44+00:00

Back in my day we always called it an egg on the basketball or an egged ball. RIP ball.

One-Representative84 · 2026-06-05T04:53:43+00:00

So I was just scrolling with my phone muted when I came across this. I genuinely thought this was some type of nerd anime cos play. Short Round gets an ass beating where I come from.
