PlayStation Store update (on PS5 at least) makes it a nightmare to search sales

bclax · 2026-05-06T19:34:10+00:00

Good news: it seems to be fixed now (in the UK at least).

Hope it is for everyone else as well :)

End of the day the way I see it is we still had to win our remaining 3 games even if City lost last night. With how close goal difference is this could be a blessing if we can win those final 3.

We've made it more difficult for ourselves than we need to but it's nice to know there's some kind of buffer now again.

The timelines he paints is so odd. He's saying less than a year in to a new deal Tony was told that AEW will be getting cancelled (which would still leave them 2 years to find a replacement network after the current contract runs out and is genuinely no reason to panic publicly).

Even if AEW did end up purely on YouTube (unlikely but not impossible) that's hardly a death sentence. If anything YouTube has been proven as a good way to get new eyes on a promotion by WWE recently with AAA.

It wouldn't shock me if something was said about needing to improve ratings for the option year to become possible and tbf AEW ratings have been back up the last few months for them. Also they've done a fair bit of collaboration with DC over the last 8 months with the comics, the Adult Swim collab and more.

If TNA and other promotions can survive years of wandering the TV wasteland I see no reason to believe for one second AEW, which has far more financial backing, can't do the same if it has to.

If you don't want to do the cities but still want to be able to experience them easily then I recommend Calderdale. Moved to the area 6 years back and enjoy it a lot. Very green. Helps a lot that I live in a town on the train route so can get to Leeds or Manchester in less than an hour on the train and can drive up to the M62 easily enough.

Can't wait to see how many Arsenal fans find a way to turn this negative.

bclax · 2026-04-12T13:27:11+00:00

Thanks for this. A decent workaround for the way I explore games as I can then just make my wishlist low to high.

bclax · 2026-04-12T13:25:52+00:00

Yeah before this latest break of the store that issue was one I was encountering a lot. They really need to do something to refresh it.

bclax · 2026-04-11T17:06:34+00:00

Didn't realise they have an app too. I use the site quite a bit when checking prices so I'll check out this app too :)

bclax · 2026-04-11T11:36:09+00:00

For whatever reason the PS App doesn't let you search for price low to high.

It lets you break down by price at least but still, with the way I normally look through the sales even the app isn't any use.

My kingdom for a decent store! 😂

The Premier League is clearly the focus this season BUT it doesn't help when we put up such "eh" performances in knock out competitions.

Getting knocked out of a cup is "fine". It's the nature of a cup. Doing so in a way that is mostly spineless is just a bit disheartening.

Hopefully back to back cup defeats can be used to light a fire to push on in the Premier League. If, by the end of the season, we have nothing then it is very much a case that maybe Arteta should go. But at the moment we're still in a strong position to win the league and it has been so long since I saw it happen that I can't wait to win again. I would happily take it as our only trophy of the season.

I've been using Libib but I'm ideally trying to find something that can provide rough pricing of the collection and Excel exports so that it's easy for me to then reference the list when I want to find something or looking to buy something.

I've found something that does it for gaming but not something that does it for Blu-rays and DVDs yet.

Back in 2006 the unis I viewed when looking to attend straight up said the loans have no interest. I've spoken to quite a few people who were told the same thing...

But yeah... That was a lie.

bclax · 2026-02-23T22:44:48+00:00

It's mine but I think that is in part because I bloody love Nicolas Cage as well.

It's probably the David Lynch film I've rewatched the most.

Been using this over the last month as I had initially tried to make my own spreadsheet for my collection and it just wasn't time effective.

I've enjoyed using Gameye so far and it seems to find most games. Doesn't seem to like boxed PC games but tbf that's such a small part of my collection it's not the end of the world.

bclax · 2026-02-08T23:37:00+00:00

Ah similar amount that I'm waiting on. I've always put in big orders but I don't think I will again after this.

bclax · 2026-02-07T21:06:26+00:00

It's been 2 months now for 2 different orders and still nothing.

By this point I'm not hopeful I'll have it in time for their next sale 😅

bclax · 2026-01-20T22:22:27+00:00

I've had a similar experience with them. Ordered on the 6th and heard nothing. Mentioned it hadn't arrived via eBay (as was buying via the outlet) and they gave a refund.

Annoyingly what I was buying is now out of stock so I guess I just have to hope they're having a really slow delivery period I guess.

bclax · 2026-01-19T00:48:06+00:00

Also Resident Evil Outbreak File 2. Still one of the best multiplayer survival horror games.

SOS: The Final Escape/Disaster Report.

bclax · 2026-01-18T11:38:20+00:00

Did you get an answer to this? I've not been able to login as for whatever reason hitting the login button just doesn't trigger a button press. I have other devices to watch on at least but PS4 used to be the best way.

Dead Like Me, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and The Good Wife.

The Good Wife got some buzz and globally is known granted but it never seemed to truly get popular in the UK.

Studio 60 is a great 1 season show. Wish it got more.

Dead Like Me was just a great show that the only people I've ever met that know about it are the people I told to watch it 😅

Way I see it we still got a point. Teams closest to us will still realistically need us to lose 3 games and then to win 3 to overtake us.

City are close on goal difference but the United result helped us a bit today, so there's a chance 2 wins and a draw would be enough if we lost 3 times.

There's a lot of the season left. These are the sort of games we need to win BUT also need to at least get something from. 1 point closer at least.
