one of the most unsung heros of buying digital games.    i never by day-1 but for all of the complaints about $70 games if you fill you're wallet up from costco then a day-1 release is less than $60.  and i can apply that discount to any game at any time even on top of other sales.  i think on psn at least digital meets or beats physical most of the time as long as you shop the sales and don't buy at full price between sales.

nintendo games, however...

Oh ya, I use DekuDeals to check for sales for individual games on Steam, eShop, PSN and Xbox.

https://www.dekudeals.com/


Just recently they implemented bundles from Fanatical and Humble which helps me a lot too. 


Nintendo games for sure never go on sale which is why whenever I buy a Nintendo game (always digital nowadays) is through that Costco eshop deal lol.

for PC i know you're not wrong.  i don't really game on PC so it's not really worth my time to figure out the good from the bad.  i guess let me know if i'm wrong but for keys that work on psn i think all of them are bad sites.  i bought my ps+ sub from CDKeys once and then i found out about how they work and i refused to go back.  but if you actually know of a legit place to buy ps+ extra at a discount let me know.  i bought 3 years worth but run out in this january.  i was used to black friday deals being a think but sony has only done it for new subscribers for the last 2 years. 

Yeah CDKeys/Loaded is a site I refuse to go cause of experiences like you mentioned, just not worth the risk.

For outside of Steam, I've been going to Costco - by default its 10% off but during certain times of the year, I've seen deals going down to 20% off like I bought $200 eshop card for $160 and prior to that $100 eshop card for $80 (when in default its usually $90).

I know NewEgg tends to do deals but closer to holidays later in the year.

Not sure about ps+ subs specifically - but I would recommend using slickdeals to look for deals - I tend to buy deals outside of specific games (and with games too) on there from time to time.

i think a library of 7000 just proves my point of how pointless humble is.  my psn is about 1000 these days and it is just too big.  my capacity to play games is about 10-15 a year.  7,000 games is 466 years of a gaming backlog.  you're just buying cover art to display in your steam app at this point..

Well my bundle purchases are between Humble and Fanatical which is why its that large.

But anyways, between PS4 and PS5, I have almost 800 (close to a thousand if you include my PS3, PS2, PS1 and PSP libraries).

My capacity to play games depends on how long of a game is, for an example this year I've finished about 19 games ranging from a 1 hour long game to a game that took me 182 hours to beat lol.

I just like having a large library/option to play , which is why I dont see any reason in getting into stuff like Game Pass, PS+, etc.

Also the fact that when you redeem the "Free" games, it blocks you from purchasing the game if you want to separately - unless they fixed that?

i'd consider this fixed but also it depends on which store front you use:
- the mobile app does not allow you to buy games in your ps+ library
- the web site (PC browser) does allow you to buy games in your ps+ library
- the ps5 store does allow you to buy games in your ps+ library but they push you in the direction of the included versions so it's like an extra click to do it.


..i don't know about the store on ps4 specifically.  i haven't shopped there since i got a ps5 and i can't remember exactly how long ago they made this update.   it's been fixed for a long time though.

I buy my eshop cards from Costco when they go down to 20% so $80 for a $100 eshop card. I'm planning to do for PSN  when it goes on sale again for GTA 6 pre-order.

Key sites are good if you go to the legitimate ones, the one you may be referring to is the popular CDKeys (now known as Loaded) which I dont use because of what you mentioned.
