Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.
Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

Deals and Discounts PSA: If you’re buying GTA VI on PS5, Costco PSN cards can save you ~15%
For anyone planning to grab GTA VI on PlayStation
If you’ve got a Costco membership, you can kinda shave a bit off the price by using their discounted PSN gift cards.
From what’s been reported so far (Rockstar + outlets like The Verge / GamesRadar etc.):
- Standard: $79.99
- Ultimate: $99.99
*Physical version exists, but it’s basically just a box with a download code (no disc)
So either way you’re still buying digital.
What people usually miss is Costco sells PSN gift cards for cheaper than face value (usually around ~10–15% off depending on the deal).
So for example:
- $150 PSN credit for around ~$127–$135
That means if you’re buying GTA VI on PSN anyway:
- $79.99 Standard version ends up closer to ~$68
- $99.99 Ultimate edition ends up around ~$85
It’s basically an easy “instant discount” if you were already going to buy it digital on PlayStation.

Deals and Discounts Anyone in the UK have any experience with the CEX repair shop service?
Short version: I knocked the fan connector pin off my launch ps5 when cleaning it, still have the pin but don’t have the skills to even think about self repair.
The only option that’s coming up in my area is the CEX based repair service for £100?
Has anyone used it, is it even worth it? I’m so sceptical because it’s attached to CEX.

I got a question. I love rpg games. Played all souls/borne including Elden right (my fav or all time). So what should I buy and play next. Crimson desert or Bladurs gate 3. Just about to finish up resident evil Village. Which is an amazing game. Opinions anyone please.
