Playstation plus collection : turning a stellar offer into a complete mess.

As a Ps4 only owner I don't see the issue.
It's a special offer for people who have a Ps5. Also they aren't taking away or reducing the value of Ps+ on ps4 because this collection was never part of the offer. They are increasing the value of Ps+ when tied to a $400 minimum purchase of a new console.

I doubt you'll find a more slave like fanbase outside of the cult like apple mob.

Don't really see what the big deal is. I can't get a ps5 but I'm not worried about those games disappearing.
Edit: just looked at some of your responses op and.... To be nice I think you didn't understand what the ps collection is and now you're pissed once you realized your mistake.

What the fuck is this thread, it was pretty clear that PS Plus owners 'ON PS5' get that collection as a bonus.
Where is the miscommunication..? It's not for PS4 Users, its for PS5 owners only!
So just because it's part of PS Plus because that's the way they chose to deliver it, you think you are entitled because you own a PS4 and have PS Plus?
Sorry OP but there is no mess... Buy a PS5.

I know the meaning in French. Maybe it's not the same in English ?

Did it seem like it might also be a PS4 thing to you?

No.
You will take note that I was not suggesting this to begin with. However, there was no detail on how it was going to work etc...

Fair enough. But it obviously would work similarly to the ps4. How else would you get the games.

Dude, the issue is that you misinterpreted what the promotion involved. Not many others interpreted it that way, so you appear to be the oddball. On top of that, your interpretation/expectations of what the promotion entailed makes no business sense. You were basically expecting Sony to provide a massive PS+ giveaway, when this is clearly just a PS5 promotion. It's tethered to PS+, but that's it. It's not a PS+ promotion in and of itself, otherwise you would get access. However, the amount of games being bundled in the collection outstrips anything Sony has offered for PS+ ever. That alone should have made you realize that it came with strings attached. That and the clear wording on the promotional materials. Take the L and move on.

I think you just worded the issue poorly but yeah you kind of got set on lol. Your problem is the redemption of the offer not the offer itself. You have to think of it as a redemption voucher included in the box.
I did the same. I have a PS5 and wanted to stick days gone on download from the app/store. But you can't. The only way to show you are eligible is to claim it from the PS5 itself. I was puzzled but then it makes sense. If anyone can claim it through ps+ benefits then they would be giving it away to everyone. Its just a limitation or a quick fix to a problem they hadn't thought of.
Besides most people getting PS5 are going to be Sony fans anyway so probably own at least 50% of those games anyway.

God, I am so glad I don't have a cap now with my new fiber optic provider. I came close to going over Comcasts 1.2TB limit several times since the Covid shutdown started. I work from home full time now which didn't help at all.You could honestly sum up all this REEEE into “It didn’t meet my personal expectation’s even though Sony laid out the details already so I’m just gonna be mad instead.”
Also I added all those games to my collection and downloaded them to an external last night for later use, shit was SO cash.

Um, I understand that angle but I am saying it's a bad business move when you factor in the competition. Sony isn't competing with itself here.

This is the REEE definition of consumer friendly - ie: it doesn't benefit me = anti-consumer.

grow up. It's sad you need to insult others to make a point and make yourself feel superior.

PS Plus Collection Games Can Be Played on PS4 via PS5 Workaround
Easily redeemable

all you need to do is head to the PlayStation Store on PS5 and select the PS Plus Collection tab. From there, redeem all the PS4 titles you'd like to play or add to your digital collection, and then those games will now be downloadable for your profile on PS4.

Yeah my new billing cycle just started and downloading all those games was a great test of how fast I could download them all lol. If I didn’t have unlimited data I’m sure ATT would be sending me some interesting messages right now.

Thank You
How tf is this not consumer friendly. They're literally giving away 22 free games with their console. Seems like for you the only way to be consumer friendly is to just give everyone free stuff but that's not how it works.

That's a bit overly dramatic. PS4 users not getting access doesn't devalue the cost of Plus for them, you're still getting the two minimum monthly PS4 games, and the monthly PS5 games you can still claim without owning a PS5. And if you've been subscribed to Plus for a while, about half of the games in the PS5 collection have already been distributed in the monthly selection anyway.
Besides, this is only a problem if we work on the assumption that:
A) this is a limited time offer, which may well be the case
B) Sony won't give much in the way of a window if/when it does reveal that it is a limited time offer
If next February Sony were to come out and say the Plus Collection will be removed at the end of the month, I could see why that could be annoying for people who weren't able to get in on the first wave of PS5s; but for all we know, this time next year it could still be available, and perhaps even offer a few more titles. I think people should save their outrage until we know if there's an expiry date on this.

We don't even know if it is a limited time offer yet. That's the thing.
