Mad max is reptitive but ull likely enjoy playing it for 10-20 hours before you get bored ofmit and realzing u only made 1/3 of the way thru the game
If you're not into the jokes in the first 30 minutes, game isn't for you. That's the rest of the game.

Coupon won't work for me on the app either. Does it still work on the console or is it down everywhere?
Count me among those trying to use the 10% off code and failing. I also went to the Black Friday page to get the link to the code to see if it had changed/was unique to each customer (I was pretty sure it wasn't, but after the 'already used' message, I was suspicious) and that link just gives me an error page.

Wait with everyone else in hopes that they fix it before the sale ends.
Go figure when I finally be patient and wait out for a few days this happens.

Could we expect some kind of CyberMonday on the PS Store, or should I just buy what I want now?

Buy now.
There won't be another sale until next Tuesday when they go back to the usual weekly deals.

You guys have better all bought Jazzpunk for $6.
Disappointing Firewatch didn't go on sale.

If you want a multiplayer game, Overwatch. That community is likely going to be going for a while.
Yep just worked for me!

Overwatch screams longevity but one is a good typical high competition hardcore shooter and the other is Team Fortress 3. Overwatch has no singleplayer fyi

Can you use more than one 20% of code at one time or no? Thinking if I could stack two of them to get at least 50% off including the 10% off via Sony. Thanks.
Nope they don't stack.
PSN download speeds are absolutely atrocious. I've been getting about 10% of my max download speed.
I'm sure this is not new news to most people, but the holiday and the sales seem to be exacerbating the issue.
If I pause and restart, I can maybe get a good download speed that lasts for about 5-10 minutes, until it drops back down to crawling again. I left Titanfall 2 downloading overnight in rest mode and it barely progressed. I shouldn't have taken more than 30-45 minutes with my internet speeds, and I shouldn't have to babysit the download to keep pausing and restarting.
It's not, my ISP or router. PSN is just terrible. I tried all the DNS/MTU tricks posted online, but it didn't help one bit. Steam is blazing fast, XBL is pretty good, and even Windows 10 is good speed. It's pathetic when I have a better experience downloading over 70+GB GOW4, 50+GB Horizon 4 from the Windows 10 store. I think I downloaded both of those on both a PC and Xbox in way less time than one game on PSN.
Sony needs to get to work on a real fix for this, because it's ridiculous.

bad gameplay lol
The complaints about PSN's download speed have always seemed weird to me. My connection isn't SUPER great, only 35/5, but I never have issues with PSN. It always uses the max amount of bandwidth possible. I downloaded GGXrd Revelator, Neptunia VII, and Megaman Legacy Collection in a bit under an hour and a half earlier today (about 17-18GB). ¯\_(ツ

_/¯There was a recent post on Reddit. A network engineer looked in depth as to what was causing the random slow speeds of PSN downloads.
TL;DR version is Sony use a few different CDN (third party hosting companies that you download from). The main one always produced slow downloads. It's likely that it's bandwidth capped by design to save cost to Sony.
If you use a PC as a proxy server, you can get the static IP of one of the other CDNs and put it in your host file, you'll always get full speed downloads.
Another point is that content downloads in chucks, so you might start on a faster CDN then when your d/l speeds slow, you'd have changed to the slower one. Pausing / Resuming can change the CDN you're connected to, which is why it can improve speeds.

Consider yourself lucky. It's not a made-up issue. I didn't have issues with PSN for a long time, but in recent years it's been terribly inconsistent.
Yeah, thanks. I saw that I think, but didn't have time to dig into it. I'll have to see what's involved. It didn't look to be a trivial workaround for most users who don't want to tinker around. They really need to improve their service, though.

Adding myself to the beggars for an extra 20% off coupon to be PM'd to me. Really want to bite on God Eater 2, Tales of Zestiria and possibly Skyrim.
I just found that post on Reddit, and gave the proxy thing a try:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/commen...ds_are_notoriously_slow_i_might_have/d7gvuvh/
Pretty much you have to have the proxy program running on a computer (and make sure it's fully allowed via any firewalls). Then you just go into the options and note the IP address and port listed. (It helps if you set up your PC as an assigned static IP). Then on the PS4, when setting up your network, you choose to use a proxy and enter the IP address and port form the program.
After setting it up this way, I was able to get an internet connection on my PS4. The download speed test was still less than 10 Mb/s out of my 150-ish max, but I tired downloading a game and it seemed to be going pretty fast, and what I'd expect. I already downloaded all the massive games I own, so I can't try it with one of those,but next time I download a huge one, I'll give this a try. I'll probably just revert to no proxy until then.
If you're having issues when bad speeds, this might be worth a try.

How is Elder Scrolls Online?

Both great MP games, with TF2 having one of the best FPS SP campaigns. Hours and hours you can spend on each MP game, so it'll be worth it.
Excellent! Do you know if the 20% off code will stack with the 10% off code?
DriftingSpirit

Yep.

They will not stack, IIRC.
I bought star wars battlefront for $7.50 because I didn't think I'd like it all that much and just wanted to try it out. But now after spending a few hours with it and realizing how much fun it actually is, I'm regretting not getting the ultimate edition for $20. The season pass is more expensive than the ultimate edition. The dlc content looks really cool.

I'm about to take the plunge with a cart of about $150, so if anyone had a spare 20% off code they could PM my way, I'd be super grateful

I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask, sometimes people buy it and oops, you can only use it once per calendar year, and I'd certainly pass it along in that instance, good karma and all that. I've given and received codes for all sorts of things here.

I will happily take the 20% off code if someone has one. I plan to preorder tlg and steins gate 0 and it'll help a lot
I went a little overboard but some games were too cheap not to grab. I got all of the following for $178 CAD:
Just cause 3
Skyrim SE
Hitman season 1
COD Legacy Edition
Darksiders 2
Mega man legacy edition
Mordor
I was tempted to double dip on battlefield 1 because it's not stable for me on PC but checked myself before handing ea money for my pc stability issue. Grabbing Doom again was also tempting but I think it will be a one and done game for me on pc.
I can finally relax again. Game deals consume way to much thought when they all hit like this. Especially when AAA titles are discounted like this in mere weeks of release.

Buying your own code would still save you more than enough.
