With tax and all, that's a $111.00 savings from yesterday's prices!

I almost bought the standard PS5, but after considering it for a day and then this discount popping up while I was deciding what to do, it seemed like divine providence, so I figured why not go with the PS5 Pro, and apparently both of these games are 'PS5 Pro Enhanced', which sounds promising from what I've read.

I know this is kind of off-topic for this thread, but I'm just so excited that I had to share! I've got the console mostly set up and ready to go, and the games are downloading now!
It's a good choice in my opinion, the best way to play these two games. On the regular PS5, I always chose Quality Mode at 30fps. I can adapt to the frame rate, but the 60fps performance versions always looked as if I was playing a PS4 Pro game visually.

Now with the PS5 Pro, I leave it at the Pro mode, as it does PSSR upcalling and the output is very close to 4K and I can play PS5 games at 60fps now. I also bought the disc attatchment and black plates. The white plates of the PS5 was always an eye sore in my set up.

When you play Part 1, you will see why I was upset with the season as they only had 7 episodes to cram the entire first game. 2 of the 9 episodes were flashbacks that never moved the story forward. Season 1 needed two seasons or a 13 episode Season 1. I believe you will have a greater appreciation for the story once you play the game.
