Last week, many tried -- and most failed -- to get their hands on the extremely limited PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition, of which only 12,000-ish units were made. But the crush on PlayStation Direct for regular Pro units and other 30th anniversary accoutrements all at the same time led to a lot of disappointment. What did each of us come out of the scuffle with, and how do we think Sony can better manage special events like this, where loyalty and engagement should matter a whole lot more than random queue placement. Plus: PSN goes down for a surprising amount of time, HBO's second season of The Last of Us gets a trailer, something seems up between Sony and Square Enix, Dragon Quest's creator isn't too happy about censorship, and more. Then: Listener inquiries. With some distance now established, what are our overarching thoughts on the PlayStation Portable? Where is Capcom's Pragmata hiding, and will it ever come out? Are in-game Photo Modes actually popular? Can we contain our laughter at watching someone playing Heavy Rain without doing any of the QTEs?Timestamps:0:00:00 - Introduction

Look Up 2:27 of Delusions of Grandeur - Glazed Donut Zero (Official Video)

Also, you gotta play smart with apps and deals. With BOGO for $1, I’ve gotten 2 McDoubles, 2 hot and spicy McChickens, and paired it with a free large fry for orders over $2, all for literally under $8. Of course, quality is very hit or miss, but don’t deny that you can get fat as hell on the cheap by comparison.

No burger place that uses sesame seed buns can be called sophisticated. An In N Out burger is far higher quality than a five guys burger.

Card Captor Corey

Okay, so how has Shrek not been on Knockback yet? This is unacceptable from Colin and Dagan

dopewasher

I never understood the appeal of Five Guys and their unseasoned burgers

Bogey

Any guesses on the gaming celebrity that insisted on first class? I’m gonna go with Troy Baker. And honestly I don’t blame him

Big Fudge

In the grand scheme of the show this is so insignificant but I cannot wait for Colin to play Persona 3 Reload after saying he recently purchased it. We need a spoiler cast for the game.

john spatta

Guy talking about $5,000 for a bundle on eBay. 1) thats what some are listed for doesnt mean its selling for that. 2) ebay will take 12.5% 3) ebay will send you and the irs a 1099 so youll have to pay taxes on the profit.

Wayde

Pro console is still available Psvr2 style lack of sales incoming

JL

You don’t have to do anything with the trophies, Colin. They are updated automatically right away 😂

Girth Brooks

Colin last week- ppl think ps5 pro will fail but we’ll see who’s laughing when it’s SOLD OUT! Colin this week after realizing ps5 pros are still easily available- well that could mean a number of things.

Shadi Haddad

Hey guys, just wanted to chime in on the AstroBot/Square Enix exclusion bit. While yes a licensing fee may have gotten in the way, it is much more likely that Square's general overprotectiveness of their IP was what may have been the barrier. Square generally does not want the depictions of their characters to be messed with, so making the characters in Bot form was probably what turned them off. In Playroom, the buster sword was shown in its original form, but no characters were in Bot form. Also, if you look into the how difficult Square was with Nintendo in getting their characters in Smash, this lines up with how particular and overprotective they are. That said, if it was about money, I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up making their characters in a DLC pack because they feel their characters are more valuable and should be a separate purchase that's probably overpriced. And I'm gonna buy it. This is sadly just the way they do things.

Branden

A five guys single cheese burger in socal is twelve dollars, an order of fries is six thirty five.

Cyprus Davis

I 100% understand Colin’s point about the “synching” trophies debacle lol. I always hit the PS button and press circle as well, even though I’m pretty sure Dustin’s point is the truth of the matter. Had a little laugh at that lol.

Michael Rogers

I'm so bummed that I couldn't even get that beautiful anniversary controller at the very least. I've had every console since PS1, spent countless thousands of hrs and dollars in the ecosystem, and been a lifelong fan. But apparently it's too special for even me lol. Congrats to all the industry insiders and scalpers.

Solidest Snake

Damn, I miss the dagan and knockback.. it's been too long

William Thomas

On the five guys subject, I used to manage one for a few years. The idea of all the toppings are free is more of an illusion. It falls more in line with you get what you pay for and since the burgers are priced high you’re essentially paying for every topping. If you get a Double Bacon Cheese Burger for 14 bucks or so you can get unlimited topping and side hack (you can ask for extra cheese and bacon as well as it’s included in the price). You get what you pay for so make it worth your while! If anybody would like to know more about five guys I’m sure I can answer your questions.

Caleb Peacock

At the lull of night,and if the chef obliges, you can get a 7 decker burger at steak and shake

kunsam

Another week, another round of the crew downplaying the ongoing desecration and censorship of games. Last week Dragon Age, this week Dragon Quest, I wonder what it'll be next week. So exciting! Chris comparing what happens today to Fox News of old makes no sense. Glenn Beck was whinging about games on his TV show, he wasn't embedded in the industry like the alphabet soup crowd are today. All of this shit goes in one direction.

Greg McDonald

Damn, I played though around 5 hours of Heavy Rain on Twitch a few months ago, fucking everything up on purpose because I thought it was funny. But I gave up because no-one was watching, I could have been a star 😂

NeO JD

Col, I do my part by never acknowledging sneezes at all

Big titty drinker

The 30th anniversary ps5 pro craze and the regular ps5 pro shunning is why I don’t take gamers seriously 😒. The entire internet was in a fake outrage uproar about the pro and the second they release a color way that’s gray instead of white…. y’all start CLAPPIN YALL ASS LIKE SOME GOD DAMN SEALS AT THE ZOO! Just hilarious the things that make or break a purchase for some people.

Angel

To movieguy 34, hold onto to sell it later. That's my advice. May come a day when you really need the money, wait for then.

Donald's Cloaca

I have Green Day's "Bullet in a Bible" concert on UMD.

D-Dayjackson

12000 of the ps color way was such an awful idea it got bought up by scalpers everywhere just to be sold for 5x the price. It sucks because I’d buy it in a heartbeat but couldn’t

Derek Alcott

I agree with Dustin on open preorders. It frustrates me how companies hardly ever do this.

Michael Mashpotato

The Shrek 2 dvd menu is absolutely goated. I’m 38 and have been a bit of a movie buff my whole life. I absolutely recommend the first two movies. It’s good shit.

Jacob Lesperance

I agree with the man who wrote in about Sackboy. I think it actually is better than AstroBot. And I really liked AstroBot.

Jason Thompson

I think PlayStation set the bundle and regular Pro preorder at the same time as an impulse buy. Get the people that I’m in the queue and I didn’t get the bundle I might as well buy the Pro since I’m here.

Xenomorph Moriarty

Shocking to hear someone say Todd Howard has inherent “charisma” and “likability”. Dude is just a dweeb in a leather jacket lol

Adam Martinez

I think it’s just as disingenuous to call every Nintendo game the same just bc they’ve been using the same IP for decades, as if Zelda 1, Wind Waker, & BOTW are all the same games. I think it’s even more impressive that they’ve been able to reinvent these IPs so cleverly and still keep such high quality + high sales. “Mario again?” is such a surface level take that ignores the great level design & mechanics that Nintendo creates, even after all these years.

Michael Mashpotato

My ears were just murdered at the 3:07 hour mark 😭

Brenden

Chris thinks Christian’s are running the game industry and censoring women? Lmaooo give me a break

Hozi

Square Enix has for some reason gone hostile against Playstation when they taken their multi platform charge.

Directional Joy

I would love to be a fly on the wall, during Smash Bros. business conversations, when talking financial gain to Square (if anything 🤷‍♂️) for the Kingdom Heart’s roster addition. Perhaps, Sony wasn’t willing to hit Square’s price tag.

Guatles

FYI Boys, El Shaddai ascension of the metatron HD Remaster actually came out on steam Sept 1, 2021.

Big titty drinker

Also I LOVE that the reader called them out for their hypocrisy in terms of the third person over the shoulder thing. That idea/notion is something that was popularized by Xbox fanboys / trolls. It is pretty annoying to hear it pushed so heavily on sacred symbols every week. Especially since what the reader said is 100% true in that Dustin doesn’t really hold Nintendo accountable for this at all on his Nintendo show. He tried to say that Nintendo does it more creative ways but that’s just kinda bullshit in my opinion. If you’re gonna make fun of Sony for having too many mature players themed games then you should also make fun of Nintendo for only making family/kids themed games. But I feel like he just gives it a pass because he has a higher affection/ affinity for those games. This is a flaw in BOTH how Chris and Dustin critique games in general. Stuff that they are more invested in or bigger fans of they give a lot more passes to and express a lot more grace when discussing. But when it comes to things that they don’t like the style of the game as much (whether it’s good or bad) they are hyper critical on aspects of the game that are inconsequential or just out right try to make fun of the game/ be little it. A big example of this is a game like Elden ring and how they endlessly glaze the game no matter what

Drew's Dew

Play around with ghost of tsushima’s photo mode Incredible

Caleb Peacock

I liked sackboy just as much as Astrobot and agree with the write in. The co-op with my fiance was really fun, and just like Astrobot, the game had us smiling the whole time. I also think the last challenge level ripsnorter is harder than the Titanfall 2 speedrun level. Astrobot challenge levels were a little too easy, especially the last one. One of the few drawbacks of that game for me

C

There is no way you guys just said scalping is ok, I refuse to believe I just heard that.

Ahlickaloo

My wife’s new hair straightener start up beeps are identical to the ps5’s angry beeps when it turns off incorrectly

Kevin Cooper

A spin-off TLOU game following Joel during the time when Tommy was with the Fireflies would be pretty dope, I think.

NecrumOddBoy

That long ass tone to beep out the spoiler at three hours and eight minutes had me dying

Bailey Callis

Is it possible for Playstation to just fail, or make a bad decision without Colin justifying it as secretly genius?

Dennis

I wonder how it feels watching a movie for the first time that starts with ''Smash Mouth - All Star''. After the song has been memed into the ground ten times over.

Lawson72

When Collin thought you have to sync trophies on PS4 and PS5, first thing I thought was "Bless your heart". Just wow man, that a decade of blissful ignorance. He thought he had all this power, and just got robbed of all of it.
