Welcome to the dawn of a new day of deals and, apparently, a mid-gen console refresh for Sony. I am of course talking about the recently unveiled PlayStation 5 Pro, a $1,199.95 (AUD) proposition that’s due on November 7 (preorders start Sep 26). If that eyewatering RRP doesn’t faze you, or you just love great games, you’ll want some of the “PS5 Pro Enhanced” titles to showcase this beast. For today, my PS bargains list is nothing but those. Enjoy!

In retro news, I’m belting a slime-shaped pinata with a ‘16’ on it for Dragon Quest IV: The Chapters of the Chosen. For many Aussies, said Nintendo DS port was our gateway into this legendary RPG series (due to non-existent local releases of the first three NES titles). It worked out kinda well because IV is the first entry in the Zenithia trilogy, and, despite its age, the episodic, time-hopping storytelling held up quite well (i.e., experience the backstories of your four future companions first, then, your hero quest to recruit them all). Speaking of banger classics, I can’t wait to play the glow-up of its predecessor, entitled Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.
