The Last of Us: Part I Firefly Edition

PlayStation has fumbled greatly with the release of The Last of Us: Part I Firefly Edition. This pricy pre-order sets fans back $100 and feasibly, it would come in pristine condition for all the collectors out there, at least that’s what most come to expect.

Unfortunately, this is not the case as Sony appears to have cheaped out on the packaging, leaving the edition prone to damage from moving around, leaving dents and unsightly marks on the cover.

Over on Twitter, gaming journalist Ainsley Bowden got his copy, only to find the cover in less than ideal condition.

This story doesn’t have a very happy ending. He wasn’t given a replacement copy of The Last of Us: Part I Firefly Edition, with Sony only giving him the option of a 20% discount on a future purchase and the ability to return it. While that’s generous enough, Bowden’s situation is far from an isolated incident.

So far, Sony hasn’t commented on the incident. PSX Extreme has reached out to PlayStation for comment and will update the story if we hear back.

Sony Will Begin Processing PS5 Pre-Orders Soon

If you were one of the lucky ones who snagged yourself a PS5 directly from PlayStation rather than third-party retailers, we have some good news. It’s looking like Sony will begin processing orders in the very near future. According to a thread on ResetEra, a user shared an email they got from PlayStation Direct telling them that the release date is upon them and it’ll charge the full amount, which will include shipping and taxes if applicable.

Sony isn’t keeping anything from users, though, as it warns them the order may see disruptions with a cap of three business days due to COVID-19. It also warns that it could take a while for the tracking site to update.

It’s hard to believe it’s so close and we’ll be in a brand-new generation in a matter of days.

What do you think? What games are you looking forward to playing on the PS5? Tell us below!
