Yeah sucks we can't mix stuff and have the ultimate nostalgia, I'd have the PS1 logo start up, PS2 menu start up, probably PS3 menu sounds, not sure on menu style.
Anyway cool we got classic themes back in some capacity at least.

Hmm, so a new leak via datamining has uncovered a new Cross-Buy icon intended for the PS Store on games that are on both PS5 and PC. #1 #2
I can't recall but apparently some games had this for the PS4 and PS Vita where one purchase got you the game on both systems? If this does become a thing though I wonder if it'll only apply to future releases or if it'll be applied to all cross-platform titles, and if the latter then will anyone who bought those games before Cross-Buy rolls out receive PC and PS5 access retroactively? Hmm

Yeah, PS4/Vita had several titles that were cross-buy. I know I have a few of them, but can't remember which ones off the top of my head...

I know there's a few of the games that share trophy/achievement lists if you connect your PSN to Steam, which I think is pretty cool. I know Stellar Blade is one of them, which I supposed I could do that and then 100% the PC version to get the last few trophies I need on PS5 and get them completed at the same time, haha. I know there's another game that has this feature too, but I can't remember which one... God of War: Ragnarok maybe?

Anyways, it'll be cool if some future games (or even past ones that get updated for it) come in a "by on one, get on both" package. As everyone probably knows by now, I am a lover of the double/triple/quadruple dip on games that I enjoy (evident by the fact that I've purchased and 100%'d Dark Souls five times). So if in the future there are games where I can purchase one less time (at the cost of having to have digital on PS5, yuck), then that might be pretty nice.

More images can be seen at the PlayStation Blog if you want a better look than what the video offers.


Hmm. I like them but I don't know how I feel about how harsh the black gradient is. The trailer thumbnail has a smoother gradient in the background behind each color which looks nicer to me, but maybe they look better in person? Hmm
