What is the best PlayStation Stars reward?

This Seeking Tech guide will reveal what reward you should be redeeming for PlayStation Stars.

There are three reward categories that you can choose from.

The Digital Collectibles do not offer any monetary value. So, you should avoid getting these unless you want to show off to your friends.

The PlayStation Store Rewards only have a limited selection. Not to mention the points required to redeem titles like Stellar Blade is the equivalent of a full-priced purchase. So, you are better off waiting for a discount.

The last category is Wallet Funds. These will let you convert your points into funds for your PSN wallet. You can then use these to buy anything on the PlayStation Store. It is very important to note that your PlayStation Stars points have an expiration date. Thus, you should spend as soon as possible.

You won’t get any discount by redeeming the $20 wallet funds, since it is the same as redeeming four $5 wallet funds. Therefore, it is best that you use your points for the $5 wallet funds so that you don’t have to worry about the expiration dates.

How to maximize your savings during PSN sales

This Seeking Tech guide will show you how to save even more money during a sale on the PlayStation Store.

PlayStation Gift Cards

The first tip is to see if you can find any deals for PlayStation Gift Cards. Stores like Membership Costco may offer these cards at a discount for their members. Others like GameStop may also discount these cards during a sale.

In most cases, you usually end up saving an additional 10-or-20 percent just by using the discounted gift cards.

PlayStation Stars

Another tip is to make sure you sign up for PlayStation Stars. This is a free rewards program that could offer you reward points by completing certain campaigns, including buying specific games from the PlayStation Store.

If you are a PlayStation Plus member, then you can get around 10 points for every dollar you spend when buying digital games and DLC from the store. You can then redeem the PlayStation Star points for additional wallet funds.

PlayStation Plus

You may also get exclusive discounts if you are a PS Plus member. Depending on which version of the subscription you have, a title you are interested in may already be free if you have PS Plus.

So, you may not have to spend money to buy it.

Third-Party Price Trackers

Before buying anything from the store, you should use a third-party price tracker like PS Prices. These will tell you the price history of the product on the PlayStation store.

If a product was on sale for a cheaper price before, then it is a good idea to wait for another sale since it will most likely drop to that point in the future.

If you have a console with a disc drive, then the physical copy of the same title may be cheaper than the digital version. You can use a price tracking website like Deku Deals to see if a physical copy is currently cheaper than a digital copy.
