Are the random battles as overly intrusive as on III? That was my only gripe with that otherwise excellent game.

Used to use headphones for gaming until I got my Dolby Atmos setup in the lounge....still wows me every day, will never go back.

@1970sGamer Thanks, I'll probably do P3R first. Unlike yourself I really enjoyed P5R but tapped out after about 70 hours of it.

@Don_Quixote227 Have you played Metaphor Refantazio? I have that AND P3 Reload to get stuck into and hope that's just as good.

Life is far too short and enjoyable to get as angry as some people do about the Pro.

I enjoy using mine, am fortunate enough to be able to buy nice things and wanted the best console to go with my A95L OLED.

Most games run better on it, some look absolutely amazing on it. And some don't. Shrug. No point venting spleen about it.

@Czar_Khastik I buy digitally just so I can make someone waste their time posting a comment telling me that physical is better because I could have got it cheaper and be able to resell it or trade it in. 😀

@Sergo Charging doesn't work like that, modern usb-c is an interoperable universal standard.

You can plug any device into any charger and the device will take the charge it needs, either the maximum the charger supplies or the maximum the device charges at if it's a higher capacity.

It makes zero difference using an official charger to plugging into any high speed phone, laptop etc charger that you probably have right next to where you sit.

This is how Sony sell the official chargers, making people believe they're somehow better than anything else.

Since it's 'free' on PS+ at the moment, I'll give it a go.

@themightyant The worst is when you buy a game in a sale, it goes into the backlog and then it's given away on PS+ Essential before you've even played it

£800 for something with a tiny LCD screen that plays games worse on every metric going?

puts stupid head on "Yes, I'll take two of them my good Sir!"

Whatever your preference (third for me), it's great to have the choice.

@Dalamar You're right, going by your impeccable logic we might as well have just stuck with the original PS1 forever.

Sounds like 2028 then. FSR4 on the Pro next year, next console couple of years later. That'll be 8 years, but considering the first year was spent in covid-related supply issues and delays, it sounds reasonable.

And I echo other comments that we just don't need a new generation before then - Xbox is finished, and Nintendo are peddling a console that struggles to get to PS4 Pro levels on a good day.

As someone who was there in 1994 with a Japanese import PlayStation (complete with the tiny Japanese controllers!) this was too nostalgic to not purchase straight away, £95 or not!

Had mine the previous year!

Imported one from Japan December 1994 with Tekken and Ridge Racer. S-video into the TV and glorious 60fps with no PAL borders and slowdowns.

Great times.
