@Flaming_Kaiser It's not even 1% of PlayStation owners that care about going all digital. Not sure what you were getting at with the rest of your reply.
@Flaming_Kaiser There's nothing shameful about it. If Sony had given their reply sooner than they did, what would it have changed? Would the people that are upset be less upset? Nothing shameful in not caving in to the VERY small minority.
Comments here are like looking at Reddit, X, Facebook, and YouTube comments regarding Sony. If ya'll gonna leave Sony, then leave and quite crying and feeling like you have to tell everyone about it 5,000 times over the last 30 days. The rest of us don't care if you're ditching Sony products. We really don't.
I voted on a bunch and I'll probably only get two of them at launch. Imo poll should just be which ones are you going to be playing. Not necessarily which ones you're going to buy at launch.
@SleepyNick I mean. I don't spend all day every day here. Not nearly a fraction the amount of the "regulars". I don't know the guy and I can't read minds. He may be well known by other regulars here. I don't study user names or go comment hunting to look at past comments to try to lean their behavior or to try to dig up dirt on them to use in the present discussion. He's not a celebrity and it shouldn't even be a thing like "What? You don't know who Czar_Khastik is? How could you know know him and his gig?". Quite the unrealistic expectation. As far as his user name goes, same thing. I could have a user name i.hate.cats, but actually love cats. Expecting me to automatically know a person based on their user name is just weird.
Anyway. Back to the OP in question. "I will wait for them to arrive physically in my mailbox." How the hell am I just automatically supposed to know that they weren't even being serious? "But you're supposed to know who this guy is", is an unrealistic expectation. The reason I even said they were lying to being with is because Signalis would run them over $200 for a physical copy, not that they couldn't afford $200 but also... there is no physical edition of Big Walk. It would be a pretty natural thought to feel the person was lying for no reason.
@Czar_Khastik First part of your reply makes zero sense. Not sure even YOU know what you were trying to say there. lol. What's with the passive aggressiveness? Spit it out. Second part is just another lie.
@Northern_munkey And? I'm disabled. I also know many students who have two or three jobs. Maybe they have poor spending habits. Maybe they smoke or drink, or have something else they could cut back on to still be able to pay for PS+.
@nessisonett Imo if £80 one time a year is too much, perhaps it's time to find a new hobby... or a better job... or look at other spending habits? I'm disabled and only receive my very low disability income and I can afford it perfectly fine with zero issues. I think look at other reasons as to why it might be too much for you. Not trying to be rude, trying to be helpful so you can keep your PS+.
@nessisonett You need to get on the sale cycle, so that your subscription runs out when they have the Days of Play and Black Friday sales. Then you can resubscribe for a year of PS+ Premium for £80 each year at the same time. That equates to less than £8 a month. If that's breaking someone bank, they have larger issues than PS+. Even at regular price it's only £10 a month when you sign up for an annual plan. For £8-£10 a month you're getting access to 900-1000 games. It's still a great deal either way. Game Pass has half the amount of games.
LMFAO! These same people acted like their life was over when PSN was down for 5 hours, regardless of the fact they could still play physical AND digital single player games. Now we're expected to believe they're going to intentionally not use their PS5 for an entire week? Hell, they didn't even make it 5 hours with no online multiplayer before having complete meltdowns. 😂😂😂
@Dogbreath What is more user friendly about it? You log in and play a game. There's nothing more user friendly about either of them. More reliable? XBL goes down more often than PSN. New features? What exactly are those new features?
@Leonm Guess what also still worked? All of my single player digital games. The thing your missing is that if a game requires internet... It won't work on disc either.
@MrStark There is absolutely debate to be had because your opinion on XBL vs PSN is 100% subjective. Also, are you aware that you can state your opinions without being an *****?
@Shrek_Realista LOL! Sure. An all time low when they're leading in hardware AND software sales by a VERY large margin over both Series X|S and Switch 2? 😂
“If they’re going to go as far as eliminating physical packages, they may as well eliminate the hardware too. A television would be enough. Why would you need the console? If you’re going to get rid of physical games, you may as well go all the way.”
What an incredibly stupid and uneducated thing to say. Guy has obviously never tried to play something like a racing game via streaming instead of downloaded. With that comment, anything else he says has no validity. He threw all of that out the window with the stupid "get rid of the hardware too!!" bs.
@PuppetMaster I didn't say it wasn't possible, but you know full well you went cherry picking for that P.T. reference. The two games in question here that you mentioned are still available to download in the PS3 shop if you purchased them on the same account you're logged in to.
@PuppetMaster And I guess at the end I really don't care if you don't provide actual substantial proof of your misinformation or that you haven't done what it takes on your end to make the game playable. Shrug.
@ShadowRJ And? Are we supposed to get them for free after being delisted? What if you had bought them physically for PS3 and the discs got scratched, broken, or stolen? Would you just get new copies for free? Or would you have to pay high eBay prices to replace them? Meanwhile... my digital copies are all still good and I don't have to re-purchase them. Pretty much every delisted game that isn't an online game that had it's servers shut down is available in one format or another. There are tons of places that have them available to download for PS3, PC, whatever... even if you can no longer purchase them through legit means.
@viktorcode @Bizzy Keep in mind revoked/delisted are not the same thing. Delisted games can still be redownloaded and played if you purchased them. All of the delisted older Spier-man games for example, can still be downloaded if they were purchased even though they aren't listed for new purchases.
@Fiendish-Beaver Loser Linus fear mongering. The guy this happened to is a criminal. He's also acts as if this type of thing doesn't or can't happen on any other devices. Like, you know, a phone for just one example.
@XenonKnight Linus is an unintelligent *****. The guy for the most part doesn't ever know wtf he's talking about. That entire video is a huge over-reaction and nothing but fear mongering *****.
@PuppetMaster Prove that your account is the one that purchased the game or that you didn't delete the account that purchased it. Also prove that you are online and signed in to PSN, and that your PS3 is activated for game content. Prove that you didn't try to re-download it to reactivate the license. Also that your PS3's date and time are correct. Prove that your CMOS battery isn't dead. Video proof of this stuff or it's a non issue that can can be fixed on your end.
@ButteredCrumpet What? LMAO! That never happened. PS4 won gen 8 of consoles. Can't really count Switch as N released two 8th gen consoles and was released halfway through the PS4's cycle. Wii U and Xbox were both completely crushed by the PS4.
@VeldinX Not on consoles. Only on Windows, Android, iOS, Linux, and macOS. The PS4 release in the US for example is just an upscale of the PS2 version and is still censored and called Indigo Prophecy.
