Why does everything need an account nowadays soon I'll have to have an account just to leave the house and what are greedy companies doing with our data selling it so we get more spam emails and phone calls
You know consoles are too expensive when they do stupid things like this, it's ok for impatient people but why wouldn't you just save up your money or at least have it like a mobile phone contract
Would have been a day one purchase but I'll wait now and see what it's like if it is a 2-minute time limit for Pro Skater 4 hopefully they'll patch it out later down the line after the complaints
I can already stream digital games I own from the console itself as well as disc a game if it's in the drive but surprise Sony now wants you to pay again to play your same games
@RiverGenie because in the future you won't be able to buy it cheaper because there won't be any any second-hand copies if it's only digital and they can charge whatever price they want usually digital store sale prices are more expensive than physical why people stand up to greedy corporations I do not understand don't you want consumer rights
Saying it's same price on the Xbox store is just another reason why there should be a physical release I can pick it up for £30 on Xbox physically we don't have that option on PlayStation because of greedy Microsoft they have always hated the second hand market and is slowly getting rid of it and people are not even bothering to fight back anymore
I have never lost a disc in my life, You have to actually go out of your way to break a disc I have discs that are over 30 years old for the mega CD that's still work, a disc drive braking is a limitation of the hardware not the software, there are so many more cons for buying digital a limited release, having to pay more, no trade-in value, losing access to your account, unable to play games even if you have bought them if the server goes down, companies taking that game from your library, takes longer to download a game than it does to install from a disk, only good thing with digital you don't have to get off your fat ass and change your disc.
@nomither6 what happens if you play the new one and feel like checking out the older games which are sometimes better the only way you'll be able to do that is buying them physically
Microsoft had been trying to get rid of the second hand market since the Xbox One launched and there was a huge outcry but now people are coming around to the idea of being ripped off, there is literally no way of playing the older games in the series as they have all been delisted.
@GirlVersusGame you can get it from CeX for around £35 on Xbox never price check anything on Amazon they're always more expensive and sometimes it goes on sale in Argos as well
Gamepass literally killed Xbox it's just not sustainable for AAA games even movie streaming services are now adding adverts because they can't afford to keep pumping out content and it's not as if it's quality content most of the time it's just to say look how much original content we have to get you subscribed
It really goes to show how far the PlayStation 5 is behind the last Generation when we're still calling new releases next gen when they are actually current gen
I don't have this problem when I go into a shop to buy games I also get to talk to other human beings about my passion and Hobby no wonder everybody is so antisocial nowadays
@Czar_Khastik not always reliable what happens if you lose access to your account. Happened to someone I know when someone started charging his card on the PlayStation Store
It's not just about games it's also about getting the best movie experience as well with 4K Blu-rays remember PlayStation movies where you could purchase digital films that's Sony scrapped and now you have no access to including all the films you have purchased
If Sony want to make more money with their exclusive titles they should sell them cheaper then more people would be able to afford them instead of being £70
Will probably get it if it's no more than £30 would have paid more if it had all the DLC but knowing Microsoft they'll try to squeeze every penny they can out of you they got to make the Game Pass lost up somehow
The only reason to own a Xbox so I guess I don't need to anymore, I do wonder if there'll be a PlayStation 4 version though as it was originally on Xbox One
But does the games sales account for second-hand markets? people are buying less new because of the price are more second-hand I haven't purchased a game at release since God of War Ragnarok and haven't purchased a new gaming years
@Stickleman you got the defective edition as well as mobile ports that you can't play until you contact customer services with your receipt information
