@Cres_Waven1 Please see previous comments debunking this. It's not comparable at all. 93% or thereabouts of PlayStation games can play directly from the disc.
Won't be buying anything in Dollars. Use Pounds here. Bit pedantic i know but you could have included it in the article you know since its a UK site.π€·ββοΈ
@Medic_alert This is a very good point. Bring back the megadrive with fully completed games on the cartridge π. I hadn't actually realised until recently this very point you have made. I prefer physical games but it's now becoming less important win games being shipped broken π
@Pranwell Nice one. I'm contemplating the same but don't know if I'll be able to resist. Just added the 30th Portal. That will definitely get used lol.
Well, to get over the grief (joking) of not getting a 30th Edition Pro bundle I went back on after securing a 30th Controller and treated myself to the 30th Edition Portal eeeek lol. Was swithering about a Portal for a while. 30th Edition tipped me over the edge.
Managed to get a 30th Anniversary Controller. Would have taken a 30th Pro or Disc but sold out by the time I got my turn. Better than nothing I suppose. Well done to everyone who got something and commiserations to those that didn't. There's got to be a better way of doing these things.
@twitchtvpat I agree. There really is a good catalogue of games for it now especially if you haven't given it a go yet, granted not the amount of 1st party stuff i was hoping for when I bought it at launch but now more than enough to keep me busy and new stuff coming out soon or in the pipeline. PushSquare should be doing a better job sharing the positives of itπ
I'd pay Β£599 if it came with the disc drive. If that doesn't make economical sense from a business point of view then so be it. The tech costs what it costs so if I don't think the price is worth it for what we are gaining I'll happily continue with my base model. I bought the PSVR 2 because I believed the tech that it came with was worth the price. Sometimes it's not about if you can afford it, but if you think it's good value for you personally. Hope those that do think it's worth it enjoy their purchase.
@DualWielding
The saving isnt worth it imo. I'd buy a new one instead π€·ββοΈ But I do like the principle of it. Just not enough of a saving for me to consider getting a refurbished controller.
@Superstar74 Couldn't agree more. Although i have no problem if people want a Pro edition. I just want fully optimised games for my system with every last drop of available power being used.

Re: The Midnight Walk (PSVR2) - Dark, Melancholic, and Hauntingly Beautiful
This is a buy for me 100%. As others have said already, needs a patch to optomise it better for PSVR2.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
@EfYI Ah apologies. I assumed it was UK prices.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
@EfYI Don't think you'll get Β£329 for a second hand PS5 Digital Edition. A quick look on ebay would confirm this I suspect.

Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Says Sony 'Can't Get Away' with a PS6 That Has No Disc Drive
@GymratAmarillo As long as there is plenty disc drives available......which we know there won't be. Built in drive will always be my preferred option.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Says Sony 'Can't Get Away' with a PS6 That Has No Disc Drive
Sony doesn't have a great track record for supporting its optional extras or gaming peripherals π

Re: Intergalactic PS5 Is Naughty Dog's Wildest, Most Creative Story Yet
@nessisonett is really that big a deal though? If it had some generic/random name on it would it make any difference to the actual game?
