Great that’s made me want to purchase. Last physical was The Precinct, which can with a bunch of stuff. Metal case and a sew on cop badge. It’s good to keep a bit of physical history and I can sell it on if I like.
Purchased at launch out of curiosity. I’d firstly say that the vm is jaw dropping if you’ve never seen it in action .before. Niece and nephew really enjoyed it (under supervision).
Going forward I don’t really use it and it’s on my list of things to sell. I think there are good games out for it, I just don’t have the time and it also get motion sickness.
Finally I don’t like not being able to see the real world once I have the headset on.
All in all I thought it a good addition and support ps for trying something new, though they should have supported more games. I’ve got the money to waste on trying, so don’t mind taking a loss when I sell it.
Must have been having a break from my pc years and missed this. Really enjoying it. They should really port over the remastered C&C as that was fantastic too. I nearly flunked my 1st year because of that game, many decades ago 😊
@Vectrex A step in the right direction definitely, though I’d like a couple of days. I’d say 60%+ of my games I don’t end up playing . I’m an old guy & it’s mainly due to time. I tend to pass the games on to my nephew & let him play or sell.
I can see a lot of comments are happy with digital only. I can understand some of the reasons, but I much prefer physical. I sell 60% + of my games and pass them on. Why would you be happy to not have this option?
I’ll never forget coming back from holiday and seeing final fight running on the snes at my games store. That’s the first time I said to myself that’s just like the arcade and foamed at the mouth. Apart from the neo geo snes was the best console around by far. I always want a perfect outrun on console which helps too.
Biggest woes of the controllers is the stick drift. I’m already two controllers down and I’m a light player. Almost a decade of the issue now and no plan of a fix.
@get2sammyb I’m all for buying the outrun port they did for the switch. It tops the straight arcade port @ 60fps. I love to buy that for the PS, just to leave the music blasting out and me of the arcade days 😃
All depends how old you are. I specifically remember the snes pulling in all my friends who never cared about gaming. SF2 and Mario cart being the pull. The SNES was imo the best console of all time
5 days compensation. I would have much preferred timely updates as to what is going on and an eta of fix. Saturday is my gaming day - i could have planned around it if you let us have a rough guid of the issue and fix timelines. My biggest with PS is the stick drift. Defo thinking about buying a gaming PC soon.
I wan5 to enjoy these types of games, but just can’t get into the. I can’t help but click through the dialogue, which is endless. Gratz to winning and glad the players enjoy it.
@Keyblade-Dan 100% - it’s a total money drain. Next thing you realise is you have a ton of micro subscriptions draining your income every month. Buy a game own it, preferably physical but I would understand why people like digital.
As a young guy I could sometimes never sleep thinking about my spectrum 48k games. 40 years later I don’t think gaming has ever been better……you lucky g1ts. 😄
Just cancelled my order on that news (was a knee jerk pre order anyway). Unless the law changes that the digital ownership is 100% yours, I’m avoiding digital purchases. It’s also handy to sell games on that I didn’t enjoy, which is about 40%. will still purchase the odd Indy as digital.
@Shepherd_Tallon . Haha that’s me too. Would love to play a bunch of horror , but t can’t deal with horror. That plus I live in a 300 year old cottage in the middle of nowhere. What a sap I am
Just to note California passed a law to prevent “buy it now” or “purchase “ as you do not own the game. I have a handful of digital games, but owning the physical is by far better for your own purchase protection.
I pay for a few Indy ganes as digital only , but a majority of my games are physical. Digital only I pass on . There is so much choice in games I don’t miss out.

Re: Poor Showing for DOOM: The Dark Ages on PS5 Pro
I’ve held back on my purchase. Not the blockbuster I was hoping for. I have such a backlog to play anyway.
Perhaps a revisit after a few patches

Re: Preview: Arc Raiders Could Be the Definitive Extraction Shooter on PS5
@SteveJaye I’m hoping for the same. I loved division as I could mess around in single player and then seamlessly glide into multiplayer .

Re: Embattled US Retailer Trolls Customers for Picking Digital During PSN Outage on PS5, PS4
It’s not just for collecting. I’d say 40-50% of games just don’t grab me after a play. I can stick them on eBay and get some of my money back.
