@Ilyn Well, your formula is just a £15 difference. Purchasing a console now at that price (along with all the detached components, adding another hassle) is definitely not better than having gotten an all-in-one package at launch or before July 2022 at £450, especially considering that's between 3 and 4½ years of actually having a PS5 and using it.
Disagree, the best time to buy a PS5 was between November 2020 and July 2022, when a mere £450 got you a console with an actual disc drive AND console stand, both of which are now sold separately along with a much higher-priced console
Used it all the time, and must have gotten over £50 back in credit. Massive dick move to get rid of it, but it's yet another method of enshitification, this is pretty much Sony's equivalent to the elimination of Nintendo's Gold Points.
@HOWARDSROCK Thanks for the reply. What you said is very encouraging. I'll be joining you soon if this trend carries on, which will definitely happen...
Grandia HD Collection, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster, Lunar Remastered Collection, Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster, and Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake... made me realise that I actually prefer old RPGs to modern ones. Glad to see these old but gold games coming back and doing well. Fingers crossed for more collections like Breath of Fire and Skies of Arcadia.
I wish there was a full list of former Switch-exclusives that made their way to PlayStation later on somewhere, I can only think of a few like Panzer Dragoon Remake, Master Detective Archives Rain Code, and Disney Illusion Island...
@Member_the_game You've pretty much summed it up. Nintendo consoles are for their exclusive franchises: Bayonetta, Famicom Detective Club, Fire Emblem, Metroid, Pokemon, Splatoon, Zelda, etc...
@nessisonett As much as I like Trails, there's just way too much creepy stuff in this series Estelle-Joshua, Tita-Agate as you mentioned, Elise-Rean, Angelica-any girl
No physical, no buy. Driveclub, one of the best racing games ever, is still playable thanks to physical copies being available on the second-hand market. This won't be the case for FH5.

Re: Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land (PS5) - Relentlessly Charming JRPG Is a Must Play
Were it 9/10 or 10/10, yes, but since when is a 8/10-rated game a "must play"???
