If you have a looksee at the small print on the PSN black friday sale preview page it says
"PlayStation Store’s Black Friday Promotion begins November 4 at 00:00 AM PST/GMT/JST and refreshes at 00:00 AM PST/GMT/JST on November 16. PlayStation Store’s Black Friday Promotion ends 30 November at 23:59 PM PST/GMT/JST. Certain discounts will end on November 20 at 23:59 PM PST/GMT/JST, before the promotion finishes, and some deals will be replaced with new offers, so please check the item’s product page for more details. "

I've seen them do this many times before, put the deluxe editions on sale first and then the regular versions straight after to catch any fish that didn't bite the first time.
16th to 20th November is the day to decide as 16/11 the store refreshes and 20th certain discounts will end.

Keep your powder dry and only fire when you see the whites of their eyes!!!

I'm not partial to pre-ordereing or day-oneing games (Resident Evil is my exception to this rule).

However I did get Ace Combat 8 as I wanted the remake of Ace Combat Zero that apparently was only to be available as a preorder bonus. I got stung similarly by not pre-ordering Ace Combat 7 which had a bonus of Ace Combat 5.

I would strenuosly suggest people wait until first price reduction to get a new game these days, Day 1 purchases are not only expensive but you are basically being treated as a beta tester now, with inevitable patches being released to tighten everything up. Most games probably have most corrections done by first digital sale.
E.G. Crimson Desert, or an even more extreme example being Cyberpunk 2077.

Surely it's got to be a decent port or remake of the first 2 to the PS5?
Switch got a decent port so bring it over, would buy again in a snap!
(starts charging Beam Katana)

Helix is not going to sell except to the xbox faithful as people are far too invested in their digital platforms these days. Getting a PS owner to swap to xbox is like trying to get an iPhone owner to swap to android, unlikely.
And the cost of next gen consoles means most people who buy them will only afford one, which is going to be the follow up to their current one.

Xbox should just forget about exclusives now and focus on survival as they are pretty much a dead platform now and will only die harder.

@Czar_Khastik
Surely it'll be time for a remake of RE: Requiem by then?

@GirlVersusGame
And then Super Ghouls n' Ghosts was the rock hard sequel after that which was a SNES exclusive.
Be nice to play that one ne again without the slowdown.

Capcom have got a really nice engine with the RE Engine that seems to allow them to really get on and make great games, I believe this is the secret sauce.

Reqiurn GOTY for me so far.

Not a soulslike?

The combat does sound an awful lot like Sekiro though, which is no bad thing.

Will he buying but will probably wait for the inevitable QoL patch to arrive first.

Oh dear, the physical games brigade are complaining that they can't use their discs on a nail broken Ps5!!!

Oh the irony!!!

I am so close to picking this up, still play Point of Impact.

Needs a 50% discount for me to bite.

Ubisoft usually pretty fast with their discounts too, what's going on!!!

Does it still have quick-scoping? If so then another pass from me, I hate that.

I'll go look up some old booster justice youtube videos instead (again).

I just wept a little bit, brings back fond memories of playing the original trilogy on the 360.

Maybe time for a replay in honour of it's cancellation.

Don't suppose it's got that new QSSR implemented for base PS5?

Doesn't look like Joey Essex anymore.

@seinfeldfanatic
It's a banger, but I'm afraid it's not a easy banger.
Just consider the starting area as a tutorial (as effectively that's what it is) and enjoy one of the genuine PS4 masterpieces.
Such a shame no ps5 patch at least.

But does it actually go faster?

Gamepass hollowed out the Xbox brand as simple as that.

It ate it from the inside out and all that is left now is a shell.

It's a bit sad really, I bet Phil Spencer still sleeps like a baby too.

@BonezKnowz
However Robocop: Rogue City - Alex Murphy Edition IS £3.99!!!

It should have really been priced at 'A Dollar' though to encourage people to buy it.

I'll wait a while and go for the PS4 owner buying on sale at 90%.

Could be a while but I've managed to survive without playing it for 12 years, so I can wait a bit longer.

AI and Fortnite

I don't think I can think of a more perfect pairing.

Cmon everyone, it's called 'Super Intelligence' now.

Get with the programme!!!

@Bizzy
Terms and conditions!!

25kb text file on the disc.

It'll be coming to PS5 and that's the bottom line.

Because Stone Cold said so.

This weekend, Isshin the Sword Saint is going down!

So not played the base version as heard some divisive opinions at the time and so it got lost in the pile. Is base version much improved now performance and gameplay wise?

@Atreus97

BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!!!

It's OK, it's not everyone's cup of vileblood.

@Atreus97

Don't forget Bloodborne!!! (can already be run at 60fps on a JB PS5 apparently)

Makes me want to repaste again my wish for a SEGA collection similar to the ATARI 50, with all the arcade games wrapped up with histories and fascinating tidbits.

The dream continues...

I watched a YouTube the other day (research purposes only, far too chicken to risk it), it's incredibly easy!!

I was expecting at least a mod chip but no, just a few changes to DNS settings and a sneaky trick via the user guide and boom, the kernel opens up like a cracked nut.

I guess this is the nuclear response to the discless society, digital piracy running rampant (as already seen in the PC community).

Bottom touching!!!

Fnarrr, fnarrr!!!

Now that's what I call Cloud Computing!!!

"We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday

Kaiser Chiefs, 2007

I'm getting slow loading, terrible frame rates, bad resolution and terrible game breaking bugs.

I'm playing the original disk release on a base PS4.

Just need one more Gwent card for the trophy but need to level up before I can beat that guy in The Passiflora. Glad saves are transferred as I last played it a few years ago when the first ps5 version was released.

Let's also remember this is not about targeting the collector's, there's plenty of collector editions coming in the future if that's your jam (£400 GTA6 being a great example).
It's the second hand market this is targeting, no more reselling on eBay once finishing a game.
The real collectors wouldn't do that as they enjoy seeing the box on the shelf regardless of whether they've platinumed the game or not.
Which also begs the question, what's really the difference between a code on a disc or a code on a piece of cardboard in a box?
(Unless you are not a collector and planning to resell?)

Yep, this is the one I've been waiting for, very pleased to hear it's not a disappointment.

Fingers crossed for PSVR2 patch!

All of those preorders showing heavy investment in the PS5 and potentially PS6 digital platform / ecosystems.

I'm fully expecting a PS6 'ultimate' version with a £20 upgrade path btw.

@GuttyYZ
Indeed , I was going to comment on the irony of the name.

Call of Halo!!

Activison + Halo Studios
Turn10 + Playground
Obsidian + Bethesda

It's almost like some sort of committee of bean counters so some 'synergies' and went chop, chop, chop....MERGE!!!!
(Huge bonus' guaranteed for making such strategic decisions, well done Senior Management - have an extra years subscription to the country club).

At this rate Physint will be their only game!!

What a perfect collaboration!

So is the an 'Control Ashtray Maze' or AW2 'We Sing' levels? I do hope so!

So the way to make a good Resident Evil movie is....
Don't make it a Resident Evil movie!!!!

Who knew!

Oh I love Bayonetta!!!
Great game (only played the first one, haven't got a Switch) and she's awesome!

Errmm, and the point of this story is??

Regardless, it's very trendy at the moment got Sony bashing so I'm not surprised people are running it down and jumping on the bandwagon before it's even released.

Well I could understand why they wanted to pursue live service games, as there's a golden goose there to be found.

I can understand the dropping of physical media for digital, as that's probably where the future lies.

But to cancel a Hideo Kojima exclusive 'tactical espionage' game is just madness. It's a system seller for sure.

What the hell is going on in their heads?

X & 3 are the best ones

Surely this is nonsense, do devs really prepare the achievements this early in game development.
I thought Persona 6 would be 2028 at the earliest!
