@8bitOG not claiming taxes on cash tips is a violation of filing your taxes. No auditor believes you lived off $2-5 bucks an hour as a bartender nor waiter. Again you are doom and glooming and i would prefer to talk more about video games. Cause i am happy with my country. .
@8bitOG i disagree with you, but again i have said i don’t want to overly discuss politics on a gaming site. However the tariffs are not a bad thing, way back in the day America used only tarffis and not taxes on its people. In today’s world a healthy blend of both will be good for the economy. Remember under trump the first time the USA had its best economy in 44 years. Gas food and Interest rates were at at all time low. Inflation was gone. This isn’t me saying anything other than the numbers. I am an accountant and money and numbers don’t lie or take sides. They either are or they aren’t.
@ChrisDeku considering the fraud and insane illegal activity of those workers i am all for it. We need less government not more. Especially not more that are corrupt at their jobs. This is what the American voter asked for. These were all things he ran on and we wanted. It’s nice to get what we wanted. Most say they will do something for our vote and then never do it.
China will need to comply to accepting a 15% tariff on the following items coming from America into china, Coal, Crude oil, farm equipment and vehicles. Funny how when china sends anything to the USA we pay a tariff but China don’t want to do the same. We are not a non profit country and everyone must pay there’s in order for balance and opportunities for those goods.
@ChrisDeku it’s not spin, it’s people in America get more jobs. I don’t care what politician helps it become a thing. We need more Americans working for American companies. No spin, no angle here, generally happy to see more jobs open.
@ChrisDeku China will comply. We had tariffs on China before. Again i don’t want to get to political on here tho. However Tim Cook of Apple and trump met and did a deal where Apple will be brining 20K jobs to the USA. Spending 500 Billion on American investment. That is a great thing. Proud to see more American innovation being built in the states.
@Titntin thats cool, i will have to look into that more. I do love good audio. Heck yeah if i am ever there i would love to try a beer with you. That would be so cool. Have a great day buddy. Thanks for the info. I like to learn new things to try 😊
@Titntin yeah I’m aware of the sound tech in the Sony’s but i prefer a sound system with my main TV’s for better sound. Also Samsung has a feature of using the TV’s speaker along with a Samsung soundbar for even more sound. It’s a nice added touch to the over all performance. But i am not a Samsung guy. I would like a A90K from Sony. It’s the smaller 42 inch Oled. I would like to sit super close to that for the competitive games i like to play. Then the 55 is good for single player stuff. 😊
The two leaders have already met and mostly worked out a deal, so it’s highly unlikely to affect pricing. Here’s the read for those fearing something they might not understand. In many ways tariffs are much better than taxes. Especially since America is looking to cut taxes. Not taxing overtime no more, not taxing cash tips and looking at removing income tax, that put’s much more money in your pocket. However i don’t want to get political on a site that is about video games. Enjoy the read below. 😊
@breakneck yeah i dislike Windows a lot. Again i have to use it for work. But as soon as i log off i am back to all Apple products in the house. Android is ok, if I had to have an Android i would likely get the Pixel from Google. Most TV’s today suck on sound, they are so thin that the speakers are small and on the back of the tv. So a soundbar is really needed. But yeah Samsung does have good picture quality, the S95D is stunning. But again Sony has the better processors in their high end TV’s.
@breakneck i use the Apple AirPods and AirPods Max. Well cause i am an Apple fanatic. Bought my first Mac 17 years ago and haven’t looked back. Sure my job gives me a windows Pc i have to work on, but i hate the experience. Yeah Samsung audio does nothing for me either. Sony would be my second choice for headphones if apple didn’t make the Max. Yeah the pricing on the Sony TV’s are a little more than they need to be, but remember TV’s much like consoles have razor thin profit margins. It’s about selling massive amounts. They aren’t a high margin product. Samsung just has so many models at all price points, as do LG and TCL etc etc. thats why Sony uses Google TV as its user interface. They collect your data and sell it and make more money from that then selling you the actual tv. Overall the PS business is doing well and i don’t see that changing anytime soon. Especially with GTA 6 coming out. I plan to sell my PS5 base model and upgrade to a Pro for that game alone.
@get2sammyb When i was a kid the only TV’s my dad would buy were Sony. I had a Sony Walkman and course PS1-PS5. I always like Sony products. I have a LG 55 inch Oled C3 currently cause i wanted 4 HDMI 2.1 slots and VRR. But my next TV will likely be a Sony if they add 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. The Sony A95 is still the best tv on the market and it’s a 2023 model. Happy to hear they are doing well even tho they lost a lot of market share in the TV space and headphone space. Not to mention they had to leave the Viao PC space, cause they were to stubborn on their pricing. That was the issue with Sony they would have the so called Sony Tax on all their products and the consumers didn’t see enough difference for the price and went to Samsung TV’s and other products. So you are right they indeed bleed a lot of money and had to make cuts to products and adjustments. Happy to see it is paying off and they are highly profitable again.
Also a big thanks to you and your team for starting this site and keeping it going and evolving all these years.sure some of us come here to complain from time to time. I for one don’t always love what Sony is doing or charging for PS features and games. But we all come here cause this is the best site on the internet for gaming and i say the same for Pure Xbox. Happy to be a part of it and i come to both sites multiple times a day everyday! Thanks so much!
@PegasusActual93 i have to take your word on that as I never was a soul’s player. They aren’t my games. But from what i remember of the numbers you are spot on. Elden Ring was by far the biggest seller. Sony for sure chases the money but they have to in a sense. They run thin margins and aren’t a mega wealthy company. Without PS it’s wild to think how small Sony is these day’s in consumer electronics. But every now and then they will need to give their smaller hardcore fan base a game or two to please them and not chase the money. This remake would give a lot of fan’s something to be excited about cause the PS5 has been a little dry on bangers from 1st party thus far.
@DrVenture69 Bloodborne remaster is said to be at every State of play by the hardcore fans and yet all we get is Horizon Zero Dawn and Day’s Gone, the 2 that NO ONE asked for. Seems an odd choice. Maybe one day it hit’s a show and people will be super excited. 😊
I am playing Avowed at the moment but after some more patches on this i might give it a try. I like RPG’s in the winter when i tend to stay indoors more as i hate the cold weather. I want to finish Avowed as it’s a truly special world to roam around in. Graphics are nice and the balance mode running it at 40fps seems to be its sweet spot. This game seems to be largely running great as well from the little i have heard on it.
@kedireturns Astro Bot the best game in a long time from Sony only selling 2 million copies tells me all i need to know about PS gamers buying games. Apparently not the good ones. Rockstar for optimization time never releases day and date on PC. But the PC is the better version not that translate to better sales. Cause normally it doesn’t and that part i agree with you on.
MS making back them billions one game at a time should mean we get the whole series and other lost in time Activision games. Happy to see these come back. They were some of the biggest games of their time.
@kedireturns in fairness to PC, over 70% of Black Myth Wukong was on PC and Hell divers 2 would be a small game if only on PS5. PC carried it to a megastar hit. So PC does line the pockets of dev’s, but Sony is still not quite right with its timing and coding to put massive money in their pocket yet. Keyword is yet cause i think Sony will get better on PC. The money is there and needed when done correctly.
There was some good games and i am a different type of PS user. I only come here for the exclusives. So the fact 94% of the show was multi plat games i was just so so on it. Nothing wrong with that per se, but those cancelled live service games are taking a toll on the PS5 pipeline. We last saw a small teaser of Wolverine back in 2021. Well and the leak, but that don’t count. We haven’t even seen a 20 second clip of gameplay yet. I don’t know, it’s just not exciting enough for me personally. But i know many that enjoyed the show and thats all that counts.
@magera no kidding right! I wasn’t to to surprised to see it. It’s been rumored for quite a while. I must say for all the flack leakers get for supposedly, not knowing anything , they sure do get a lot right in the end. I never played Day’s Gone and i am not sure i will bother. But for those that do i hope they enjoy it. Yeah more PS remasters!!
@Northern_munkey eh it’s not you friend, it’s me, it was early in the morning and i was upset at the state of play last night, so i am captain grouchy haha. I just wish Sony wouldn’t have wasted all that time in bad live service games. Year 5 and i still don’t use my PS much. I do like live service games and hope they continue to try but at least make good enough ones to launch and stay on the market for a year or two. Sprinkle in a few single player games and I’d be happy. Anyways hope you enjoyed the show and have a great early to mid year of games to enjoy 😃
@Decimateh-xblz anytime friend. Yeah i don’t think it will now as it’s no longer Project eve and it’s stellar Blade. But i am happy to see it hit the PC. Hopefully it will pick up some sales there and we will get a sequel for those that want it. 😃
@IOI i 100% agree, this on the show would have excited me some. I love Astro Bot. That Show was weak sauce for me. More Astro Bot is always something i would look forward to. Oh well. Maybe Sony has a June showcase this year and will focus more on in house games. Otherwise 2025 is another wasted year for me on PS5.
@LogicStrikesAgain true but then the industry has to have that same energy when games go to GP, cause it’s the same thing, it’s taking an upfront check for lost sales not being other places.
Going forward i see less and less deals like this as even Square isn’t doing single platform no more. Most dev’s now want their games everywhere. Which is good for the gamer.
Sony: heres a title we believe so little in we won’t do a sequel for, but please buy the remaster. Oh and we promise it’s not a money grab or filler cause we have no games in our pipeline.
@Northern_munkey no but it is money the dev could have had along with Xbox and PC if Project Eve didn’t get bought into a PS5 timed deal. Which i think it’s fair to say less and less dev’s want to do anymore, cause they want PC, PS, and Xbox money all upfront. This game sold around 2 million units last i seen. Could be a touch higher and i am sure by now it is. But it didn’t set the sales charts a fire. If it skipped PC i would be shocked as money was left on the table for a title that was first announced as a multi plat.
@Apollo2212 i call it the Sony Xbox 5. Cause the best games coming to it lately are from MS. Can’t wait to see the reply’s that one get’s, but in all seriousness wow man they did this gen in on those live service dud’s. Cancel cancel, release canceled in 10 days cancel cancel wait until PS6. I get it, i come here for the exclusive games. Much like Nintendo. I use Xbox or a near complete built PC for my 3rd party games. But even PS3 that started slow and 360 being my all time favorite console ever, they had GAMES, and i played them on that trash can of a six axis controller. But this gen, i like the hardware, controller is decent for Sony standards and I like the Ui. But outside of like 2 games i am sitting here saying waste of money!! For me of course, not everyone. I am thinking take my losses and go to PS6 cause it will have some games ready in that time frame. I will for sure buy it , but if they treat it like PS5, that will be my last Sony console, i will just wait to play them few exclusives on PC or miss them. I know this isn’t popular on here, but yes there are very casual PS fans here like me. Not everyone thinks their you know what don’t stink!
@MrMagic im sure you don’t, as you shouldn’t. Nor do i care that this state of play shown how lost Sony is this gen. If this was Xbox one vs PS4 show case it would be all about how 90% of the show was 3rd party. Cause Xbox has no games. Now it’s when are we (PS gamers) getting Xbox games? When you keep receipts it’s like free cloud saves the gift keeps giving. You do get free cloud cross platform saves right?
@LogicStrikesAgain couldn’t disagree with you more, ONLY that i have seen next to zero of anything you listed. Could they be great maybe! Could they be average to me like others this gen has been? Maybe, but truth is as a PS exclusive only guy, i am five years in and been underwhelmed extremely. Example, my favorite console of all time is Xbox 360 hands down. But even in a time when i am having my best console experience ever, I LOVED me some PS3 exclusives even tho playing them on that trash six axis controller was a thing. But i did cause the games were insane fun, PS4 was a little boring for me but there were games there even if not my style. PS5? I mean i love Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, beat it 3 times. But otherwise im ready to sell and wait for PS6. Happy for those that are happy but dang man, other show of games i can play on off set thumb sticks. With a few exclusives that i am just not so sure move me.
@MrMagic I’m not the problem the problem is all the good games in there are games i want to play on a controller with off set thumb sticks. I come here for the exclusives and i didn’t see much. I would agree with you there was games there if you only own a PS. But wow in year 5 we are seeing the effects ole Jimbo Ryan had on the 1st party.
@Apollo2212 Well that was a massive waste of my time.
You too huh? I am sending Sony a bill of what i make hourly cause i would have had more fun working an extra hour today. Highly unlikely they pay it, but i did include PSN 24 outage cost as well.
Jokes aside it’s good that Sony has console sales to lean on to shield them from the fact the PS5 has been their worst PS generation ever and it’s running out of time to change that. All the YouTubers and fanboys will defend Sony to the hills and back. But i am so bored with PS5 i am considering selling it for a Switch 2 and playing on that and Series X until PS6 comes out. To be noted i only play PS exclusives on my PS consoles. So all the other games I’ll play on the other box.
Between stories of denied by Sony and cancelled, i am starting to question Sony’s leadership as to how to get a game started and finished. Seems like they are turning into the GOW, Horizon and Marvel console. PS5 is such a good machine but very little for me to get excited for. I buy a PS console for their exclusives only. Welp, better luck on PS6 at this point for me.
I own a PS5 and Series X, so when one goes down i just play the other. Still stinks for those wanting to play on PS at the moment. Hope they get it back up and running well soon.
@Oram77 thats a lot of bread. But i would say at least 30. If i was another dev team i would not even try to launch my game in the same week, maybe month. They can have it. The only game i want more than GTA 6 is Gears of War E-day! This back half of the year is going to be interesting to see what comes out and when.
@Nakatomi_Uk for sure, i would like to see more competition in the GPU space. But it’s just not there. I love the AMD CPU’s but not GPU’s. We need competition in all things or it’s just free money for the other company and they don’t have to innovate or keep their pricing in check. It’s so important. 😊
I have the Sony Inzone headset and love it. I found it to be worth the money. Hope Sony keeps the Inzone line around and continue to improve it going forward. These i have never had but heard they are solid.
Please be a good Battlefield game. The industry needs it. It would make for better competition with COD. Plus BF has a decent size following when the games are good. I have my eye on this one as i am a huge shooter fan. Really want it to be good. Now if only Sony would give me Socom.
@RoomWithaMoose i am excited for Switch 2 and for sure will buy one as soon as i find one in stock. But not so sure it will be that much of the gaming space. It highly likely won’t play GTA 6 and GTA6 will be a huge portion of players for years to come when it launches. I do think MS will have a role some how. But i think PC and PS6 will do large numbers going forward along with Switch 2. Hard to tell, but PS6 could easily set the price up and not be all that much bothered. People and myself will buy it. But if they got crazy think well Xbox is gone and people that want to game on PC don’t buy consoles anyway and Switch 2 can’t run said games, they could very easily try and maximize profits.
@Anti-Matter would you also like $100 dollar copies of God of War and $1000 dollar consoles? Cause if you think that won’t be what Sony does, look no further than Nvidia vs AMD. I am no PC gamer but they are smarter in the sense they ask for AMD to stick around and compete in the higher end GPU market cause as of now Nvidia is charging and doing what they want cause they can. If you think the gaming world is worse for having Xbox in it, careful what you wish for having them out.
@IOI only Sega couldn’t find two nickels in their pockets and MS has 3 trillion dollars. I ain’t saying it’s a good idea or bad idea in this comment. I am saying if MS wants to continue to make hardware and Xbox Os for PC handhelds they can easily do that. If they don’t want to then they can let others make “Xbox” consoles and your content moves to that seeing as it’s the same just made by Dell or Asus. They have said they are continuing to make a Xbox console and even handheld. Sega didn’t and couldn’t do that. Again for this comment i am not saying i like or dislike their plans but everyone saying they are leaving hardware forgets to mention they ain’t leaving hardware.
Haha all of a sudden these Xbox one games and new current games are good? I was told as a PS and Xbox console player, that all the Xbox games sucked and weren’t worth owning. Now the floodgates are opening and wow i can’t wait to play all these games. I mean some of you and i know you won’t need to eat crow. The same way Xbox players said Death Stranding was a walking Sim and boring and it was the best selling game on Xbox when it launched. I mean come on gamers.
@RZ-Atom “Now, if only I could use an Xbox controller on PlayStation”
That would be the most Epic gaming news ever. I love PS games and all but i do not love nor really like their controllers cause of the thumb stick layout. If this became a thing, oh my! I would buy way more games on PS then have since the PS3 came out with the worst controller i ever used in my life. PS3 console was awesome, but that Six Axis. Yikes!
I didn’t buy it cause it ain’t my style of game. But i am happy for Konami cause i want them to be healthy and making games again. Someday i want a new Castlevania. Good news hope it sells another million and half in its later days with discounts and continues to make them some money.
@Intr1n5ic i openly discuss what game i am playing on what platform. Every one on Pure knows i was having a blast with Astro Bot. Still a little mad that didn’t hit 5 million in sales or more, but is what it is. I hope Sony gives us a Jak and Dexter on that scale. I would eat that up as well. Imagine how good that would look? There was an article on here saying Sony is revisiting idea’s from legacy games. That could be good.

@Northern_munkey eh it’s not you friend, it’s me, it was early in the morning and i was upset at the state of play last night, so i am captain grouchy haha. I just wish Sony wouldn’t have wasted all that time in bad live service games. Year 5 and i still don’t use my PS much. I do like live service games and hope they continue to try but at least make good enough ones to launch and stay on the market for a year or two. Sprinkle in a few single player games and I’d be happy. Anyways hope you enjoyed the show and have a great early to mid year of games to enjoy 😃
Re: Sony Will Publish PS5 Fan Favourite Stellar Blade on PC
@Decimateh-xblz anytime friend. Yeah i don’t think it will now as it’s no longer Project eve and it’s stellar Blade. But i am happy to see it hit the PC. Hopefully it will pick up some sales there and we will get a sequel for those that want it. 😃
Re: 5 More Astro Bot PS5 Levels Coming for Free, First Is Out Today
@IOI i 100% agree, this on the show would have excited me some. I love Astro Bot. That Show was weak sauce for me. More Astro Bot is always something i would look forward to. Oh well. Maybe Sony has a June showcase this year and will focus more on in house games. Otherwise 2025 is another wasted year for me on PS5.
Re: Sony Will Publish PS5 Fan Favourite Stellar Blade on PC
@Decimateh-xblz Stellar Blade was Project Eve and announced as a multi platform title.
Re: Sony Will Publish PS5 Fan Favourite Stellar Blade on PC
@LogicStrikesAgain true but then the industry has to have that same energy when games go to GP, cause it’s the same thing, it’s taking an upfront check for lost sales not being other places.
Going forward i see less and less deals like this as even Square isn’t doing single platform no more. Most dev’s now want their games everywhere. Which is good for the gamer.
Re: PS Plus Copies of Days Gone Won't Offer Cheap $10 Upgrade to New PS5 Version
Sony: heres a title we believe so little in we won’t do a sequel for, but please buy the remaster. Oh and we promise it’s not a money grab or filler cause we have no games in our pipeline.
Re: Sony Will Publish PS5 Fan Favourite Stellar Blade on PC
@Northern_munkey no but it is money the dev could have had along with Xbox and PC if Project Eve didn’t get bought into a PS5 timed deal. Which i think it’s fair to say less and less dev’s want to do anymore, cause they want PC, PS, and Xbox money all upfront. This game sold around 2 million units last i seen. Could be a touch higher and i am sure by now it is. But it didn’t set the sales charts a fire. If it skipped PC i would be shocked as money was left on the table for a title that was first announced as a multi plat.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
@Apollo2212 i call it the Sony Xbox 5. Cause the best games coming to it lately are from MS. Can’t wait to see the reply’s that one get’s, but in all seriousness wow man they did this gen in on those live service dud’s. Cancel cancel, release canceled in 10 days cancel cancel wait until PS6. I get it, i come here for the exclusive games. Much like Nintendo. I use Xbox or a near complete built PC for my 3rd party games. But even PS3 that started slow and 360 being my all time favorite console ever, they had GAMES, and i played them on that trash can of a six axis controller. But this gen, i like the hardware, controller is decent for Sony standards and I like the Ui. But outside of like 2 games i am sitting here saying waste of money!! For me of course, not everyone. I am thinking take my losses and go to PS6 cause it will have some games ready in that time frame. I will for sure buy it , but if they treat it like PS5, that will be my last Sony console, i will just wait to play them few exclusives on PC or miss them. I know this isn’t popular on here, but yes there are very casual PS fans here like me. Not everyone thinks their you know what don’t stink!
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
@MrMagic im sure you don’t, as you shouldn’t. Nor do i care that this state of play shown how lost Sony is this gen. If this was Xbox one vs PS4 show case it would be all about how 90% of the show was 3rd party. Cause Xbox has no games. Now it’s when are we (PS gamers) getting Xbox games? When you keep receipts it’s like free cloud saves the gift keeps giving. You do get free cloud cross platform saves right?
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
@LogicStrikesAgain couldn’t disagree with you more, ONLY that i have seen next to zero of anything you listed. Could they be great maybe! Could they be average to me like others this gen has been? Maybe, but truth is as a PS exclusive only guy, i am five years in and been underwhelmed extremely. Example, my favorite console of all time is Xbox 360 hands down. But even in a time when i am having my best console experience ever, I LOVED me some PS3 exclusives even tho playing them on that trash six axis controller was a thing. But i did cause the games were insane fun, PS4 was a little boring for me but there were games there even if not my style. PS5? I mean i love Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, beat it 3 times. But otherwise im ready to sell and wait for PS6. Happy for those that are happy but dang man, other show of games i can play on off set thumb sticks. With a few exclusives that i am just not so sure move me.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
@MrMagic I’m not the problem the problem is all the good games in there are games i want to play on a controller with off set thumb sticks. I come here for the exclusives and i didn’t see much. I would agree with you there was games there if you only own a PS. But wow in year 5 we are seeing the effects ole Jimbo Ryan had on the 1st party.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
@Apollo2212 Well that was a massive waste of my time.
You too huh? I am sending Sony a bill of what i make hourly cause i would have had more fun working an extra hour today. Highly unlikely they pay it, but i did include PSN 24 outage cost as well.
Jokes aside it’s good that Sony has console sales to lean on to shield them from the fact the PS5 has been their worst PS generation ever and it’s running out of time to change that. All the YouTubers and fanboys will defend Sony to the hills and back. But i am so bored with PS5 i am considering selling it for a Switch 2 and playing on that and Series X until PS6 comes out. To be noted i only play PS exclusives on my PS consoles. So all the other games I’ll play on the other box.
Re: Sony Will Bundle PS5 with 2024's GOTY, Says New Report
Thats one way to get the game into more hands. Cause it didn’t set the sales chart on fire, but man is it ever a well made and fun to play game.
Re: Xbox Game Hellblade 2 Might Be Out for PS5 'Very Soon'
Great 2 walking Sim’s on the way. Can’t wait!
Re: The Order: 1886 Dev Pitched a Sequel to Sony, But Was Denied
Between stories of denied by Sony and cancelled, i am starting to question Sony’s leadership as to how to get a game started and finished. Seems like they are turning into the GOW, Horizon and Marvel console. PS5 is such a good machine but very little for me to get excited for. I buy a PS console for their exclusives only. Welp, better luck on PS6 at this point for me.
Re: PSN Down as PS5, PS4 Players Can't Log In or Play Online
I own a PS5 and Series X, so when one goes down i just play the other. Still stinks for those wanting to play on PS at the moment. Hope they get it back up and running well soon.
Re: GTA 6 Publisher Reiterates a Fall 2025 Release Window
@Oram77 thats a lot of bread. But i would say at least 30. If i was another dev team i would not even try to launch my game in the same week, maybe month. They can have it. The only game i want more than GTA 6 is Gears of War E-day! This back half of the year is going to be interesting to see what comes out and when.
Re: GTA 6 Publisher Reiterates a Fall 2025 Release Window
I can’t even imagine how many copies will sell in just 24 hours.
Re: How Well Do You Know Ratchet & Clank?
I know it’s still my favorite PS5 exclusive. I beat Rift Apart 3 times.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaked on PS Store
Been waiting on this one. Which it was a little sooner, but glad they are taking their time also. Should be good! SNAAAAAAAKE!
Re: Ex-Sony Boss Says Xbox Can Find Multiplatform Software Success, Just Like SEGA
@Nakatomi_Uk for sure, i would like to see more competition in the GPU space. But it’s just not there. I love the AMD CPU’s but not GPU’s. We need competition in all things or it’s just free money for the other company and they don’t have to innovate or keep their pricing in check. It’s so important. 😊
Re: Best PS5 Headsets in 2025 - Enhance Your Audio Experience
@DrVenture69 yeah so far mine has held up. But i don’t use them all the time. Agreed on the 3.5. Otherwise i really like them.
Re: Best PS5 Headsets in 2025 - Enhance Your Audio Experience
I have the Sony Inzone headset and love it. I found it to be worth the money. Hope Sony keeps the Inzone line around and continue to improve it going forward. These i have never had but heard they are solid.
Re: Battlefield Labs Leaks, a New Test for Next Battlefield Game
Please be a good Battlefield game. The industry needs it. It would make for better competition with COD. Plus BF has a decent size following when the games are good. I have my eye on this one as i am a huge shooter fan. Really want it to be good. Now if only Sony would give me Socom.
Re: Ex-Sony Boss Says Xbox Can Find Multiplatform Software Success, Just Like SEGA
@RoomWithaMoose i am excited for Switch 2 and for sure will buy one as soon as i find one in stock. But not so sure it will be that much of the gaming space. It highly likely won’t play GTA 6 and GTA6 will be a huge portion of players for years to come when it launches. I do think MS will have a role some how. But i think PC and PS6 will do large numbers going forward along with Switch 2. Hard to tell, but PS6 could easily set the price up and not be all that much bothered. People and myself will buy it. But if they got crazy think well Xbox is gone and people that want to game on PC don’t buy consoles anyway and Switch 2 can’t run said games, they could very easily try and maximize profits.
Re: Ex-Sony Boss Says Xbox Can Find Multiplatform Software Success, Just Like SEGA
@Anti-Matter would you also like $100 dollar copies of God of War and $1000 dollar consoles? Cause if you think that won’t be what Sony does, look no further than Nvidia vs AMD. I am no PC gamer but they are smarter in the sense they ask for AMD to stick around and compete in the higher end GPU market cause as of now Nvidia is charging and doing what they want cause they can. If you think the gaming world is worse for having Xbox in it, careful what you wish for having them out.
Re: Ex-Sony Boss Says Xbox Can Find Multiplatform Software Success, Just Like SEGA
@IOI only Sega couldn’t find two nickels in their pockets and MS has 3 trillion dollars. I ain’t saying it’s a good idea or bad idea in this comment. I am saying if MS wants to continue to make hardware and Xbox Os for PC handhelds they can easily do that. If they don’t want to then they can let others make “Xbox” consoles and your content moves to that seeing as it’s the same just made by Dell or Asus. They have said they are continuing to make a Xbox console and even handheld. Sega didn’t and couldn’t do that. Again for this comment i am not saying i like or dislike their plans but everyone saying they are leaving hardware forgets to mention they ain’t leaving hardware.
Re: Rumour: Xbox's Fable, Killer Instinct, More to Join Forza Horizon 5 on PS5
Haha all of a sudden these Xbox one games and new current games are good? I was told as a PS and Xbox console player, that all the Xbox games sucked and weren’t worth owning. Now the floodgates are opening and wow i can’t wait to play all these games. I mean some of you and i know you won’t need to eat crow. The same way Xbox players said Death Stranding was a walking Sim and boring and it was the best selling game on Xbox when it launched. I mean come on gamers.
Re: Xbox Was December's Biggest Publisher, and 64% of Its Sales Were on PS5, PS4
@RZ-Atom “Now, if only I could use an Xbox controller on PlayStation”
That would be the most Epic gaming news ever. I love PS games and all but i do not love nor really like their controllers cause of the thumb stick layout. If this became a thing, oh my! I would buy way more games on PS then have since the PS3 came out with the worst controller i ever used in my life. PS3 console was awesome, but that Six Axis. Yikes!
Re: Silent Hill 2 Has Been Massively Successful on PS5, PC
I didn’t buy it cause it ain’t my style of game. But i am happy for Konami cause i want them to be healthy and making games again. Someday i want a new Castlevania. Good news hope it sells another million and half in its later days with discounts and continues to make them some money.
Re: Ninja Gaiden 4 Announced, Slashes to PS5 This Year with PlatinumGames Co-Developing
@Intr1n5ic i openly discuss what game i am playing on what platform. Every one on Pure knows i was having a blast with Astro Bot. Still a little mad that didn’t hit 5 million in sales or more, but is what it is. I hope Sony gives us a Jak and Dexter on that scale. I would eat that up as well. Imagine how good that would look? There was an article on here saying Sony is revisiting idea’s from legacy games. That could be good.
