@Tharsman yeah I agree.. who was even asking for a streaming device, either they should have made somthing that can natively play games, or just not bothered at all
I think Playstation is just generally seen as 'cooler' than Xbox, as more people (famous and non famous) buy them, other people just copy.. games alone can't change that, it's just how it is currently... a bit like how iPhone is just assumed to be cooler, even though Samsung phones (it can be argued!) have much better tech
literally everyone I know who plays this plays it on PlayStation... US games journalists seem to be the only people unaware of how popular the PS platform is worldwide
I was addicted to FUT (not Fifa point thankfully!). I'm all for anything that helps destroy this monster.. such an uneven playing field, all these people with high disposable income don't think twice about spending thousands on packs, which encourages other to waste money that they shouldn't.. maybe better to sell cards directly like this!
70 dollars is too high for most people anyway, by making it 70 GBP as well they are basically taking the piss, it's what Apple do.. I'm sure some will buy it but I expect the majority of people will wait for a discount
the game reviewer is reweiwing their overall experience with the game, right? bugs and glitches etc are obviously a part of that but they are not the only factor in a game review
so... are people moaning about not being able to ‘pre-load’ earlier?... what difference does it make if you can’t play the game until release, not as if its gonna take 2 days to download it or anything
cool... I played that other game of theirs Twin Breaker the other day for thi first time... I was just expecting a typical boring game but it was very innovative and fun... definately gonna try Habroxia too
so many people getting ready to play this on either gamepass, PC or switch rather than Ps... Sony not giving people what they want by ignoring any portable system option amongst other things
at those crazy prices I was temped to sell our newly arrived PS5, but my kid was so looking forward to it I decided not to.. you could probably get a PS5 for free if you sold and bought again when there was more stock!
supplies of tech products will be limited for a while... companies and retailers need to work towards preventing people buying multiple items - maybe one purchase per payment method or something, anything to give the average person a chance of buying one
it's not really a big problem or anything, it's just all the early review people kept saying its whisper quiet - they should have clarified that's when you're not doing anything on it!... overall it's an amazing device, especially the controller
It must suck not being able to get hold of one, especaially when you see all the marketing Sony are doing, crazily promoting a product that no one can even buy!
My PS5 sounds just like the PS4, apart from the crazy jet engine sounds when you get into some games... but give it time I’m sure that will come in a year or two! The ‘silent’ noise thing may be a myth, but Xbox somehow manage to make totally silent consoles
let the people who want to pay it pay it I guess... I can't justify full price games even now, haha... but that's cool, I can always wait for sales.. it's just a shame that games that have microtransactions can make so much more money than those that don't - the PlayStation AAA games generally don't, so its fair enough to charge higher for them, I'm sure the cost of making them must have risen a lot during the years
The newer PS4 controllers seem to be pretty poor quality build wise, Ive had a couple just develop faults after just a couple of weeks.. the older ones lasted much longer
very much doubt the career mode changes will amount to much.. their main focus will be on how to entice the Ultimate Team players into buying more Fifa points... that mode really should be free to play
With the Last of Us and Ghost of Tshushima coming to PS4, I can see people delaying the purchase of the PS5.. maybe readers of this site will think otherwise but Sony are doing a pretty bad job of marketing the new console. Obviously it’s still gonna sell very well, Playstation is such a huge brand worldwide in comparison to Xbox
Microsoft (in his mind) has moved to a different space.. that's fine.. Sony should stick to what they do best, you can be successful without turning everything into the cloud - Nintendo is happy to do what they do.. you don't have to follow everyone. By all means give people options, but focus on what you are good at Sony!

Re: Two Point Campus Leaks, from the Team Behind Two Point Hospital

Re: Sony Removes Cyberpunk 2077 from PS Store, Pledges Refunds for All PS Store Purchases
what happens with the disc version? can people buy that to play on PS5?
Re: Sony Removes Cyberpunk 2077 from PS Store, Pledges Refunds for All PS Store Purchases
these guys threw Sony under the bus with that statement, so I guess something had to give... I bet physical copies become hot ticket items now

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 PlayStation Preload Begins 8th December
have they even given timescales for a PS5 update, or what it will entail?... could be waiting a while for that!
I hope they add a 3rd person mode (like a reverse GTA5!) in a future version
