Once Nintendo revealed $80 games, pandora's box has been opened.
It won't stay at $80 and will likely go up. GTA 6 is almost certainly $80-100 now. Sony won't leave money on the table when all its competitors have already raised prices.
This guarantees I'm relying on PS Plus / Gamepass for my gaming needs. $80+ for a game is hard to justify with the cost of everything else gone up drastically.
If you don't have shares in Take Two interactive this year, you are missing out on a great opportunity. Went up nearly 13% yesterday with all this news and when the GTA 6 release date is said, it will increase and when it actually releases, you will be thanking yourself.
Sony will naturally spin it to make Herman look good but he has been at the forefront of a number of major failures recently and there had to be consequences for that.

Re: Unsurprisingly, Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Future May Not Be PS5 Exclusive
Exclusivity is no longer profitable for anyone.
Those days are done.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War: Reloaded May Be Getting a Physical PS5 Release, No Word on Xbox
Physical always if available
Re: GTA 6's PS5 Open World Looks Like Rockstar's Best Ever

May 15
TTWO Earnings call.
Re: Halo the Final PS5 Holdout of Xbox's Historic Big Three
Halo on Playstation will be surreal to see.
I'll definitely get it and Gears Of War and then sell my Series S (Only reason I got it was for Gears & Halo)
Re: Gears of War: Reloaded Remasters the Original Game This August, Confirmed for PS5
Day 1 Purchase.
I love Gears Of War.

Re: GTA 6 Release Date Has Nothing to Do with Borderlands 4 Change
@Jacko11
Don't believe him for a second either.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 DLC Is on the Cards After Positive Reception
Pleasantly shocked with the game. Definitely getting the DLC if they release it.
Re: Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 Already Looks Like a Gigantic Hit on PS5
Loved Forza on Xbox, this is the best racer of the gen and PS Users will realise this eventually.
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Is the Fastest Selling Game in the Series, Now at 10 Million
@DiggleDog
RGG Studios too.
Like A Dragon
Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth
Like A Dragon Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii
3 Quality AAA games within 4 years is unheard of these days.
Re: State of Play Set for Wednesday, 20 Minutes of Borderlands 4 Gameplay
TTWO Earnings Call is May 15-16 so we will know if GTA 6 is delayed soon.
Re: PS5 RPG Expedition 33 Has Some of the Highest User Ratings Ever
Playing on Gamepass and I'm surprised how amazing it is. Had me stop playing anything else and the parrying and dodging is sooooo satisfying!
Love the story so far too
Re: Marathon a 'Premium', Paid for Game on PS5, But It's Not $70
Concord 2 has arrived
Re: The Last of Us Has Been Released on PS5 Again, with a New Physical Collector's Edition Coming in July
You can get both seperately for way cheaper. Heck Part 1 is on PS Plus right now.
Re: The Last of Us Complete Out Today at $99.99 on PS5, Physical Collector's Edition Drops in July
Part 1 is on PS Plus Premium and you can get Part 2 for dirt cheap used these days.
Heck you could get the PS4 version for under £5 these days.
Paying $100 is only for collectors or uber fans
Re: Poll: 5 Years Later, How Do You Feel About Final Fantasy 7 Remake?
@IOI
Agreed. I became addicted to Queen's Blood and I rarely replay games but was happy to do so for these games as the combat is insanely fun
Re: Yakuza 0's Director's Cut Has 26 Minutes of Extra Cutscenes PS5, PS4 Fans Will Want to See
Will watch the 24 mins on youtube. Yakuza 0 is a 100 hour game, as an adult I can't justify replaying all that for 24 mins
Re: Round Up: The Last of Us 2's TV Show Reviews Aren't Quite a Hole in One for Sony, HBO
Sounds like it isn't the "hole in one" HBO was hoping for⛳️
Re: Minecraft Movie Obliterates Box Office Records as Jack Black Flick Goes Viral
Wow $310M in a weekend is insane.
Will likely pass 1 Bill within a few weeks. A sequel is a certainty
Re: PlayStation Is Dying to Know What You Think of Nintendo Switch 2 in Player Survey
Loved the presentation until the price reveals.
I'd simply stick to PS Plus for new games. I already barely get games brand new and these new prices would guarantee I wait for deep sales .
3 games costing nearly £240. Madness
Re: The Best Yakuza Game's Getting a Director's Cut, And It Could Come to PS5 and PS4 Later
Loved Yakuza 0 so much but dont need to buy this. I'll watch the extra scenes online and that will be that
Re: Nintendo Is Raising the Price of Games with Switch 2
GTA 6 is certainly $90-100 now. The floodgates have been opened.
Re: PS6 Can't Rely on Cutting-Edge Graphics, Sony Must 'Change Its Way of Thinking'
Well said.
Most casual gamers i know are content with the graphics from PS4 and play games that don't even push graphics.
Performance
Load times
Storage
That should be prioritized at this point. How much better will 8K be to 4K comparing with the jump from 2D to 3D or SD to HD
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Thoughts on Potential $80 PS5 Games?
The industry has been given the greenlight to increase prices to $90/£90 now.
I can't justify that. I'll stick to PS Plus games and buy the odd game day 1 like GTA 6 and sell it once i beat the story to recoup some costs.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for March 2025?
@LogicStrikesAgain
Well said. Deliberately not starting a new game until Tuesday in anticipation for it
Re: Sony Banned Jonah Hill from Playing PlayStation in Superbad
I Am McLovin!
SuperBad is easily one of the best teenage movies ever
Re: Rumour: Gears of War Collection Will Be Revealed for PS5 This Summer
Gears Of War is why i ended up getting my first xbox (series)
Love the franchise and would definitely double dip
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for March 2025 Announced
Veilguard had to have flopped insanely hard to be on the cheapest PS Plus tier after FOUR MONTHS?!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?
12 hours in and still on Chapter 2🤣 Love this franchise
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5) - Madcap Majima Does the Job

Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5) - Madcap Majima Does the Job
Bought from Currys and expecting it Friday so I can play all weekend
Re: PS Plus Copies of Days Gone Won't Offer Cheap $10 Upgrade to New PS5 Version
Loved Days Gone but not paying £50 to play it again.
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii PS5 Demo Available Now
Not downloading.
Buying it Day 1 to go in completely blind.
Re: Days Gone Remastered Is Real, Out for PS5 This April
This gen is just remaster after remaster
Re: State of Play Confirmed for Wednesday, 40+ Minutes of PS5 News and Updates
Gears Of War Or Halo will be announced.

Same
Re: PSN Finally Back Online, But Some Problems Persist After Biggest Outage Since 2011
This is the all digital future. Absolute nonsense and waste of my day off.
Re: GTA 5 Sells an Utterly Ludicrous 210 Million Copies
If you don't have shares in Take Two interactive this year, you are missing out on a great opportunity. Went up nearly 13% yesterday with all this news and when the GTA 6 release date is said, it will increase and when it actually releases, you will be thanking yourself.
Re: PSN Down as PS5, PS4 Players Can't Log In or Play Online
Bruh. My day off and this is offline. UK
Re: Shocking: Square Enix Says Dragon Quest 3 Remake Sales Actually Exceeded Expectations
Is it April Fools?
Re: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Story Trailer Sets the Scene for Crazy Side Game
Day 1 Purchase and I am very excited!
Re: GTA 6 Publisher Reiterates a Fall 2025 Release Window
Will believe it when I see it.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Failed Because It Wasn't Live Service, EA CEO Seems to Suggest
With leadership like this, I have close to zero expectations for the new Mass Effect.
What an absolutely out of touch comment.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Immediately Sells 1 Million Copies
Going to get the first one on PS Store for £6 and see If its worth the hype now.
Re: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's Reported 1.3 Million Sales Not Enough for Ubisoft
If 1.3 Mill sold isn't good. Yeah the gaming industry is in trouble
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Has Its Own Shanty Anthem
I rarely buy Day 1 but want to support RGG studios as I love their games.
This is my priority for Feb. Will happily pay the full amount Day 1 and go for the platinum
Re: Halo PS5 Rumours Intensify in Aftermath of Forza Horizon 5 Reveal
Playing Halo & Gears Of War on Playstation.
How things change.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Forza Horizon 5 on PS5?
Played on my Series S so no need to double dip
Re: Hermen Hulst No Longer PlayStation Co-CEO, Still in Charge of First-Party
Great news!
Sony will naturally spin it to make Herman look good but he has been at the forefront of a number of major failures recently and there had to be consequences for that.
In a normal job, he'd long since been fired.
