My Premium expired 5 days ago and I wasn't going to re-sub until a decent discount appeared so the timing of this is impeccable, especially with a new black edition Portal arriving next week!!
@Quintumply Thanks!! I remember trying to play a purchased film via remote play on PS4 and it specifically blocked it completely. If the Portal does allow access to these apps then it's another plus in the "buy" column even although it might not be optimal.
I was in the market for a 4K streaming device so I’ve killed 2 birds with one stone...gone completely rogue...and bought this on Stadia...getting the aforementioned streaming device (a Chromecast Ultra) and controller thrown in for free.
Could turn out to be complete and utter folly but you’ve got to try these things I suppose!!
Exceptional experiences that will only get better and a key differentiator (for me anyway) rather than this push for subscriptions from the team in green.
Although I did hover over an XBox Series S pre-order a little too long the other day which surprised me.
Completely underwhelmed by last night’s presentation. No affinity with FF (insert no. here) nor anything Soul’s related.
Had Spidey been PS5 only then I’d likely have seen it through but PS4 Pro version will do nicely.
The main rub for me is the £70 price tag for new games. That’ll take some adjustment...and I already have 12 PS+ Collection too so no enticement there.
The decision to restrict Control to Ultimate Edition buyers only really yanks my chain as someone who was poised to pick up the DLC when the AWE expansion was released.
Despite my love of Alan Wake they can swing for it now.
Both PS+ and PSNow renewed...excellent value at these prices.
Shopto are very good...the discounts on PSN credit are also very worthwhile.
Picking up both digital deluxe editions of The Last of Us and Ghost of Tsushima for the same price as the regular digital editions due to the discounts on offer at Shopto.
Tintin, a bit like the Banana Splits, just transports me back to late 70’s summer holidays...a highlight of the morning TV schedules along with Battle of the Planets!!
It’s the only 1 out of all the Arkham games that I didn’t finish where I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve completed Asylum across the years/platforms.
I hit the buy button after getting half way through the launch trailer.
Not that far in to the game but goodness gracious it’s absolutely gorgeous and I’ve paused to take so many screenshots that’s it’s a veritable “Theme” generator in itself!!

Re: Hardware Review: PS Portal Is the Perfect PS5 Companion (For Some)
Looks like all entertainment features are blocked after all which is real shame as that would have been very handy.

Re: Hardware Review: PS Portal Is the Perfect PS5 Companion (For Some)
Can you access the entertainment apps (Sky/Netflix etc) or is it remote access to games only?

Re: PS4 Exclusive God of War Releasing on PC in January
Give me that 21:9 aspect ratio and on PS5 please…pretty please!!
Re: Mini Review: The Procession to Calvary (PS4) - Absurd Point and Click Adventure Is Funny and Brilliantly Unique
It hasn’t disappointed…first trophy named Spanking The Bishop…almost PMSL…absolutely brilliant stuff!!
Re: Mini Review: The Procession to Calvary (PS4) - Absurd Point and Click Adventure Is Funny and Brilliantly Unique
Bought!! The trailer had me in kinks so it had to be done.
Re: Absurd Adventure Game The Procession to Calvary Finally Arrives on PS4 Soon
It had me at the Monty Python style animation…this is sooooo getting bought!!
Re: Days Gone Is Still a Stunner in PC Features Trailer
I’d love to see 21:9 aspect support on PS5!!
Re: Days Gone 2 Not Given the Greenlight, Sony Bend Working on Something New
Having just picked off the last of the hordes in glorious 4K/60 on PS5 this very morning this news is VERY disappointing indeed.
Really warmed to the game as it progressed originally, so much so that a rare platinum was achieved at the time.
Looks and plays fabulously on PS5 and I’d have been very keen on a sequel. Poor show!!
Re: Next-Gen PSVR Game Brings Anime Motorcycle Shootouts to PS5
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!
Re: PS Store Discontinues Movie, TV Rentals and Purchases in August
They are offering their own 4K streaming service via their top of the range 2021 TV’s so many be that will make it’s way to PS5...?!?
I’ve both rented and bought movies on occasion and with the current trend towards “early” watch at home launches this seems a strange move.

Re: Celebrate The Last of Us Day with Statues, Merch, and Contests
A board game you say...unexpected...but colour me interested for sure!!
Factions would be good...maybe with a co-op spin like the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima offering also rather than just straight up PVP.

I’ll be all in on PSVR2!!

Re: PS4 to PS5: All Games with Confirmed Free Upgrades

Despite my love of Alan Wake they can swing for it now.
Re: Guide: What Time Is the EA Play 2020 Livestream?
I’ll be kind of busy at 12am BST tonight with something called The Last of Us 2...I hear it’s supposed to be quite good!!
Re: Sony Issues Official Shot of PS5 Console on Its Side
There better be a ton of USB ports on the back!!
Re: PS5 Pre-Order Placeholders Live at Popular UK Retailer
Pre-ordered my pre-order a couple of months ago now.
Followed suit today with the wireless headset.
Re: PS5 Console Reveal Trailer Is Now PlayStation's Most Liked YouTube Video
I’m already planning a re-jig of the under TV cabinet in order to accommodate it.
Re: Remedy Confirms a PS5 Version of Control Is in the Works
@RaZieLDaNtE That would be such things as dreams are made of!!
Re: The Last of Us 2 Pre-Load Is Available Now on PS4
Downloading now...but that countdown clock isn’t ticking fast enough for my liking!!
Re: Correction: Spider-Man Miles Morales Is a Brand New, Standalone PS5 Game Similar to Uncharted Lost Legacy
Much obliged...day one hopefully along with the console itself!!
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Is a Remaster of the 2018 Game with New Content
I was expecting this to be a Uncharted Lost Legacy type situation.
If the expectation is to purchase the entire game again in order to play this new element then...eh...no!!
Re: Remedy Confirms a PS5 Version of Control Is in the Works
Forget that Remedy and give us the Alan Wake PS5 remaster we’re after!!
Re: Talking Point: Did the PS5 Games Reveal Event Meet Your Expectations?
Definitely a glimpse of it and on its side in that final video...yay!!
Plus a LOT of USB ports in please!!
Re: Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered Reportedly Launching Fall 2020
Just ME2 with all the DLC will be fine thanks...Fem Shep here I come!!
Re: PS Plus June 2020 PS4 Game Announced
The best way to play COD campaigns...when you pick them up for peanuts or have them drop on you for “free”.
Thank you!!
Re: Deal: PS Plus and PS Now Memberships Going Cheap in Days of Play UK Offers
Both PS+ and PSNow renewed...excellent value at these prices.
Shopto are very good...the discounts on PSN credit are also very worthwhile.

Re: PlayStation Now Records Highest Subscriber Count Ever at 2.2 Million
I would actually take PSNow over PS+ at the moment.
I’ve never found any real issues with streaming...just completed Tomb Raider like this.
Currently downloaded and playing Evil Within.
Excellent service for less than a fiver a month!!
Re: Poll: How Will You Play Ghost of Tsushima?
I’m dusting off my old DVD copy of Ninja in The Dragons Den just to get me in the mood.
Japanese language, subtitles and cinema black and white...the things dreams are made of!!
Re: May 2020 PS Plus Games Are Available to Download Now on PS4
Don’t all rush at once now!!
Re: The Adventures of Tintin Will Continue in a New Game from Blacksad Dev Microids
Tintin, a bit like the Banana Splits, just transports me back to late 70’s summer holidays...a highlight of the morning TV schedules along with Battle of the Planets!!
An oddly nostalgic start to the day...thank you!!
Re: Grab a PlayStation Now Subscription with This 25% Discount in the UK
Pity you can’t use this to stack an existing sub...new customers only!!
Re: Rumour: Days Gone Could Be Riding Onto PC, According to Amazon France
It won't detract from the enjoyment, and relatively rare platinum trophy, I got for my efforts with it.
An excellent game that should be enjoyed by the widest audience possible.
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 8 Will Feature PSVR Support
@nookie_egg I’m on a pro. I’m perplexed by Astro Bot as most everything else is no problem whatsoever.
Resi 7, Moss & Beat Sabre make the PSVR a worthy purchase in itself if you ask me.
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 8 Will Feature PSVR Support
@nookie_egg That’s funny as I’m the polar opposite. RE7 was transformative in VR where as Astro Bot just gives me the complete boke!!
Re: This PS5 Mock-Up Is Inspired By the DualSense Controller, and It's Gorgeous
I’d buy that for a dollar!!
I do like the white. My pre-pro PS4 was the original white Destiny model. Liked it better than the old black box.
Would have liked to have a white pro model!!
Re: PS5 Controller Revealed, Named DualSense with Create Button and Built-in Microphone
I may have missed this skimming the comments but how will this controller work with PSVR?
Re: Disney Wants to Empower Game Developers to Leverage Its Intellectual Property
But what they forget to say is that they’ll also take 99.9% of the revenue generated in the process.
Far too powerful Disney are!!
Re: Outriders Gameplay Reveal Leaves a Lot to Be Desired
Gears of Destiny then.
I don’t think my initial enthusiasm for a title has cooled quite so quickly ever before!!
Re: Co-Op Shooter Outriders Coming to PS5 at Launch This Holiday
Bulletstorm is such a guilty pleasure that I’d definitely take a punt on this.
Re: Unannounced Batman Game Teased on Social Media Again by WB Montreal
@Flaming_Kaiser Less driving the better indeed!!
It’s the only 1 out of all the Arkham games that I didn’t finish where I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve completed Asylum across the years/platforms.
Re: Unannounced Batman Game Teased on Social Media Again by WB Montreal
As long as it’s more akin to Arkham Asylum than Arkham Knight then count me in!!
Re: Mini Review: GRIS - This Simple 2D Platformer Paints a Gorgeous Picture on PS4
I hit the buy button after getting half way through the launch trailer.
Not that far in to the game but goodness gracious it’s absolutely gorgeous and I’ve paused to take so many screenshots that’s it’s a veritable “Theme” generator in itself!!
Re: Round Up: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Reviews Are Impressive, Most Impressive
So is there a 10hr trial via EA Access?
I know there wasn’t the usual pre-release trial but now that spoilers aren’t going to be a thing is there one?
Re: Persona 5 Scramble Looks Better Than Ever in New Joker Trailer
Just received a notification that Persona 5 has been added to PS Now...nice!!
Re: Battlefield V Storms the Pacific with Two New Maps This Halloween
Wake Island will be good...but please let us take off from the aircraft carriers rather than spawning already in flight!!
