Re: Disc-Based PS5s Now Warn Buyers About the Impending Death of Physical Games

SBBuds

People that say there is no longevity in digital are wrong in my opinion. My kids have my old PS and Xbox accounts and have games I purchased 15 years ago. If anything, unless you are a die hard collector, digital means you will have the games longer now as you can't trade them in. My kids certainly have no disks from when they were younger but they have hundreds of old digital games to play if they so wish.

Re: EA Studios Brace for Layoff Bloodbath as New Owner Debt Demands $700 Million Cost Cuts

SBBuds

The staff probably saw this coming and have already been looking for other work. It's not lack of empathy it's life, especially in their trade. I mean how do you get in that much debt anyway? 😆 always baffles me. There was a bloodbath coming sooner or later. Also glad that EA haven't made a game other than BF I like for years. The games can only get better really because they couldn't get any worse! There will be less agenda driven characters and storyline anyway. Might actually be more appealing now lol.

Re: Reminder: The PS5 Release Schedule Is About to Become the Busiest It's Ever Been

You don't need to play them on day one. Runescape is on Extra or whatever, Dune is on GP so I don't need to fork out for them. Might buy Dawnwalker but the only game I'm definitely buying isn't even on the list, Hell Let Loose. The rest dont really interest me to much, can't wait for GTA though. Oh yeah and there's No Rest, im getting that but I reckon it'll be cheapish.

Re: Round Up: This PS Plus Game Is One of the Highest Rated Games of the Year

SBBuds

Good news but not for me, to many other games to play and Untitled Goose was not my cup of tea either. I'm firmly in the critic reviews don't mean much corner as well. It's very rare our tastes align, like almost never. It should get played by many though with it being practically free, I hope it does well and the critics have got it right.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for August 2026?

SBBuds

@get2sammyb not saying it was tbh. The only similarity is they are both monthly subs, as far as im concerned anyway they are both worth what we pay for them. I might very well of tried them but GP is to good atm and my attention is elsewhere. I put meh they are ok in the poll. Can't really be fairer than that. The negativity is probably just because people on here are pissed with Sony atm, I'm not though.

Re: EA's Controversial $55 Billion Buyout to Close Next Week

SBBuds

Just as BF was getting half decent as welI 😞 I don't really think they care about what we think or do, there's just as many people will be happy about this as there is disgusted by it. Just not us western folk, there's plenty of customers besides us in the world for them to make games for. Bad news I think but we'll see.

Re: Angry PlayStation Fans Propose PS5 Blackout in Protest of Sony's Disc Decision

SBBuds

This won't do much for at least a few reasons, not enough will do it, not enough people will even know about it and also there are people that will counter this by making sure the DO log in even if they weren't going to. I get the sentiment but I'll be surprised if it even drops 1% for the above reasons. Like some have said all digital is inevitable at some point even if they did backtrack for now, the fight should be about better digital consumer rights. It doesn't make sense.

Re: PSN Down for 6+ Hours, PS Store Still Being Repaired

SBBuds

Been on Xbox the last couple of days playing the excellent Planet Crafter on GP. I'm already all digital but Sony need to up their game if they want an all digital future. Pretty sure you can play your single player games offline though, it only becomes a problem if you game share your digital games and your console isn't the main/home console.
