@IonMagi what's wrong with that then? because people can't benefit for 10 years? If you want to use something, you just pay for it, that's how it works in the adult world. and then you don't have to moan about Sony. Sony is a company that wants and has to make money. can you also stack 10 years with the rent of your house? or your energy bill? or your telephone subscriptions? would be nice but don't think it is economically good.
@zimbogamer good for you. especially because it can't be cheap.with your mentality the whole game industry will die all gamepass brings are day one indie games and people pretend it's the greatest service ever. it's a crappy service that hasn't shown much to date. but yes everything for € 100 for 3 years is of course nice. quantity for quality.
@Snake_V5 What is wrong with that? That's logical right? what's the use otherwise. the current generation is just whining about everything. and everything has to be as cheap as possible. this is not customer unfriendly. this is called doing business. Sony has to earn some money from the new service. so if half the world is going to hit for 10 years, it makes sense that they would stop this. And then there are people here who find that unfriendly? what a disgusting generation.
@nedbvv
Yeah all those great first Day indie games are unbelievable indeed. And those 2 Xbox exclusives that are already out there. The rest won't come until 2023, but gamepass is great.
@DonJorginho
Europe is the biggest Playstation market there is with most Playstations in the wild. I think they begin small and end with the biggest continent. Something with server overload? The same goes for Japan, also a big market. has nothing to do with first or last as some babies here think. this is more of a technical thing.
@Luigia @Luigia must be youre internet connection. Because here in the Netherlands we no problem streaming.everyone always says that it is up to Sony. But I'm thinking more of the internet provider.
@Ashkorsair Same here, I think the Netherlands takes a top position in the world for faster internet. But we are a small country so i think it,s easier to make this possible. but I also like streaming. No problem with speed and lags in the Netherlands.
@ShogunRok Its still couple a months away, everyone should be more patiënt. But nowadays we need to know everything in seconds. I'm sure we'll find out all by June.
@WallyWest
There's nothing wrong with it. Sony doesn't need Day one releases. These games cost 100 milion to make. Microsoft doens't invest that kinna money in games. And then there's that "glitch" for gamepass I bett that from those 25 million users more than 50% used that glitch. And that makes gamepass verder atractive to buy. Case for now its almost a steal for that money.And There's youre gamepass succes.
Great service! Ps plus stays as it is for the same price. If you want more pay a little more.and I have ps now Until 2023 and I read somewhere that I Will get the premium plus. Sounds like a good deal. Thanks Sony!
Perhaps its a glitch in the matrix, and she said something thats supposed to be said in 6 months or so. Or I believe that Sony will anounce something big very soon.
@ShogunRok Well we know what activision is working on and that,s not overwhelming. I bett its good because Sony is never buying when its not promising.
@arra1213 Glad im not the only one Who reads it like that. Since gp arrived everyone cries about game prices. You should see my ticket when i fill up my car with gasoline. I could but 2,5 games for 1 fill. Thats way more painfull than buying a Playstation game. I think a lot of visitors of this site including the staff weren,t born in the 80,'s. (S)nes games and n64 games were always that expensive. Switch games are also €60. And you never hear anyone complain. Weird.
@Robocod There not Take2 owned, Take2 is the publisher.Supermassive games is a stand alone studio. That said. No problem to pay €70 for a game. I earn more than enough. But i always wait for games (except Sony games) to go in sale. But then again my salary is fine and my wife earns the same. But if you live alone it is a bit harder i quess. Dont know the average salary in the uk tough. But i remember Until Dawn was €59 in 2015. So does everyone game on this site gets a price tag in the title now?
@JSnow2 Have you seen it in real life then? Clever if it hasn't even been officially announced yet. Or do you go like everyone else on the internet blind to the words of Mr. Grubb? First wait and see what comes next and only then judge. But that's hard in this day and age.
@LightningLeader Money? Sony Earns from selling Bungie. And can also choose to keep some things exclusive. Bungie continues to make multiplatform games and Sony earns from it.
@get2sammyb Sony is still the biggest T-Rex in Gaming out there i case you didn't noticed. With over a 100 million userbase that is getting stonger every Day. Gamepass on the other hand ony has 25 million users. And that's not gonna change in a long run. You guys really need to stop bashing Sony like that. You cant compare Sony with Microsoft. The core business Sony is in isnt suitable to be able to keep so much money in hand. Margin on electronics is simply much lower than on Licenses that half the world has to use But Sony is far from a little boy. But everyone has their own thing. And it's really not that Microsoft has infinite pockets of money lying around. And certainly not for Xbox. Because I don't think xbox makes a profit to this day unlike playstation.
U.S. companies planning joint ventures with Japan usually find that at least one of these options is unavailable: they cannot buy a Japanese company. Still, U.S. companies can enter a wide range of potential joint venture agreements
And even if a japanese company is bought is HAS to be on SALE. so Sony must sell Playstation. Right..... Dream on
@viktorcode @IonMagi Apple cant buy Sony!! Japanse companies cant be bought by other companies but Japanse. And why is everybody saying Sony has't any money? I never looked on Sony,s bankaccount so i don't know what they have. And Microsoft cant buy all those big companies they don't have enough money fot that. They don't have money trees and the monopoly would become to big. They hanvent bought Activision yet it first has to belooked in to by different countries. Please stop making those dumb comments as if Sony is dying cause they don't they are stil the number one gaming company in the world befor Tencent and Microsoft.
@Jenson1975 You have the most hilariouse comment of the year. Microsoft cant keep buying al big companies. It's Prohibited by law. Something with monopoly.
"is this the end for Playstation" everything for the clicks huh. This is no way near the end for Playstation. Not hing comes out of Activision. And that's not gonna change.
@NEStalgia Dude youre talking like ms have infitine money trees. Are you for real? And buying Sony as a whole? They don't have THAT kind of money. And i say it again, there's a law that Japanse comanies can't be bought. So that's a no go. It long terms gamepass wil be waaaymore expensive per month. And Microsoft is lauging in there fists cause every idioot wil keep paying. Prices go up quality goes down. And they don't care cause they, ll get youre money anyway. This is a very very bad thing for gaming as a whole.
@Ashina Japanse comanies can, 't be bought by western comanies. There, s a special law fot that in Japan. Sony on the other hand can buy if they want. But what good can Come out of this.
@get2sammyb Its not the cash Sony has enough cash and a lot of comanies besides playstation elecrtonics an music and movies. I think with the money they earnt from the New Spidey movie alone they could buy a big one but you don't want that. I really hope there are comanies Who wil stop this nonens. It becomes too big a monopoly and that can never be good for the gaming industry. I hope there is a watchdog that will stop this takeover. Not that I play call of duty but still.
@Juanalf Bankrupt? What nonsense. You can also just wait a while and not pay 70. Games have always been more expensive and that's normal, right? There are people working on these games that have families. And they have to make, sell en earn to survive in the world. It's called money!. Not everything in the world is free. Welcome to the great people world. Then you save money to buy a game.
@Enigk It's not a disappointment because Sony has already confirmed that they're not going to do that. But I don't know what year most of this site comes from but playstation has 27 years of experience. And if Sony creates a service with ps 1,2,3,4 games then you already have a library of games that is 10 times bigger than the whole game pass.
@Richnj Don't think so because some People do want top pay for quality. Playstation sells xbox would have been almost dead anyway so I understand Microsoft's move.
Please Phil just keep your head down. If it hadn't been for gamepass, Xbox wouldn't even have existed anymore. And no please Sony, don't go after Microsoft. Stay focused on the high quality and throw playstation 1,2,3 & 4 titles on the "spartacus service" Butt no Day one games for free please. Go for quality not quantity.
@The_Moose Sony Doesn't have to make ps now so important. Playstation sells and the facts show that too. I dare say that if gamepass hadn't been there, Xbox wouldn't have existed anymore. And the fact that there is a glitch of 3 years of game pass for € 1 also adds to that of course. But still, I'm curious what Sony will do.
@Ryguy2784 I see what you mean there but Tlou2 reaaly was't a , unpolished, bareboned game at all. It was a masterpiece in graphics and story. But that's my opinion though. And i know that a lot of gamers agree with me.
Wll i don't think its messy. For me its working fine. Not a single probleem with any ps5 upgrade. But i can understand For some players its a headache.
@fR_eeBritney I received an email from Sony asking if I wanted to buy a ps5. Then last Monday between 9 and 11 I had the opportunity to buy one directly in the direct store. And on Wednesday I had him in the house. I do live in the Netherlands. But as a tip I say keep an eye on your e-mail.
No youre wrong. Nintendo asks €60, Sony €10. But seriously why would somebody wants to play those games again? I mean there are beautiful games. But I played them allready so i have no reason to play them again. I prefer to put that €10 in uncharted 5 for example.
That doesn't matter to me. My internet is terribly fast. And have But downloading would be nicer. Then I can't be thrown out. also no trouble with streaming.
