They're all out of stock here in Poland.
I suspect it's the retailers taking them offline so they can bundle them with the console in 2 weeks...

This makes sense to me. It’s mostly for people who don’t care about the price as much.
We’ll see what happens.

@Matthewnh "Are there any games where the PS5 really struggles?"
Unfortunately yes, there's a bunch, including some of the biggest releases.

It is very expensive. Unfortunately that's what you get when there's no real competition...
I'm still getting one asap, because I, too, am "Exactly the Kind of Sucker Sony's Aiming For"

What a nice guy, a real people person

This doesn't look very good to me but I feel this way about most of the games in the genre

I hope the GT demo includes the VR mode - I really wanna try that but I doubt I'd play the game a lot.

I need like 3 months of vacation for all these games...

Didn't this just launch? Like 3 months ago?

I just saw a bunch of outdoor ads for Astro Bot in my city too
Nothin as crazy as this though.

My disc shipped today so I'm not sure if I'm getting it this weekend or Monday... but I don't really have time to properly play it soon anyway...
It might have to wait until after Astro Bot

@get2sammyb @AdamNovice I had a feeling it was about time. Thanks

Real question is... where's my 4th special bot in Astro's Playroom? That trophy won't pop itself

@Artois2 You might be thinking of Wuchang, a different game

Definitely getting the platinum for this one! And I hope they keep making Astro games for a long time (port the VR game to VR2 next, pls)

I'd assume it will use the same detachable disc drive as the current slim model.
Getting rid of it entirely for the Pro model makes little sense to me.

I wonder how it plays today. Loved it in the 90s!

Played the demo for a bit (now also has a PS5 version) - didn't get far yet but it seems at least decent.
Full game is €20 and has a 15% discount for PS+ subscribers for the first couple weeks

@Intr1n5ic For me it's currently only showing the demo and only a PS4 version of it...
I'll definitely check it out too though.

Wouldn't be the first time Sony leaks their own stuff

I expect to enjoy it.
I'll probably also take a really long time to finish it on account on having little time for games lately and prioritzing Astro over it

This looks good. I will not be playing it (not anytime soon anyway).

I'm not sure how this show is supposed to work but if it's good overall I see no reason this specific episode shouldn't be.
That said, it is a surprising choice and I would assume it's being sponsored by Sony... but then I wonder how it works for others, since I can't imagine Spelunky's or Sifu's publishers doing the same thing.

It's weird that they'd announce this before it came out on Xbox but I won't be complaining

@colonelkilgore Winter for Poland and France...

I'm so getting this xD

Gaming might be back...

This was a fun show, actually not bad. I'll watch a 2nd season too.

Do I need a 6th controller? Definitely not.
Still pre-ordered because I'm a sucker for a nice thing

@The_Pixel_King Same, getting it day 1 (assuming it's a thing in the first place)

@Th3solution Agreed - that's a game a lot of console owners will be very happy with, but not necessarily one a lot of people would get a console for

@AhmadSumadi @Frmknst I think "not on the other major console family" is the new exclusive and there's more than enough of that to make people choose PS for all the non-exclusive stuff

@Member_the_game I can definitely confirm both that they removed the confirmation emails from PS Plus games at some point and that they are back this month

Still, it's not a big deal to me

I don't mind it that much if it happens right after claming a game but I got a "Thank you for your purchase" email seemingly out of nowhere last week, haven't used the store at all...
Turns out it was because I won a PlayStation Tournament and the reward was an exclusive PSN Avatar...

oooh I heard about this, didn't even realize it wasn't on PS

I enjoyed Queen's Blood (completed the related storyline too) but I kinda feel like I had just enough of it at this point.

Grubb might be just saying whatever but employees being mad at the CEO is definitely a thing that's happening. I also saw some of the employees still at the company saying they should form an union - which I hope they do

"frog-type games" 🤔

@Retron I enjoyed Battleborn. Too bad it never really took off.

Yeah, AI means a lot of things and this a good use of it (that's been around for a good while).
Unfortunately the term has become a buzzword to push the questionable applications...

Also, the wording in the blog post is a bit confusing to me as it suggests it will only be available where PS Direct is available - meanwhile in my experience 'select retailers' used to refer to retailers in countries where PS Direct does not exist (this was true for the GoW and Spider-Man limited edition controllers)

Do I need a 6th DualSense 🤔

@Th3solution I just hope they play reasonably well in 2024/25 - they were easily some of my favorite games of their time

Too bad it's just a remaster, unless the upgrade is as big as Crisis Core or something.
I suspect the games might feel janky after all these years but I loved them back then and will definitely give them a go again.

This is great and I hope I can find some more time to play HD2 soon (been a bit short on that lately)

@Nem I think the trailer suggested he didn't survive but death kinda didn't stick either

@Deoxyr1bose it's an unexpected choice but it's definitely a good one to bring new audience to the game

Crazy announcement. I expected Dizzy and Unika, didn't expect Venom or a guest character.
Guess I should watch Edgerunners.

@Nf157 Good question, I guess we'll see next weekend (there's an open beta for the mode)

My top 3 might be the same, except I'd go with Helldivers in 2nd and Stellar Blade in 3rd
Prince of Persia and Tekken 8 are my other stand outs (haven't gotten to Animal Well yet)

@WhiteRabbit if it makes you feel any better, I made my Victor custom Canadian in Tekken 8 (gave him a red flannel shirt)! 😂

She looks really strong... maybe a bit too strong even.
Having representation in a game you play is fun though (I'm Polish myself)
