@Hapless I'm on X and it's funny winding up the chuds who hate this game!
They hate the English voice actress, so I wind them up by calling them casuals, and justifying that by saying real gamers use Japanese voices in games set in Fedual Japan.
Only casual chuds would even hear the woman they are so angry about!

The post above appeared the same time as mine! Brilliant timing!
If you check the health and safety manuals for both the PS4 and PS5, the books have the laser class listed and what discs can be read.
The PS4 safety manual lists a CD reading laser class and actually lists CD's as discs that can be played. Also if you google "PS4 to play music CD's" there was a point Sony considered adding the feature via firmware update. So clearly the hardware was there.
But the PS5 doesn't list CD's in its safety manual and it's a different laser class listed.
In the hope that anyone from Sony's hardware team ever rerads this.
THIS TIME MAKE THE DETACHABLE DRIVE ABLE TO READ CD/DVD/BD
If you did that on the PS5, you could of had actual backwards compatablity. Not including CD playback was dumb. Although blocking via firmware on the PS4 was really dumb too.
But online gaming has become a toxic hell hole. I remember the days of Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast and PGR on the original Xbox when online gaming was fun and the user base were just other serious nerds.
It was great; but now it's filled with kids and nob heads.
@Foxx_64740 Don't trust anyone, they all have their own agenda, only trust yourself.
So in that case, do the maths yourself.
How many studios does Microsoft run? If each AAA game costs aprox $100 million to create (that's a low ball figure!); then studios x game cost = Development costs
Then divide that figure by 6 because each game takes aprox 6 years to make and this gives us our yearly "T cost" figure.
Then Google:
"how much does microsoft pay 3rd partys for games on game pass"
and you'll see the answer to this question is a bliion dollars.
"T costs" + $1 billion = Total game pass costs
Then see if that figure is more or less than the $5 billion revenue figure.
I already ran the numbers so I know the answer just I don't expect you to take my word for it. But the answer is why I have the opinion I have.

Re: Disappointment As Tekken 3 Is the Latest PS1 Classic to Launch without Trophies
@Decoy_Snake Just seems like a missed opportunity to me.
I mean you could be playing Tekken 3 on the device you are using to read this very text!
Namco are just suppling the same version you could run right now without adding anything.
Re: Disappointment As Tekken 3 Is the Latest PS1 Classic to Launch without Trophies
@Decoy_Snake But everyone already has access to this game in about 10 different ways.
I still have my PS1 disc, and an ISO of it on most of my different retro stations.
So why release the same thing again?! Surely they'd have made more money by including trophy support.
Re: Disappointment As Tekken 3 Is the Latest PS1 Classic to Launch without Trophies
What is the point of releasing this without trophy support?
These days we have a million and one ways to play retrogames, surely the main draw now is to be able to tie a completed run to your trophy tally.
Complete waste of time Namco.
Re: October 2025 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
Also Tekken 3 has hit the classics section (or is £8 is you want to just buy it).
Not sure if it has trophy support though, I would of thought it would but Tekken 2 doesn't.
Re: Xbox, PC Sci-Fi RPG Starfield Won't Be Revealed for PS5 Until Next Year
Release it on PS5 when it's actually ready. Because the version on X|S was not very good at all.
Probably needs this time put into an expansion which will fix all the gameplay and world issues that are in this title.

Re: Now Xbox Owns Call of Duty, Sony's Investing Its Marketing Budget into Battlefield 6 Instead
@Hypoman "But the topic is about Saudi."
Yes. So why do we go so hard on Saudi and Not America?
Why the two tier system? Why don't we treat Saudi like America?
Re: Now Xbox Owns Call of Duty, Sony's Investing Its Marketing Budget into Battlefield 6 Instead
@Hypoman I'm not even saying one is worse than the other, I'm just questioning why America gets a pass and Saudi doesn't.
Re: Now Xbox Owns Call of Duty, Sony's Investing Its Marketing Budget into Battlefield 6 Instead
@pharos_haven Nice attack, but I didn't say that.
But by your logic, you think that Asian and europeans are worth less that homosexuals.
It's weird that you'd rank people in that way.
Re: Now Xbox Owns Call of Duty, Sony's Investing Its Marketing Budget into Battlefield 6 Instead
@wildcat_kickz There's no whatabouts, it's purely a numbers game.
And you're prepared to value a small number over a giant number.
Re: Now Xbox Owns Call of Duty, Sony's Investing Its Marketing Budget into Battlefield 6 Instead
@wildcat_kickz The US has entered into three unprovoked wars in the last 100 years killing millions upon millions.
The US killstreak makes Saudi look like Switzerland.
Re: Now Xbox Owns Call of Duty, Sony's Investing Its Marketing Budget into Battlefield 6 Instead
@ElectricWizard Why do you hate Saudi?
I've heard mental people cry "Human Rights" but then give America a free pass like its better some how.
Or do you only complain about human rights when its muslims?

Re: PS5 Console Sales Surpass 80 Million Milestone, Closing in on PS3
@SeaDaVie No. It's shipped.
It's shipped to retailers. Sold is sold to customers.
Don't make a big deal over it though, it'll be 90 million by the end of the year.
Re: PS3's Store Has Been Broken for a Day, Forcing Fans to Fear the Worst
I'm sorry guys, this ones on me.

Re: PS5 Console Sales Surpass 80 Million Milestone, Closing in on PS3
@naruball I know, that's why I wrote the shipped number.
The headline says sold, but that's not correct.
It's 80 million SHIPPED, not 80 million SOLD, so the headline is incorrect.
Re: PS5 Console Sales Surpass 80 Million Milestone, Closing in on PS3
Even though it's only a 2 million difference;
It's actually 80 million consoles "SHIPPED" to retailers.
78 million are actually "SOLD" to players.

Re: GTA 6 Might Require Age Verification, as GTA Online Checks Leak
Good.
Hopefully this will minimise the amount of children and outrage weirdos playing the game.
Maybe, just maybe online gaming will be fun again.
