People that want Physical games over digital want the game to be on the disc.

Why else would they want Physical games?

This just seems like a stupid thing to do.

If Michael Pachter said it, then the opposit is true.

@nessisonett That's like calling Namco's Galaga slop because it was directly inspired by Taito's Space Invaders.

I'm guessing you didn't play video games in the 80s.

Pumped to play this one.

I hope you all buy it and we can point and laungh at the muppets on social media who are crying over this

I own Yakuza 0 on PS4 disc. I would have happliy paid for a PS5 upgrade, but I'm not buying the whole game again because it's almost the same.

@PuppetMaster Why do you not use the original Japanese voices?

English voices in Yakuza is weird to me.

The first Bomb Rush Cyberfunk had such a boring opening mission I turned it off before i finished it.

It's Tiffy time all day long baby!

@sanderson72

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.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare It's the CD part we needs though

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.

It's still free!

The train did a backflip and I was sold

"We’re sure you’ve heard of K-Pop Demon Hunters by now."

You would be wrong.

@get2sammyb I'm glad you posted this piece as it absoultly clears up the nonsense on social media.

I clicked all the website adverts to show a job well done!

More people on PSN is the most telling figure to me.

116 million --> 123 Million is big

@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.

I'm sorry guys, this ones on me.

I pointed out that you could use the PS3 store to get discounts on PS1 classics for PS5.

@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.

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.

@CaptainWow Explain your statment.

How would checks INCREASE the amount of children playing online games?

@Fizza I don't care why.

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.

Good.

Hopefully this will minimise the amount of children and outrage weirdos playing the game.

Maybe, just maybe online gaming will be fun again.

@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.

@Foxx_64740 Revenue is not profit.

Notice they didn't say Profit. Revenue doesn't include costs.

No thanks. Not for me

@AndyKazama I bought that on a deal!

I'm not into Roblox because I'm not a child.

But basically this is just advertising directly to younger gamers, and you have to advertise where the gamers are.

They should do a firmware update that changes the PS5 into a PS5 Pro.

Yeah, but IS it on the disc?

The chuds are crying over the main character on social media.

I understood the Concord kerfuffle, but not this.

@Broosh

I hope it bombs on Xbox and Sony doesn't go down this path.

Look where it took Microsoft.
Look how well Nintendo are doing by not following.

@RoomWithaMoose

The last COD I played was Black Ops Cold war, but gritty war seemed to be the general theme of COD.

Wacky fun is what I expect from Fortnite.

I see COD taking ideas from Fortnite, but not the other way round so we can tell who is doing better.

@RoomWithaMoose

The difference is, wacky charactors fit in fortnite, but not in gritty COD.

The sky is the limit now!

@Areus

They probably don't realise Xbox is even a thing.

@Ultimapunch What are you even on about?

"but it seems like the division is still creaking under the weight of its acquisitions, slumping hardware sales, and stagnant subscription services, like Xbox Game Pass."

Please actually read the piece before trying to crowbar your politics into the comments.

@Daddee-Cree Depends if you've already built up a large joker collection or not.

I have it on my phone too, but prefer it on my PS5 because that's where I've got to gold level.

@Alps_Stranger Absolutely this!

This series is fantastic.

I even have the mini game from Mina No Golf on my PocketStation.

As featured in every single pub in the late 90s.

Also this will be a great use of the touch pad on the controller.

@KingDedede

Asking the real questions

@Eduard_Brenton

Minds Chaps-Eye more like!

@ChrisDeku
Halo: Master Chef Cookery collection

@VaultGuy415 It's not free, because it requires a Netflix subscription

at 30fps, I'd take this

@get2sammyb It's great use of the word!
