Re: Sony Expects PS5 to Outsell PS4's First Fiscal Year

@BansheeNorn @BansheeNorn - i'm through with gamestop now. i supported my store for years, but bad info on the first preorders cost me one, so i won't be buying there any more. however, i know that employees can't buy preorders like that. in fact, nobody is allowed more than one (of course, people using online bots is another story). so, that seems improbable to me. i agree the preorder system is totally busted, though - the bots being used online ruins the chance for many people to get a console. i think preorders should be done away with and consoles only sold on launch day with each person allowed to buy one. i think that would help with the people buying just to resell at a ridiculous price.

if this is true, they better start making it easier to find one. preorders,so far, have ended minutes after starting. my local gamestop only had 20 preorders the first go around and just 7 the second time. to make the sales figures they're talking about, consoles need to be available.......step it up sony - it takes more than talk to sell product!

Re: PS5 Could Lose Out on Upgraded Versions of Past Bethesda Games

i have no interest in playing these games. some of them i wish i never played the first time. as for the next elder scrolls - if it's not on ps5, i won't play it - and if it comes out later on ps5, i'll buy it used. one console is enough for me and i'm getting a ps5 for their 1st party games.

Re: PS5 Marketing Begins in Europe with Huge Doritos Campaign

i'm not sure how important marketing will be if sony comes up really short on meeting demand for the console. the ps5 preorder situation has been the worst of sonys 5 consoles.j
edit - and this promotion doesn't mean much to me - when i want something like this, i get tostitos salsa verde!

@Noob_Saibot - i disagree 100%. a sequel detailing how things worked out for abbey - does she find the fireflies and what happens? and where is ellie headed? what's going on with dina. these are much more interesting topics than going backward (for me, anyways).
btw - i loved LoU2 and so did everyone i know. ND just released another fantastic game as far as i'm concerned.

Re: Reaction: Spider-Man PS5 Debacle Shows Sony Is Out of Touch

@get2sammyb - i'm not trying to offend, but i read your article. it sounds like you've already lost your mind. i don't have a problem with ANY company that wants to charge for an upgrade. and adding spiderman to MM for 20 dollars seems ok to me. i was going to preorder MM - now i'm getting the version with ps4 spiderman.

i don't think this shows sony is "out of touch". i think it shows how cheap, spoiled and entitled people seem to be about so many things in life (not just gaming) in todays world. you don't want to buy - don't buy. you don't think the ps5 is a good purhchase or that MS is more consumer friendly - buy an xbox. but all of this whining and crying from some gamers when they have to pay for something is ridiculous.

Re: New PS5 Photos Show a Big and Weird Looking Console

@get2sammyb - i've noticed it too. you've had around 4 that haven't been the most glowing articles, recently. and i'm not mad or anything - but it does seem odd. the article yesterday describing "enormous" file size - i wouldn't consider 66gb "enormous" by todays standards. and 115 for TWO games - MM plus upgraded spiderman? i have a single CoD game on my ps4 that takes up more than that. then the other day you're mad about prices of games going up 10 dollars - first raise in over 2 decades - i don't think that is unreasonable.......just a couple of examples.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Built from the 'Ground Up' for PS5

@Scottmguy - that's an interesting question. i'm not hung up on it. i already preordered miles morales on ps5. however, i have thought of what you're saying. and what about if someone waits and buys ps4 version of MM off ebay used for 20 dollars - can that be upgraded to ps5? or what if whoever bought the game new and upgraded it to ps5 and THEN sold it on ebay - does the person who bought it used get to upgrade it again? honestly, i'll bet there will be some restrictions - but we'll see.
