i tried gamestop.com - i got one in my cart but it wouldn't let me check out. said, not available. they all couldn't have been taken that fast - preorders tonight are really wonky. we'll just have to wait to see what goes on tomorrow - good luck!

Re: Why Does PS4 Copying Update Files Take So Long?

@KidKnee_90 - do you keep the console in standby? i keep mine in that mode and it always updates as soon as the patch is available. then when i turn the system on to play, there is a notification saying an update was done.
edit: if it doesn't update in standby - check the settings - that might not be turned on.

Re: PS5 Price May Dip Below $400, Analyst Speculates

eddie429

@thedevilsjester - i understand the extra costs. but sony doesn't operate in a bubble. every other company that rolls out new hardware has those costs as well. so, as far as where the black and red liines are determined, those are determined by "cost to make" vs "retail price".
i wasn't trying to argue with you - your comment didn't say anything about the console costing 450 to make so i was just throwing that out there. i (along with many others) fully believe the price will be 499/399. and, i don't see that price dropping for quite a while.

Re: Bungie Outright Denies Microsoft Acquisition Speculation

@Noob_Saibot - the only 3rd party devs MS could get that i think would be a big loss for sony (in terms of 3rd party games) would be techland, Bethesda, or Fromsoft. the ones you mentioned aren't that big of a deal. i do see the point you're trying to make, but i remember when MS bought Rare and i thought that was a HUGE deal - and Rare hasn't been anywhere close to as good a dev house as they were when they were making nintendo games.....so, just buying up devs isn't everything.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to See at PS5's Showcase Event?

@Salohcin and i'd agree with you if theyhad enough games (old or new) that i want to play - they don't. and that being said, show me one survey that shows xbox outselling sony next gen. - because there aren't any. as of now, show me ONE game MS has showed gameplay of that's running on an actual xbox seriesx? show me one great exclusive MS has for their upcoming launch? show me one exclusive MS has hinted might come to the seriesX in the first year???? IF xbox does manage to get a consistent stream of high-quality 1st-party games - that, combined with gamepass would be a good deal. but, after 18 years of not figuring out the 1st-party issue, i 'm not holding my breath. forget leading the console market, let me know when MS even manages to get out of last place.
