Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Sells 104,687 Copies At Launch in Japan

hi_drnick

@Burntbreadman thanks for saying this. I'm shocked 11,000 units were sold because I've been searching high and low and on a daily basis and I can't find anywhere that has one for sale. I'm sure if there were more available they would all sell out and I for one would buy one ASAP.

Re: Here's a Video of PlayStation Boss Jim Ryan Speaking Japanese

hi_drnick

I don't think there's any evidence from this video that he's actually studying Japanese as he is clearly just reading it. In saying that, he is not mangling the pronunciation too badly and that's a win for sure. As a somewhat fluent speaker, Japanese is relatively easy to pick up but very very very hard to master.

Re: PS3 Gets a Surprise Firmware Update, Available to Download Now

hi_drnick

@carlos82 nice setup dude.

I still play my ps3 semi-regularly. I have an embarrassingly large backlog going back to launch and including a number of digital ps1 and ps2 classics. I think it's a great console but I'm sad that I have to use the slim and my phat sits in a box following it's untimely death. Would like to fix it one day but not sure if there's a point.

Re: BBC Consumer Show Investigating Missing PS5 Deliveries

hi_drnick

@Spoonman-2 I'm trying to think how that would work. In the case of your phone, it's easy because you've already activated it. But in the case of things like PS5, I don't think they display the serial number on the outside of the box (for obvious reasons) so it would have it difficult to know which exact until was stolen beyond it being one of the hundreds/thousands alloted to a specific store.

Re: PS5 Sold Out in Japan, But Launch Numbers Are Dire

hi_drnick

@get2sammyb well, I live here and I couldn't find one at launch despite trying my darndest to preorder. I can buy one using Mercari but they cost at least double and the vast majority of these are sold out despite the premium (and there are thousands of listings!). I'm content to wait until new stock becomes available but I don't think things here are as dire as you suggest.

Re: PS5 Download Speeds Are Definitely Faster Than PS4

hi_drnick

@graysoncharles that's so odd. I have the exact opposite problem. My PS4 Pro is super reliable and quick on downloads whereas my Xbox One X is slow and drops it's connection on occasion. They sit within a metre of each other so I don't understand why.

Re: PS5 Games Won't Support PSVR, Says Sony

hi_drnick

@ThaBEN oh dear. How will life go on? How will anyone be able to deal with this travesty? Surely one of the worst hardships ever inflicted upon humankind. Having to have 2 of the same game installed especially when there's only a handful of them. We might as well all give up now.

Re: PS5 UI Reveal Reels in 7 Million Views, Trends Top of YouTube

hi_drnick

For not one second have I understood the undeserved panic surrounding the ps5 launch. Since when did it become the norm to reveal every aspect of the product prior to launch? Especially now when a firmware update can introduce (or render obsolete) features.

Personally I want a bit of mystery when I buy a new console. It's fun to explore and discover things for yourself rather than everything explained.
