I read online that what may happen is Microsoft will offer another contract towards the end of the 3 years, which in part maybe true but it's not in black and white from Microsoft so it may not happen either.
Like I said before if it does stay with Microsoft I will just go without, not desperate to play it.
If you collect everything in the first playthrough you should only need the one playthrough on Survivor as someone I read completed it and got the platinum had spoke about it.
@Dr_Luigi No for a sub like Gamepass I can probably agree with you that most gamers will take on annual passes and not just month by month basis but going on some things I do notice some people like to get a months say PS Plus or used to be PS Now to play a game to save them money which I can imagine some may do the same for Gamepass which saves spending money buying a game if they can just buy it on the pass for cheap to tryout.
No true sometimes I have to check the dates of my renewels etc.
Don't get me wrong you save a tonne of money by having the sub and rightly so.
This is true that people spend money in other areas where Push Square had done an article on how much Sony have made on the DLC side of things which brings in the most money for them, not that we are talking about Sony.
I do agree that Microsoft probably believe that it will succeed and it definitely is at this moment but is there a point where they find that one day it won't be cost effective anymore...then prices will rise.
I am surprised they manage to bring most day one releases to GamePass but I guess their money helps them bring them to the sub as they have no issue to cut some corners to bring savings to the gamers with the sub.
Gamepass brings Huge value I just hope it doesn't effect budgets for the likes of Cod and other games as this is a big sale.
@Dr_Luigi unless Microsoft will give Activision tonnes of money to produce the type of games @AdamNovice is referring to then obviously look at the situation as Microsoft wont need to pay anything to put the games on gamepass and won't make as much money if they just put them on gamepass but they will attract more people but the cost of one gamepass sub doesn't equate to £70 game on PS5 for example.
When you times 100 subs by their price and then times 100 people buying a full game who will you earn more money from in one month?
On the other side some people can leave the sub whenever they want if it was really up to them and not stay with gamepass and then they lose that business from gamers who may only buy one month to play Cod then Microsoft again have lost on a sale of a normal retail price bought game.
Look if Microsoft kept them independent and the games could still be released multiplatform and Xbox get certain perks then so be it that's more than fair if however they take it all away then obviously I don't agree so there has to be some leeway to Microsoft owning Activision.
@Tasuki this isn't just PlayStation this is all platforms I have read online so correct me if I'm wrong but once Microsoft owns Activision they will have their own early releases if they really want too so I doubt it will stop only difference is it will be only on Xbox and maybe PC.
Well that is slightly odd, but knowing somewhere shops or retailers will give it away earlier because of this probably anyway. Some sites do ship early so don't be surprised if people do get them at least a few days earlier.
Gheez this is slightly terrible, two different monopolys and already had bugsnax before, ok so maybe some people new to extra may not have had bugsnax but seriously poor show this month.
Will be on PS Plus Extra one day no doubt. Unless you are really that desperate to play day one then do it otherwise just ask for it for Christmas/Birthday or just wait till it's dirt cheap.
I wouldn't mind one so I just decided to watch a review and the guy said from full charge and you run say God Of War it only had 90 minute run time. Also when charging and playing they also said after 5 mins of playing it lost 6% of charge while plugged in, they even tried their Macbook Pro charger that is 85watt charger and it still drained.
On their website they have the Xbox version (same layout, controls just different icons) they have it for either Apple or Android so this will most likely work for Android.
@themightyant I agree with the price point. I don't mind it will be packing some good tech and if people are saying it's going to be one of the best headsets on the market then no one will really want to complain paying a fair bit of money for it.
I need to renew so I was going to renew end of the month but there is no trial on the phone app so I am not sure either it isn't viewable on their or I am just not able to view cos I had premium before.
@NEStalgia saying you are surprised it wouldn't surprise me if Sony make this their last one only because it's their trend with products sadly they discontinue but I loved the PSVR and I feel with this new one they may just hit the right note and will progress.
On that note I would like another handheld or even make a Vita2 maybe as the Switch is great and Sony would do well with a docking system even if it was just a streaming platform.
@NEStalgia I was only thinking the other day I'm sure the Red dead redemption 2 had been on the PS Now service for a long way before this new tier system, I honestly thought it had left and came back but never noticed if it had or not as I stopped subbing to Now a while ago.
Self explanatory they rotate and if your plus expires you cannot play the games instead they remove them. They will just lock as you don't legally own them as it's a subscription
Just paid for premium to upgrade for 6 days £1.40 on plus to make a decision to see if I want to stay at premium. Shopto sell a £100 voucher just over £89 so I'll see then.
I personally feel they could have sold this as an add-on to the already F1 game coming out to save money for people, if FIFA can do a career mode I'm sure they could do the same with this.

@LN78 you'll be surprised in the UK you could pick up a ps5 pretty much every week now, always usually in stock.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Redesign to Feature Detachable Disc Drive
@UltimateOtaku91 the commenter above you made a valid point it makes more sense to sell the console this way.
My opinion I think it's a good idea with only needing one set of plates to make because of one console and can be replaced if it becomes broken.

Re: Harry Potter Game Hogwarts Legacy's PS5, PS4 Special Editions May Have Leaked
Not unusual though, FIFA and some other games have been the same being released earlier if you spend more money.
One way to force people to buy those editions I suppose if they want to play it early.

Re: Reaction: PS Plus' PS5, PS4 Restart Is Welcome and Smart

Re: PSA: PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Removed from the Service Aren't Yours to Keep
Self explanatory they rotate and if your plus expires you cannot play the games instead they remove them. They will just lock as you don't legally own them as it's a subscription

Bargain for extra at £77.85 on Shopto, what I like about shopto.
