I’m about to replace my DualSense batteries. I have two launch controllers that can’t squeeze out 30 minutes without dying.

I’ll watch it but my better (non-gaming) half gave up on season 2 and has sworn the series off.

Cool story. Loving the game!

My era. The Spielberg kids who gamed on the 2600 and came to age listening with the Seattle Sound movement. This will be a full price, Day One purchase. Gotta show the indie devs some love!

I bought it but damn…that price point is really hard to justify. I’m enjoying it for a quick jump in and jump out but I know I’ll have to be locked in if I want to do a serious run.

I’ll need a guide to get through the tunnel system again, but I’ll give it a go in VR. It’ll be interesting to see how the video rendering works in VR.

The amount of research needed to determine if games I’ve purchased meet the 4/2019 to 12/2023 window isn’t worth the change it’s get me in return. $7.8 million for a class action suit is trivial in today’s terms, and once you take at least 40% for attorney fees and costs…

I can attest that I qualify but I’m not going to waste an hour to earn $20-$40. Not worth it.

Props to Microsoft for the VR update! Now all I need is a decent sale.

I thought the primary console didn’t require an online check in. Has that changed? I remember the PS3 letting you share games across 5 consoles until Sony reduced it to 2, but I haven’t heard anything about requiring check-ins for your primary PS4/5 consoles. Curious as to what’s going on with this.

I just started Cyberpunk after the Pro update, so by the time I’m done with that this one should be patched up to the point I’ll be able to get it at a nice discount.

I got a good 3-4 months out of the game and really enjoyed it, but I had my fun and moved on.

But Sony didn’t reduce its pricing. Xbox did. So maybe it’s good for Xbox owners that Sony’s around so Xbox stays competitive?

Damnit! I got shoe! 🙁

Can’t they just make ‘em English royals?

I had interest in Starfield before Bethesda was purchased and it was made an Xbox exclusive. However, once it launched and the reviews rolled in most of my interest died. I’ll get it eventually, but only after it’s 50% or more off. The “launch exclusivity” gave me time to reassess which I thank Microsoft for. Saved me a Day One mistake.

@LifeGirl Loved my 60GB chrome trimmed fat boy. It was expensive, but not much more than a standard Blu-ray player at the time. I kept it until it died. 💀🪦

@Max_the_German It seems to be fine but time will tell. I was waiting for the delivery and updated the status and saw it marked as delivered, even though the doorbell never rang. I went outside and there it was on my side of the gate. I checked my Ring feed to see if I missed him ringing but no, he walked up and tossed it over. It was in Amazon packaging, but still…

I immediately called Amazon (or requested a call back as that was my only option other than chat and eff that) and calmly explained what happened and told them I wanted to return it for a refund. They asked if I’d keep it for a partial refund and I asked what a partial refund would be and was told 10%. I said no as I had no idea if anything happened to its internals and they upped it to 20%. Eventually we came to an agreement with the understanding that I could return in for the remainder of the refund if it went wonky. After, tax got added back as well. Total cost after taxes was $611 flat, which is still cray cray, but a lot better than MSRP.

I upgraded to a Pro and ended up getting $203 taken off of the price because my Ring camera caught the Amazon delivery person tossing it over my 10’ gate.

Anyone who could do basic math knew this wasn’t a sustainable model. The cost of bringing COD into the mix changed everything and opened up their exclusives to competitors’ consoles. The fact that these shifts took place at the exact same time Sony was trashing years of work on live service games was a lucky break for PlayStation owners.

I remember playing this at launch and enjoying it as a time sink and the random discoveries but the fuel and maintenance and storage were huge pains in the ass. What NMS has morphed into is mind blowing. And it supports PSVR2. In retrospect, I’m happy I dropped my money on it Day One, despite its early teething issues.

I started this but fell off. I think this update, with my brand new Pro, will be a great place to restart and give it another go!

Will I get my PS3 digital library back? Probably not.

I put it off until today but looks like I missed it. Had Gears of War, Outer Worlds 2 and Elden Ring which came up to $100 and some change. Now the deal is dead.

Alas…

I was a Pro holdout but I went ahead and bit. I’ll sell my base unit to help offset the cost.

@SMJ
Between Sony’s pivot to live service and mobile, both of which appear to have ended, I’m just happy Xbox became a third party developer.

I’ll play it after it’s free on PS+ or on deep discount.

I bet they set the date at 4/02 because if it went into effect 4/01 people would think it was a joke!

@Quintumply The Dead Space info got included twice (look right after 13 Sentinels).

I’ve waited this long, what’s another year? I’ll star it and think about buying it when it hits 50%+ off or more. I’ll never complete my backlog, so it’s just whatever I’m playing at moment and if I want to squeeze something new in.

Xbox is always welcome to Saturn it.

I’d like to think I’d say no to this, but I recently purchased a vacuum/mop for $1,200 that just lets me bark at my pets as it cleans. So I’m most likely in whatever the PS6 cost.

Sounds like this may fall into my very narrow shooter window. I’ll give the slam a try and offer my opinions after it’s done or I rage quit.

The Activision fallout continues…

Thank God Microsoft is developing games for PlayStation owners.

Jim Ryan’s legacy continues.

Man I miss the days of Shu and Shawn.

Bargain bin buy if I get it. The hype died when it launched.

For a game like Helldivers 2, it just makes sense. I’m open to all live service games being cross platform.

No option for purchasing after a deep discount. I’ve waited this long. What’s another year?

This is the one that didn’t get cancelled???

I’d need to see a re-review (or Push Square review) to determine its current state after its extended launch beta.

@TheFakulty
How recently? You may be able to get a refund.

Remember, Ace Combat 7 supports PSVR! Just not PSVR2, which is garbage.

Burnnnnnnnnn

I managed to let everyone die and never went back.

I thought this was referencing a new dual sense feature where you had to lick the controller.

@themightyant

I had one hour of PSVR2 playtime on my 2025 report. This will up 2026 to at least 2 hours!

Classic:

The voucher code is incorrect or is no longer valid.

Not as impressed with this year’s review, but whatever. 15.4 years as a PlayStation Plus member. Time flies.
