@get2sammyb thanks Sammy. But what does it play like? Is the transfer syste and player growth still ridiculously bad? Player playing in the wrong positions during the season, things that you'd probably only notice playing a season, stuff like that..

@Flaming_Kaiser what a female is is being corrupted too so I'd have to agree with you there

@Flaming_Kaiser people have always been efficient at killing. Difference is we can now do it at a far larger scale. And yet we haven't wiped ourselves out, where as in the past humans commented genocide against other tribes and nations frequently. We are more civilised, which is to our credit. There's no natural reason for us to be civilised, we've done that because we recognise that working together is more beneficial. Let's not overlook the miracle that is our society that spans the entire globe.

Nothing about Career Mode, how it plays, has it finally been improved so it can compete with Master League, is it more than just an afterthought because of UT, this review is incomplete.

And is the game finally better than 2021 Pro Evo to play?

@Member_the_game I get it, but essentially it's the same thing. The price would reflect the DD addition, so effectively selling a Pro at a single price point is a much smarter thing for Sony to do. Also, PS5 bring modular is FAR better than 2 options of PS5 Pro.

@Member_the_game and the one with a drive would cost the same as a Pro and a DD, and the cost of that would, at a physiological level, be percieved as too expensive. Far more so than the Pro. I see why they've done this way. It makes business sense. The flexibility still exists.

@Americansamurai1 nothing costs a lot to produce compared to RRP. A £1500 iPhone costs about a tenth of that to make, according to leaks from Apple. And that'll go for the vast majority of mass produced products. If Sony are killing it it's because they've created a demand, so fair play.

@Tevor humans are capable of incredible love, compassion and understanding. In our own lives people like that far outnumber those who are not. And if that's not the case maybe that person is one of those who is evil. So don't be so hard on humans. Clearly we are more benevolent than we are bad.

@Member_the_game

Fantastic. It's still the best footy game around. What a crying shame they're not making it every year like they did for decades. Nothing comes as close to getting it right.

'Season 3 drew in less than 300 concurrent players..'

@Khayl Come on, you write for a living. Fewer than...

That headline is a shocker. As bad as, 'You won't believe what they look like now!'

DF is just stating the obvious assumptions anyone would make.

If it makes PSN free, go nuts with the ads on the XMB, but if I'm paying to subscribe I don't want ads.

@Member_the_game you can find Option Files online free, but the one I use I bought from PES Universe....

https://efootballuniverse.com/

It's changed its name, apparently. Get yourself a USB stick.

@guntam the article was about fans coming round, so that was I was talking about.

@Member_the_game FIFA still isn't as good as the 2021 update, and it's woeful offline. Career Mode has been broken since forever. I dont play footy online so FIFA will never appeal to me unless Pro Evo is as bad as it was in the PS3 era.

@Member_the_game Master League. Why won't they make it?! It's crazy. I'm still playing the 2021 update. No way I can play that FIFA rubbish.

Fans have never had a problem with the Pro existing. The majority of complaints come from people who aren't fans and aren't going to buy the Pro, and people who never will anyway. And they are the ones who leave the most comments on social media, the complainers.

Yes I did, and I'm looking forward to getting it.

Will PS5 Pro change the story of TLoU2 so I don't hate it as much as I love the first?

'It’s a reminder that, while kneejerk reactions are natural, sometimes it’s best to wait for the full story to emerge before making your mind up on something.'

Probably best for websites to not endlessly source knee jerk reactions and quotes from users on resetera and X for articles and give it a bigger platform, then.

Bungis is abusing donkeys?

The film was cast during Covid. Blanchet is on record saying she didn't care how bad the script was, she just wanted to get out of the house.

@PegasusActual93 phew, lucky what I said is true then 😊

..so say we all.

@Americansamurai1 cool. Now, I just need games to play on it 😁

@Drago201 it's good that they listen, or at least Sammy does 😊

@Americansamurai1 I'd only find it funny as long as I get one 😊👍

@Savage_Joe it will indeed. A two week window of exclusivity to PS Direct is not going to throttle the demand of a product that will be in short supply. And it will actually aid more people getting one as the preorder period is staggered rather than all available at once, where if you're slow, they're gone.

@Savage_Joe scalpers will find it MUCH easier to scalp if its being sold at every retailer. It's not foolproof but at least Sony are trying to mitigate the problem. Look at the bigger picture.

@Savage_Joe the Pro is for enthusiasts, and is priced as an elite version of PS5. Like how there's an Elite version of the Dual Sense that costs 3 times as much.

Anyone interested in the first batch of Pros will know where to shop for it. It being on PS Direct deters scalpers and is a positive move from Sony.

@jrt87 don't know why PS think it's a problem. Seems sensible to me.

@Mostik what do you mean? This is to deter scalpers. Seems like Sony are damned if they do and damned if they don't if you think its wrong to keep orders exclusive to their store got a short period of time.

@Americansamurai1 the orders will be restricted to one per household so scalpers will have to get creative.

@jrt87 with my PSVR2 the money wasn't taken until the order shipped to arrive for release day.

Thank you Sammy for taking the time to put the links to the UK sites. That's actually useful. I will be preordering.

You've always been my favourite 😊

But it isn't an added complication, it's actually a good idea for what should be obvious reasons.

@Mostik agreed. Ultimately when you get a run of articles where one or two would do they are spurrious, just there to funnel us towards that end.

@Jrs1 It's compounded by the fact sometimes they spell in American English 😔

For goodness sake, why do you insist on making the links to US sites instead of UK? I clicked on the Amazon link and its useless to me.

Why is the PS Direct link to the US store and not UK? It baffles me why this site seems to be US-centric.

What is the 1day express or 2day standard shipping? I can't find anything saying there's a choice. Usually shipping is free, is there now a paid 'express' delivery guaranteeing next day?

Bah! Halloween. Awful imported event. It's like everyone's forgotten Guy Fawkes Night. Penny for the Guy?

Will Vampire Survivors be 3D?

@OldGamer999 externally I'd say yes, like with PS5

@Fiendish-Beaver and I don't even do that anymore 😁👍

Did everyone at PS Towers have a race to see who can write at least one article about the Pro and get it published first?

I'm buying one, the price is what I expected for a niche product that has a cheaper version still being sold.

@themightyant I'll get one. I understand it is a niche product and so I'm not too unhappy at the price, i expected it, especially post Covid. I paid £550 for PSVR2 and a PS5 Pro represents better value for money for me and the 4 years or so I expect to play it.

I think there's a lot of knee-jerk reactions going on, which I can understand, but its shortsighted. I'd be FAR more upset of this were the price for a PS6 and my only console option

@Fiendish-Beaver it is the right thing to do. What would've been nice is if the kept the campaign mode as an early release for all. Removing that time-served benefit wasn't something they had to do to ensure parity. Could've kept it quite easily.

"This obviously adds significantly to the £699.99/$699.99 price point, as Sony currently flogs individual disc drives for £99.99/$79.99 on PS Direct. So, you’re looking at almost £799.99/$679.99 "

Lucky Americans! It goes down in price if you buy a disk drive!
