If Microsoft's "disc is a key to download" somehow works (slightly confused as to how) then Sony's defence will look about as stable as a jelly on a unicycle.
One of the few games worth playing on the PS5 generation so far - even if it didn't get a physical release (on topic)!
Probably liked it as it had a PS3/PS4 era vibe about it and was all the better for it.
Been tinkering around with PCs since the days of MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, I'm that old, and they have become infinitely easer to set up so I would have no qualms about going PC for my next gaming experience.
Not overly keen on Windoze 11 but what can you do? It's a bit like going from the superior 4's UI to the 5's UI.
Would I leave the PS behind? Well, not entirely as I still have a PS4 Pro and a PS5. What would probably happen is I'd sell one of them (probably the 5) and then use the money towards a PC.
The PS4 backlog is long and varied so that'd keep me busy for many years to come.
After this dismal PS5 generation, I I can't see me giving way to FOMO and buying another generation of PS.
@djlard Yep, looked high and low for Avowed on disc but guess what? I assumed M$ would follow suit as per Starfield and release it physically but no, so there's a digital only purchase that I had no choice in.
I bought a LOT of games on the PS4, 90% physical - only digital when there was no disc version.
On the PS5, I think I've bought about 4 games - most of which have failed to engage me.
So, going forward, I could easily sell the PS5 with its SSD, keep the old PS4 Pro with its massive backlog and USB backups, and either go PC and/or Switch 2.
Sony have burned a lot of bridges with their attitude in the PS5 era and it doesn't look any better in the upcoming next-gen. Been a Sony advocate for almost 30 years and never thought I would be anything else but they can shove their oversized, overpriced, ungainly console (with an attachable disc drive) up where the sun doesn't shine.
PS is all about the almighty dollar now - strange how they've gone down in everyone's view in just 1 generation. Can't see this iteration going back on their profits forecasts.
I won't be buying any more consoles, controllers or any PS+ subs from Fony in future. If the PS5 dies, I'll boot up the trusty old PS4 and go out and buy a Switch 2.
Went to cancel mine months ago (before Fony showed their true colours) and they offered me a 12 month Essential for £45. Bad luck Sony, because I won't be renewing next year unless you revert your stance on discs.
Hitting 'em in the bank balance is the only way to let them know we aren't happy with the way that PS is going. Been with them about 29 years but no more.
I've got a large PS4 backlog - no need for a disc-less console and disc-less distribution. If that's how Sony are going to be, I'm out. I've already lost a lot of faith during the vile PS5 era but this really could be the final nail in the coffin.
Be interesting if M$ pivot and DO release a console with a disc drive - oh how the tables will have been turned on Sony from the infamous 'how to share games on the PS4' video and all because Sony want a bit more profit for its shareholders rather than listening to its customers.
I've signed the petition as I rather like paying £20 less for a game on disc than from the rip-off store.
However, I don't think the petition will have much of an impact at Sony HQ. Why? Because this current incarnation of Sony doesn't care about anything other than the almighty dollar (now PS are 'Mercains).
Only way to damage Sony is to not buy their stuff - from consoles, controllers, PS+ subs and only when their profits slump will the shareholders start kicking off.
Thankfully, with the eye-watering price of their 6 year old tech and the projected price of the PS6, plus an inability to play games installed from disc, those days might come sooner rather than later.
Sony are in their arrogant PS3 mode at the moment and only a kick in the bank balance will bring them round.
PS5 numbers have already fallen off a cliff so I can easily see this struggling to get off the ground unless the price drops a lot.
Only the most rabid PS owners will be eager to get their hands on it just to say that they have one.
What can they do when their new mission statement is to screw over loyal and new users alike? Switch 2 numbers will be rising given this "no physical" announcement and there's no chance Nintendo will follow suit.
Only thing they could do it to reverse these stupid policies and get more fan friendly.
I mean, can anyone imagine this s*** show in the days of Shawn Layden and Shuhei Yoshida? It all went wrong when Layden was ousted so they could put an accountant in charge of the PS division.
@BlueLobster Yep, same here - still got the A1200 in the loft but coming from the ZX Spectrum & C64 era, I'm not averse to using a computer for gaming so maybe that's the way to go? I've had a Playstation, PS2, PS3 (fat and slim), PS4 (original & Pro) and a PS5 fatty with disc drive. Maybe this is the point I part ways with Sony's anti-consumer business model?
If I can't get physical games for the PS5/6, often for a much cheaper price than the $ony $tore, then it makes me wonder why I'd bother hanging around for this to happen.
Might flog the overweight Tub o' Lard and SSD expansion to put towards a Switch 2 and some physical media before working my way through the PS4's mainly disc based backlog.
Wanted to play Avowed. Could I buy it on disc (like other MS games, such as Starfield)?
No, so had to wait until it was on offer on the store - wanted to buy a disc but they couldn’t be arsed to print one.
I think I'll be bogging off back onto the PS4 and 5 and work my way through the backlog until Fony come to their senses. Bring back Shawn Layden.
Sony hasn't managed to emulate the PS3 at anything approaching a reasonable speed on the wheezing PS5 so the only PS3 option is to play discs with patches downloaded on a physical PS3 but I assume that goes away once the PS3 store closes?
Only option will be to make sure everything is patched up to the hilt and then back up the entire PS3....before going to buy a Switch 2.
So long Sony! Been an avid supporter since the original PlayStation though that has waned in this money-grabbing PS5 era and now you've just put the final nail in the coffin! Might as well decamp to Nintendo and their weird cartridges.
@Porco I remember a comment about the PS5 from Jimbo Ryan in about 2021, saying that the digital only one was already at break even point and that the disc model was soon to follow suit. Not surprising given the initial price of £450 which soon increased for those of us outside of the USA to £480 and now we stand at an eye-watering £570 for the same-spec base console.
PS3 was subsidised to claw some market share against the X360 given the amount of hardware packed in it (Blu-ray drive, WiFi card, etc.)
Don't think the PS4 needed it (started at a reasonable £350 but was soon available for £300) and Sony are too greedy these days to take a hit on the PS5.
@Flaming_Kaiser I think it'd sell! That said, my old Pro already has a quick SATA 3 SSD but the SSD (Crucial 1TB MX500) which I bought a few years ago for about £40 is now retailing at about £180 for a used one or £240 for a new one!
@Dogbreath You've just shown your age mentioning fast-loading cassettes (I remember them too) but you seem to have forgotten the RF aerial connection!
I plugged my old Amiga 1200 into our TV a few months ago and the display worked fine for the best version of Sensible Soccer.
The Japanese clearly don't want it. Nothing new particularly Japan-centric and everything else is a remaster of things on the PS4. Japan lost faith in Sony's gaming platforms after the Vita got stabbed in the back.
I'll wait until the "physical" release comes down to about £40-50 and the game is stable.
Given the PS5's blu-ray discs are ~100GB of compressed storage, surely most of this game could've been fitted on one disc? I appreciate that every game these days has a day 1 patch but it makes me wonder how broken this game is if they couldn't make the release go gold with a physical disc?
Think I'll boot up the old PS4 Pro until this 'in yer face' advertising is done. Perhaps there are some advantages to only having stability/security updates now?
I seem to remember Jim Ryan saying during his tenure that the PS5 digital was breaking even on production costs and he expected the PS5 disc version to soon follow.
Since then, we've gone from £450 to £480 to the (frankly laughable) £570 for a base PS5. The slim is cheaper to produce than the original fatties but I appreciate that there's been a cost increase for components.However, a £120 increase per console covers that. Sony selling consoles at a loss? I don't think so.
What they are likely to suffer from is component shortages - not enough bits to build said consoles.
Oh, and for all those PS5 Pro owners, if the base PS5 can't run something don't expect a Pro only version - ain't going to happen. Same limitation as was put on the PS4 Pro.
If anyone with half a brain still wants a PS5, they'd just look at the used ones at various sellers such as Music Magpie, CEX, Cash Converters, etc. and save a couple of a hundred quid and get a comparable or longer warranty than the Sony one.
That statement smacks of an imminent price rise. I managed to get a year's Essential for £45. Wasn't going to renew but when I got through to the cancel "are you sure?" option on the website, I got an offer of a year for £45?
Personally, Essential for about £40 would be about right. I let mine lapse a while ago and, to be honest, I didn't miss it or the mediocre games. Only annoying part is the lack of offline game backups.
A free upgrade is nice - now any PS4 owners who can be arsed just need to stump up somewhere from £600 to £1000 for an ageing games system. Still don't think PS5 sales will get much of a bump.
Had a fun time with Avowed but now I'm back onto Diablo 4 and Dragon Age (which I am also rather enjoying)
@SuntannedDuck2 My PS4 is running fine, but the PS5 keeps popping up messages saying that it's lost the network connection, even though it's about 2 feet from the router which is on, connected and talking to everything else without a problem?
Then again, Sony were quite happy to close down the LBP servers, including all the recently uploaded MM objects and textures, due to them being unable to block DOS attacks.
This update is more for Sony's benefit rather than owners. That said, still got ye olde Pro and it's still running smooth and quiet.
Keep hoping Sony will add some of those QoL features from the PS4 back into the PS5's miserable UI but no doubt they won't as there's no cash in it for them.
Still people banging on about the SSD for this game?
Rift Apart is OK but Tools Of Destruction was a better game - which also had stunning visuals (for the PS3 era) and 'innovative' (but irritating) controls. It's Insomniac doing what they've always done very well.
Sarah Bond clearly had no idea as to how exclusives prop up console brands. Without exclusives, the Xbox was a sinking ship - something I think even Phil Spencer realised - so perhaps they’ve realised that with the new box (Helix being a sort of break from Xbox) and exclusives, they could stand a chance of turning the tides. Whether they'll still come 3rd against Sony and Nintendo, who knows, but at least they might be relevant.
With those eye-watering prices, I do wonder if even GTA6 will make that much of a bump. GTA6 will be bought by people who already own a PS5 but the prohibitive cost could make no difference to the number of consoles sold if PS4 users aren't bothered by the game.
