@hoffa007 my concern is tracking at the moment I’m not able to track. I’ve had hospital letters arriving over a week late which was sent first class so hopefully I’m wrong with my concerns but yes Yodel / Hermes or any them I can’t stand
Got Thursday/Friday off but might cancel Thursday now.
Gone to check my pre order and Game have changed my delivery from DPD Pre 12pm to Royal Mail first class without telling me or refunding me the extra delivery I chose to pay for.
My post has been unreliable recently so not expecting to get it at launch now.
Edit:If anyone else ordered with same option I’d suggest checking your orders from game as it seems to have happened to few others when I look on Twitter.
@starbuck2212 It’s the fact I got have media blackout for some games that’s what irritates me most 😅😂 I’ll be fine though but yes it’s going be long painful week haha
@MFTWrecks nah you got it wrong. You make one group for your 4 friends.
You can either message the group or make a party at any time from the group you make.
Once party made the other 3 can join or ignore it. There is no chat invites just a notification when someone starts the groups party chat.
I probably done a terrible job at explaining it here ha. But basically if you play with same people one group will do the job and never need to invite anyone again.
I actually find this update good. It works perfect for me as I don’t need to invite anyone anymore.
For people who play with loads of different people this is horrible
One thing I’d like to see is if a ps now games is ongoing access or the date it leaves.
I can see which games are no longer available as they have a lock but for example. Metro Exodus is on my now list but when does it become unavailable via now ( I vaguely remember it’s removed in November I believe)
I preorder this game month ago digitally with some vouchers I was gifted. Crazy to think that I’ll now be predownloading it on PS4 to copy to a PS5 to play 😂
If you have an external save your games to the external plug it into PS5 copy to system. That surely the easiest way to get your games ? Saves I guess still got use plus cloud unless can copy that to external as well.
@Vyns it’s all personal preference, some people like extra challenge of collecting them. Others couldn’t care less. There was an incentive to get them in USA where earned reward points to use in a store but I think that got discontinued. If that was brought back world wide it would be certainly worth more getting them.
@Friendly the important number here isn’t install base it’s subscribers which sits at 15m the £1 deal helped them reach 10m its now about pricing it to gain and hold onto subscribers. Still very impressive start but still big gap to make money from it.
@Dave81j6 gamepass is already losing money this just increases the loss
They admitted they want to take the short term hit on it but it’s what happens after that. Hopefully the get the user numbers to keep cost down otherwise price will shoot up.
Either way I’m fascinated / impressed by the gamble they taking on it. Good for consumers now so hopefully that continues and no drop in quality
Xbox must be planning an increase to cost of game pass within first few years of next gen.
I can’t see how their model is sustainable, spending $7.5 billion on studio
Losing money on console
Losing money in software sales with game pass impact
To keep the quality of games up game pass will need to be more expensive to buy.
PS Plus - £39.99 PS Now - £39.99 EA Access - £19.99
So basically Sony just combine Now and Plus and make it cheaper then that’s cheaper than Ultimate and I believe Now has over 600 games. I don’t know what Game pass has.
You can Stream to PC VIA PS Now / Remote play (Not as good as Xbox option)
You can play PS games on mobile by remote play. Doubt streaming PS NOW this method would work but the downloadable games will work. (Again not as good)
Sony has lot to announce still but depending on how they play this they can match / better game pass in some aspects. Interested to see what happens
@JohnKarnes not knocking the game just by that point I was pretty tired of how dull and slow the show was and this announcement just added to it more for me personally.
Honestly felt it should just been YouTube trailer like the Overwatch stories not slammed into middle of 2 hour stream taking up 5-10mins or whatever it was.
It was nice to see little extension on what we had already seen but fact this ended show. Showed how dire the show was. There wasn’t really anything we hadn’t seen gameplay wise already.
Good to get confirmation it’s in launch windows and will be day one like all the other games for me
Incredibly disappointing I think this is the worse show I have watched live. I didn’t have high expectations to start either but these updates on games we heard of just showed stuff I’d already seen.
It really should never have been a 2 hour show. I don’t understand what the awards thing was about at all, The dragon age and wow section took up so much time to say nothing. Saying every 5 minutes ratchet and clank and fall guys later in show just got tiresome.
I did like look Lego Star Wars I feel I had to say something good about it and I hadn’t seen that. Anything else new I’d forgotten about already or can’t play as it not on ps.
Nice watch dogs 2 is game I kept debating and never got in the end. Really enjoying PlayStation now.I had doubt over getting it but had it for 3months now, got it for year when there was promotion on store for it and then extended it by an extra year with days of play sale. Definitely getting my moneys worth out of it
I have feeling the part where Clanks says “where are we” is Jak and Daxter universe , I’m probably over thinking but would be cool nod towards the game like they used to do
I’ve had rewards previously for getting platinums in games bloodborne gave a theme. I’m sure another did too but can’t remember which. More this would be nice

Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Media Apps, Explains Dedicated Entertainment Space
I hope Sky make a much better app this time round. I use it often on my PS4 but the app is just horrible.

Re: PS Store Is Integrated into PS5, Means Instantaneous Access
I’m hoping that PS NOW is the same as well then this UI update is perfect for me

Re: Soapbox: The Week After PS5's Showcase, Sony Told Us Nothing About Its Next-Gen Console

Re: Poll: Has Xbox's Bethesda Buyout Made You Reconsider a PS5 Purchase?
I still have back log of PS4 games i’m chipping away at.
I buy subscriptions when on sale so have:
2 years ps now
3 years ps+
Xbox is looking like nice deal but it’s not going to change my plans as I have more than enough to keep me busy on PS5.

At the moment though gamepass is insane value.
Re: You'll Still Have to Pay for EA Play Independently on PS5, PS4
So quick google for 12 months.
GAME Pass Ultimate - £99
PS Plus - £39.99
PS Now - £39.99
EA Access - £19.99
So basically Sony just combine Now and Plus and make it cheaper then that’s cheaper than Ultimate and I believe Now has over 600 games. I don’t know what Game pass has.

Re: Mafia III Story DLC Is Now Free for Everyone
This is actually nice touch, considering this was a plus game as well. That’s means some people will have got the whole things for free.
Re: PlayStation Now More Than Doubles Its Subscriber Count in a Year
I recently subscribed the other week when it was on offer and definitely think it was worth the money and plan to keep it now.
I don’t have the best of internet and was surprised with how well the PS3 games have worked for me.
Had the odd rare lag spike but most time I can play for hours with no issues and all the PS4 games are downloadable so no issues with any them at all.
Re: Reaction: State of Play's Ghost of Tsushima Deep Dive Feels Like the Future of the Format
