Glad this turned out well. One to add to the wishlist for sales.

At times like this I'm kind of glad I get such severe motion sickness - it removes at a stroke all the temptation I'd otherwise get for a piece of tech like this!

It'll be slouching on the sofa with a cuppa, some snacks and a dualsense controller for me. Looks great though, glad Sony have delivered. 😀

I've nearly bought Ace Combat 7 so many damn times. Almost more excited about finally getting to play that than all the other amazing games on there.

Really something for everyone this month.

Absolutely amazing month 👍👍👍

@Toypop I think the game runs great on PS5. I was intending to wait for a sale but, like many others, just decided to go ahead and buy. No regrets no buyers remorse at all, love the game and I'm not even a Potter fan.

@Toypop I don't think Digital Foundry are going to cover it anyway.

Just watched their latest Direct on YouTube, and the sight of Leadbetter spending a couple of minutes trying to wriggle his way out of any commitment to review it was cringe worthy in the extreme, and was enough to garner an unsub from me after years of following their content.

It was plain embarrassing.

Sites like Eurogamer are gonna have to get creative with their redacting if they really want to keep up their silly pretence that this game doesn't exist.

Great article! More features like this please, less 'what did you think of X/Y/Z'!

@R_Ryder In a hundred years time, when all of us are gone, millions of children (and adults) around the world will still be reading Harry Potter every year.

This furore will have achieved precisely nothing in the long term popularity of HP and they should realise this and get on with enjoying the short time we get on this planet. History won't even remember their 'protest' as an irrelevance.

@danlk1ng £26 for Last of Us Part 1 sounds fair enough for anyone interested (Turkey PSN)

Art of Rally for a fiver was my only purchase from this one 👍

@TripleKing333 I agree, but to be fair it's usually the other way round and you have articles about digital sales filled by people saying how much better (they believe) discs are, even though it has no relevance.

This means I can make my giant poo pool in the middle of my cities in even higher resolution??

I am excite.

@Saitama117 Also, the trans boycott brigade are going to become a textbook example of The Streisand Effect for this game.

Their noise, far from reducing coverage and sales as they hope, is going to cause exactly the opposite!

@Saitama117 I'm not interested in the Potter scene per se, but the game has reviewed very well and I'm buying it for exactly the same reason.

@Tharsman So it's practically everyone else posting on here that's wrong and need 'educating'? Nah, you're alright.

Imagine going into Waterstones to buy a Harry Potter book and being lectured to by the shop assistant about how nasty JK Rowling is.

That doesn't happen because they're booksellers, not politicians or activists.

@Cpt-Price probably half of that amount still readable

@SJBUK couldn't agree more than with your last three paragraphs. Says it all 👍

Why would she care? She got paid, end of story for her I suspect.

Michael Caine was once asked about the (awful) Jaws: The Revenge movie he 'starred' in:

"Mr Caine, have you seen the movie?"

Caine:
"No, but I've seen the house it paid for."

@thechetearly yeah, same here.

One of my favourite last gen games, but I just found even with the PS5 patch it hasn't held up well over the years. The animations, UI, combat. Not good.

Glad in a way....saves me a hundred hours or so of my life going through it all again.

@NinjaNicky if you remember, it was the same for the first few years of the PS4, even worse I'd say.

Guess I'm the only one wanting to try out running a restaurant with A Chef's Life then

@jimbouk 'Physical'?

What, with those fragile plastic 'disc' things that you have to push into the console every time you want to play a particular game?

How quaint!

Picked up Two Point Campus via my Turkey account for quite the bargain at £12

Thought it was awful. Boring AF.

Appreciate that most have a different opinion, but I found this episode boring AF.

@daveofduncan been using a Turkish PSN account for past year or so. No hassle once it's set up, games about half the price of UK, and you can still play via your UK account anyway.

Even if they close the loophole at some point, I've still saved loads.

If 'coming back and biting on your ass' means all the above, then sure, I've been bitten.

Enjoy paying twice as much for your purchased games. 🤣🤣🤣

Haven't even completed Hitman 2 or 3, and now I get given THIS?!

Embarrassment of riches.

Shame they kept the awful PS shaped button tho instead of going back to the much nicer feeling round one from the dualshocks.

Have had my PS5 since launch day and still hate the horrible feel of the edges of that 'button' under my thumb.

@NEStalgia And who wants to play a bad game, even when they dump it on Plus? I know I don't. More than enough decent 'free' stuff that I don't have time to get through as it is.

Sony sure effed up on this one.

Don't bother, we all knew it was crap after the demo. Their 'selected' media have trashed it anyway!

And a 6 from IGN? By their scoring, it must be REALLY bad. 🤣

Time to scuttle this turd.

If it ever comes to Plus then yeah I'll give it a whirl. Otherwise, nope. Not for any price.

I put Dead Cells ahead of Gungeon, but behind Isaac, in my trinity of most enjoyed Roguelik/t/es.

@Titntin Really not worth it if it does that to you...I know that feeling, and I don't ever want to experience how nauseous VR made me, ever again.

Oops! You'd think that would have been checked before putting the article up.

Ah well.

Went through this first time around - great memories but too big and too much other stuff to do it all again.

Great for new players to enjoy though.

@InvaderJim but if you're someone who has no actual interest in discs, then the saving on the console itself is real because without the digital edition you'd have to pay the full price for a console with a disc drive you'd never use.

The point that many disc users miss is that plenty of people simply don't want to mess about with them anymore. the cost vs convenience is a thing. it doesn't come down to 'disc game is cheaper therefore digital is wrong.'

@Unlucky13 that'll be PS6. One SKU, and pay extra for a drive then if you really want one. Which is actually how it is this gen anyway - everyone who wanted the disc drive has paid near £100 more for it.

Or to turn that around, those of us who never had any interest in discs and wouldn't have bought any physical games regardless have saved £100 on the console.

@lindos 😂😂

Don't give them ideas! And if they did run that, you'd get loads on here saying how they will ONLY use their expensive charging station rather than any old usb-c cable that happens to work just as well.

I'm with you, haven't used discs for years for games, films, music, anything. Would feel like I'd gone back to VHS-era (and yes, I was there)

Most people who bought the digital edition as a considered purchase have zero interest in discs, so pointless. And those who still want discs already have the disc edition, so pointless.

The trojan horse here is that Sony are preparing the ground for the PS6, which it seems likely won't come with a drive at all as standard, and anyone who wants one will have to pay up more for the add-on. That's the way the wind is blowing, like it or not.

Makes no difference to me, because I gave up on discs years ago for all media.

@Toypop Exactly this. The beauty of free markets - people earn their money and have a right to spend however much they want on whatever they want. It's not for anyone else to tell them they're 'wrong'.

@JohnSmitheroo Don't be concerned. Many of us are quite happy with the hardware, the games and the services. I'm sure Sony will manage just fine.

Not much point MS buying studios if the best talent like this walks out of them 😀
