My biggest gripe against Sony is them not allowing third party retailers to sell games like Microsoft do. I know you can get the wallet vouchers cheaper and do it like that but I’d prefer the actual games to be able to be brought elsewhere than paying full price on store.
Be interesting to see if they do hit their figure, especially when they've had sales on in the UK for a while now and will continue over the next few weeks.
I know some will say I'm part of the problem but once you start going digital fully it's quite hard buying physical again, I find anyway.
Yes, I would like to see some sort of returns for digital, as you say 1-2 hours. I know MS do offer refunds if you've played less than 2 hours but I think it is limited to few times a year.
I'd also love to see some sort of digital trade-in system, i.e. you could sell the licence back and get some sort of store credit. It will never happen mind lol
I personally prefer digital now (bar Nintendo Switch games) and have been for a good few years, but I hope the option remains there for those to buy physical for PS/Xbox who still to do.
Sega will be the next big one that they try to go for in my opinion, as it addresses more of their Mobile play with Sega acquiring Rovello and more content from Japan.
Although I hope the brakes are stopped for a while at least.
I will jump into the beta over the weekend. Can’t expect much has changed in terms of actual gameplay but the nostalgia from the MW2 maps will be good.
Seems a bit far fetching for me, but I do agree I think it's needed. I want to see what Sony have got coming 1P wise after Spider Man. I also want to see where is Stellar blade lol
@GamingFan4Lyf Don't forget the Xbox game uses the cloud in some element. I'd be intrigued to see how that works with a horror title.

Re: Don't Expect Any More Awesome Olympics Games from SEGA on PS5, PS4
Damn. Enjoyed some of the previous ones
Re: Xbox Game Hi-Fi Rush Announced for PS5, Out Next Month
Loved it on Xbox so will double dip for PS.
Re: Sony Plans to Improve Profit Margins with 'Aggressive' PC Release Strategy
Yeah I suspect the timeframe between PS5 and PC will be a lot shorter than it is currently. Day and date on the live service games.
Really interesting few years ahead.
Re: Xbox's Multiplatform Plans to Be Revealed on Thursday
Some rumors there's a Nintendo Direct this day too, wonder if they will announce a HiFi rush port there.
I suspect we will get some updates, but I don't think it's going to be as big as people are expecting. Maybe some change around Game Pass
Re: Persona 3 Reload Is Atlus' Fastest Selling Game Ever
Amazing what happens when they go on PC too day one.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Pre-Orders Go Live, Two Versions to Choose From
@Rob_230 yep that’s where I’ve ordered it from. Got it at 53.95. Seems to be far cheaper than anywhere else at the moment
Re: Rumour: Xbox Console Exclusive Starfield Is Setting a Course for PS5
@RudeAnimat0r we will see how long that lasts if everything comes over.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Console Exclusive Starfield Is Setting a Course for PS5
They really are going the Sega route
Re: Friendly Fire at the Core of Helldivers 2, All for a Good Laugh and Chaos
When is the review embargo? Anyone know?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 514
Infinite wealth and Tekken for me on PS5, and will start dabbling into P3 on Xbox
Re: Evidence of Rockin' Xbox Exclusive Hi-Fi Rush Coming to PS5 Continues to Mount
Will happily pick up again if it comes to PS5. Really enjoyed on Xbox.
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League (PS5) - Rocksteady's Big Gamble Just About Pays Off
I picked it up as got it on a discount, but its good to see it's not being ripped apart everywhere.
Re: Kaitlyn Dever Will Play Abby in HBO's The Last of Us Season 2
Great actress, very intrigued to see how she gets on in the role.
Someone also tell her to get off social Media.
Re: Podcast Chit-Chat Prompts Fresh Xbox First-Party on PS5, PS4 Rumours
Jeff Grubb reporting that Sea of Thieves might also be coming, in addition to a few others.
Re: Court Rules £5 Billion Lawsuit Against Sony Can Go Ahead, Following Years of 'Excessive' PS Store Prices
My biggest gripe against Sony is them not allowing third party retailers to sell games like Microsoft do. I know you can get the wallet vouchers cheaper and do it like that but I’d prefer the actual games to be able to be brought elsewhere than paying full price on store.
Re: Talking Point: Like Japanese Games? Early 2024 Is Going to Destroy You
Yeah it's a good year for Japanese games next year. Looking forward to FF7 Rebirth.
Re: PS Store Plummets the Price of Over 1,000 PS5, PS4 Games
@LordAinsley yeah looks like it is on Extra too
Re: PS Store Plummets the Price of Over 1,000 PS5, PS4 Games
Call of the Sea is worth a play at that price. Not a long one but quite good
Re: Acclaimed Indie Game Planet of Lana Makes the Leap to PS5, PS4 in 2024
I enjoyed it earlier in the year. Nice little game.
Re: PS5's Install Base Closes on 50 Million As Sony Gets Increasingly Aggressive
Be interesting to see if they do hit their figure, especially when they've had sales on in the UK for a while now and will continue over the next few weeks.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Sales Swing Past 5 Million Units Milestone
Great to see, even if that does include the units they bundled with the PS5s.
Be interesting to see what it ends up with over the christmas run.
Re: Embracer Collapse Continues, with TimeSplitters Dev Allegedly Next on the Chopping Block
Sony or MS need to get in there before Embracer end up destroying all their studios. You could tell it was coming from a mile off.
Re: The Battle for Game of the Year in a Superb 2023 Begins on Monday
It will be either Zelda or BG3 in my opinion.
Re: Sony Reveals iSIZE Acquisition, Not a Games Developer
I would suspect this acquisition is in mind to cloud streaming and the ability to stream games.
Re: The First PS5 Slim Has Been Spotted, Release Date Likely Imminent
@Grumblevolcano I suspect you'll see Kojima at Geoff's TGA show.
Re: Poll: Spider-Man 2 PS5 Bugs are Apparently a Real Problem, But Have You Had Any?
Yes, I’ve had a few but nothing major - just a few times I’ve had to do a manual save and jump back in.
Re: Persona 4 Golden Physical Pre-Orders Begin from 27th October
@Rafie no need to get snappy lol
You can probably work it out - two words, that are Microsoft and money.
Re: Persona 4 Golden Physical Pre-Orders Begin from 27th October
@Rafie it’s because there isn’t a PS5 version. On PS it’s the PS4 version that runs on PS5.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Is Immediately the Fastest-Selling PlayStation Studios Game Ever
Great to see. Doesn’t have the same effect for me the first did but none the less really enjoying.
Re: PlayStation Allegedly Under Pressure to Make Major Gaming Acquisitions
They don’t need to do anything lol
Just carry on what they’ve been doing for the last 10 years
Re: September 2023 Circana: PS5 Still on Top Despite Chart-Topping Starfield
@Gunnerzaurus
It's something to do with Larian not reporting numbers or being part of the digital sales reports? Something like that I saw Matt Piscatella saying
Re: September 2023 Circana: PS5 Still on Top Despite Chart-Topping Starfield
Surprised to Starfield at number 1, although it’s good to see given it’s only on Xbox and PC and on Game Pass.
No real surprises anywhere else - good to see Mortal Kombat do well
Re: Roblox Is Already Tangling with Call of Duty, Fortnite as the Most Played Game on PS5, PS4
@BeerIsAwesome ahh I see. Makes a lot of sense.
Re: Gollum May Not Be the Worst PS5, PS4 Game of the Year After All
I was intrigued when they announced it
My intrigueness can stay on the shelf, oh my word.
Re: Roblox Is Already Tangling with Call of Duty, Fortnite as the Most Played Game on PS5, PS4
What was the reason Sony never allowed it in the past?
Re: US Retail Giant Best Buy Allegedly Binning Physical Media

I know some will say I'm part of the problem but once you start going digital fully it's quite hard buying physical again, I find anyway.

Re: Microsoft Activision Deal Finally Given the All-Clear from UK Regulator
@BeerIsAwesome I would agree.
Re: Microsoft Activision Deal Finally Given the All-Clear from UK Regulator
@MagisterMagi
Sega will be the next big one that they try to go for in my opinion, as it addresses more of their Mobile play with Sega acquiring Rovello and more content from Japan.
Although I hope the brakes are stopped for a while at least.
Re: Microsoft Activision Deal Finally Given the All-Clear from UK Regulator
I suspect the comments will be all nice and calm in the next hour lol
In all seriousness I hope they get the studios off COD and get them to do revive some of those dormant IPs.
Re: Activision Boss Hints a Guitar Hero Revival Could Be on the Cards
Would love to see Guitar Hero return. Many hours were lost on Legends of Rock and World Tour.
Re: PS5 Slim Officially Unveiled, Attachable Disc Drive, Launches November
Won't be any need for me but I like the design, and options.
That price increase on the digital is a bit of a pain though, and the vertical stand being sold seperate.
Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Reveals Incoming, PS5, PS4 Beta Begins This Weekend
I will jump into the beta over the weekend. Can’t expect much has changed in terms of actual gameplay but the nostalgia from the MW2 maps will be good.
Re: Rumour: State of Play Incoming? Death Stranding 2 Dev Photo Seems to Suggest Showcase
Seems a bit far fetching for me, but I do agree I think it's needed. I want to see what Sony have got coming 1P wise after Spider Man. I also want to see where is Stellar blade lol

Re: Alan Wake 2 Has a Performance Mode on PS5, But It's Been Built as a '30FPS Experience'
Really looking forward to this.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential Games for October Leaked
I didn’t think Callisto was that bad - worth the download and giving a go imo.
Re: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Managed 4 Million Players In Its First Month
I mostly enjoyed although it wasn’t a game I could spend hours in playing at a time.
These MP style games are normally the good ones for subscriptions
Re: The Crew Motorfest Outpaces Predecessors with the Series' Biggest Launch Ever
About 7 hours in and I’ve been really enjoying it. They’ve done a good job this year.
Re: Tomb Raider Developer Crystal Dynamics Hit with Layoffs as Embracer Crumbling Continues
@Fiendish-Beaver I agree.
Re: Tomb Raider Developer Crystal Dynamics Hit with Layoffs as Embracer Crumbling Continues
Crystal will end up under MS in my opinion. Dont forget that they are also supporting with Perfect Dark.
