Great article loved reading it. I have always wished I could go to Japan. I know my bank account would take a hard hit. So much I would want to buy and bring home with me.
I own all 99 original pinball tables for pinball FX 3. I became a loyal customer buying each new table at launch because of the free upgrade from PS3 to PS4! No way am I paying $15 per new table or renting tables with pinball pass.
I still use my single launch day controller with out any issues. I have the Sony charger cradle so my controller is always full charge when I pick it up. I have zero need or want for a $200 controller when the one I have works fine for me.
External Drives cost more than internal drives! This will drive the total cost up for the consumer. Like Most I have a PS5 with built in Drive. I have no need for a detachable drive.
I jumped in with the original PSVR day one and loved it at the start. The thing that will stop me from getting PSVR2 is lack of software support. I could be wrong if I am wrong I will pick one up at a later date. I only purchased about 10-15 games one PSVR1. The cost of the hardware with so few titles I would want to play does not justify the cost for me personally.
You know sometimes a locked 30fps makes the game look and play better. People today are just looking for a hill to stand on. If it's that important to you Don't buy the game and forget about it ever being made!! Maybe buy a PC and get the performance you demand for $2K or more.
There is plenty of time left in my one year sub to convince me to stay at the top with premium. For now I am thinking I should have just stayed with PS Plus.
I preordered Cyberpunk 2077. Restarting the game because of a crash really got on my nerves. I still Loved the core game enough to play through one faction to 100% complete all quest and side quest! Then grabbed the platinum on launch PS5. It did still had issues but was much better over all.
So Hell Yeah I will buy the next CyberPunk game DAY ONE!
Great for digital buyers, but I will be waiting on black Friday. I tend to purchase 6-10 physical games on physical copies. I look for any game on sale $19.99 that I don't own at that time.
I was really hoping to play PSVR1 titles on PSVR2. This tells me PSVR2 will be lacking in titles to play for a while. Think I will hold off on day one and wait till it comes back in stock in a year or two. I will get to see how well it's supported in that time.
My PS5 $499.99 PS5 cost me $536.74 because of my State's tax on sales in the USA. Each State has it's own Tax rate we have to pay when purchasing goods.
After posting above the went to Best Buy and preordered the
Saints Row Legacy Edition - PlayStation 5 for $79.99 US. The standard edition is $59.99 US.
I have played every Saints Row game and will continue to purchase them all in the future. I was already going to buy this. Thanks to this review I am also very excited about its release. Good job Push Square.
@kakokaplan Are you new to gaming? What about most MMO games where you can play online PVE? What about No Mans Sky or Fall guys? There are many other games that have co-op online. Most of all why are you yelling, Chill unknown person what I do in life has zero effect on you! I did not say anything about online or off line. I just enjoy PVE more then PVP today.
@nerd7 @Deadhunter I stopped playing PVP around 2014 when I left PC gaming. I still enjoy playing PVE games in multipayer. No doubt PVP is the biggest part of gaming, but after 40 years of the die/spawn thing it just got old to me.
Crash Bandicoot 4 is enough to make me happy. I don't mind Man of Medan being a double dip either because I can keep it in my library. On top of this Stray is coming!
Missing 7 of the 30 games listed only because I didn't want them. I am always surprised how many people miss such great games. Most of them have seen prices below $20.
I still play Diablo 3 Seasons for the rewards in game. I hope they will continue in Diablo 4. I will pre-order soon as I see it up for sale retail!! Hope they offer a good collectors edition.
Im just happy I can still get PS Plus for $59 a year or less on sale! I am NOT excited about Microsofts carrot on a string with the games are coming soon!
It seems many people hurt the value of PS Plus them self buy buying PS Plus buy the Month! I would not pay the $120 a year $10 a Month nor do I feel its worth that price. At the November Christmas sale price of $34-$39 a year its a fantastic bargain!
As far a stats go I don't care 1% or 100% I only care about my choice.
My Plan is to stick with just PS Plus! I don't care for old PS1 and PS2 game unless they are brought up to date! I will keep a eye on titles and any upgrades to them. Trophies could be a extra incentive to play games that old. Most of my time is already taken on PS4 and PS5 games.
If I run into issues around games distribution, I will just buy a XBox to set beside my PlayStation 5! My PC has about 10 steam games on it now. Why do some people think PlayStation is laying down not trying to compete. We just came off one of the best generations ever with PS4!! The start of the PS5 generation has also been fantastic. Lack of chip supply to keep up with demand has been the only issue.
I love my Trophies but they are nothing more than a personal log of games I have played. Funny thing is the more noise people make about how bad a trophy is the more I personally want it! Just like I had to get Hanna Montana for that reason and add it to my trophy list. Trophies give you goals to complete in games sometimes to things so you don't miss them. Playing a game is not some great accomplishment it life, you are playing for enjoyment and to have fun Right?
Here we have Sony bringing new services to it's community. Giving something that many members are really excited about. Now that they can not buy PS Plus at a CDKey's discount and only one Month a PSNow to gain years of that service are upset??? Maybe SONY should just STOP trying to do good things for this community!
I wanted a single player game from the start I enjoyed No Mans Sky. I have kept up by returning to play updates. The New ships on this update are a must have for me.
Not a bad Idea for end game content to be able to put the game on a shelf with your movies. I guess people have got to the point they cant say no thanks to a option. Maybe they are just looking for something to say bad about everything.
The only thing that makes PS+ bad for a month is if you already own all 3 games! Even then I you buy physical games its OK because it helps to preserve your Disc copy.
I have owned every Diablo PlayStation and PC. I have 6 Physical World of Warcraft collectors editions for PC played it almost exclusively from day one ongoing for 8 years. I am not going to miss Diablo 4 because of 5 people out of hundreds of employees!
Most people have enough to do just taking care of there own House, Family and inner circle without worrying each person at big corporations that they happen to buy goods at does.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Redesign to Feature Detachable Disc Drive
A external blu-ray will cost more than the internal blu-ray. Chances are it will cost quite a bit more. My hope is the rumor is false.
Re: PSVR2 Isn't Backwards Compatible with PSVR Games, Sony Confirms

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2022?

Re: Reaction: We Need to Talk About PS Plus Premium
As a service that is on a yearly basis it way to EARLY to judge the service on ONE month only!
