Re: Poll: Would You Buy PS5 Pro If It Was Cheaper?

Member_the_game

I've been considering getting a 2nd PS5 so I can have one upstairs on my monitor and one downstairs on the TV.

I was holding out to find out more info on the Pro but the price has completely turned me off it.

I think I'll just pick up the slim digital model for £389

Yeah it's more the future that I'm concerned about than the here and now if this is the way prices are heading.

I'm more than happy with my standard PS5 and will continue to enjoy it without any FOMO on the Pro.

I'm hoping I can still rely on Nintendo to pump out reasonably priced products... I'm really looking forward to finding out more about the Switches successor

I think you're missing my point.

The Pro itself doesn't price me out as I've already got a standard PS5 and I don't particularly need a Pro.

It's looking to the future that scares me.

The PS6 will obviously be even more beefed up and powerful and this is where i'll probably be priced out.

There's no way the PS6 will sell for any less than this.... if anything it's likely to be more ...... much more...... and that scares the Hell out of me

I've owned every Playstation so far, but if this is a sign of what's to come that I feel the PS6 will be beyond what I'm prepared to pay

I think it's a fair comparison.

Let's go back to the PS4, the base model I believe started off at £350. A few years later the PS4 Pro came along at £399.

Then a few more years after that the PS5 released at £450 (Now bizzarly selling for £479).

You can see the pattern developing though can't you??

I'd love to be proven wrong and only time will tell but I'd be amazed if the PS6 starts at any less than this.

The only way it's cheaper is if this Pro absolutely bombs and they realise most people (not everyone obviously but most) just aren't prepared to pay that much for a Games console

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?

Member_the_game

Absolutely not, you'd think they'd learn from pricing the VR2 at such a high price point

What I'm more worried about is where this leads too in the future ..... how much are they going to want for the PS6???

I think I've just been officially priced out of my favourite hobby

Re: Sadly, PS Plus Premium's TimeSplitters Trilogy Doesn't Have Trophies on PS5, PS4

Again I've no arguments / issues with what you're saying.....

I just can't get my head around why it would make someone flat out refuse to play a game just because it doesn't have trophies.

If it has them, great!!!! Crack on

If it doesn't, just play the game anyway and enjoy yourself, life's too short to get upset over something so simple. (I'm not specifically accusing you of being upset, it's just a figure of speech)

Some of my favourite games of this generation have actually been on the Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Odyssey as a prime example.

On that game there's not a trophy in sight but it hasn't impacted my enjoyment of the game in any way shape or form.

Could it be argued that having trophies to collect might make it better? Quite possibly. But why anyone would refuse to play it (or any other game) because it doesn't have a trophy collection it completely beyond me

Why buy a PS5 when still in 2024 I can play the soon to be released COD and FIFA on a PS4.

Unfortunately you've hit the nail right on the head. As a day one PS5 adopter it makes my blood boil that we are still seeing Cross gen releases.

I could just about accept it in the first 6 month launch period but we're now 4 years down the line and it should not be happening anymore.

Make all new games Current Gen exclusive and give people a reason to upgrade their consoles.

I've grown up owning every Sony and Nintendo console and this Cross Gen nonsense was never a thing until recently.

You buy the latest console to give you the privilege of playing the latest games.

As much as I love my PS5 I just feel completely cheated this generation

@Frmknst

What a strange comment.

Are you seriously telling me that you've never, booked a holiday, ate at a restaurant or bought an expensive item (just a few examples) without first reading a couple of reviews to get other opinions on whether it's worth your hard earned cash??

If you haven't then fair play to you for living life on the edge lol

But reviews done properly and not by trolls can be extremely helpful to many people, certainly doesn't mean there something wrong with them for wanting another persons opinion before committing themselves and potentially wasting their money

Re: Sony Appears to Be Dabbling with Written User Reviews on the PS Store

Member_the_game

I'm fine with it as long as it somehow only allows people to leave a review if they can prove that they've actually purchased and played the game.

There are far too many fake reviews out there as it is from trolls.

As long as the reviews are from people who have genuinely played the game then I honestly don't mind and will value their opinion (good or bad)

Re: Reaction: PS5 Needs a Price Cut

Member_the_game

Personally I think the price is fine as it is.

Perhaps stop releasing games as cross gen and make them PS5 exclusive, which in turn will then give people an actual reason to upgrade their consoles.

It's getting better but I honestly can't believe cross gen games are still a thing almost 4 years into the lifecycle of the PS5

Re: Oh No, PS Plus Email Spam Has Suddenly Returned

Member_the_game

@Almost_Ghostly

They have definitely stopped for me (or at least they had, I haven't added this month's free games to my library yet so not in a position to confirm if they've started again)

In the last year or so the only time I've had a "thank you for your purchase email" was when I've actually bought something.... ie money changing hands......

Haven't had an email for claiming a free PS plus game in a long long time so definitely not fake news

Re: Poll: What Are Your Summer Gaming Habits?

Member_the_game

Bit of a boring answer to be honest but....... not alot changes.

If anything I probably get more opportunities to game because my wife and daughter both watch Love Island every night so I'm left to my own devices for a good hour before bedtime

Select ‘Settings’.
Select ‘Saved Data and Game/App Settings’.
Choose ‘Saved Data (PS5)’
Select ‘Console Storage’.
Click on ‘Delete’.
Choose the files you want to delete.
