The is the first Christmas season that's it's been readily available to go into any store and buy one off the shelf so I expect sales to be very high indeed

@waltdisneypixar

To be truthful, thinking about it I can't remember the last Codemasters one I bought.... Quite often they are usually on PS Plus or Gamepass so I've always played them as part of that.

I did pick up WRC 9 on sale for just under £5 about 6 months ago

@waltdisneypixar

You could say that about plenty of games but it doesn't stop them launching at full price

@MasterChiefWiggum

I'm not sure what the prices are like where you are in Canada but here in the UK this game is strangely priced at either £45 or just under if you shop around.

Most new PS5 games here launch at the £70 mark so this kinda feels as good as being on sale right from the start.

Obviously I'm not complaining that it's only £45 but the sceptic in me does wonder why it's so cheap 😂

It's all about Super Mario Wonder for me this weekend

Probably because most diehard playstation fans already have a PS5 and this slim version whilst being very nice isn't really an upgrade.

As I answered in the Poll unless my Day 1 PS5 dies on me there's really no reason so buy this new version

Id certainly get one if I didn't already own a PS5 , I actually think I prefer the redesignd model.

Obviously it doesn't actually do anything different though , so it would be a pretty pointless upgrade at this point in time

Scruffs (no I can't think of anything else to say)

Next week's number one and two will be Spider Man and Super Mario Wonder

Not necessarily in that order

@Weebleman

Better in my pocket than theirs

Not good enough in 2023 Sony!!!!

I hope you're planning to re-emburce part of my PS plus membership for the time lost

Sony turning into EA

I wish I didn't already have a PS5 so I could justify buying one

Been playing it and enjoying it.

Despite the name change though I'll still say to the wife " I'm going upstairs for a game or Fifa"

Saying to her "I'm going upstairs for a game of EA Sports FC24" doesn't quite roll off the tongue quite as easy

@Sil_Am

You'll do well to complete it 5 times within a 5 hour trial period 😂

I'm really loving this game.

I've heard plenty say that it's a Forza horizon rip off and to be fair yes it is.... but I mean that in the most complimentary way possible

Is it as good as Forza horizon? Probably not quite ....but it's the closest thing you'll get to it on PlayStation

Looks incredible but as always it's how it actually plays that counts.

Looking forward to finding out

I bought it and really like it... My only gripe is that the commentary some how seems worse that last year.

I started a new career mode, I won my first game of the season 13-0 (I obviously needed to up the difficulty level)

In the 2nd game of the season the commentary said I'd be pleased with my start to the Season but would be really disappointed with the way I defended in the previous game!!!!

I know it's not real and they can't have commentary that covers every eventually but seriously.....come on they can do better than that surely

I was sort of on the fence with this product.

Im genuinely interested but didn't really want to Pay £200 for it, I was more hoping it would have been around the £150 mark so was going to leave it and wait for a price cut.

But then I thought.... what they heck, I'll treat myself..... it's only an extra £50

So I've pre ordered one from Smyth's

Makes me laugh people moaning and getting upset over this product.

It's like some people assume that it's compulsory to buy one. News flash... it isn't

If you don't want one then it's quite simple just don't buy one and let those that do want one enjoy it for what it is.

If you fail to see a use for it and can't understand why someone would want one then clearly it's not aimed at you.

@MasterPlayerOne

If those Xbox leaks on how much they expect to pay to publishers to put the games on Game pass are true then I think you could be absolutely spot on

There's normally at least one of the games that pricks my interest even if it's something I wouldn't usually play.

Unfortunately this isn't one of those months, not suggesting they are bad games just nothing of interest to me personally

@Quintumply @silverspeed

Yeah I kind of assumed that would be the case but as I mentioned I've seen nothing that officially confirms either way.

I guess I'll just buy Uno for the Switch and she can play it on that instead

That'll be a much cheaper solution to a very 1st world problem 😂

What I'd like to know is if you can play something on this (in the house obviously) and someone else can play another game on the TV.

I'm guessing probably not but I've not seen or read anything that confirms either way.

Reason I ask is my wife has recently discovered playing Uno on my PS5 and she's hogging it. Every time I fancy a game of something she's already on it.

This would potentially be a great device if it allows us both to play our games at the same time in different rooms (albeit an expensive solution)

Download it last night funnily enough but didn't have time to actually play it, unfortunately it has to compete for my time with EA FC24 this weekend.

I play it at some point over the weekend but it's not 1st in my queue

@Kidfunkadelic83

Very true indeed..... if there's one thing this place has taught me (well the internet in general) ..... it's that you will never be able to please everyone

Doesn't matter how good something seems on the surface there will always be someone that isn't happy / doesn't like it for whatever reason 🤣🤣

@Kidfunkadelic83

haha well let's be honest the world would be a pretty boring place if we all wanted the same thing and had the exact same tastes

I love Rally games and I was hoping this would be more following in the footsteps of Dirt 4 than a Dirt Rally 2.0

I definitely prefer the more arcade vibe than an unforgiving SIM racer

Having read this preview it sounds like it's more of the latter unfortunately (for me) so I'll probably pass on this one. Or at least wait till it inevitably come on to PS Plus one day

I'm not going to be all doom and gloom about it and say it's the worst month ever as I appreciate opinions will differ depending on your gaming tastes, so I'll just very politely say

"nothing of interest for me this month unfortunately"

@Rmg0731

All 3 of the PSVR2 owners will be devastated

How much do they want? we could have a whip round between us dedicated Push Square readers

You can't spell greasy without EA

I've got about an hour left of the 5 hour free trial.

Will definitely be purchasing it but will probably wait a couple of weeks till it goes on sale.

Ubisoft games are always on sale not long after release

Anyone who has played and likes Forza Horizon games would be reasonably well at home with this one

Mine expires at the end of November

I'm going to sit tight and take my chances on whatever the Black Friday sales are

@sanderson72

Price increase or no price increase I'd like to think most sensible people would always opt for option B anyway.

I got a years worth of premium for £64 last November when it was on sale and through an Amazon voucher loophole.

There's very rarely a better time of year to buy

@Jacko11

Just because my opinion is differs from yours does not make me "Wrong".... and it certainly doesn't mean that you're "Right" either

No disrespect intended but your posts come across with a very arrogant tone suggesting that everything you say is a Fact when at the end of the day it's just your opinion... that doesn't make you or anyone else right or wrong

@Jacko11

There's raising the prices and then there's raising the prices

Obviously nobody wants to pay more for anything, that pretty much goes without saying, however if it was a just a small increase from time to time then most sensible people would accept it and get on with it.

These are far from small increases though unfortunately

They won't be so happy when they lose half their subscriptions due to their greed

Mine expires around Black Friday as that usually tends to be the cheapest time to buy so I guess I'll see what offers are on nearer the time.

It's ok people getting understandably angry but for anything to happen we all need to vote with our wallets.

If everyone actually follows through with their threats of cancelling their Subscription Sony will soon drop the price again

@ProjectEve-Lover123

Me too 🤣

I get that it's probably on sale but buying FIFA 23 when then new one is out in less than a month seems pretty pointless

@LordAinsley

I'm exactly the same, unless it's something I really really REALLY want to play day one I'll just wait as I'm fairly confident that it will eventually come to either PS plus or Gamepass.

I have both but if one had to go I'd chose to get rid of my Game Pass.

I'm not just saying this because this is a Playstation Fan website but day one exclusives aside on game pass (and let's be honest there aren't that many), the games offered under PS plus extra subscriptions are far more appealing.

Just my opinion obviously, others may have the opposite view, all depends on your gaming preferences

Astro Bot Run - coming soon to Apple store and Google Play

Called it here first

@Cherip-the-Ripper

I hope so too, regardless of the Name on the cover, the more games made the better it is for us the consumer.

As it currently stands EA have pretty much got the Football SIM market to themselves.

A decent competitor forces them to push each other which can only be a good thing

@FredBiletnikoff

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it

I don't think they will do to be fair, I expected 2K to throw their hat in the football ring and maybe take up the licence but so far no signs of it

@Jbuggydroid

It for that exact reason I rarely buy any games anymore.

Unless it's something I really really REALLY want to play day one I now just wait because it will almost certainly come to PS Plus or Gamepass eventually

@Smiffy01

Definitely... I do love FIFA (sorry I think I'll always continue to call it that) but it does need some competition to keep it on its toes

Please edit the title to state American Football

Next you'll be referring to EA Sports FC 24 as Soccer haha

Haven't played it but would definitely give it my attention assuming the leak is true.

It's one of those games I'd like to play but not enough to actually go out and buy it.

That's where PS Plus is essential for me (Pun very much intended)
