Merry Christmas all!

I take it number 8 is a big spoiler then?

It's been coming for a while, I had noticed retailers running out of stock and not replacing it for ages.

Another multiplayer!? UGH!

Can't say I got much out of that. Very disappointed.

Well if anyone's searching for a PS5, apparently there's someone selling one on Amazon for £100 with free delivery if you want to take your chances

I think Final Fantasy VII Remake is the only game released this year I've played...My backlog extends at least 2 years if not more.

I would have bought it, but they lost me when they stated it was first person view only.

My concern would be that it might indicate it's another bloody MMORPG, just like that Chrono Odyssey game.

Don't believe influencers? Fair enough, I don't believe his statement.

Entered my serial number in (could barely see it!!!) and webform didn't send the info correctly, tried again and it said it had already been used, I bought it new so it had to have been an error. Contacted PlayStation customer services and stated all that with a picture of the serial number. I just got an email stupidly saying that the serial was invalid or used by someone else and not to reply. So annoyed!

Yep, watched 1 go per minute on UK eBay for around £800 and some over £1k, even as much as £4600.00 for one. Some people are beyond normal levels of stupidity.

@Kang81
Ah sorry to hear that, well either you can sell on or make peace with your situation, hope you get sorted either way

Maybe in that one example, but there is a definite trend of the digital one selling for around the £700 mark and £800 for the disc version.

Bloody scalpers, I saw over 200 added onto ebay in an hour yesterday and they've been selling at an average of £800 at 1 a minute today, but some have sold for over £1k, worst I saw went for £4600.00 plus P&P!

Pretty smart campaign.

Ugh! More online-centric nonsense. Seems anything new they add only relates to multiplayer gaming. Not all of us do that.

Push Square kissing Sony bottom again. Not good Sammy.
This is clearly Sony up to their old tricks again, seems Jim Ryan isn't helping either.

@JJ2
We'll see.

Considering you're spending a fortune for the console and the games are going to be £10-£20 more than usual it should be free.

Always online, digital game-centric spy machine. Can't say I'm excited.

If it can be proven that multiple people were playing on his account he should have the records removed from him. Surely the timestamps would be proof enough.

340 for me glad to have made it into the silver levels.

@nessisonett
Oh hang on....is it and the rope skip trophy in FFIX cumulative and not consecutive!???

@DualshockInfinit
Just put on English subtitles, they're translated

I have the PS4 2.0 headphones, are they compatible?

Similar to the problems regarding inFamous 2. Developers redesign, character, then get annoyed they don't like better, prettier version of main character, because they don't realise they should have known to have that there in the first place but replacing midway through is a bigger faux pas. What's with these people? get a lead artist to create a character and STICK with it.

3 for £1 or 39p a bag here.

30 mins left in the queue and Game are now out of stock.

@Daleaf
Thanks, Smyth's website seems to be down as well.
I'm still in GAME's sign in queue for what it's worth, still over an hour to wait but not particularly hopeful.

Edit
Smyth's out of stock now.

Currys now sold out of the standard console

@Boxmonkey
Cheers, but the site seems to be down now.

@Daleaf
Waited in the queue on GAME, got to sign in, checkout....site crashed.... currently 2155 in the queue on Currys website ☹️

April 2021 is my hopeful prediction

Slept in for a change as I'm normally up at 6AM. just the same as when the initial preorders were opened up, not having much luck

@thefourfoldroot
Exactly...a non-issue.

I'm quite happy to bully poor little games publishers by buying games during sales or second hand, because oddly enough despite inflation and dev costs they keep making record profits.

@mikeym
Well Sony've lied about a good few things thus far, so I'd wait until the camera adapter is in your hands before you believe them about it. That said I'd hold off for now, doubt it'll go out of stock soon.

@Matej
See, that I can understand, that's totally the right way to do it.
Edit: Same applies for concert tickets too.

Would have been amazing though.

@Icey664
You are selfish and £450 is also a hell of of a lot to spend on a present for a nephew, but it seems you want to play with him so...

@Icey664
I'm not necessarily assuming everyone is a scalper, but a lot of people have talked about applying for 2 or more preorders and not mentioned canceling them. Odd that.
And no, I don't think people should be allowed more than one preorder per person. If you wanted to buy your nephew one, it would have been more fair to give him yours, the present would have more worth that way.

@Icey664
Maybe wait until other people have one before taking more than your fair share.

@BaronSqwelch
Yeah those game prices are unacceptable.

Not a particularly cool prize at all...no thanks 🙄

Needs an option for 'Was waiting for Sony to announce a date to preorder, but greedy retailers have put me off the whole idea entirely'

Also, would be nice if a UK site actually showed UK prices too, it's one thing pandering to US first, but neglecting Sterling?

They can go spin! I've seen nothing yet worth the upgrade and seriously rethinking a preorder.

@rachetmarvel
I never thought the online games had the proper Final Fantasy vibe, this looks just the same and not much improved from FFXIV considering it's a single player PS5 game....unless it's not, which I fear is what it and also that wizarding world game unfortunately looks like too.

That was awful. FFXVI looked like a bad cross of FFXIV with Witcher 3 with 5 year old graphics.
Resi VIII looked ok, but it's another old IP along with loads of others (Abe's mates still doing same stuff they did on the psone) also too many remakes. Very depressing.
