They removed PS3 and Vita games back in March 2019 considering how old the PS3 was.

What benefit will there be with the removal of PS4 games if you don't actually see much of those benefits already after everything that has happened.

Bought a disc drive when the Pro was announced just incase I decided to preorder cos I knew if I didn't I would just sell back at retail price.

Also had the idea I would just use the disc drive from my slim and just replace the cover with a digital one so two options.

The Disc drive will always be available just depends how much you need it right now.

Sony didn't ask for Microsoft to put games on the Playstation so that doesn't mean Sony should put any of their games on Xbox.

Maybe Phil should have just made better decisions than buying up big companies and rather focus on making new ips or buying just a studio to make games, paying for it isn't on Sony to port any games over.

Also we don't need Gamepass on Playstation, don't want to be derided with that idea. Plus is fine as it is. Also what would that mean if Gamepass was on Playstation, Sony won't have a say in games etc and would have to pay something for the games being on the service on Playstation no doubt, we'll I imagine that's what will happen.

Can we at least get some remasters? Get another studio to do it then port that to pc.

Definitely not the reason why they don't include a disc drive to drive £699 to £779 or more.

I think the whole showing digital sales is a different topic of showing where the future is going not the reason why they didn't include a disc drive.

Edit: also want to add that you notice you'll get digital deluxe versions exclusive too the store and not retail where as you cannot purchase on disc which I have and many other probably may have purchased these versions of games which boosts digital sales.

I have also used the sales alot on the store and I felt i could have a game there and then. When you can buy vouchers cheaper online like on ShopTo where you'll save money and then further more strengthens the whole buying digitally.

My PS4 library where I bought many physical discs but then slowed down with PS5 just because of how easy to get hold of the games and ways of purchasing them and now Stars added in to get currency also adds to fuel of buying more digitally.

@Titntin they have been on Amazon all day unless you mean out of stock, they are showing as in stock as I type this message.

Depending on your tier on ShopTo you can get the PS5Pro for £685.85.

Ordered the Pro from Currys and will trade my slim or sell privately already have the discdrive ready. Snagged the Anniversary Slim before hand at Argos this morning incase, got time to cancel if I change my mind. I want the charging cable and box more than anything else from the Anniversary Slim.

I think I will just do it all again tbf.

Brilliant game so worth doing it again.

I loved the game but at the start I played it for a short period as i couldn't get into it but one day thought I'm going to try and play it more and then found out I loved it the more I played it.

Just found it was a little slow to start with.

Watched a video yesterday about someone who cuts out doing the story and rides the bike through the map around the terrain and manages to get to the end of the game without really interacting with much or the story.

Honestly from our side of things I always wish they could make some new single player player ips or use existing ones, heck even remaster older ones as there is new generations of players now.

I'm not here to defend Sony but I understand that they wanna push for live service games but I hope that they see that Concord can be a lesson as well as Astros release where they should be pursuing and not all of these live service games now.

Ok to release a couple but when it's been mentioned they have multiple releases they won't find themselves in good stead.

In one of the screenshots someone noticed that the PSVR2 has a battery indicator next to the other ones.

Throwing in if there is gonna be a wireless one coming.

Also someone said that wifi 7 can make it possible for VR2 wireless to become possible to do on the console.

Whether any of this is what will happen is something else.

If I get one I'll just remove the disc drive from my slim and install it in the pro and sell the slim as digital if I decide to get it.

Digital £499.99 and disc version £589.99 rumors.

@Max_the_German was just referring to your first comment.

@Max_the_German what about Batman 1 that is 15 years old with no trophies?

Not sure if it was commented but the bundle with Horizon was £369.99 in Smyths Toys.

@Titntin funny thing is I was gonna write a comment about Among US costing that much.

With Borderlabds being that price did EA screw over Sony to put NHL onto Essential so they put two other low price games on there?

Or is Sony really hard up on the games money front so they cannot afford to put better games on there.

It's a shame really, R&D could have put the resources to further develope the Portal to make it more native as well as streaming.

If people were willing to spend on the VR people would have bought a new native handheld.

I know they had good intentions but when they don't sell seperate accessories or anything to help fix the headset for people who need it they have themselves at fault for it I suppose.

I have a VR2 but I hardly use it just for different reasons but it doesn't give me reason to sell I just don't find myself wanting to get it out to play it, especially on hot days etc and just among other things.

Back in 2020 Sony made a blog and it states...

"PS5 is compatible with 8K displays at launch, and after a future system software update will be able to output resolutions up to 8K when content is available, with supported software."

https://blog.playstation.com/2020/11/09/ps5-the-ultimate-faq/

However they have probably removed it to place on the PS5 Pro box.

Waiting for Gamepass to go up eventually even more so with loss of revenues with Cod eventually being on Gamepass.

Has massive advantages but will hurt Microsoft eventually or the consumer.

Looking forward to it but it had been reported in the last 24 hours by Tom Henderson there will be mini battle passes in the game for cosmetics.

I wish these things wouldn't exist in single player games.

@Player_1_Ready a couple of months ago you could snag a PS5 Slim at £409 then went back go normal price now back down again

Just reading a comment on Reddit about additional controllers, would think at least by now Sony would allow people to buy other Controllers.

Well it would be great if we got to play some of the PC games on ps5 or port them so we can.

My PC was good back in 2015, won't be much use now with VR although was compatible back then.

Kinda wish they had announced a Astro Bot seeing as they are teasing for PC compatibility.

May as well get the pro, my ps5 has served me well maybe time for a new one then, let me guess though scalpers will be all over it.

@Rocky1972 yeah it doesn't matter all the games going forward launch off of Call Of Duty app on what you will be using

@Ooccoo_Jr such a jaw-inspiring game with graphics/setting/atmosphere.

Probably one of the best exclusives PlayStation has ever had I would say in some parts of the PlayStation world

Maybe they can rectify the ps5 with it being an issue and somehow put it into a seperate list unless that is to late to change it now

Maybe the game is just full of Spiders

@PenguinLtd I don't suppose you are in the UK.... ShopTo in the UK you can get discounted vouchers for psn store which I use.

I assume any other country like USA would have a discounted website you could use.

@thefourfoldroot1 tbf no one said you would need an additional drive and some people only play one game.

For gamers like myself I like to install a fair few games because I like to play a few hours on one then a few on another etc. I buy a lot of games so I just enjoy playing all sorts it's just the way it is isn't it.

Smyths Toys £399

@Darylb88 ps5 is now cheaper, disc version in Smyths Toys UK is now 399

Edit: correction

About 2 weeks or so ago maybe longer EA had sent me playtest info to see if I was interested but my pref was on PS5 so I had wondered why it hadn't been sent out yet.

@get2sammyb I feel its like any franchise if it has a story and I like the franchise I will want to go play it.

Originally I said to myself if Cod ever went to Xbox I wouldn't miss it as I would accept that but while I get to play it I may as well.

@Areus Blueproint Games could do it and Sony own them also as they have redone Uncharted and Demon Souls so I believe they could even remaster older games like Resistance and Ratchet.

@Nepp67 I bought the purple controller and plates in December last year, still loving the colour now.

Looks awesome

@MightyDemon82 instead of Rosie and Jim it's Phil and Jim on their Rosy Old Boat.

@Triumph741 are you referring to Insomnic who they bought? Wouldn't say they took them away from anyone, they were making games for PlayStation so they bought them. Don't recall off the top of my head anyone else but enlighten me if you know of any Developers they took from Microsoft?

I will definitely be buying this

If the price is right it's a no brained especially if you are new to ps5,
Games monthly for two years plus extra and premium

4tb probably do me for the rest of the life cycle

The idea is good but the price isn't.

Notice how the Vita lives on through their layout of apps

Don't worry, maybe go and prove you'll leave the UK then.

I only play Cod from Activision unless they release a new Crash or Spyro but knowing this deal it will be Xbox only so no issue for me.

@Shad361 does ps5 games like spiderman that have been ported load any faster on PC? Because I haven't bothered to look myself to know.

I agree with the worry on what has been said.

I had some hype into buying it at launch then cancelled near launch and decided to wait since then I haven't really felt the urge to buy it anymore.

Edit: that being said I could buy it and change my whole view on it but who knows.

Can tell many differences, look like HD and 4K difference.

I feel we don't need a pro, maybe just wait for PS6 earliest 2028 or something and then go full throttle going for 60fps/4k every single game that becomes available and nothing less than that spec.

Other than that is there any real need for a new console if it won't be much different to a ps5 in terms of what it does now?

@QualityGeezer I say the same about cars at my work we build, if one defect isn't right even if it is fully built they write them off. I always say can sell them cheaper or use them in a better way but instead they write them off through insurance and then scrap them, waste or materials and usage.
