@cuttlefishjones I switched from the OG PS5 to a Slim model and swapped the nvme. The Slim then rebuilt the database and all games were there. No need to re-download.

So the OG PS5 box had "8K" written on the side...the PS5 Slim box had "4K120" written on the side...yet we had to wait for a "PRO" revision to have a "new era of gaming" announced and to be actually "playing with power"? SONY now actually charges double for what they were supposed to deliver with the OG PS5? ... How come anyone still supports this business?

I bought the og-ps5 with the disc drive on release for two reasons...to play enhanced PS4 disc games I already owned and to watch 4k blurays. To my disappointment, I've later learned that the 4k Blurays can be viewed in "Dolby Vision" which Google told me, was superior to HDR, and it also told me, the PS5 did NOT support Dolby vision, which was very likely not to change in the future. As the purpose of physical media began to fade out during the PS3 era where many games would prompt you to install game data to HDD, what purpose is there for the industry to maintain physical media? What would be the target consumer group? Appart from the so-called collectors, whose houses and garages are big enough to store massive Ikea shelvings full of nostalgia, I don't really see any future for this. Is a digital store game likely to get delisted over time? Yes, sure, yet on the other hand, physical games without dev support and/or servers support / god-forbid left in an unpatched state, are not that different when it comes to ruining user experience, right? No possibility to re-sell physical games ? How is it better to buy a 49e game and sell it for 19e after 5 years compared to buying a digital version during a store sale for 19e even if it gets delisted in 10years and cannot be re-downloaded? Exactly. Not hating anything, I myself have a fair collection, just trying to get a realistic picture here...

will there be a remake of this demo for the PS5pro?

I'll wait for an offer on used-ones...as soon as those housewifes find out how much did their hubbies invest in a brand-new "aircon", those thrift stores will stock up like crazy

Updating a firmware update with an update? Sounds so Microsoft-ish Omg Playstation used to be fun ....... oh wait, that was back in highschool with Spyro 3 and stuff...what an era :-/

So if you create 4 different accounts on your console with 4 different emails and take turns with each account idling any game for a week, you can then place 4 pre-orders like there's no tomorrow? ... asking for a friend

This will sit very nicely next to the physical release of the Tomb raider trilogy.

One sad thing about the inevitable closure of the PS3 store is there will be no farewell-sales like on the 3DS / X360 eshops.

25GB for a Shmup game What an era! Can't wait

Pretty weak for a 20th anniv. if you ask me. There've been games with much better editions and those were no anniversaries Since they went with the lets-overprice-the-thing-via-LRG route, I'd expect at least a steelbook and/or a physical CD soundtrack (heck, vinyl even).

It was once remastered in HD already...why not use that version? Cant believe a machine capable of raytracing and marketed as 8k-capable wouldn't handle that

Oh dear, I had some 69,99.- laying around with no real purpose...the wait is now over !

4years in the making, 2 years of online service and we're done

Will there be a strictly limited physical release with an actual girl in underpants that would call you "senpai"? (asking for a friend) lol

But srsly, why this game and why now? What rock have the anti-fapsters been hiding under during the Cyberpunk 2077 relelase? I'm not even starting on Bayonetta and/or the likes of Catherine & Pantsu hunter...like really...some random 40+ cat-lady youtuber starts bragging about that and the snowball starts rolling...what an era.

will paper towels sell like hot cakes? .... time will tell LOL

So does this mean the "8K" sticker on the "OG PS5" box gets to be justified from now on?

Hm, seems like the latest PS3 fw update has stirred even more attention than the PS4 one

is this a 500$ chat-machine or what?

PSN Store-wise I can compare PS3, PS4 and PS5 (heck, even Vita at times)...aside from GUI polish, there is not much user-friendliness to comment on. PS4 is still a supported system and you cannot even Wishlist games on that. You do have genre categories to filter your search, however, only multiregion AAAs make the top positions in each category anyway. No screenshots in web browser PSN Store? Really? I actually have to google the game or switch to the infamous mobile app to see some actual screenshots/videos for the game in store...so not user-friendly! The PS mobile app is a case on it's own - you cannot even click/use any of the tags that appear in a game description. It's the hard work of youtubers (thank you Nintendolife & Switchcorner) that brings some quality games under the consumer radar.

lets all hope it wont turn into a Destiny-like multiplayer online thing...That is Not The Way....

"No actual dinosaurs have been hurt while creating the game..." ... oh c'mon. Marketing dept. these days...

Will those games disappear from online stores now?

They are walking the SEGA path...just let them

hm hmm so hard to choose ... there're so many of them, right? Nah...jokes aside..............wait, what jokes?

there will be zero people online playing it after 2 years...mark my words

I myself am a gaming cave-man dating back to pre-ZXSpectrum days, sadly, I must admit, all-digital is here to stay. All passion-related papermanualsmelling fetish goes aside when you walk into a gameshop and see pricetags inflated by tens of EUR compared to discounted digital offers. Even then, you bite the bullet and pop that disc/cartridge in your system just to realize there is a need for a download anyway...be it day1 patch or additional game data. Makes the sole existence of the physical version obsolete. The future is confusing to say the least...until there comes a visionary of the likes of Steve Jobs & Apple who can set the global trend firmly for decades to follow.

So apparently 2024 will be the year of mobile-quality games coming to BluRay yay

omg nobody issued refunds when Ghost of Tsushima PS5 came out Imho that was a far bigger upgrade mess than TLOU 2

Let's all hope it won't be an unplatinumable expert overkill like Crash 4.

There are not that many detailed textures to be really admired in "full" 4k, are there? I mean, it does look like Rayman at best

That's one way of marketing the product Creative indeed...or maybe not so much?

To my big surprise, I've hardly noticed any significant difference between GTSport running on a PS5 and the PS4 version of GT7 (also running on PS5) for which I got a key with my PS5 disc copy. Lets all hope major studios wont start recycling / rebranding their IP released ages ago for full prices in the future...oh, naive me, right?

You gotta go big or go home...or go HORI

The very same "Japanese giant" is being obliterated in terms of sales over in Japan by Nintendo ^_^ But yea...two exclusive games since launch and a subscription service are obviously not enough for M$ to compete these days...so it seems. But who knows, maybe numbers of Forza / Gears 5 sales on Steam would provide some interesting numbers ?

A device like that and there's no info anywhere, if it has a WiFi6 chip inside All sources with "tech-specs" state the Wifi requirement is 5Mbps...omg, are we back in the Ps3/Vita era?

No bad words update for the messaging part? ... oh wait, that's another system

At this rate, this could've remained a digital-only title. Absolutely no reason for physical release. They want us to pay 60 bucks for "adding trophies"...now that's becoming a really expensive feature / service these days lol

The good thing about this is that there is only one co-op trophy overall

5 years from now, AAA games will be bundled with an extra SSD

"You gave us your money, we won't ship our products, go claim your refund from SONY"...if that's not SCAM, I don't know what is

CandyCrush saga VR in UE5 or it didn't happen

What good are those "unique features" if hardly any developer implements them as they should be?

OMG is Kelsey really in it? Now that's a selling point right there

Still seeing my Chromecast4k as "unsupported" in Google Playstore...oh well...regional discrimination is still a thing in 2023.

it won't sell, unless there is a zombie mod included

Without the support for 802.11ax, it's not even worth releasing. It's 2023...don't know if Sony is aware of that...

The voice of Mario in a PS movie? Bring it !

53 years later, the western world still hasn't learned to appreciate the Gundam universe. Oh well... imagine if COD was a live service game...that would drag on for decades, no doubt
