Isn't this down in part to less people buying physical copies? Second hand market is stronger.

This was always my concern with moving to digital, we're over a barrel.
Good point. Pretty much why I refuse to go full digital, it's a rip off on consoles. Xbox is fine since I have Gamepass, wish Sony would offer something like that.

I might be one of the few, but I rarely replay most of the games, so I like to resell and get something back for them instead of just sitting there gathering dust.

This is what they don’t want. You are the enemy.
Well, they are starting to get their way, things are moving to digital on consoles at a pretty rapid pace. I just feel it's a waste to let something just there sit there doing nothing.

Pretty much why I like the subscription model, play it once and forget about it. Sony will have to hop on that train, but they will hold out as long as they can.

Yeah I’m with you, I buy and sell games pretty quickly, especially if I don’t like them.

Is anybody facing flickering issues with the PS5? I have tried and changed almost every setting (picture settings on TV and frame rate settings on the PS) but it still happens at random times. :(
Mine usually flicks off the source on the Tele when I load certain games up, flicks back to the ps5 source after 10-20 seconds though. Doesn't do it during gamings though.

  • Try disabling HDCP on system settings
  • Change "4K Transfer Rate" to -1 or -2
  • RGB Mode set it to FULL or Limited and test what is better
All within the PS5 settings, other then that different cable/hdmi port

I have changed the transfer rate to -2 which has made it slightly better. Let me try the other two, thanks!

Seriously considering getting one of these. Can anyone tell me, if I should get it with or without a disc drive? Also, can it really be true that it costs around £800, or are the stores pushing up prices while supply is low?

A bit fiddly but yeah easy enough. If I can do it anyone can. Works great, booted FF7 Remake up from it loads just as quick as it does from the PS5 SSD.
Cool, nice little Christmas prezzie to one’s self!

Been inching closer to one myself, my best mate loves COD MW and I’m getting fed up of the downloading / installing / deleting juggle each time he comes over.

Yeah I’ve been after one for a while too. Definitely an impulse buy, but feck it it’s Xmas. Going to need the space as there’s a lot of games coming out soon that I want to buy (Elden Ring, Horizon, GT7, Forspoken).

Treat yourself!

I can’t :lol: Over the last 3 weeks I’ve already treated myself to a radio controlled car (and a ton of spares to repair it after I crashed), nier automata, dark souls remastered, UFC4, metro exodus, limbo and inside, golden axe and green beret. I’ve spent a fecking fortune :lol:

Seems like I’ll be spending another fortune over the coming months too. GT7 (along with a wheel and frame), Elden ring and I really, really hope forspoken is as good as it looks. That has to be the best looking avatar I’ve seen on a game.

Yeah. If I’d have known how expensive it would be I may have put more effort into saving my relationship. I’ve suddenly got all this time on my hands now.

Before, I used to have limited time and had to pick and choose what I played and, to retain an element of attractiveness, I would limit the time my Mrs saw me sprawled on the sofa in my dressing gown while training my PlayStation claw. Now, it’s open season!

Back to that storage, did you buy that one on recommendation?

It had the best reviews from my 5 minutes of research so I went for it :lol:

Ha, Green Beret and Golden axe gobbled up so many 10p pieces when I was a kid. Was playing Green Beret the other day and it's still rock hard.
No doubt. I remember the euphoria of getting to the 2nd stage... Tough as fecking nails!

There's been some really good discounts provided for decent titles. Ratchet and Clank, GTA trilogy (not great reviews) and FIFA all down in price despite being relatively new titles.

Very tempted to pick up Kena: Bridge of Spirits while it’s on sale for £23. Is the deluxe version worth the extra fiver?
