Seems that way. Mystic tested the Cloud features on a video the other day, was some input latency (but the Cloud streaming is in beta stage still, so to be expected). It's powering through now with Xbox now offering more Cloud gaming options for already owned games (50 at the moment). Maybe one of these days, you won't even need a PlayStation console, just a Portal (or a version of it)

Platinums might be a little tough for some people (i know there's some easy as pie plats out there), but certainly number of hours played or a minimum length of time the PSN account has been active might have helped.

Same here. Worst case scenario, i'll wait until they're readily available before purchasing. I'm pretty sure i read somewhere that Nintendo are literally mass producing to prevent such an occurrence. But going back to the topic, the logic Sony had with getting pre-orders live for the 30th Anniversary collection on the same day as pre-orders went live for the PS5 Pro is bizarre. Could have alleviated traffic a bit by doing the Pro last week and the 30th Collection this week

Hour or so wait in a queue, but i also managed to get myself a 30th Anniversary DualSense. Have noticed the usual scalpers trying their luck on eBay with some quite extraordinary pricing strategies. Boy, i hate scalpers.

I think with all these "leaks and rumours" popping up, maybe Nintendo should just come out and say "we'll announce it when we're ready, chill"

And we're done. Platinum earned, with some small challenges along the way (if you know, you know). What an absolute blast that was from start to finish.

I saw that price, and was literally WTF'ng. I get it, things are more expensive. But this console generation alone is one that a standard PS5 is selling for more than it was at launch. A DualSense is now £5-£10 more expensive, and still has the same fiddly parts. PS+ is more expensive, games are now £70. And here we are with a PS5 Pro with 45% more power with an asking price of (depending where you look) up to 50% higher than a PS5 itself. And that's before you add in the stand (why is it not included as it was prior) and a disk drive (add another £80-£100). If this is the future of gaming, jeez. People laughed at me for being a Nintendo-only gamer when i was younger, and i think i might be going that way again.

Didn't i read somewhere that Nintendo has enough in the bank, that they could take 10 years worth of losses. I'd have imagined by now the Switch is either breaking even, or at a loss. And software is making them bank by comparison. It's confusing me a little as to why everything is going up, whereas this time in the PS4 gen, we were looking at cheaper consoles with the Slim. This time, the Slim is the same cost as the standard PS5. And i'm thinking the PS5 Pro will be £100 more than that.

Just a hint of what's to come. I was thinking, maybe they'll release sets of past PlayStation console-themed plates and/or a controller for the 30th anniversary. Want your PS5 to look like a PS2, here you go

Nice touch in Playroom Went digital with this, only because i had £40 of PSN credit lying around. The digital deluxe version didn't seem worth it, especially when most of the stuff you can get through in-game unlocks. Played 2 stages, and i'm believing this is grinningly good.

Didn't think they'd shelve the game this soon after release. Wonder if they will re-release on FTP (PS+) or not bother, even with the beta, it didn't seem people were that interested in the game then.

Hardly a surprise with Concord. It looked good, but comments i read on a State of Play showcasing this turned sour as soon as it was shown as a paid GaaS. Has to be one of, if not the biggest software flop from Sony. Not looking good for Firewalk Studios.

If you've not played Little Nightmares II, good chance as any to give it a pop.

Few essential things for the house New Oven and Hobs New kitchen tap New router and networking plugs (for work, my VM Hub seems to dislike the VPN work uses) New brakes for the car Pretty expensive week, here's hoping nothing else goes wrong.

How much is too much Tetris?. We could find out here, and couple that with the NES Tetris coming to NSO as well.
