Makes sense as to why they removed an extensive chunk of older titles from various storefronts.

I mean, would Nintendo go the route Sony have done and charge £10 for an upgraded version of an already existing game.........or will it be full whack of £50-£70 for a newer Switch 2 version. And more so, would people buy them knowing these games will work on Switch 2.

Smyths are quite good for picking up the console from as well. Amazon, i've had some friends who've had issues with Amazon not delivering pre-ordered games on day of release.

Jeez, there's Dirty Dom heat. Then there's the heat Hogan had during his sporadic appearance. People just didn't want to see him at all.

I had cancelled mine back in July/August for financial reasons, but never closed my account. So getting December for free is a nice bonus (i honestly don't think i should get it, but i'm not complaining). Waiting for the inevitable Netflix price increase next year to pay for this

Shhh, don't tell everyone i scour Era 🤪 It's working very well. Completly forget that my monitor automatically goes on when the PS5 switches on, so the Mrs was wondering why Tetris Effect was playing itself when she walked past my games room/office. Quite like that the Pulse Elite headset works on it without a dongle, thanks to the new wireless settings within. The touchpad is the screen now, one touch pad either side of the left/right sticks. Cloud gaming on it works very well, which is the main reason i got one. Remote play wasn't a selling point, and i said to myself i'd get one if they put Cloud gaming on. My internet is quite fast, so i get a good connection and get little to no latency on it.

Same, got the 30% discount in the sale. Was going to get a cheap ShopTo/CD Keys voucher to purchase a year prior to seeing the 30% discount Makes sense keeping Premium, they added Cloud gaming to the Portal. Comes in use when i'm downstairs.

Just saw something. UK subscribers to the WWE Network get December for free, they've cancelled all subscriptions for this month ready for shutdown in January. Make the most of it i say.

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.
