Eddage

No, he has his own account but he still could’ve selected mine when trying to get it to work. On the Nintendo account website it does show that his Switch was last updated a week ago, so before I updated mine. Either way though the fact it let him set any of this up using my account on a Switch that is not designated as my primary Switch is stupid.

Okay, I unpaired his console through my account online and can now load them onto my Switch. So it obviously locked me out because he must've tried to play one my games downloaded to his Switch and loaded the virtual game card. This then meant my PRIMARY Swicth couldn't load a game without pairing localy. Why the fuck would it it let him load one of MY GAMES to his Switch and then lock the PRIMARY CONSOLE out from playing ALL games. Fucking Nintendo, that's why... 🙄

I have a family plan online subscription, but my nephew's Switch was a brand new one he got a few years ago. At one point I set it up as my primary so he could play Mario Kart without having to buy it but I changed it back to my console being the primary about 6 months ago. I know that worked because it no longer had to check if the software can be played when starting a game. I've gone into my Nintendo account and it says virtual game cards "can be loaded" next to my nephew's but mine says "not paired". I'm wondering if my nephew has loaded one onto his Switch which has locked it out of mine without pairing the consoles. But surely they would only let you load a virtual game card onto the primary Switch... right?!

What the fuck is going in with this virtual game card shit?! I've just turned on my Switch for the first time in a while and updated and it won't let me play any of my games without loading a virtual game card. It says "In order to load virtual game cards to this console, it will need to be paired with Eddage's console, shown below".... the console it shows is my nephew's??!! In my account settings it says "This console" in the 'Pass-enabled console" and this was my primary Switch before the update, so why do I need to link to my nephew's Switch??!!

It’s rewardgateway.com, but this just takes you to the B2B website selling the platform to employers. For the Aviva version (and presumably other employers) you need to register with your payroll number.

Says they've sold out now. Just got an email from ShopTo as well saying I wouldn't get one at launch, I hope my Smyths order is good!

I work for Aviva which has an employment benefit giving access to a website that gives discounts for different retailers. For example, LG which meant I saved nearly a grand on an LG G3 OLED. I even just get 8% of eShop purchases and 5% on PSN. The Argos discounts are actually a discount on a Love2shop card and top ups, so can be used at other retailers.

Damn, you have to pay for it upfront with Argos... Oh well, no extra discount then. Save £110 on my PS5 Pro last weekend though so can't complain 😅

I’m lucky that my job has had overtime for about a year now and it’ll last for the foreseeable future. Means I can immediately have enough money left over from one month’s pay! Already preorderd with Smyths but want to get one with Argos as I can get a discount through work.

Saw Captain America yesterday. I’d say it’s one you can wait for streaming if you were undecided about seeing it right away. I quite liked it, but it’s mid-tier MCU for me at best. I liked it more than Cap 1, but I really didn’t like the first as much as most people!

Now to sit back and watch every single person who's ever said we should get rid of VAR scream and complain about how Man United scored an offside winner in the last minute... I'm a United fan but also firmly pro-VAR. Goal shouldn't have counted but hey ho, becuase VAR isn't used in the early rounds it did.

Ticket to see Brandi Carlile at the Royal Albert Hall. I only learnt she and her band existed about 6 months ago through a friend at work but pretty much fell in love instantly. So happy they're touring the UK and I get to go see them

Godammit, I've literally just finished playing this for the first time and I'm a sucker for remasters 😆

I think The Digital Foundry reaction touched on this nicely... Usually consoles are sold at a loss and the money is made on software sales, the Pro doesn't look like it's doing this though and they're looking to make a profit purely on the console itself. I guess that kind of makes sense when you consider that it's likely going to be people upgrading from the original PS5 so it's not really going to drive any new software sales like a new generation would, price still sucks though. I would like to think that for the PS6 it'll be the more traditional approach of selling at a loss so in theory could be cheaper, I don't think they'd be able to get away with it for a brand new generation when there's eventually going to PS6 only games. God knows what the market is going to look like in another 4 years or so though. 🤷‍♂️

Well this is pretty crucial though isn’t it… IF you already have a PC you can get a better graphics card for the £700. That’s a pretty big if!! If you don’t already have a PC, or aren’t particularly comfortable with building and upgrading your own then that’s a huge blocker. Yes you can buy a pre built but they’ll never be the best value and then you still have to worry about upgrading in the future. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to justify the price, I’m just saying that everyone going on about how you might as well just switch to PC gaming is blowing things out of proportion as that’s just not an option for a lot of people. Will I buy a Pro…? Before the price announcement I was definitely gonna get one, now I’m not so sure. Let’s see how much overtime I can get in the next couple of months 😂 One thing I will say though is that taking Forbidden West off PlayStation Plus is fucking stupid when it’s one of the games being updated for the Pro. They’re already releasing an extremely expensive console, then expecting people to pay full price (?) for one of the showcase games. I reckon if that, and a couple of the other games, were available on PS Plus then it might sway more people to pick up the Pro if they can immediately access these updated versions.
