I've got the digital edition. Looking back at my PS4 purchases I think the only games I bought physically were Destiny 1/2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Everything else I've picked up at some point during a PSN sale. I haven't bought a game at launch since Destiny 2 so the fact that new releases are usually around £10 cheaper physically doesn't bother me. I also hate having a load of game cases! I know that ultimately it is cheaper to get games physically but for me it's not worth the space and time, I love being able to just buy a game digitally and download and play immediately. It also stops me from trading/selling a game for a pittance to go towards a new game, only to realise six months later that I want to replay it again - I have wasted so much money in the past rebuying games!

Right so I didn't miss anything, Xbox are just making a bad attempt at a joke. This is nothing like the Xbox One game ownership back from 2013 and the Miles Morales thing isn't complicated. It is a remaster, rather than just the automatic frame rate and resolution bump that last gen running on next gen will get. Therfore they are charging for it.

Am I missing something, how is this a dig at Sony? What are Sony doing that is different to 'Smart Delivery'?

Jealous of the 65 inch! I got last years 55 inch LG OLED, but it still is ready for 4K 120 and VRR so no need to upgrade! I ended up getting it from Richer Sounds as a refurb and hardly paid anything as my previous TV had some serious backlight bleed issues. I rang them up about a week before the warranty ran out and they took the value off the price of the (already discounted) new TV I have to say the LG OLEDs are incredible, easily the best TV I've ever had and would definitely recommend them! My big spend (other than the PS5) is going to be a new AV receiver. I've currently got a 7.1 setup but want to add a couple of Atmos speakers as well. I've bought some new speakers over the last week and will probably get the new receiver and Atmos speakers just before the PS5 launch, can't wait!

Got it

Yeah, I've already done the "register interest" thing, so I have a pre-order showing up in my account but don't know if that actually means anything!

Anyone able to see the digital edition on Amazon?

Yeah, I've got a birthday coming up and was planning on just asking for Amazon vouchers so that works for me as well. Assuming you don't pay up front that is?!

Not sure you can call it recent anymore but I got my Switch from Game it arrived day of release just fine.

Amazon pre-orders are going live 9am tomorrow

Either way I've got a normal edition pre-order in with Game now, although I would definitely prefer if I can find a digital edition and then cancel that one :/

That's still not a proper pre-order, it's the thing that costs £0.01 and that I did earlier today before the event.

Is that a proper pre-order? All I see on ShopTo is registering your interest.

Yeah, but it says it's out of stock already! Same with Smyths

Is the digital edition just selling out really fast or are pre-orders only available for the disc version?!

I literally bought God of War a couple of hours ago! Anyone know how PS Store refunds work

I'm a lot closer to buying an Xbox than I have been for a number of years! I'm still gonna get a PS5 at launch but once some Xbox exclusives start appearing then this is definitely something I'd consider picking up in another year or two.

Good damn Nintendo infuriate me. I would buy this in a heartbeat if they had updated the graphics but Nintendo just do the bare minimum and then slap a stupid 'only available for a limited time' label to prey on FOMO. I would probably play full price just for SM64 with new graphics, but this I won't be going anywhere near. The FOMO stuff with all of their announcements today actual sickens me, I think it's disgusting.

I'm sure there's a meaning here but I couldn't parse what you're trying to say. With the NPDs both physical and digital sales are taken into consideration. However, Nintendo don't release their digital sales figures so for Nintendo games the only figures available are physical sales. Essentially this means that Nintendo games are underrepresented as not all sales are including to create the rankings, unlike games from all the other publishers. I believe the only time Nintendo release official figures that include digital sales is during their quarterly (not sure if they're that frequent) reports.

Manchester United played as bad as they have done for years today, everyone on the pitch was well below par - especially de Gea who could have done better with all three goals, especially the second. I hate to say it, since he has been so good for so long, but I wouldn't be too sad to see him moved on in the summer whilst we can still get a bit of money for him! The irony is that if we had stuck with our cup keeper then it might have been a different story - de Gea conceded three times as many today than Romero did for the previous four games of the cup run. Also, whilst I don't want to use it as an excuse the fact that one team had 48 hours more rest/preparation time before such a vital game is outrageous and something that should never happen. It may not have made a difference as the manager picked the wrong system, but was that in part due to the lack of time between games? Either way every Chelsea player knew their role today and applied it without fault, they were by far the better team. At least Spurs beat Leicester, shame they couldn't score a fourth though which would have seen United move up to fourth place without even playing Hopefully United don't dwell on this, two more wins in the league could even be good enough for third if Chelsea don't beat Liverpool.

So weird seeing so many old names posting again! I joined a few months before the move from Cube-Europe to Revo-Europe, so 15 years now which seems crazy! I've never left but don't really post much these days - just the odd comment here and there. Saying that I never really considered myself one of the most active users! I went to the 2009 meet where @ReZourceman and I had the same bag (and other stuff happened...). Still have a few photos on my Facebook that I was tagged in. Also went to the 2011 one, where I just remember it pissed it down all day! I also remember there being a reasonably active IRC chat, would have been around 2009. @Raining_again and @nightwolf were definitely involved among others so it's nice to see you both popping back up again

I'm Edd I'm 33 Born in Weston-super-Mare, grew up in a tiny village near Cheddar in Somerset Have a degree in Graphic design, studied in Bristol for first two years and Plymouth for the third Now work in the Workplace pensions marketing team for Aviva in Bristol - love working from home, even though if I was in the office it would literally be a 10 minute walk from leaving my house to sitting down at my desk Have worked for Aviva for 4 years now and really enjoy it (most of the time). Most of my work involves creating and maintaining pension scheme literature, but don't ask me for pension advice as I am definitely not an expert! Was introduced to the old C-E forums by @Retro_Link (my cousin) back in 2005, so only a few months before the move. First username was Twilight_Link. I'm more of a lurker these days, although I never really considered myself as the most active of members even during my prime Helped with graphics for the site for a few years, but haven't been doing that for a long time now Have been a Man United fan since the first match I saw live was Villa vs United and United won 2-1 (thank god Villa didn't win), think it was the 93/94 season. When the new Wembley opened went to see all the England home games for a few years - including the infamous "Wally with a brolly" match vs Croatia, not a good night! Also a big Tennis fan and went to the ATP Finals last year Favourite games are Zelda A Link to the Past and the Witcher 3. Should probably include Destiny as well considering the sheer number of hours I've played

I've only been to see one band live specifically (The Fratellis), but I have been to Glastonbury a couple of times so that will help pad out the list a bit... A - Arcade Fire B - (The) Black Keys C - D - Dolly Parton E - Ed Sheeran, Elbow, F - (The) Fratellis, Florence + The Machine G - H - I - Imagine Dragons J - Jurassic Five K - Kaiser Chiefs, Kodaline L - M - MGMT, Manic Street Preachers, Mark Ronson N - O - P - Pixies Q - R - Rudimental S - T - U - V - W - X - Y - Z - Thought it would have been more :/ Honestly only remember a few of them - had to look up set listings to actually remember who I saw! My second time at Glasto was 2015 when Foo Fighters were meant to be headlining, but Dave Grohl broke is leg and so had to pull out. That kinda soured my whole experience that year since Foos are one of my favourite bands, the weather was also shit and I slipped and twisted my knee quite badly - ended up leaving Sunday morning so missed out on a whole day!

Is it possible to "miss" 2 & 3?

Miles Morales' suit is black and red, possibly a very subtle special edition?
