It's once again that time of year where I throw caution to the wind, kick off my shoes and get prepared for time off work over the festive season by buying a bunch of games. This year's sales have bee

It is kinda strange that while you're online, trophies can't just sync instantly. It's just a few bytes of data. But then, there's always been something clunky about their online architecture. I imagi

Why do people keep breaking the price down as if that proves a point? It's only 13.6 pence a day guys! That's a really small amount! The fact is, it used to be free, it's not particularly fa

There's some absolutely ridiculous prices there! Some must-buys for me too! How long is this sale on for?

 

EDIT: Never mind, just read it properly. I'm still too poor to afford any of those deals. Damn'. :(

Sleeping Dogs and Thief interests me, but I think I will wait until I can find them on disc for the same prices.

Why? Your disc just installs it to the hard drive anyway your won't save much space.

I understand why, it's principle of ownership. :)

 

Even I would take a disc copy over a digital copy if they were the same price, with Plus getting games for free is fair enough because last month we got Batman Arkham Asylum which I was more than happy to download because I wasn't too fussed either way - I'd have bought it already if I was - so I wouldn't now bother picking up a physical copy of it being that I have it digitally and it's only a game that I might play at some point before the new 'Next Gen' Batman game comes out... I've also got the Armoured Edition of Batman Arkham City to play as well which I also got for free on the Wii U. :indeed:

 

But for games like Metal Gear Ground Zeroes for instance, that was a budget release to begin with so I'm sure I could pick that up for the same price on disc pretty soon... if not then if it comes to plus for free then that's fair enough, I'd still prefer to go with a physical copy where possible though because at least you can just put the disc in the console, it installs and then plays without fail whereas with a digital copy lets say that you buy it but don't download it yet, then one day you feel like playing it but... Oh noes... PSN is down. :heh:

 

Most of the time it's fine but why chance it? I do agree that those digital prices are still very good though an worth investing in if the lack of a physical disc doesn't bother you. : peace:

It must also be said though that I'm very impressed with the free digital games that I've received since joining Playstation Plus as it's a really good deal and the discounts are decent too. :)

I'm in the same boat as @S\.C\.G and @Tales, i like owning a physical copy of a game wherever possible. It's something to be able to pick up a game box and look at it, i can't really give exact wording on that.

 

But that's not to say i dislike digital. PS+ this year (being my first year of it) has been nothing but impressive in terms of the free games and discounts that come with it. It's most certainly paid for + twice over.

Saw an ad for PS4 last night that actually almost made me want to get it - the one where they're trying to get a mate in to help, but then they get a guy who doesn't even have the game! Thought it was a brilliant idea both from the gameplay/social aspect but business wise too it's great advertising.

 

Seriously thinking I'm gonna save up and get a PS4 in the next year or so - was playing Fantasy Life online with two folks last night and had to set a Steam chat alongside - whilst not perfect/ideal we thankfully had no issues with it but it really made me miss a decent online system like I used to get on 360.

 

For all my hate for Sony in the past they're really pulling it together from the tidbits I see this generation. Realistically what would somebody be looking at cost wise with a PS4? Can any bluetooth headset work with it too? I'd def need some sort of headset, not neccessarily at great cost, but ideally not shit/buzzing in everyone else's ears.

Best deal for a console on its own at the moment is £300 for the white version from Gamestop. There's some other deals for around £330 with a game though.

Speaking of deals, I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to purchase Steel Dragon EX plus Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga 1&2 for £6 all in, I didn't think that was too bad for three digital PS2 games. :)

 

If I were to buy them physically then it would have cost me about £25 for all three of those, so in those instances I don't mind buying digitally if it's a good saving. : peace:

 

(This was on the PS3 store I hasten to add, the deals seem to be on until early December)

My Plus subscription has run out apparently. Give me a shout if anyone spots a deal. Probably won't get a chance to do much gaming for a week or so, but if I find nothing I'll just get the standard price.

The cheapest I know at the moment is from CDKeys where they're about a fiver cheaper.

CD Keys really, got mine from them.

 

With the PS4 being 1 year old, what are people's thoughts on how the first year has gone for them?. Myself, it's been great. So many games that have come out this year that i've either completed or are on my Download list for a rainy day.

purchased my PS4 today. Got a good deal... white PS4, Little Big PLanet 3 which has a £40 trade in value and The Last of Us download code for £299

 

Anybody want to buy the code? I have no interest in it so will sell to best offer.

I'll happily take £10 if anybody wants it.

 

Is that for The Last of Us? You're a nutter for aiming to sell it for that. For that price, I'd give the game a go, I had a great time with it.
