Nope, that thing is even worse because of the small SSD.Love how digital was great a week ago when the Series S was announced but now it’s a no go

- Start date
I hate it because I always end up buying games that I’m never going to play. Just in case though.
Really hope I can nab one on release date without issues.
I’ve never know game not go on sale. New releases are always more expensive than physical editions, but after a month or two even those will go on sale. Everything gets discounted at some point. Sony has 100m subscribers, it isn’t going to suddenly start jacking all its prices up and stopping discounts on games. As @Bojan11 their competition is Xbox live.
So does the Witcher. So does RDR 2. Nearly every major game goes on sale. I prefer digital. I rarely buy games on sales anyway. I buy all my games day one. I probably bought about 5 or 6 in the last month all day one. I am not the type who waits for sales.
You've got to admit it's not exactly ideal if you want a game but have to wait until it's next on sale to not pay loads more than everyone else, which could be months away or possibly never.
In fairness, games have been getting towards £70+ for a while now. It's just that they've done it stealthily by charging for versions with optional DLC (cut content basically).
I mean just yesterday I saw a version of the upcoming new Far Cry on PSN for £92
I guess this was inevitably going to happen with all these blockbuster titles (expensive due to improvements to tech, Hollywood voice acting, etc).

Same. Gonna try with Amazon next and then cancel my GAME order at a later date.
Final post from me tonight. Do you reckon I can pre-order the PS5 then download Cyberpunk straight onto it as I notice they release the exact same day in the Uk? Thats really the only game I want and I know the upgraded version won't come out till later on.
Yes, it should work.
Im pretty sure they took all the money upfront, not sure I can be bothered waiting 72 hours for a refund etc.
Atleast its coming via Royal Mail 24, so no dicking around with Yodel or some other nightmare courier.
Though apparently I lost out on 1800 reward points because they forced everyone to use guest checkout, so a pretty quick reminder why I usually try to avoid game.
I paid £10 extra for DPD. As I can stalk the driver on their app all day, where he is moving and when he is nearby.
Should have just gone for collection.
It's not great on the Series S either, but at least you have options on where to buy it. Between CD Keys, Green Man Gaming, Humble Bundle, Amazon etc you will normally find a cheaper option because all of those sites have to compete with each other.Love how digital was great a week ago when the Series S was announced but now it’s a no go
Nah, gonna try nab one from Amazon as they might do midnight deliveries. I ain’t going to midnight launch with stinky Sony fanboys around me.

Well I suppose Game Pass is one of the big differences. Sony still seem a bit behind there (PS Now is good but not as good).
Ordered with the headset...Xbox next week, so gonna be an expensive week!
It doesn't let me select in store collection. Not on the Irish site anyway. I wonder if they will add that later or if they don't want loads of people queuing during these socially distant times.
People completely ignoring the "up to" and that they already retail for up to that anyway
Everything looks a bit like when Black Mirror tries to make something look like it's from the near future. Controller looks much better than it did in early images though.
Wonder how many people have lost their shit and bought the lot? Aside from Elvis.
Btw smyths don’t charge until dispatch. GAME do.
Would really like the headset, but il have to make do with just the console for now. Wouldn't fancy having to pay out for two at once!
Game have a load of bundles. Can't see who is rushing to buy a console bundled with a media remote or camera - with zero saving.
I’m guessing only Very do the pay over 6 months thing? Don’t see that option on Smyths. Very haven’t got pre-orders up yet.
Probably Elvis
Just the headset for me.
Elvis so he can strip down in Uno. I still have nightmares of people doing that on Xbox 360.
Currys usually offer payment plans. Or you could go Argos via an Argos card. Usually have 12 months 0% interest via argos card.
So do Argos. And so does everyone who has PayPal. I was offered to pay by PayPal credit on game checkout.
You’re telling me we can’t watch each other play if I get a PlayStation?
Cheers. I’ll check out Argos/Curry’s. AO.com do it on all their stuff too but aren’t offering pre-orders.
We can FaceTime like I do with @Bojan11
I did the pre-register thing with ShopTo a month ago and it says pre-order confirmed, I'm happy enough to trust it but I guess will know for sure tomorrow.
I'm never paying anything North of £45.... Never!
Amazon seems to have gone live in Germany, UK will probably follow soon
