- Thread starter SIE

yup managed to get a PS5 from Amazon, however Hope its not a scam like the Nvida RTX 3080 founders editions lol
I'll get a series X too but im not as hyped up about the Xbox, the one was not used anywhere near as the PS4 for me

I wasn't going to pre-order one and just buy one next year at some point.
Ended up pre-ordering one this morning!

I've got a disc version pre-ordered but £70 RRP for games is making me reconsider.
I looked, got a discless version in my basket on amazon, then went off to google to make sure only the drive was missing, went back and it had gone from my basket and had sold out.
I am now going to wait until the new year, as its been months since I have played on my main PS4, and the second one I bought has NEVER been used....so given not one of the forthcoming PS5 titles interests me, I would most likely connect it all up and then it would sit there gathering dust.
So its just going to be an XBOX Series X for me, and an RTX3080

The problem is that the £10 increase will cascade down through every level of retail. So games on sale will be £10 more expensive, and second hand games will likely be £10 more expensive too.itruk said:
We're at the point now where £50 seems like a 'bargain' and that's a bitter pill to swallow.
I remember paying £60 for mk2 on the snes from hmv
Day of release expensive back then
But at least cartridges were full of chips and hardware
And you got a instruction manual
Paying £70 for a disk is a rip off
I wouldent buy the digital only console i think it is false economy and will work out more expensive longterm
sonys digital store charge top prices for digital
Games for as long as they can
They only discount the old stuff or games that arnt selling
With the limited amount of games released in a modern consoles first year i think digital game prices will stay high
The other things that would bother me is how much the consoles cost and the diminishing ammount of exclusive games on ps5 and xbox
And the shorter life cycle that these consoles now have
Before a pro version is released
They have also just said it wont play ps1 ps2 or ps3
Games this is probably so they can push the ps now service
My ps3 still gets loads more play than my ps4 ever did not much of a library of games for the ps4 at all
I wont be buying anymore consoles you can build a decent pc for the same price robotech2020-09-18 07:20:29

I paid £100 for Street Fighter 2 on the SNES. Those carts were expensive. I think the cost of games is still cheap compared to buying a movie. The number of hours you get out of some titles is fantastic. Single player games that last 10 hours are a bit of a rip off but if you get them at release, finish it then sell it you get most of your money back. Having said that I went digital with the Xbox just so I could gameshare with my lad and not worry about disks hanging around getting scratched. I don't think games made now will be collectible in the future as everything is a licence now and new consoles have backwards compatability.
I'm gonna pick up a series X pre order next week and wait for some reviews to see what I am keeping.
I'm done with consoles and collecting pyshical media , my house is like a games shop with all the systems and games ive acquired over the years and I'm a bit sick of it tbh , having to buy new peripherals all the time is another big turn off. id rather put my money into my PC now as there is not much it can't do game related.

I think I have gone the other way. I have a gaming laptop for some PC stuff and VR but prefer to sit on the sofa playing these days. I get sick of buying the new GPU's at crazy prices for them to only last 18 months. I like the idea of having a spare hour and getting straight into it. Or chucking the cab on for a quick blast of SF2 or Shinobi. These new consoles do look like good value next to a new PC gpu. I cant believe what they still get out of a 7 year old Xbox One.
I like the PC as I can use what ever pads I want and I have my main PC in a nice big media case so it sits under the TV and looks pretty , also ive been using a GTX 980ti for a while now and it still plays anything I throw at it in 1080p , granted if your bothered about 4k (I'm not) it will get expensive but a decent GPU can last you years coupled with a half decent cpu.
I absolutely love emulation too and again can play alot of titles all the way upto wii u.
Grab a second PC with 15khz drivers and you have a great retro system too.
I will say though if you don't like tinkering then this will all be a major pain in the ass for you but I really enjoy getting it all working.
