How do people go about buying games nowadays with the customs hassle? Haven't tried anything over the €22 limit myself so dunno what it's like for anything over it. Amazon being a 10er or so cheaper seems to be a thing of the past.

Amazon include all custom charges and Irish Vat in the final figure they show you before you checkout.

Just a generic add, they've put out a few showing different features of the PS5.

The SSD in question is just the default one already in it.

I bought a digital ps5 last week. I’ve noticed that any games in my library from PS4 that I owned on disc are unplayable for me on ps5. It seems I have to either buy again or buy the disc version. There’s not too many disc games that actually bother me but my son got miles morales on ps 4 on disc and is like to get the ps5 version for him. His uncle has a disc version so would I be able to download the digital version of miles morales on ps5 if I log into my account on his ps5.

You can play ps4 disc games on ps5, but you need to have disc in the console whilst playing

Afraid so, if you didn't get the PS5 disc console then only digital games will be backwards compatible

You could always keep trying for a disc version and if ye get one eventually should be able to sell the digital on handy enough

Turned the PS on tonight lads, trying to load WZ but getting

“Cant use this content. Cant connect to the server to verify your licence...”

Any ideas? have signed in/out, restarted numerous times, manually added DNS etc to no effect.

I just threw it in and can't sign in, PlayStation network seems down.

Ah, sound man, just seen the ps plus thread now. Feck it anyway

martyos121

Yeah it looks to be down alright, I’m still able to download updates but can’t sign in to PSN.

Set the console to offline mode?

Did anyone here get an email about the new 3DS security measures? Saw it mentioned elsewhere, but I haven't seen the mail myself.

I got it yesterday. They’re just saying there may be issues.

“Unfortunately, while these changes are being adopted, 3DS authentication failures may cause payments made on games consoles including PS4™ and PS5™ to be declined. We expect this to impact credit and debit cards more than PayPal and other payment methods we accept. Voucher code redemption will be unaffected.”

Cheers. So shopping via desktop or mobile should be okay?

Here you go.
“How do I continue to buy PS4™ or PS5™ digital content?
You should still be able to successfully check out on console using PayPal or another alternative payment method. You can also buy Wallet-Top up vouchers to redeem on your console and then use the wallet funds for your purchases.

Alternatively, the off-console version of Playstation™Store – accessible via desktop or mobile devices – is not expected to be as adversely impacted by the 3DS implementation process so you can try using your credit or debit card to buy content via PS Store at: store.playstation.com“

Mr Crispy

Nice one, thanks Sarn.

Looks like it's getting reviews, but listening to the latest Beyond, Returnal doesn't sound like it would appeal to me

FAILSAFE 00

What are peoples thoughts on the PS5 game pricing. Returnal is the next title that is €80.

Reviews are great, my own thoughts are to wait for it to drop in price. Nowadays it doesn't take long for these games to drop in price.

Even though reviews are very positive I think it will sell slowly prompting a drop in price.

I would 100% be getting Returnal tomorrow but €80 is just an obscene amount for a game, I'm gonna wait until it is €60 or below. Same with R&C.

80 euro for a game is an absolute joke. 69.99 Dollars on the US store which is 58 euro. Get the games on there!

It sounds great, but €80 is far too hefty for me. I have a backlog that I’ll use until I can get it below €60 I think.

Yep, much cheaper to get games on the US store, especially for PS5

skerry

€80 for a game is madness. I paid it for Demon Souls as I wanted a shiny new title for my PS5 and figured I'd get a bit of mileage out of that one. When you look at games like Ratchet and Clank for 80 I just couldn't justify that for a game I'm gonna guess would be wrapped up in 10-15hrs play. Far too many games in the backlog and Game Pass so don't think I'll be paying 80 for a new title anytime soon

petes

Think I might get it, will have a look at some reviews later, long weekend coming up!
