Nowhere under 79.99€?

Taltos

Anyone else just going to wait for price drops?
80yoyo just seems a bit too much for a new game at this point, even for a R&C

I agree but I probably won't wait the 6 months it takes to even be 20 quid off!

Nowhere. I had one of the games on Gamestops list which I'd long completed so got it for 40. Otherwise, I'd be waiting it out.

Nowhere seems to have it for less unless you're getting a digital copy from another region.

I’ll pay 60 quid for it whenever it gets to that price. It might take until the Christmas sale though.

Bit the bullet and paid 80e in Smyths.
Game looks too good. Take my money Sony.

Seems like my disc drive is faulty -_- had issues installing Gran Turismo Sport, wouldn't play a Blu-ray movie now wouldn't install GTA V.

Seems to work but after a little while the mechanism goes back and forth rapidly seemingly struggling.

Anyone know is there replacement stock like there was at launch or what's the story with faulty consoles these days?

Called Sony, DPD label ready to go. They estimate 10-15 working days for a replacement.

A faulty disc drive under warranty isn't a big deal but for some reason I can't backup my PS4 game saves. 7 years of working towards 100% or platinum trophies in loads of games down the drain.

Really sorry about that.
Can you not transfer the saves to an external hard drive or USB?

Nope, the second I select all or a single game to transfer to USB or upload to the cloud it shows as corrupt database, restart needed. I'll go through them one by one to see if I can salvage anything but it's unlikely.

Can get some saves off the PS4 from December at least but I've done a ton of gaming since then with a focus on getting trophies for a handful of games.

Have you tried rebuilding the database on your PS5? Bit of a long shot but it might work.

I'd actually be interested to see if there's a noticeable drop in sales at the current RRP.

Yeah. Tried safe mode to update, clear cache and rebuild database. Odd one alright.

It won't be. Demon's Souls was out at launch and it's still €80. Their recent "sale" price was €70.

Ratchet might be €60 at Christmas if we're lucky

It's 60 quid in Smyth's or are we just talking abou the store?

The other thing with a game like Demon Souls, I know I'm gonna be terrible at it so I'm just not gonna buy it at anywhere near full price. Then you've got something like Returnal which I'll either love or hate it, I'd be more willing to take risk at lower price. Something like Rift, I'll buy in a month or two even if full price tbh. Mainly holding out for an OLED tv at this point. The risk with a Ratchet game is lower in my head I think.

I get that. I saw some people flying through Returnal and yet I haven finished it and put 50-60 hours in, I'm terrible at it lol.

Demon Souls however I had no problem finishing it but have played nearly all the soulsbourne games.

I think Ratchet will be great and not to taxing and can just enjoy what's happening

I've a few games I want to finish first but will buy it next week

I got the BX and apart from a slightly slower processor there isn't much difference so would probably be even cheaper.

Yeah oled is bloody great for gaming, on pc at 4k 120 hdr it’s a thing to behold

Sony games do mostly seem to have better hdr though so really looking forward to rachet and clank

So Battlefield 2042 is €79.99 on PS5. €69.99 on PS4.

€59.99 on PC.

Think the justification is that we will charge it because we can. Cheers $ony
