Pay €140 a year, and get tons of 1st party games at release and a huge back catalogue that'll include 3rd party games after a few months. Like, basically, if you only played 2 games in the entire year, the sub is paid for. That was my rational on PC Game Pass. €10 a month, play 2 €40 games a month.

I know a deal of development and testing and other costs like packaging are incurred but the physical product is costing only a handful of euros to make. With the average RRP of the PS5 is 500 euros...Buying two new games, made of a small disc of plastic and metal is going to cost about a third of the price of the console... 32% actually. Treating yourself to 5 new games is about 400 euros, 5 fûcking CD’s, consoles 500. I wouldn’t be surprised if after Christmas the price of games and indeed the console drop by about 15 %.

I loved 3 and nearly bought the remaster recently, never finished 4 despite numerous attempts and struggled through 5. It's not that I think they're bad games, it's just I don't know what.

The more that do that the less digital can decrease as it just results in 100% of profits going to gameatop/cex/smyths in the long run. In my own opinion to sooner that model is gone the better. Of more buy digital we will see prices drop in digital over time and better sales as the margins get shorter. Also I'm a massive advocate of gameshare so I haven't paid more than 40 euro for a game at launch in years.

gimli2112 wrote: » I've never used it despite friends trying to get me to do so but it's quite legit and provided you trust the person sharing with it makes a lot of sense. I think my problem is a personality trait. My stuff is my stuff. I've never really looked into it but basically you 1/2 the cost by sharing games. If your internet is down you don't have access to your games but that's the only downside (or at least how it was explained to me)

recyclops wrote: » Works same on xbox and on ps and supposedly will do the same in the next gen. you set your console as your friends primary and you set your freinds console as your primary and then when one buys the game it appears on the other. Never heard of anyone getting a ban on doing it, the process is essentially on Microsoft website so they know its being done. I suppose the risk is you falling out with the person you gameshare with, thankfully thats not happened to me in the past 6 years and myself and my gameshare buddy will be continuing this cash saving initiative :D:D
