I have 2 PS4s in the house, one primary for my son on his account upstairs and I use my main admin account on a pro downstairs.

I think that rules me out of sharing!

That's the intended use of game sharing by both MS and Sony.

But thanks for info - I wouldnt mind but I've a huge library - over 300 games in total so I'd be a ripe candidate for donor!

I too have a big catalogue of games and if for example you and I were to share, that would be against Ts & Cs and if caught would lead to a ban.

Damo 2k9 · 24-09-2020 9:38am

Was hoping that GameShare would stick around for next gen, myself and my brother have been meaning to do it for ages.

So seems while an independent company like CD Projekt Red can offer free upgrades of their game, Sony can't even offer the ability to use the Spider-Man PS4 saves on the PS5 version.

Even Ubisoft are doing it ffs. Although it's a pity they treat next-gen gamers with more respect than they do their female employees

Damn the PS4 Pro cash value gone at CEX. Was trying to finish TLOU2 before trading it in

What are Gamestop offering for PS4 Pro in cash?

How does gameshare work on PS4? Is it not risky to share account login information and is there a risk of ban from Sony? Or do I have this all wrong?!

Nope been doing it for years with a mate, we go halves on games and have saved a good few quid going that route

How Soon Is Now · 24-09-2020 10:37am

Just dropped all my Ps4 stuff into CEX said should have the money in my account by tomorrow.

Was just thinking I can't remember the last time I've not had a Playstation at home! Always had one knocking around until bought latest so it's mad having none at all now ha.

I couldnt go a day without my PS4! - I'm hooked on Division 2 since near launch day. Grinding every day

- I've a ton of new games stockpiled but they are all just gathering dust. Inclusive of which is a Quest VR set with Half Life Alyx ready to go. I wouldn't mind but I have a buyer of the Quest with a Quest 2 on pre-order. Not to mention the PS5 also on pre-order.

I need help

Sorry if posted previosuly...

Wonder if Smyths will do mid night launch? Would imagine unlikely if the rumours of only 10 consoles per store are correct. Have my holidays booked off work foor the Thursday and Friday. Cant wait.

Tempted by an extra controller and the charging station, must resist!!!

I see that both Harvey Norman and PC World have done online pre orders for the Xbox Series consoles but neither have done them for the PS5.

This is very annoying but confusing considering that at the minute PlayStations outsell Xboxs in Ireland.

Strange that 2 major stored apparently have enough stock if one to do Pre orders yet they aren't doing pre orders for the PS5.

Pre-ordered my PS5 and charging dock from Gamestop - Offical email received - no deposit.

Pre-ordered Demon Souls and added controller from Smyths.

Not taking any chances!

Heard a rumour today about Smyths closing in October and maybe only going online or click and collect. Bull**** more then likely but ya nothing would surprise me these days !

Not a chance, Christmas is their busiest time of the year so why would they close just before their busiest time of the year. Not everyone shops online either some people prefer to go in.

Have heard that throughout the last week or so as well.

Anyone know why delivery-only was available for the Digital version? Compared to click and collect for full version.

Agreed. At best they may be working on plans for how to continue in the event of lockdowns in regions, or how to manage the usual Xmas rush under Covid requirements of social distancing etc by trying to push more people towards online/click&collect.

They've rubbished that last week on social media, confirmed stores are staying open when asked

I know not PS5 related but did anyone see the price of the 1TB expansion cards for the XBOX..... $219.99. Ouch. Kinda makes the S version that little less appealing.

My SSD replacemnt drive for PS4 was €100, I assume the price will remain the same for 3rd party drives for PS5

They haven't announced PS5 compatible SSDs yet, afaIk.

recyclops · 24-09-2020 12:18pm

i thought the drives you already use can be used to store games only but not play them thats what i thought was happening with the xbox

gimli2112 · 24-09-2020 12:18pm

they say games are going to be smaller. I hope so as otherwise I'll only have room for Warzone and one other game, maybe something like pong

i love sony but they're making some really bad moves over the last week or two .

I have not been impressed with Sony's communication over the past few months.

I see a lot of people online confused about the Spiderman thing. Does the PS4 version get an upgrade, is Morales a full game, do saves carry over? etc. When you get to the bottom of it, it's not that complicated. I could explain it in two sentences. But Sony have beaten around the bush, made vague statements and just generally sown a lot of confusion. It's like they don't want to be the bearer of bad news, so instead they just act cagey, or tell lies of omission. It's not a good strategy, it's doing a lot of harm to their image.

That's just one example, there are more. The stuff about back-compat was poorly explained because their statements left room for interpretation. The HZD2 thing makes no sense - "it's designed from the ground up for PS5 but it also runs on PS4" - that's a nonsensical statement. The way they just kind of quietly announced the game would also be on PS4, like an afterthought. It's all very amateurish.

Costs nearly half the price of the Series X, and not far off the full price for the Series S.

Yeah, that price is absurd. Its need to come down in a big way....

I think the ten per store are for actual in store orders. Online orders that are click and collect are outside of this.
