PS5 thread 2.0

I just happened to be looking at this on Amazon for £97 bucks, same one in Argos for €119.....whether its a good deal, well I'm sure someone more in the know will let us know.

Just picked up that drive and paying with Revolut got me €3.60 back by activating the offer in the app before paying.

I know it shouldn't but it surprises me how small the drive is. I keep expecting something bigger.

Extra is well worth the money, premium is not

Hi all. After getting the kid thee console for Christmas, after reading a bit it seems the extra membership is probably the best option?

Also, is it best to buy it now with a black Friday deal, as in I only want to activate it at Christmas?

Obvs I haven't set up any accounts for PS yet.

Buy it now, while you'll lose 1 month of the sub you will save €25 over getting it next month.

I'm in the same boat.

Had a look at the list of games in Extra and Demon Souls remake is the only one I'm thinking id like to play immediately so not sure its worth it in my case.

Not worth it at the normal price but it's the 25% off is making it attractive. There's a good few Indies that I'd definitely play there but would never buy.

Ha, same. The box makes it look about the size I was expecting it to be...but its not, its tiny 😆

Sony getting better with offering Game Trials.

Tried Olli Olli World, WWE 2K22 and NBA 2K23 this month.

They've added Ghostwire Toyko (beaten already), Skywalker Saga and Sniper Elite 5 this week.

Hopefully they'll put up NFS Unbound and Callisto Protocol.

Unbound trial is tied to EA Play and became available on Tuesday. Don't expect any EA games to have game trials or games available as part of the Extra or Premium tiers of PS+. The only way this will change is if they strike a deal with EA to add Play to the Premium subscription like it is with GPU on Xbox/PC.

Yeah I agree. I enjoyed the game but the sniper rifle was somewhat useless. Snipe someone from a tower and then every enemy with a square mile was alerted to your position surrounding the tower. I get that there's a level of realism there but they should have given more opportunities to mask the sound otherwise its a bang average third-person shooter.

Are you not supposed to wait for distractions? Least that how I remember it working in 4.

A plane would fly over periodically masking your shots etc

Well if you want it quickly and arcade then you can adjust the settings, but isn't that the realism of being a sniper is waiting for the exact moment to pull off the perfect shot?

As Markitron said, the opportunities are few and far between unfortunately. The levels are so large yet partitioned so you end up in small areas where the farthest you can get is sniping someone from 50foot away. I remember the last game where they had plenty of passing boats, cars or planes that you could wait it out until the right moment to mask a shot but there are areas in this where there is nothing and sometimes even when there is a noise, it's still heard in the distance.

Everything leading up to it has put me off a bit. Late review embargo, developer talking about the team doing crunch time, a season pass and updates for death animations. Sounds quite glitchy too so hopefully they give it a bit more polish.

There's a lot of hype around it so I'm taking everything with a pinch of salt. I'll probably wait a few months and consider it at €40-50. Also keeping an eye on Dead Space.
