Ooh that would be lovely with the long weekend.
And more importantly, excellent to see a physical edition.
Given I rolled credits on that game well over two months ago, the idea of charging people on PS5 a premium for ‘early access’ is laughable. I know Forza is even more extreme given the age of the game, but Microsoft (and any company) deserves criticism whenever they pull this shite.
Astro Bot bundles (console + Astro Bot game download code) now available:

Good price compared to the disk console + physical copy of game (599)
Free God of War avatar.
The release date is apparently being announced tomorrow.
Looks like the disc version is going to be completely useless like with the Xbox version, it only contains a licence key and will require a full game download.
April 17th. Mark that date!
More Xbox to PS5 announcements incoming according to Tom Warren.
South of Midnight or Starfield maybe?
Not too bothered about either.
Anyone come across the issue where they are not receiving the SMS with verification code for login on the PS app?
Changed phone recently but still have the same number
Haven't used sms verification in years tbh, better off switching to 2FA verification code or even passkey
Logging into the PS5 and using one of the backup codes for the android app got me in.
Must change to a more modern MFA standard alright
No, but I have seen that on a few other services that I use. Maybe they all use the same provider.

The hype that Starfield had. XBOX must be nowhere near my radar cause I haven't heard a single person that played it.
It looks to be very well reviewed.
Does Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition on PS5 in Europe still have the stupid censorship?
Afaik it does as does the Xbox Series version, but not the One version.
Digital edition of PS5 rises to €500! Ouch!

The EU should force Sony to justify the increase. If it's basically to offset some US tariffs then threaten to levy a 100% on all PS5 consoles until they reverse the hike. Why should European consumers pay more to enrich the orange one.
got 1 ! 🙏
Hard to believe nearly 5 years since ps5 launch. Autohotkey got me a console on Harvey Norman website after waiting 6 hours for the sales page to load.
Does anyone know if there is a gaming headset that can play the game audio and also play music/podcasts from a phone at the same time? Thanks
I believe the Arctis Nova 7 is capable of simultaneous audio via Bluetooth and wireless. If you go for these I would advise going for the 7x variant as they work on all currently available consoles, pc and mobile.
Thats perfect, thanks a million. Wasn't sure if it was possible. I will look into them
I forgot to mention if you're using Spotify or Apple Music there are apps on the PS5 that will stream your music or podcasts directly on the console with the in game audio.
Yeah, I do this too, I did have to meddle with the sound settings in the game to get the balance right but otherwise works pretty well
Oh that's cool, I didn't realise it could do that. Thank you
