Even if GP fails in future or gets scrapped by MS for whatever reason, you have to admit, right now it's excellent value for money and definitely worth the price. As for few years in future, who knows maybe a rogue asteroid will hit earth and none of this will be relevant

I knew Sony makes more money from digital sales but the difference between retail and overall digital sales is quite surprising. Just the Digital games and add on sales account to more than 50%.

Another 5% cashback if the CC used is Axis FK CC.

There's an equipment called 'Trouble Finder', it marks the substories in your map when equipped. Don't remember where to find it, google should help.

August PS plus games are live on PS Store. Will give Hunters Arena a shot, rest two are not for me.

Last I remember, they were working on a game with Epic games, announced last year. No news after that.

Also that decepticon guy . . or Panopticon or something :/

You're probably right, that cable reasoning does seem a bit odd. Besides my replacement PS3 slim died because of a power cut while installing MGS4 :/ thankfully, it was still under warranty from previous replacement, got a new one for no extra charge. Yep. Disliked the XMB, user created themes were great though, but pretty meh in general, so many freaking updates and none of them fixed the slow UI.

I agree, I guess it had something to do with that generations extensive foray into software updates, for games as well as the consoles, maybe the hardware and software integration wasn't good enough. PS4 and XB1 were far better compared to its predecessors in this regard.

I used to update firmware using a USB stick. I remember not connecting controller to PS3 through cable while updating. The update didn't complete and console got bricked. I did everything right, even firmware was correct. While checking the firmware download page, it clearly said in a note, to connect controller to PS3 through cable before starting update. So I assumed that's what went wrong. Updated the replacement PS3 with the exact same steps plus connected controller with cable, and it worked just fine.

I agree, definitely a boon. First PS3 broke because my controller cable wasn't connected during firmware update, bricked, out of warranty, paid 50%, about 10K I think, got new PS3 slim with twice the storage and a year of warranty. This one broke too but within 1 year warranty, got replacement with no extra charge.

Watched Jungle Cruise. Wasn't expecting much because its based on a theme park attraction and seemed like a cash grab by Disney. 63% Critic score and 93% Audience score, and I have to agree with users. Surprisingly fun and entertaining.

I get it, but half the price of a console for 2 year old tech?! As convenient as the hotswap ability is, it feels like a ripoff :/ Maybe that's why Sony decided to go with non-proprietary route, they learnt their lessons from Vita card days. Sony may or may not come with their official SSD for expansion, Gigabyte Aorus 1TB SSD is already available for 199USD, that's with heatsink included.

True, but isn't xbox proprietary ssd speed like 1/3rd of what these PS5 suggested ssd speed? Besides, its not proprietary, so prices should drop eventually. That brings the question, why does the xbox proprietary ssd even cost that much?

Not even one full page of discussions on this, I'm surprised. Also, this, knew there was something wrong with the dog.

Lol, I remember seeing your post and thinking that's a bit 'in your face' even though I agree that notch is a bit too big. Maybe one of the mods have the same phone and got pissed

A bit of nostalgia for a change. And dang, the beat holds so well even today

Well, their loss. Will watch it tonight.

Yep, it was. And seems like the ACt/Bliz stuff is prompting people at Ubi to speak out again: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-07-30-ubisoft-staff-say-company-continues-to-protect-and-promote-known-offenders-and-their-allies

Please sir, we don't do that here. Don't you know that MS pulling this crap is justified?

^^Bruh..that breastfeeding rooms bit. . . wtf?! How many times did that have to happen before they put locks on doors?! All these reports coming in one by one, makes it seem like this sh*t was going on almost everywhere in the company :/

Here you go... Besides, rather late than pull an 'Ascent' with 64 Meta
