hsk_colossus Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 68% of Horizon Forbidden West’s UK physical buyers paid £70, instead of the cheaper upgrade The practice was called into question by Hoeg Law attorney Richard Hoeg, who accused Sony of demonstrating “duplicity and greed” by wilfully selling two identical products for different prices and hiding the cheaper price from PS5 owners. “For folks not following what’s happening here, Sony is offering a PS4 version with a ‘free’ PS5 upgrade for $60 and a PS5 version with a PS4 copy included for $70,” Hoeg tweeted last week. “Same package. Two price points. With one displayed more prominently than the other.” “It gets worse,” he wrote in a follow-up. “The PS4 version does not appear to be offered through the store on a PS5 at all, regardless of whether or not you ask only for PS4 games.” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/68-of-horizon-forbidden-wests-uk-launch-buyers-paid-70-instead-of-the-cheaper-upgrade/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they don't know, or don't care about $10 more( compared to like 1k extra here ) I guess this is the type that just walks in a store and buys the latest stuff.

Not really surprised you're defending $ony's scummy practices when there is pretty much a global outrage - check pinned post by Snake on the H:FW thread. And that's the worst possible analogy. Its more comparable to someone paying full price for a product on advertised discount, only because they didn't ask for the discount at check out. 17 minutes ago, radicaldude said: Ideally both versions should have been priced the same.... This is going to be a problem with any Sony 1st party game with an upgrade route. Sony fixed their game prices for the PS5 at 70USD, while PS4 usually retail at 60USD. This is why going forward all their cross-gen upgrades will cost 10USD. Imagine someone upgrading to the PS5 during the mid of the console cycle with a huge collection of 1st party games. 10USD per game to get the PS5 experience for 6-7 games will add up.

Only 2 (more cross gen 1st party) games remain Gt7 and Ragnarok. I want them to get out of this cross gen gimmick and release true ps5 exclusives asap.

It has too high a volume to take it into EOS mode so soon. Sony will continue make games for it for at least another 3-4 years imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its sony after all ,who care so much for the millions of fans around the world . They wouldn’t want to leave the ps4 owners behind with such ps5 shortages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have AAA games too, aside from the xbox "exclusives" and bethesda titles. I mean it's pretty good with the what 7 months for the price of one being offered now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
