Yes I was honestly a little surprised by the outrage over this website. I bought a PS Vita from the a few years ago and everything went perfectly smoothly. I've just heard that returns are difficult but never had any problems myself.
the PS4 can’t emulate PS3 due to how complicated the cell processor was. For now it isn’t coming to PS5 either tho maybe it is powerful enuff. That’s why you can only stream ps3
Sony's strategy is exclusivity to sell hardware, which is not a sustainable model now that the landscape is changing. Whether they hold that pole position for hardware sold or not, they will be smashed by subscription numbers where real money is made. PS+ was always a terrible value proposition, one I've loathed since PS4 first hit shelves and was mandatory for online play. On the flip side, I never paid for Xbox Live until Game Pass came around. Now I'm GPU and will likely be a lifetime subscriber. I would definitely not say the same of PS+.For those saying that Sony needs to look at their strategy, I would remind everyone of overall market share. I like what Microsoft is doing ... but let’s not pretend they’re the dominant player in 2020. They have more weight to throw around as a company, but charts like the one below show that Sony and Nintendo aren’t exactly dying with their current strategies.
I don't see that as their strategy. Why do you say that? They may not have gamepass, but software should still be where the money is made. (And now microtransactions of course.)
PS+ was the same exact thing Gold was. So if PS+ was “trash” then Gold was for all these years as well, you can’t just pick and choose.
By selling the hardware, you have a greater share of the software sales which exclusivity has pushed. That has worked for them so far but now games are moving towards a subscription model which will soften those sales. Essentially, they're becoming another island like Nintendo, where only their own exclusives matter BUT they don't have unique hardware to offer as a fallback like the Switch. That will erode their market share over time if they don't change.
My guess is they won't announce it's coming to PS5 until like a year later when oh hey look it's coming to PS5 like next week or something because Microsoft now has this weird habit of like shadow dropping games to other platforms then it's like oh hey remember this game? Yeah now it's here.
You clearly missed the part where I didn't own Live until Game Pass. It was the same terrible value PS+ was (and is) and Sony got the bad idea from MS, which I called out back then too.
Who cares? What does any of your post has to do with preorders or looking forward to the system. You’re trying to start **** with people.
Man I could fill my pants with the most disgusting dump and it still would be worth more than your posts on here.
Stay on topic....
You have to admit that Sony is already pivoting, if not a bit too slowly to fully compete with GPU. The whole PS4 collection thing that anyone with PS+ gets free access to on PS5 is clearly their rushed answer to GPU. If they’re smart, they’ll find a way to convince current PS+ subscribers to pay a bit more and combine PS+ with PSNow and the collection thing, especially if more PS2 and PS3 titles show up with the combined service as the only access point to play them.
Not disputing that, but the ultimate reality is they can't compete in this space if this becomes a race to acquire studios for their established games, which it's starting to look like. It's already bonkers to think how two of Sony's next exclusives are owned by MS. Game Pass on PS5 would equally be a trip. . .one where I think everyone would win.
I don’t see Sony ever allowing that sort of flexibility. I could see some form of Game Pass on a future Nintendo system before Sony ever allowed it in their ecosystem. Remember that Sony held back cross-platform play for almost an entire console generation because their ecosystem is locked down. Also, ironically not an issue now, but remember how Skyrim and Fallout 4 didn’t ever get mods on the PS4.
Being fair MS did that first from what I recall with cross-platform. I hope they can finally work together because I really don't see a downside here.
Where is this rumor from? Sony did not hold back cross-play first, Microsoft did. Sony initially was very open to the idea and only backed off when Microsoft saw no need for it. When Microsoft did see it as a positive, Sony pushed back as it wasn't beneficial for them to do so.
Correct, and they still fully supported it for many years with Microsoft stopping it between their consoles. Eventually, Sony and other devs are going to stop asking and just not support it. This what we have now because of it unfortunately.

Ignoring that you linked an opinion piece with some actual information sprinkled in.
I never denied that. My only gripe is people saying Sony wasn't for cross plat first, they were and still are. They also are the most supported for it among any console. What they aren't open to is working with Microsoft to bolster them up now that they need it instead of when Sony, for over a decade, worked for devs to achieve originally.
Weird, I pre ordered one but haven't gotten N email
Did they lower it TO 21.91 or BY 21.91? I'm seeing people saying that they had their controllers lower to like 48 bucks or so.
Sony has a long track record of shitting on cross console play ... shame they don’t have a troll discount on those Sony titles huh.
Cool. I can find at least 2 different tweets from people (screenshots included) who had their controllers adjusted to 48.05...which is exactly 21.91 less that the original price. And a few others who just it was "20 bucks". I'm sure what happened is that you got the benefit of them mistakenly reducing it to the price they were supposed to discount it to. I found one other guy who got the same adjustment you did.
I have Demon’s Souls and Miles Morales ultimate already paid off. I’m curious about AC Valhalla and put $5 on a preorder for it, but everyone is bashing it lol. I didn’t play that much but I actually enjoyed Origins and Odyssey so I don’t know if Valhalla regressed from those or what so I’ll probably wait for feedback on that one.
just because you keep saying this doesnt make it true. sony wanted cross play in the ps3 days, when they were trailing the 360, and microsoft refused. They used the breach playstation experienced and security concerns as an excuse, but the fact is cross play doesnt benefit the market leader. Also as has been previously mentioned cross play was done in the ps2 days.
lol
I did what now? You can read my post history, I didn't do any of that today. I was just bitching about not getting an Xbox Series X pre-order, and I posted some Target deals, and a deal at TJMAXX. Damn, if you're going to ride my dick all of the time, at least be accurate about what I do on this website.
Ah cool! I never really played an AC game. I've heard the last couple were good though. I am interested in how Valhalla turns out too. Hopefully Sony shows more off on Destruction All Stars. The trailer was cool, but the full content reveal will determine if I keep or cancel my preorder.
Amazon has been in and out for the last few days. Keep checking there.
That's fair. The cag in me is always pushing back on console launches (MSRP). If Destruction All Stars ends up feature rich and exciting I don't mind dropping $70 and supporting a new IP on day one.
Seems like it could have potentially ... will probably wait for a sale, but intrigued. Wish it had some sort of ranged weapon option when your driver gets knocked out of their car. I get that it’s probably more about the driving and a hesitation to add guns or weapons, but it would be sick to face down a car on foot with a rocket launcher or something.
I’m hoping they Sony gets a lot more out at or before launch so the scalpers don’t get much anyway. That being said, some have already been purchased for $1,000 on eBay, even after fees that’s a lot more profit than $100.
I was going to give you a hundred dollars, but I guess you don't want it. I will keep it. Thank you.
