Mini Kov wants spiderman, how come the prices are so high from the PS store.

Just ordered it from game, and saved £15


Online store prices are almost always massively more expensive, which has been true for like the last ten years. I'm surprised you're only just realising this.


If I want something I usually put it in psprices.com and get a nice reminder when it is discounted.. (today e.g. quite new dreams ins discounted to 29 euros)

I got city skylines on the mac , but it didn’t really have the simcity feeling, but just irritated me, the transportation interface was horrible.. so interested to see if they fixed it in this ps versuon.
Previous COD game (WW) is going to be included in next months PS plus and downloadable from tomorrow

I played a little of it and the multiplayer is okay - but no where near as polished as this years - however for free its worth a look

It shows free for me on the store page and in my basket, but goes back up to £50 when I get to the actual payment page; which is iffy as fuck if I wasn't paying attention.

I'd have been utterly gutted to pay the most I'd ever have paid for a single game and for something I don't actually give a shit about.
Mine went through as zero - however i can see people saying on the hotukdeals thread that its showing as 50 for them so advice is to wait

Oh, for sure, I wasn't in a rush anyway given that I'll likely never install it. I posted more as a warning to others really.

Looks like this month is also giving us Star Wars Battlefront II

I played a bit of the first one and it was okay but nothing special - not played the second one
The campaign is not actually bad at all.

CoD or Star Wars?

Star Wars. Up until the new one I hadn’t played CoD since Advanced Warfare.
Battlefront II is pretty great all over.

I’ve not played the multiplayer. If it’s cross play I’d be happy for a game or two.

It is not.
Then I’ll be unhappy for a game or two
Oh man, it wasn't long ago that I bought 2k20.
That's 4 quid down the drain.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered


Fall guys looks great but the Cod campaign is a little bit of an odd choice
MW2 campaign is great though. Shame I paid for it
Street Fighter V

I know not useful this time around but for next year if your still using PSN then look around Black Friday or on Amazon Prime day as PSN subscriptions are often featured and you'd have saved another tenner or so - and when you activate it then it just extends the length of your subscription

Can confirm....
Will do that next year..

I guess my son will need his own soon.. He has a local account on my 'primary' PlayStation. Using my next one as a secondary, so I can share games with him upstairs.

So the answer to this is actually more a yes and no question - you probably don't need another one depending on what your doing.

If you login to your sons Playstation and set it as your 'primary' device then anyone on that Playstation can use PSN and you can download your PSN titles to it
If you then login to your own Playstation then whenever you are logged in you can download your PSN titles and play stuff online

The only thing you would not be able to do would be to have someone else play on your Playstation without you being logged in as well.

Worth giving it a try first to see if it would work for you - if it does not and you need to buy another PSN I'd seriously look at a non-UK one there are often deals for the US version or some other regions for around 1/2 the cost if your just getting PSN so he can play online.

Destruction AllStars (PS5)

Entertain the crowds by bringing controlled chaos to the vehicular combat arena of this metal-crunching multiplayer game*.

Perfect your character’s abilities – including a hero vehicle unique to them – to give you the edge in free-for-all battles or team challenges and become Global Destruction Federation Champion. The game also supports PS5’s Game Help feature**, giving you hints and tips to become the ultimate destructive machine without the need to leave the game.

Control: Ultimate Edition (PS5 and PS4)

Master supernatural abilities and wield a shape-shifting sidearm in this third-person action-adventure from Remedy Entertainment (Max Payne, Alan Wake). Take on the role of Jesse Faden, Director of the Federal Bureau of Control, whose New York headquarters are breached by an ominous enemy. Despite outward appearances, the skyscraper’s interior is vast and ever-shifting. You’ll need to explore – and weaponize – this unpredictable environment to clean house and repel the invaders.

The Ultimate Edition includes the base game as well as The Foundation and AWE expansions.

And on PS5 console, use the console’s Game Help feature** for hints and walkthroughs to help you solve puzzles and overcome challenges as you explore the Oldest House.

Cleanse streets and alleyways, then use your Living Paint to create mischievous Genies whose magical powers will aid you in overcoming puzzles and seeing off bullies who pursue you. The game also includes two additional modes built especially for PS VR to let you further unleash your creativity***.
Dagnamit! Just got Control on PC via game pass. Downloaded but not played it yet but I'll probably delete it and do it on PS5 instead.

So if you subscribe to ps plus for a year you can get ffvii remake for free? Am I right in thinking that makes it better value than the game as a standalone purchase then?

Or would it be better to buy the game and then sell it on after completion a few months later?

Its more versions - yes if you have a PS4 then getting it for free is great - however if you have a PS5 they just announced a free upgrade and then said you specifically don't get it for this one - it just seems a little .... mean spirited

PSN also doesn't let you buy games twice which is normally a good thing but it means if i redeem my free copy of FF7 and then decide at some point in the future i want the PS5 version i probably cant get it since i already have a restricted version of the main game
I'm wondering if you buy the PS5 Yuffie DLC if that gives you access to the upgrade if you have a PSN limited copy.

Anyway, it's all academic until 2056 when we can finally get a PS5.
Ah, glad i didn't final fantasy yet


Still, that block on buying one version if you've bought another is a really weird thing, for more games i would like to upgrade to full set (dlc etc) but it doesn't.. and e.g. i had steep a year before it was on ps+, but it didn't allow me to download it when it was on ps+

And will i get access to the ps5 games i can't put in my liubrary now? probably not, but that it makes it my 'fault' i don't have a ps5 yet, while we're all on a waiting list

(it's a bit like the 3ds ambassadors programme in reverse)
