Quick one, I’m moving to Spain next Jan. if I buy a Pro over there am I able to login to my normal Irish account and just change the region or would I need to setup a brand new Spanish PS account.

You can keep your account of course, but you will have to buy vouchers from a irish store ala gamestop who email vouchers

Cool, glad you got sorted. Took a few efforts to get it done myself too. Hopefully no issues now and they can fulfil orders as I'd say judging by hduk thread there was a big surge in sale yesterday.

Did you also get an email there today confirming the order? Bit of a relief having heard nothing for a week!

Yeah just got one there in last hour. Although it says delivery to my home address instead of Parcel Motel but reckon they just stuck billing address in there.

I contacted them yesterday via chat on their website and they said they would be processing orders very soon as there was a large volume to process. Hopefully get shipping confirmation this evening.

Did they quote the pre-discount price on your email? Gave me a scare, but I checked my bank account there and they definitely only took the discounted amount :pac:

I already had that heart attack last week and rushed to check my PayPal transaction and discounted amount was taken.

Hoping it ships today and I can relax then. Have already bought 12 month sub and if I get shipping confirmation today gonna pull the trigger on Yakuza 0 for €12.99

Yeah, the Yakuza series is on my wishlist, but reckon I'll start with Shadow of the Colossus. I've been admiring it from afar since the PS2 days.

So I was going to buy Spiderman on friday on Digital but €70 for digital is scandalous, US ps store $60, Amazon £50 and Smyths €55. Whats with us getting ripped off on the Irish PS store?

gimli2112

It really is. I went to buy the Division about two years after it released and it was still €60.

Varik

Digital games don't really have their base price changed often, but the sales price drops a lot more as time goes on. There a section on the store for permanent discounts and not much shows up there.



That golden plus discount had it at 9.99 before going back up to 49.99.

Lord Spence

I'll just hold off until Black friday sales, I have a backlog of games anyways.

Digital Foundry put all that downgrade talk of Spider-Man to bed anyway. Won't post the video since apparently there is a spoiler in it somewhere but I watched the first few minutes only where they talked about downgrade rumours and dismissed them.

Yup. Definitely not downgraded. Better looking game than God of War

Debunking the Spider-Man 'downgrade' [Eurogamer]

Decent (spoiler-free) analysis in their article of it. Basic gist is that the changes were artistic in nature, not technical. Just like the devs were saying.

Press start out of stock of PSN € cards, anyone know where to get them.

And as per Fielddog, don't want to be sending ID to anyone.

A bit late but I just used pcgamesupply to buy 2 x 20$ psn cards for 37 euro. No ID needed, both codes sent instantly and worked fine.

It goes beyond proving the downgrade chatter was complete bullsh1t, and actually shows that the game has been upgraded instead. The sorry pricks who were kicking up a fuss must be feeling fairly embarrassed right about now! Roll on Friday!

PS4 Megathread right now




Its quite obvious there was indeed a downgrade however as pointed out by Digital Foundry they received launch update prior to analysis. So the polish was applied last minute to clean things up a bit.

As pointed out in my first post it was only a small downgrade to begin with but people got massively upset here as you can see from the responses.

There has been. Multiple ones. But they all get closed as, like a picture above, it's like flogging a dead horse.

jcd5971

It won't ever change all he ever does is bait and stir up trouble, but if the mods take no action why would you stop.

Anyway game is reviewing great and I don't think there's another exclusive due anytime soon so we should be safe of drivel content for a few weeks.
